White House Demands Congressional Probe Whether Obama Ordered Wiretaps

Tyler Durden's picture

With Trump so far providing no follow up comments to his dramatic accusation from Saturday morning that Obama bugged the Trump Tower in October 2016, spending Saturday night at Mar-A-Lago where he had dinner with AG Jeff Sessions, he resumed the attack on Sunday morning when he went after the Democratic National Committee and President Obama in a series of early morning tweets.

In his first tweet, the president questioned rhetorically whether the DNC refused to let the FBI have access to its servers (as FBI director Comey confirmed previously, the DNC did in fact do that) after it learned it had been hacked: “Is it true the DNC would not allow the FBI access to check server or other equipment after learning it was hacked?” Trump asked.  “Can that be possible?”

He followed up with questions about President Barack Obama’s own ties with Russia, referencing the infamous March 2012 “hot mic” video in which Obama told former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev he would have more “flexibility” after his re-election: “who was it that secretly said to Russian President, ‘Tell Vladimir that after the election I’ll have more flexibility?'” he tweeted.

However, the first concrete sign that Trump intends to keep the pressure on Obama, came on Sunday morning from Sean Spicer, when the White House press secretary tweeted just before 9am Eastern that as part of investigations into Russian attempts to influence the election, the White House is requesting that the congressional intelligence committees probe whether “executive branch investigative powers were abused in 2016″, a strong hint that Congress should look into Obama bugged Trump.

“Reports concerning potentially politically motivated investigations immediately ahead of the 2016 election are very troubling,” Spicer tweeted.

The White House spokesman then said that Trump is requesting that congressional committees determine whether “executive branch investigative powers were abused in 2016.”

And, hinting that a voluntary gag order will be implemented, Spicer said that “neither the White House nor the President will comment further until such oversight is conducted,” Spicer added.

In any case, while Democrats have accused Trump of fabricating his accusation that Obama bugged the president’s phones to deflect from the media’s full court press to suggest that Trump’s aides had ties to Russia, it now appears that Trump is pushing back with demands of a similar probe, focusing on alleged “executive power violations” by Obama. While it is unclear how far either probe will go, the stakes have suddenly soared, escalating to the very top with either the current or the former president finding themselves with much to lose, if the other side’s accusations are confirmed.

We The People “own” the government. We The People, “own” the present failures of the government to investigate, prosecute and jail, our Oppressors- the banks.

Presently, the banks have everyone conned in the belief, “Government is the problem”… It isn’t…

The banks and corrupted politicians, owned by the banks are the problem.

At this point, does anyone need any explanation, the banks are wholly-Insolvent, criminal and impossibly-corrupt-beyond-belief?

TBTF traces its roots to the English-based, imposter, parasite and criminal cartel, presently athwart the financial well-being of the US.

https://livinglies.wordpress.com/2016/07/15/david-dayen-eric-holders-longtime-excuse-for-not-prosecuting-banks-just-crashed-and-burned/

The former English Finance Minister, George Osborne, appears to have compelled Treason and Comey, Lynch, Breuer and Holder, appear to have all, willingly complied.

The plea bargain, described as a “Deferred Prosecution Agreement”, or, “DPA”, was booked in September 2012 and the criminal behaviors were signed, in December 2012.

The Moore Family of Philadelphia first exposed the DPA:

http://www.wsj.com/articles/how-a-pennsylvania-couple-may-force-hsbc-to-release-secret-report-1456774966

Federal Judge Gleeson wrote the following analysis:

You may read the court document here:
Case 1:12-cr-00763-JG Document 23 Filed 07/01/13

The violations occurred in Brooklyn. Loretta Lynch signed for Brooklyn as Prosecutor on Dec 2012.

Lanny Breuer signed for Eric Holder as Assistant AG on Dec 2012.

So… Holder, Breuer and Lynch all know and 3 months after they conspired through the DPA to conceal their plea bargain, James Comey was placed on the Executive Board of the English – Chinese hybrid, HSBC- “Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation”.

The Bankers’ endgame?: They have counterfeit a claim of 1200 Trillion, listed, on their books, as “Assets”- 1200 trillion is 20 X the combined GDP of every country, on the planet…

In other words, The criminals are claiming the “Gross” proceeds of the next 20 years, of every country on the planet as “their Assets”. It is beyond absurd; beyond criminal.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-is-how-much-money-exists-in-the-entire-world-in-one-chart-2015-12-18

Our Oppressors have destroyed themselves: The criminal banks owe more than they can ever, possibly demonstrate as realistic “Assets”.

The 1200 trillion are predicated upon collecting insurance frauds (derivatives) levied against homes, presently in fraudclosures, with the balance of US Homes to be added, after the “Brexit”.

Anyone, with half a brain in their head, ought to be asking: “How, in this world, or, any other, has the English Pound managed to survive (although diminished), while every other currency on the planet is now, marked, for destruction”?

I mean… correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the English attack this country, twice? And haven’t the Americans forgiven any number of their debts?

“WHY? IN THE WORLD, ARE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TOLERATING ENGLISH INTERFERENCE, IN OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM, FOR ANY REASON, WHATEVER”?

The REMICs are hopelessly fraudulent and devoid of “Assets”, hence a fraud, on their face; while now, better-described as, “REMIFs- Real Estate Monopolized Insurance Frauds”. The Pooling and Servicing Agreements-PSAs”, to these frauds are also complete fraud, while installed, merely to keep “honor”, among thieves.

