There is a large storm brewing over Washington, DC right now – a storm that could dwarf anything ever seen in recent times. It is growing stronger by the hour as new information is being disclosed that strongly suggests that it is possible, even likely, that Obama and his Department of Justice maliciously and criminally misused the FISA process to collect intelligence on Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump. Additionally, Obama personally relaxed the limitations on how such information collected could be disseminated in the weeks before leaving office.
The political ramifications from this, if proved correct, could be unprecedented in scope. Once fully exposed, it would explain the curious actions of Obama as he prepared to vacate the White House. It would also explain, in context, the actions and statements of not only Barack Hussein Obama, but others in key positions of power including Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, John Brennan, and others within the media.
At issue is Obama’s insistence to secure a federal wiretap warrant of Donald J. Trump, the candidate, using the federal court system as the mechanism to do so. The ostensible probable cause was alleged ties between Donald J. Trump and/or his associates with Russia.
The first warrant application was made in June 2016, according to reports published by The New York Times and elsewhere, but was rejected due to the lack of probable cause of criminal activity.
When the request was denied in regular federal court, Obama and his Justice Department attempted an “end around” by citing the existence of a “foreign actor” and made a similar surveillance warrant application through the more specialized Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court in October of 2016. According to published reports, that warrant application was rejected as well, a rare occurrence in the FISA venue, which strengthens claims that no evidence of any foreign involvement ever existed. It has been reported that the initial warrant application to the FISA court specifically named Donald J. Trump.
It is also relevant to note here that this is the type of activity that led to the creation of the infamous “Wall” that was referenced after the 9/11 attacks. Its relevance to this specific instance is explained well by former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy in this January 11, 2017 column.
Apparently undeterred, the Obama Justice Department submitted yet another application to the FISA court, this time omitting the name of Donald J. Trump and submitting it as a FISA specific case. The FISA court reportedly approved the application under the new and more narrow scope. Specifically, ties to two Russian banks: Russia’s SV bank and Alfa Bank. The alleged target was a computer server reportedly situated inside the Trump Tower.
Based on the lack of action consequential to that warrant and wiretap, it has been stated (and can be reasonably determined) that no actionable evidence was found.
Shortly before leaving office, Obama expanded the power of the National Security Agency (NSA) as detailed in the unclassified document titled Procedures for the Availability or Dissemination of Raw Signals Intelligence Information by the National Security Agency (NSA). As detailed in that document, limitations were changed on what the NSA could do with the information they collected through their surveillance operations. These changes effectively relaxed the restrictions on the dissemination of information collected on private citizens by broadening the access to such information.
It is also notable that on January 3, 2017, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch signed off on rule changes for phone taps.
It appears that President Trump has been provided the evidence of a paper trail leading to a FISA court that substantiates his assertions that Barack Hussein Obama, working in concert with others including those wielding the full might and power of various federal agencies, improperly obtained authorization to eavesdrop on the Trump campaign under the pretense of a national security investigation, and continued such monitoring beyond its tenuous scope even when no evidence of wrongdoing was found.
This is as serious as it gets.

The following is a cursory investigative summary that explains the significance of the email “scandal” that erupted right before the 2016 election and how the Obama Department of Justice under Loretta Lynch worked in conjunction with the Hillary Clinton campaign to obstruct justice.
It is submitted as a foundation for forthcoming documentation that will detail extensive criminal corruption, the scope of which is breathtaking and a threat to our national security by the Hillary Clinton State Department and the Obama White House.
What follows is a brief glimpse into a murky and crowded swamp of criminality that involves personal enrichment through weapons trafficking and the methods to hide the criminal behavior of those involved. It includes the use of the Department of State, the Department of Justice, the Executive branch, and the Clinton Foundation, along with many co-conspirators in government and the media.
Testifying under oath before Congress in 2013, Hillary Clinton stated that she knew nothing about the weapons shipments from Libya and Qatar to Syria. Thanks to the release of John Podesta emails and other documents by Wikileaks, it is now beyond any reasonable doubt that she lied. Her actions resulted in not only the deaths of four Americans, including a U.S. ambassador in the September 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi, but the deaths of countless innocent people due to the destabilization of the Middle East.
Equally disgusting is that she and others used her position as U.S. Secretary of State, serving from January 21, 2009 through February 1, 2013 for personal enrichment through the Clinton Foundation, and again lied about it despite the revelations by Wikileaks.
Hillary Clinton not only lied under oath about the arms shipments, with a large number of those weapons coming into possession of ISIS as well as anti-Assad terrorists, but also lied to the American people about the attack at Benghazi, her emails, and many other related matters. This particular area of the swamp is not only deep, but crowded as well.
Under Hillary Clinton’s leadership, the U.S. Department of State approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations (from October 2010-September 2012), representing almost twice the amount approved by the State Department under the second term of George W. Bush for the same time period. It seems hardly a coincidence that each government benefactor of those arms sales gave money to the Clinton Foundation.
