“Spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” Attorney General William Barr told a Senate committee on Wednesday morning. Barr’s comments came in the context of potential Justice Department reviews of the Trump-Russia investigation and how it began in 2016. While it is important that the top law enforcement in the United States publicly acknowledged that the Obama administration and its intelligence agencies surveilled its domestic political opponents during the heat of a presidential election, it is what he said next that was most startling: that the CIA and other federal agencies

Worse Than Watergate begins...
and this time, the Woodwards and Bernsteins are part of the illegal coverup.

“Spying on a political campaign is a big deal”
Well, yes. And one would think, given those extreme and dangerous waters, that the agencies would make SURE their ducks were all in a row before proceeding; getting clear buy-in and working with oversight bodies to make sure they did things correctly.
Instead, they proceeded in amateurish ways, and proceeded like children KNOWING they were behaving badly and trying to avoid being caught.
Except, they needed to brag to their friends to make this work. So they ran to their friends in Congress; Reid, McCain, etc. and friends in the government; the state department, and other agencies; and they all went directly and indirectly to the media to leak a flood of lies, all of it ILLEGALLY.
It seemed like information was pouring in from EVERYWHERE, but it was ALL from the same source with NO validity to be found ANYWHERE.
The plan was, like recalcitrant children, not to be held accountable but like those difficult children, their actions became rather obvious.
This attack on a presidential candidate was a CONSPIRACY. It involved the "Intelligence" organizations, the DOJ, the FBI, the State department, foreign operatives, the DNC, Hillary´s campaign, probably many senior dems, McCain and perhaps other RINOs, and possibly many others including BO´s White House and maybe BO himself. It was massive.
The attack was illegal. There was NO verifiable foundation for the spying and they KNEW it. They faked up the ridiculous "validation" they used, the dossier.
The leaking of an investigation was illegal.
They grossly abused their authority and acted as a criminal organization.
I wonder if this could be treated as a RICO violation? Obstruction of justice is a qualifying trigger.

Excellent, #1 and #2.....well said. Hoping to see some indictments. Two years lost in bringing this forward with Jeff Sessions as AG. My question, was Jeff Sessions part of this conspiracy?

It is sad that all this has been know for at least a year and not a single criminal indictment has been filed. Government by and for the government.

They believed they would never get caught, because Hillary Clinton was certain to win the election.

I think they believed PDJ would resign because of “the seriousness of the charge.”

Unlike HRC and BHO, the American people just want justice not revenge. I pray that we get it for the sake of the Republic. This coup will remain as an elephant in the room if these people are not indicted, arrested and jailed. The democrats have destroyed the trust the American people had in their government and for that they should pay a high price. Justice must be done in order to right this wrong. I pray that there are men and women of integrity who love this country and will not rest until the American people are satisfied with the result.

I´ve posted this previous if Barr goes for the middle level of seditious traitors like the Ohrs, Comey, Brennen, Clapper and others all roads will lead to Clinton and Obama. Starting at the top and working down is not the way.
Once any of these bad actors is ´pinched´ they might just start singing to make a deal with Barr´s investigators.

Yes, a good report by a good reporter.
FTA:
"This is a scandal of epic proportions. It is one that threatens the foundations of constitutional government. It is a direct attack on American democracy."
Yes, this has been known for over a year to those following The Conservative Treehouse, and other serious investigations like John Solomon and Sara Carter, largely publicized on Sean Hannity on Fox.
Now, we need to get down to the business of cleaning house, indicting, convicting and imprisoning at least 10 to 15 of the top people now or formerly at the FBI, CIA, DoJ and State Dept. The Obama administration was fundamentally corrupt, top to bottom.
