Trump Accuses Obama Of “Treason”

Authored by Paul Bedard via WashingtonExaminer.com,

President Trump has ratcheted up his claim that the Obama White House spied on his 2016 campaign, charging in a new book that it was a “treasonous” act by the former Democratic president.

“What they did was treasonous, OK? It was treasonous,” he told author Doug Wead for his upcoming book, “Inside Trump’s White House: The Real Story of His Presidency.”

“The interesting thing out of all of this is that we caught them spying on the election. They were spying on my campaign. So you know? What is that all about?” said Trump.

“I have never ever said this, but truth is, they got caught spying. They were spying,” said Trump who then added, “Obama.”

President Trump (seated) meets with Doug Wead in the Oval Office of the White House. Wead provided the photo to Secrets.

In 2017, Trump tweeted that he felt the Obama White House “had my wires tapped” in Trump Tower. He later said he didn’t mean it literally but that he felt his campaign was being spied on.

Attorney General William Barr earlier this year said he was looking into whether “improper surveillance” may have occurred in 2016.

I think spying did occur,” he said.

He has tasked a prosecutor to look into Obama officials and other officials who sparked the Russia collusion investigation into Trump after a report showed no collusion. New reports on that investigation described it as “criminal” in nature.

“It turned out I was right. By the way,” Trump told Wead in excerpts provided to Secrets.

“In fact, what I said was peanuts compared to what they did. They were spying on my campaign. They got caught and they said, ‘Oh we were not spying. It was actually an investigation.’ Can you imagine an administration investigating its political opponents?” said the president.

In the book, Trump said that the Russia investigation undercut his presidency.

Anybody else would be unable to function under the kind of pressure and distraction I had. They couldn’t get anything done. No other president should ever have to go through this. But understand, there was no collusion. They would have had to make something up,” he said.

Treason?
The definition of treason per US law:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Doesn’t matter, nothing will ever happen to Obama, Clintons, Comey, et al. The deep state they are and the deep state bureaucrats will protect them.

It seems to me that the key piece of evidence is the $10,000 dollars in cash that Papodoklus left with an attorney.

Protocol for the FBI would have been for the Bills to be marked.

So the Deep State will use it as exculpatory evidence of themselves if they weren’t.

But then again. How would they even know $10,000 existed?

And what were the the FBI looking for at JFK airport?

This is the type of evidence that is damaging to the NPC.

Charles Tawil a CIA asset was the person who pushed the $10K on George. The hope being he would violate the disclosure rules and not declare the cash on the way into the US. When he did not even bring the cash they Feds flipped out and arrested him. Idiots.

Unfortunately, George did lie to the FBI during the process and served his 14 days….but he was never charged with any crime that was committed prior to being arrested. Carter Page was never charged with anything despite being accused of being as Russian spy for the FISA warrants….hmmmmm…

So the whole project was fraudulent and entrapment and the FISA warrants being inappropriately obtained were simply a means to an end of accessing all the Trump communications hoping to find something incriminating.

Since Obama was signing off on all of this activity….I am not sure it is technically “treason” (though I consider the Deep State an occupying foreign power)….but he certainly broke any number of Federal laws…..all felonies.

Which gets to the heart of the matter: Men are not meant to be trusted for life. Abolish the CIA and FBI. Just about every sovereign high crime in this country can be traced back to a conspiracy within these two dens of vipers.

We are fast approaching the time where it will be necessary to SHUN every employee or contractor of these organizations in our daily lives, just to send a message.

Reposting the below because you are up to your eyeballs in raw sewage.

22,

Flynn is a PATRIOT. I don’t give two rips about what his religion, color, or creed are. Neither should anyone who believes in arriving at the LCD — the lowest common denominator. If I had my way, I’d promote him to chief over all mil intel and indict everyone who framed him. Furthermore, they would be asset-stripped to their shorts or panties in order to make him whole again.

FURTHER FURTHERMORE, the sovereign immunity of the King’s Court MUST be abolished. Period. Any prosecutor who is found to be in dereliction of their legal duties should be tried, and if found guilty, hanged for high crimes.

interesting theory,we’ll see–
imo,no dem could win in 2020 w/o some massive event occurring,for the dems it will be about having a candidate who will not turn off their base b/c if they don’t come out to vote 4 potus they won’t be voting in down ballot races either,hence why biden was their preferred candidate–

The Magic Muslim Halfrican was a plant, a contrivance, a creation. He sprang from obscurity with not one but two autobiographies already written about a life that wasn’t really what it claimed to be. He agreed to play the part of the liberal ‘black’ president and in exchange he was given a bucket and allowed to dip deep and often from the money river. What is the money river? According to Vonnegut it is a river and a place where:

“It’s still possible for an American to make a fortune on his own.”

—provided somebody tells him when he’s young enough that there is a Money River, that there’s nothing fair about it, that he had damn well better forget about hard work and the merit system and honesty and all that crap, and get to where the river is. ‘Go where the rich and powerful are,’ I’d tell him, ‘and learn their ways. They can be flattered and they can be scared. Please them enormously or scare them enormously, and one moonless night they will put their fingers to their lips, warning you not to make a sound. And they will lead you through the dark to the widest, deepest river of wealth ever known to man. You’ll be shown your place on the riverbank, and handed a bucket all your own. Slurp as much as you want, but try to keep the racket of your slurping down. A poor man might hear.’
