When Did the Obama Administration Begin Spying on Americans?
I doubt that the spying began with the Trump campaign. Opponents of the Iran deal suspected that they were spied on based on how quickly their ideas and arguments were countered by the Obama Administration. Was the Romney campaign under surveillance in 2012? It wouldn’t surprise me.
Obama grew up as a C(r)ook County Democrat. His campaign twice tried to shut down “The Milt Rosenberg Show” in 2008. Milt said that nothing like this had happened previously and he had hosted the program for more than 30 years. I think the rot was deep and it started at the top with Obama.

Of all his perfidious actions, I think it was handing literal palettes of cash to the Iranian Mullahs so that they could continue to fund terrorism that should have resulted in instant termination of his presidency. Second to that, his support of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Obama wasn’t just bad for our country, his administration harmed the entire world.
Don’t you think that Obama’s entire life was lived as a privileged person? He was “clean and articulate” –sure! But he had spent so much time being catered to as the Multi-Cultural Being that he has probably never faced any situation that contradicted his sense of entitlement. Of course he’d become a state representative on his first try. Of course he’d be elected to the United States Senate on his first try. Of course he’d be elected POTUS on his first attempt. Gosh!
That Olympics failure was probably the first time his Radiant Special-ness didn’t work.
Not that this bothered Chicago liberals during all those 8 years….
And the political interference of the government in power got turbocharged when no one went to jail for that particular stunt.
I had not known that @unsk. Would you post some citations, please? Thanks.
I dont think the Obama administration was spying on the Trump Campaign. I think they where spying on all Republican Campaigns. Remember when George Papadopoulos was first approached by the FBI entrapment agents, in early 2016, he was working for the Carson Campaign. At this time, the democrat media complex was propping up Trump in the hopes that he’d go deep into the primaries and do signifigant damage to the eventual nominee (I think at this time, they imagined that would’ve been Jeb! Rubio or Cruz – Keeping in mind that in the democrat world view, the establishment players have a formal leg up on outsiders, with their advantages encoded into the nomination selection process)
I am not normally a fan of Steven Crowder, but when he merges facts with ridicule, its extremely effective:
A quick video, that summarizes the IG report, and the media responses. Also calling out liars for being liars.
edited – to correct typos, on the lairs of the liar…
I think it was Carl Sandburg who said that.
Well, yes. I suppose.
Another question I’d like to see asked: Why did none of the violations of FISA rules surface during Mueller’s investigation?
One would think a first step in any investigation is to validate your assumptions.
