Fresh evidence the Russia ‘scandal’ is a Team Obama operation

Do you suspect that the noise over Trump campaign contacts with the Russians is just a political hit arranged by Obama insiders before they left? You got fresh evidence of that Monday, with news thatthen-national security adviser Susan Rice was behind the “unmasking” of Trumpites in transcripts of calls with Russian officials.

Again, nothing on the public record so far shows that anyone on Team Trump said anything improper on those calls.

It’s no surprise that US spooks intercept foreign officials’ calls. But intelligence community reports don’t disclose the names of US citizens on the other end. To get that info, a high official must (but rarely does) push to “unmask” the Americans’ names.

Bloomberg’s Eli Lake now reports that Rice started doing just that last year.

That was perfectly legal. But we also know that the Obama administration later changed the classification of the “unmasked” transcripts, and other similar material, in order to spread the information as widely as possible within the government.

1.The left has rejected the outcome of the last two presidential elections won by Republicans.
2. The left has rejected the judicial authority of the Supreme Court when it decisions don’t accord with its agenda.
3.The left rejects the legislative authority of Congress when it is not dominated by the left.
4. The left rejected the Constitution so long ago that it hardly bears mentioning.
5. The left was for total unilateral executive authority under Obama. And now it’s for states unilaterally deciding what laws they will follow. (As long as that involves defying immigration laws under Trump, not following them under Obama.)
6. The left was for the sacrosanct authority of the Senate when it held the majority. Then it decried the Senate as an outmoded institution when the Republicans took it over.
7. The left was for Obama defying the orders of Federal judges, no matter how well grounded in existing law, and it is for Federal judges overriding any order by Trump on any grounds whatsoever.
8. The left was for Obama penalizing whistleblowers, but now undermining the government from within has become “patriotic”.
9. For the left there is no form of legal authority it accepts as a permanent institution. It only utilizes forms of authority selectively when it controls them. But when government officials refuse the orders of the duly elected government because their allegiance is to an ideology whose agenda is in conflict with the President and Congress, that’s not activism, protest, politics or civil disobedience; it’s treason.

What do you would expect from obama who was placed in power by the globalist Elite the shadow government that seek to instill a New World Order global government to enslave us all. Trump is up against a monumental demonic Enclave of evil sick Satan worshipers. Pray to our lord and savior to watch over Trump and protect him and our great nation.
