Lately Pres. Donald Trump has been putting out "one liners" lashing our during the pandemic , or the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine is causing him to "gaff". While WE MIGHT LAUGH out loud , on what Trump says , there can be some truth to it. The rundown on (1)>>"Obamagate" is U.S. President Donald Trump's latest catchphrase.Trump accused former President Barack Obama of "The biggest political crime in American history, by far!" A few days later a Washington Post journalist asked the president what exactly he was referring to."Obamagate. Here is one that we all know of . Obama trying to sabotage Trump's election . (2)>>Trump was "spied" on. It's an older hashtag with which people claim that Obama spied on Donald Trump by ordering wiretaps. Members of the Trump campaign have been under investigation and even indicted, but there is currently no direct evidence that Obama had anything to do with it. It's getting attention again because of a memo released by congressman Devin Nunes.Devin Nunes is the chairman of the 'House Intelligence Committee' which oversees the FBI. His memo claimed that opposition research that was paid for by democrats was used by the FBI to get a warrant to renew (3)>>wiretaps on Carter Page (a suspect in the Russia investigation). Nunes argues that the wiretaps would never have been renewed if it weren't for democrat interference and that the investigation is political. It's important to note that Nunes did not read the court document that the FBI used to request the wiretap renewal and that the Trump appointed republican head of the FBI claims the memo is inaccurate.Some people see these events as further evidence that Obama and his administration were involved in spying on Donald Trump. It's been going on for a long time. It's been going on from before I even got elected. And it's a disgrace that it happened," Trump said at a press conference.Then Trump was asked about what specific crime he was accusing Obama of."You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you've got to do is read the newspapers, except yours," Trump said to the Washington Post reporter, in reference again to Obamagate. So what crime could that be that would make any logical sense ? UNLESS Trump was referning to (4)>>Gov. Rod
Blagojevich, scandal-tainted governor, after he was accused of trying to sell the president-elect's old seat in the Senate.The scandal was overshadowed ny Obama's attempts to have a smooth and orderly transition to the White House. Remember too that , a prominent fellow Democrat accused Obama of failing to move decisively enough to contain the scandal. Well it seems that there was a cover up of somekind , with or without Obama's knowledge . For I while I thought Obama was sqeeky clean cut politician. Blagojevich's scandal was quickly covered up , pretty much of the Media=Press at that time , the media was Pro-Obama . Obama is not accused of wrongdoing, and he has said he was confident that his staff did not engage in deal-making with Blagojevich. Ed Rendell, the Pennsylvania governor known for his bluntness, yesterday accused Obama of failing to act decisively enough to offer a full account of his team's dealings - if any - with the governor and of putting the scandal to rest. But Rendell, who supported Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary, said Obama had not gone far enough to dispel questions about the scandal. He added that the public understood that Obama's aides would have had some contact with Blagojevich - and that such contacts were natural and above board. "Politicians are always misjudging the intelligence of the American people," Rendell said.
IN LIKE FLYNN.
Trump started to tweet incessantly about Obamagate last weekend, just after a story emerged on Friday detailing Obama's private criticism of the Trump administration's coronavirus response."What we're fighting against is these long term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided and seeing others as the enemy – that has become a stronger impulse in American life," Obama told former members of his administration, in comments leaked to Yahoo News."It's part of the reason why the response to this global crisis has been so anaemic and spotty."It would have been bad even with the best of governments. It has been an absolute chaotic disaster, when that mindset – of 'what's in it for me' and 'to heck with everybody else' – when that mindset is operationalised in our government."The former president also criticised the (5)>>US Justice Department's decision to drop its case against Flynn."That's the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic – not just institutionalised norms, but our basic understanding of the rule of law, is at risk," he said.Republicans said Obama had breached the informal tradition that former presidents refrain from criticising the current occupant of the White House.Senate leader Mitch McConnell said Obama "should have kept his mouth shut".Trump, meanwhile, reacted by accusing his predecessor of committing "the biggest crime in American political history by far". Meanwhile, the Post is leading the media–Democrat effort to contort the fact that many Republicans were wrong in assuming Flynn had been unmasked prior to his name’s being leaked to the Post in early 2017 into a storyline that those Republicans must have been wrong to claim the leak was illegal. To the contrary, the leak is a felony, regardless of whether an American’s identity should have been concealed. Information collected under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is classified. (6)>>The point of classifying information is to keep all of it concealed, not just the names. WE should be asking that question because everybody's asking that amongst many other questions this on the Federalist did Obama's Department of Justice leaked Michael Flynn's Russia phone call to set him up did the Department of Justice leak or arrange the leak of Michael Flynn's call with Sergey kiss lack to get around the FBI's effort to keep secret the investigation of Flynn they did and that's all coming out now in the wash and I'm gonna show you two examples of that Flynn's lawyer Sidney Powell in October 24th to 2019 court filing alleged at the office of net assessment director James Baker is to believe to be the person who illegally leaked the transcript of mr. Flynn's calls you'll notice will never say a Washington reporters names it's absolutely useless so far this has not been confirmed by the government and Baker has not been charged this led to of course now many many many broadcasts this is how many broadcasts it takes to get to the root of the Obama gate.
Joe Biden's Connection?