In the meantime, since Comey first fashioned the template for Treason, in 2005, under George Bush…

http://thepoliticsforums.com/threads/70200-James-Comey-money-launderer

FBI Director Comey was board member of HSBC – Clinton Foundation & Drug Cartel ‘bank of choice’

… The original template for Treason has been resurrected, under the Obama “DOJ?”, (see Federal Judge Gleeson’s analysis, above).

Treason?: Since 2005 and any number of failures to hold criminals to account for laundering Terror and drug cartel money, some 1384 American and British Soldiers have been murdered, by IEDS and EFPs, in Afghanistan, alone:

It is no secret Iranian “Quds Forces” have been instructing the indigenous populations of Iraq and Afghanistan in the use of IEDs and EFPs and the cost to Coalition Forces, in Afghanistan, alone, through the use of these weapons is over 1384 fatalities.

In Federal Judge Gleeson’s analysis, above, a number of “sanctioned entities”, among them, Iran, are listed in violation of: “Trading With The Enemy Act”, all AMLs- “Anti-Money-Laundering Acts”, the “International Emergency Economic Powers Act” and BSA- “Bank Secrecy Act”.

It seems likely, the Iraq LIE …

(see:
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/07/world/europe/chilcot-report.html?_r=0),

fashioned by Tony Blair and George Bush, was used to undermine the “Euro”, because, prior to the Iraq LIE, Iran was threatening a “Bourse”, for their oil. In other words, Iran was threatening to sell their oil to any country willing to use other than the wholly-fraudulent, US Dollars, operating in service to the intentionally-mislabeled, “Federal Reserve- neither federal, nor, possessing ANY reserves, whatsoever”, (see, The Web of Debt, Dr. Ellen Brown).

1200 Trillion of Insurance Frauds (derivatives), predicated upon fraudclosures, as “Naked Short Sale Bets”, has been described, above, as a criminal, cyclonic-whirly-gig, that is destined to the fate of Icarus, once the wax seals melt, the feathers are plucked and the whole, criminal obscenity comes crashing back to earth.

Our government and “Law Enforcement”?, now fund the murder of American and British Soldiers, in order to legitimize a wholly-fraudulent, English-based, criminal, wholly-“Insolvent”, parasite and fraudulent, central banking cartel.

The “proxy” to drive and reinvigorate endless war, was decided through “Operation Ajax”, in 1953. After all, why pursue further proxy entanglements with Vladimir Putin (VP? Putin), when endless war among proxy Islam, offers … so … much … more?

Acting as whores, for the British Oilmen, elements of the American CIA, kidnapped and forcibly removed, a Democratically-Elected, President of the Iranian People, “Mossadeq”.

Thereafter, the US installed Shah Pahlavi, a degenerate and murderer of the highest order and the US Government GAVE HIM A NUCLEAR REACTOR.

The cyber war, better-describes the Russians as victims and unintended recipients of the “Stux-Net Virus”, unilaterally unleashed upon the world by “Our Ally”?, in-and-around the time, American Senators invited the head Goon, NetanYaHoooo!, to defy American Solidarity, while Israel intentionally outed “Stux-Net”, in order to embroil the US in a shooting war, with Iran.

Rent Alex Gibney’s excellent: “Zero Days”.

THE RUSSIANS NEVER WROTE THE EMAILS. THE CORRUPT DNC, CLINTON AND THE POLITICIANS, DID…

Edward Snowden revealed it the intention of Clinton and Obama to hang a Marine Corps, 4-star, even as they fashioned the noose of his doom, by imposing their behavior, upon him. After Mr. Snowden, that wholly-jaundiced, choice was removed.

The answer is to “weaponize” the phony banking debts, by “monetizing” the phony, banker debts. The 1200 Trillion is presently, listed as “Assets” on the phony Bankers’ books.

It is absurd. The ehem, “Dollars”, are counterfeit.

Article 1, Section 8, makes zero allowance, “We The People”, must pay the criminal debts of a criminal parasite and imposter: the English-based, criminal, central banking cartel.

Article 1, Section 8, does, “… provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States;… “.

At the risk of repeating myself: 1200 Trillion owed to any number of frauds created to counterfeit phony, criminal, interests in US “Securities”, strips the banks and their corrupt political pals of any protections, whatsoever.

The MBS- “Mortgage-Backed Securities”, are wholly-fraudulent.

Investigate, prosecute and jail, these criminal Filth.

Don’t know why I didn’t see your comment, ’til now, Eddey. My point is: We The People own the Constitution. The Corruption and failure to hold our Oppressors responsible- bankers and the Corrupt DC Crowd- are also “owned”, by We The People. Fixing a problem begins with identifying that problem. Time will tell.

8200 square foot home. 8 bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms. You’d think some of those rooms are unused and thus could be used to house some poor homeless Syrian or Sub-Saharan refugees. What could possibly go wrong with bringing in a few orphans and widows?

Greetings,

This is a brilliant move. See, the Dems and the opposition fake news have been screaming for a full court investigation into the election and whether or not anyone “hacked” it. Well, it looks like they are going to get their investigation now except it will be against them.

Is this all the game they have? Pathetic really.

Why should he demand a do-nothing congressional probe when he has a DOJ that could do the job. Oh, I forgot. His AG would have to recuse himself. Fucking worthless asshole Sessions should be dumped. The reason the dems are attacking Sessions is probably just to make Trump want to hold onto him.

Sessions should have not recused himself. It’s the second chink in Trump’s armor (General Flynn was the first). The Dems would love to kill Trump by a thousand cuts.
