To anyone paying attention, the fact that our national media has for months known about the Obama administration’s use of America’s intelligence infrastructure as a means to politically spy on President Trump and his team, is painfully obvious. Moreover, the fact that the media then lied about being aware of this spying after Trump called attention to it on March 4, is even more obvious. And when our media is not lying about what they know, they dishonestly hide behind semantics, even though the most recent definition of “wiretapping” (from no less than MIT) perfectly describes what the Obama administration is guilty of.
Now comes the news we all knew the MSM was sitting on and covering up; news that guerilla journalist and Trump supporter Mike Cernovich was the first to break. News that one of the few remaining honest members of our rotting MSM, Bloomberg’s Eli Lake, broke wide open. News that the bête noire of the elite media, Fox News, contributed substantially to.
Of course I am talking about the bombshell that President Obama’s national security advisor and right-hand woman, Susan Rice, went on an “unmasking” frenzy as a means to unethically spy on Trump and his team.
Forget about the media leaks of this intelligence, which no one disputes are criminal, and which almost certainly came from the Obama White House. According to Bloomberg (and Fox News), most of Rice’s unmasking had absolutely nothing to do with Russia. Using intercepted (if you believe that — and I do not) recordings/transcripts of telephone conversations, we now know the Obama White House had access to and abused…
…intelligence reports [that] were summaries of monitored conversations – primarily between foreign officials [not just Russia] discussing the Trump transition, but also in some cases direct contact between members of the Trump team and monitored foreign officials. One U.S. official familiar with the reports said they contained valuable political information on the Trump transition such as whom the Trump team was meeting, the views of Trump associates on foreign policy matters and plans for the incoming administration.
You would have to split a hair into tenths to not describe that as wiretapping.
In other words, this was political spying, a means to get an illegal look at the other side’s playbook, which could then — thanks to a willing, eager and dishonest media — be used to damage a duly elected president’s agenda through felonious leaks.
This is the stuff of Banana Republics, and perfectly in keeping with an administration that weaponized its IRS against the Tea Party and its Department of Justice against Obama’s own bootlickers in the media.
And to no one’s surprise, the national media is STILL covering up to protect their Precious Barry…
CNN’s home page – no Susan Rice headline.
CNN’s politics home page – no Susan Rice headline.
CNN’s ‘The Lead with Jake Tapper’ home page – no Susan Rice headline.
NBC’s First Read home page – no Susan Rice headline.
NBC’s ‘Meet the Press Daily’ home page – no Susan Rice headline.
NBC home page – no Susan Rice headline.
Washington Post home page – no mention of Susan Rice.
Politico home page – no Susan Rice headline.
ABC News home page – no Susan Rice headline.
New York Times home page – no Susan Rice headline.
Los Angeles Times home page – no Susan Rice headline.
Right now, in a hollowed-out volcano, the entire national media is coordinating a scheme to dismiss the Rice story, to make it go away, to destroy its credibility… Although these outlets are supposed to compete with one another, that has never been the case. Instead, they all plot as a means to push a unified left-wing Narrative.
And until they can figure out the best way to neutralize this bombshell, for right now at least, the media believes the safest thing is to keep this truth as far away from the public as possible.
Buried under this headline, “Trump Tries to Deflect Russia Scrutiny, Citing ‘Crooked Scheme’ by Obama,” this morning, The New York Times floated a trial balloon.
The Times claims Rice did nothing wrong, that her unmasking was “normal and justified.”
Not only is this laughable on its face, The Times also fails to address the inconvenient fact that just a few days ago, Rice lied about her role in the unmasking.
If Rice did nothing wrong, why did she lie?
And what did Barry know, and when did he know it?
The Obama administration monitored Trump for a full year. The Obama administration illegally leaked this material to the MSM. For 7 months now the MSM has engaged in a feeding frenzy utilizing thousands of partisan journalists… And still there is not a single speck of proof the Trump administration did anything wrong with respect to Russia.
Thank God for New Media, for without it, we would not know the Truth about anything in this country.