NOTES AND COMMENTS"
(1)>>"Obamagate".The word itself is a play on the Watergate scandal which ended with former President Richard Nixon resigning after his administration was caught trying to cover up a failed break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate Office Building in Washington D.C. in 1972. Since then, 'gate' has been used as a suffix on many scandals, from Pizzagate and Deflategate, even to Gategate. (2)>>Trump was "spied" on. US intelligence agencies routinely spy on hundreds of foreigners. That involves reading their messages and listening to their phone calls.Before that intelligence is circulated throughout the government, the names of any Americans the foreigner spoke to are typically removed. So, the initial intelligence report does not say that, for example, Sergey Kislyak spoke to Michael Flynn – merely that he spoke to an unnamed American.US officials with the proper level of clearance can ask for an American's identity to be "unmasked", to give them a more complete understanding of the intelligence. It's a common process that happens thousands of times every year. Those conversations happened on December 29, 2016 – the same day Obama imposed sanctions on Russia to punish it for its interference in the US election.The phone calls were intercepted by US intelligence, which routinely monitors the communications of foreign diplomats. Officials were concerned Flynn had undercut the Obama administration's policy on sanctions by giving Russia the impression it could expect them to be relaxed once Trump took office. (3)>>wiretaps on Carter Page. In 2016 and 2017, there were four government wiretaps against Page, each reportedly lasting 90 days. The FBI’s theory was that Page was a Russian agent, or imminently about to become one. A wiretap allows government agents to collect, listen to, read, rifle through and store emails, snail mail, phone calls, text messages, photographs, bank records — you name it. But under a little-known policy, the government allows itself to extend the collection of personal material far beyond the wiretapped target … to people “two hops” away from that person. Unable to legitimately spy on Donald Trump himself, did intel officials search for people around him to wiretap, knowing they could sweep up Trump indirectly? Page could have been considered an easy target for a wiretap because he had worked in Russia for Merrill Lynch. The CIA and FBI knew of him well, because he had assisted them in previous Russia spy cases. (4)>>Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Blagojevich was convicted of soliciting bribes, attempted extortion and wire fraud, and was sentenced to 14 years. His release date was projected for 2024 until Trump stepped in. But why would the Republican president, who once promised to drain the swamp, show mercy to a Democrat viewed by critics as the embodiment of dirty politics?Even the president's fellow party members in Illinois criticised his decision.The state's House Republican delegation said in a statement: "Blagojevich is the face of public corruption in Illinois and not once has he shown any remorse."But Trump was having none of it. "That was a tremendously powerful, ridiculous sentence," he told reporters on Tuesday.Speaking to reporters after his release, Blagojevich described his "long, unhappy journey" as a "political prisoner" and thanked the president on behalf of his family.Even before he won the White House, Trump expressed sympathy for Blagojevich, who was convicted of flagrant corruption.In 2008, he was responsible for naming someone to fill the Senate seat of Obama, who had been elected president.(5)>>US Justice Department's decision to drop its case against Flynn. According to published reports, the unmasking of Flynn has become the main focus in Trump's unsubstantiated claim that he and his aides were the targets of an Obama administration "witch hunt." Washington Post revealed that Flynn, while he was still a private citizen and Barack Obama was still President, had discussed American sanctions against Russia with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian Ambassador in Washington. (6)> The point of classifying information is to keep all of it concealed Then-FBI Director James Comey suggested that President Barack Obama might want to keep information about Russia from incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn in January 2017, according to a newly declassified email that Flynn’s predecessor Susan Rice sent to herself the day President Trump was sworn into office. In the declassified email, which Rice sent to herself on Jan. 20, 2017, she documented a Jan. 5 meeting she took part in with Obama, then-Vice President Biden, Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates regarding Flynn. Rice decided to pen the memo at the direction of Obama’s White House counsel, Neil Eggleston, Rice’s spokeswoman told Fox News on Wednesday.“President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the intelligence and law enforcement communities ‘by the book,’” Rice wrote to herself, referring to Flynn’s calls to Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. The Flynn–Kislyak call was intercepted because the FBI had FISA coverage on Kislyak, and both the Bureau and the Obama White House instantly recognized that hyping the call could advance all these objectives. Then, they really hit the jackpot: Even though Flynn had done nothing wrong, Trump officials amateurishly misled the public about the call — claiming that Obama’s sanctions were not discussed, rather than that the topic came up but Flynn made no concessions to Moscow. This, naturally, stoked a few “Flynn discussed the sanctions, then lied” news cycles. These amplified the frenzy over publication of the Steele dossier — choreographed by Obama-administration leaks about the Russia briefing our intelligence agencies gave Trump. Flynn’s days were numbered. By Valentine’s Day, he was cashiered as national-security advisor . . . no longer an obstacle to the Obama-driven strategy of continuing the Trump–Russia investigation after Trump took office. Rice wrote that Obama “wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.”Rice went on to write that Comey expressed some concerns about the frequency with which Flynn was communicating with Kislyak, saying that it could pose an issue when it came to sharing sensitive information.Rice alleges that Obama then asked if Comey was saying that the NSC should not pass sensitive information to Flynn relating to Russia, to which Comey replied “potentially.”“[Comey] added that he has no indication thus far that Flynn has passed classified information to Kislyak, but he noted that ‘the level of communication is unusual,'” she wrote.She added: “The President asked Comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Comey said he would.” Flynn was fired in early 2017 for lying to Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with the Russian ambassador, causing Pence to lie in an interview unknowingly. Flynn pleaded guilty in late 2017 to lying to the FBI about those conversations with Kislyak.In April, documents were released as part of a re-examination of Flynn’s case that showed the then-counterintelligence director of the bureau openly questioned whether the agency’s “goal” was to “get [Flynn] to lie.” (7)>>Ukraine connection with his son Hunter Biden . Biden’s answer, his bizarre claim that “no one has said my son did anything wrong,” deserves more attention. This sweeping denial suggests that the former vice president is still unwilling to accept what even some of his supporters have admitted: that his son did something legal but unethical by taking money to help launder the reputation of a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch.
