Obama’s Justice Department has admitted that it never held any hearings to get permission to surveil Carter Page, as a means to spy on an opposition party Presidential campaign.
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today announced that in response to a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, the Justice Department (DOJ) admitted in a court filing last night that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court held no hearings on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) spy warrant applications targeting Carter Page, a former Trump campaign part-time advisor who was the subject of four controversial FISA warrants.
Now might be a good time to donate to Judicial Watch.
[National Security Division] FOIA consulted [Office of Intelligence] … to identify and locate records responsive to [Judicial Watch’s] FOIA request…. [Office of Intelligence] determined … that there were no records, electronic or paper, responsive to [Judicial Watch’s] FOIA request with regard to Carter Page. [Office of Intelligence] further confirmed that the [Foreign Surveillance Court] considered the Page warrant applications based upon written submissions and did not hold any hearings.
Let me paint you a picture. Russians, Brits, the DNC, the Hillary Campaign, and the Obama Administration colluded to pass off the debunked opposition research known as the Steele Dossier as evidence.
The FBI leaked stories to the press and then pointed at them as proof the lies in the dossier were legitimate.
No hearings were held because they might uncover the dossiers provenance and paucity of credibility, which is to say it has none.
The court rubber-stamps a secret surveillance under pressure from the Obama Administration on U.S. Citizens who had done nothing illegal so that the intelligence community could spy on Candidate Trump’s campaign, and later President Elect Trump’s transition, all for partisan political gain.
These are all facts, reported in the media or revealed through hearings or FOIA requests.
The Democrats weaponized the government against law-abiding citizens to protect their political power and when they lost the election to unseat a sitting U.S. president.
This only gets worse for the left. They are running out of places to hide. The media, at some point, will need to walk away from this scandal because while they will do almost anything to protect the left, they still need to keep the lights on.
As for the rest of America. If you don’t vote in November and elect Republicans, the Left is going to get away with this and if they do they’ll go back to using it to destroy their enemies which will inevitaly be anyoen who does or says the wrong thing.
You don’t have to love Trump to understand that this represents an enormous threat to liberty.
During his tenure as President Mr. Obama’s administration spied on private citizens, allies, the media, and even Congress. They released donor lists to activist groups to target private citizens who supported organizations or issues they oppose. They used the IRS to impair the ability of opponents to engage in political speech. The Democrat party hid it, ignored it, made excuses for it.
We have no reason to believe that will change. Ever.
