Was Obama systematically spying on everyone who could threaten his legacy?



On Friday, Thomas Lifson wrote that last week’s news about the Flynn unmaskings was just the beginning. He cited a post by retired naval officer J.E. Dyer, at Liberty Unyielding, for insights about what Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell was carrying in a sizable satchel he delivered to the Department of Justice on May 7, 2020. Anyone could see that the satchel contained substantially more information than the five pages revealing the myriad Obama officials who unmasked General Flynn’s name.

Dyer’s article is worth reading in its entirety, but Lifson gives a quick, elegant summary:

The key message is that for years the Obama administration was mining the incomparable database of the National Security Agency (NSA), which captured virtually all electronic communications – emails, text messages, everything – launched into the ether. The potential for abuse is breathtaking. Everything that political enemies said to each other, except in private in-person conversations or in snail mail letters, could have been spied upon. And now it looks like staggering numbers of intercepts were monitored. Dyer makes that case.

What especially caught my eye was the exponential growth rate of queries that “desk jockeys” in the various federal agencies made to view information about United States Persons of Interest during Obama's second term, all without having to log the specific inquiry or the identity of the person unmasked. Here’s the data, straight from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence:

Hillary and Obama are scheming behind the scenes. There is still much to keep under wraps. Look out.

As if B.O had a legacy to begin with. It was 8 years full of scandals, lies, and messes. Everything that admin did turned into a big pile of crap.

He's a ghetto hustler. You can dress them up but you can't ever take that bad blood out of them or rarely anyway. And that quaint little story about his father being Kenyan and how his grandparents were against the marriage is the biggest bunch of BS ever. He doesn't even know who his father is and even did his run around mother. The best way to find out who his real father is would be to run his DNA through the LE DNA database they use to match criminals with crimes. You can bet a lot of his family is in that database.

He will not receive one ounce of action taken against him. As much as we all would love to see people have to.answer for the injustices that have been done. It just will not happen. It is all talking points for us.

It just seems to make sense that someone who wasn't born and raised in this country like Obama would not have any respect for our laws and constitution.
