The Scandal is Plainly Visible
No, not THAT one. A much bigger one that when mentioned, elicits yawns from the media and politicians alike.
Was Obama Administration Illegal Spying Worse Than Watergate?
Quote:But if a single bugging of the political opposition is enough to bring down a presidency — and maybe lead to an unprecedented criminal prosecution of a former president — then what are we to make of the recently unveiled Obama administration program of massively spying on political opponents in violation of clearly established law?
Because that’s what was unveiled last week.
Anybody seen much on this in the MSM?
Quote:This debacle also raises serious questions about the viability of our existing “intelligence community.” In the post-World War II era, we gave massive power to the national security apparatus. In part, that power was granted in the belief that professionalism and patriotism would lead people in those agencies to refuse to let their work be used for partisan political purposes.
It now seems apparent that we overestimated the patriotism and professionalism of the people in these agencies, who allowed them to be politically weaponized by the Obama administration. That being true, if we value democracy, can we permit them to exist in their current form?
That’s a decision that President Trump and Congress will have to face. Ironically, they may be afraid to — for fear that intelligence agencies will engage in further targeted political leaks.
But let's continue to chase the elusive, manufactured election loss excuse/distraction of "RUSSIA - Collusion!!!" down the rabbit hole and ignore the giant scandal that sits in plain view.

Unless I see it reported on CNN I'll consider it fake news.
Wouldn't it be nice if something was made of it and we'd place both Killary and Oblunder in prison.

If its a real verifiable story (and it is - subpoenas served, FISA court has ruled) and lamestream is ignoring it, then you can bet the bank its going to be bad for the demwits.

RE: The Scandal is Plainly Visible
Regarding the subpoenas, the reporting that I saw on the MSM stations, even local, mentioned Flynn prominently, but left out the names of the intelligence agency heads as if they weren't important.
Wondering if something isn't afoot. Get the documents and the story via subpoena out in the public sphere. Then and only then call the principals involved in to testify. Taking the fifth under those circumstances might look a lot worse for those involved than if they called them first before getting the documents because they will just clam up and take the fifth and where does that leave you?

Fake News will ignore the REAL story until Obama is on a dramatic cell phone call in a white Bronco being trailed by 22 police cruisers on a Chicago freeway. And even then---the story will be "Police Accused of Rampant Racial Profiling in Chicago!!!!"

I tried to explain this to Tom, but he simply deflects.
Lamestream reported the FLynn and Cohen, but those subpoenas were simply duplicates from the Senate.
They dont want their little sheeple to know about Rice, Brennan, and Powers being subpoenaed.

I'm still trying to figure out why Clapper isn't in prison.

No kidding. But the complicit with the Democrat party media will just continue to play the "cover-up by omission" game they've been playing all along.
If a Republican had been in the White House while this was going on, hair would be on fire and the world as we know it ending on every TV and most print media.
The double standard of what the liberal media will overlook/omit if it's done by a Democrat is just mind boggling. This is ignored, but we have commentary about how many scoops of ice cream Trump has as opposed to those working for him..............