Under Clinton’s leadership, an additional $151 billion of separate Pentagon-brokered deals to 16 countries was authorized. Again, all 16 countries donated to the Clinton Foundation. Compared to a similar period under Bush, this denotes a 143 percent increase of arms sales to Clinton Foundation donors.
It is important to note that federal law prohibits foreign governments seeking clearance through the U.S. State Department to buy U.S. arms from making campaign contributions. This prohibition was designed to prevent foreign interests and governments from using cash to influence national security policy.
Nothing, however, prevents such foreign interests from contributing to a philanthropic foundation. Enter the Clinton Foundation.
The Clinton emails (those deleted and archived outside of investigative purview), the Podesta emails released by Wikileaks, and other relevant documents provide prima facie evidence of personal enrichment by Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and others through arms sales to prohibited countries—including and especially ISIS. They also provide documentation of evidence tampering and obstruction of justice, and provide insight into the individuals and groups involved.
The emails are alleged to include other criminal activities as well, although these activities will be addressed separately for both clarity and brevity.
Many within the U.S. government as well as the media have misrepresented the importance of the emails, from those on Clinton’s private server to those found on the laptop of Anthony Weiner/Huma Abedin. Understanding the mishandling of the Weiner/Abedin emails by the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI and others will provide insight into how the investigation was hijacked and diverted from within.
The criminal hubris of the Obama regime and the Clinton criminal cabal is unparalleled in American history.
The Hillary Clinton emails, the Anthony Weiner emails, the infamous Comey letters, the Department of Justice obstruction of justice by Loretta Lynch, Huma Abedin, and many others, along with the media manipulation are all incestuously related in this vast criminal enterprise.
A large alligator in the murky swamp of criminal corruption is John Podesta. Wikileaks began releasing the emails of John Podesta on October 7, 2016 and continues to date, bringing the total upwards of 70,000 emails and related email chains.
Podesta is a long-term associate of the Clintons and was President Bill Clinton’s Chief of Staff from 1998 until 2001, and served as counsel to Barack Obama. He and his brother Tony own the Podesta Group (a large DC lobbying firm). He is also the chairman of the Center for American Progress (CAP), a Washington DC-based think tank, and perhaps most importantly, served as Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman.
When the news broke that some 650,000 emails were found on the laptop of disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner, husband of Hillary Clinton’s closest aide Huma Abedin, Loretta Lynch immediately began to mitigate any potential damage by assigning Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik to lead the investigation into those emails.
Her choice could not be a more blatant conflict of interest. Peter Kadzik has been a good friend of John Podesta since their days at Georgetown Law School. In fact, many emails between Podesta and Kadzik were among those released by Wikileaks, and were also alleged to be on the Weiner/Abedin laptop. In one of the Wikileaks emails, it was John Podesta who described Kadzik as a “fantastic lawyer who kept me out of jail.” Kadzik’s son also emailed John Podesta, asking for a job on the Clinton campaign.
Peter Kadzik also represented Podesta during the Monica Lewinsky investigation. Perhaps most telling of all is the role Peter Kadzik played in the controversial Clinton pardon of fugitive Marc Rich, who is best known for founding the commodities company Glencore, being indicted in the U.S. on federal charges of tax evasion and illegally making oil deals with Iran during the Iran hostage crisis.
Interestingly, it was Rudy Giuliani who built the case against Rich. Another familiar name, James Comey, the current FBI Director eventually took over the pardon investigation. Rich ultimately received a pardon from President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001, his last day in office.
The pardon did not come without a price, however. Denise Rich, the wife of Marc Rich, gave more than $1 million to the Democratic Party, including more than $100,000 to Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign.
In short, Loretta Lynch appointed a suspect of the email investigation to take the lead for the Department of Justice in that very investigation. This alone should clearly reveal that the motives of the Justice Department, presumably acting at the direction of the Obama White House, were never to conduct an honest investigation, but to stop any honest investigation from the start.
Considering that Kadzik was both a suspect and the lead investigator of the latest email “scandal,” and given the fact that Kadzik represented both Podesta and Marc Rich, the motivation behind the peculiarly timed release of the Marc Rich records to the FBI online archive might be better understood.
As briefly explained here, the vast Clinton criminal cabal is well entrenched and extends far back into the Clinton White House and Hillary Clinton’s tenure as a U.S. Senator. It expanded through the Clinton Foundation and during her tenure as Secretary of State. It involves the heads of state of other countries, as well as leaders within our own.
Understanding this will provide the necessary context to understand the importance of everything from the Clinton emails, the Arab Spring, the attacks in Benghazi, and the obstruction of justice as evidence of criminality, and why it is unlikely that Clinton and her close associates will go away quietly.
A war is being waged between those attempting to expose the criminality of the globalists, and those attempting to not just engage in a massive cover-up, but maintain power. The battle is raging. It is a very dangerous time in America.

It was odd from the start. On Monday, June 27, 2016, Loretta Lynch, the current Attorney General of the United States, arrived at the executive terminal area of the Phoenix Harbor airport in her aircraft. She was accompanied by her husband and select staff members and had a full schedule for the day.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton was already in Phoenix. His plane was parked at the same executive terminal area and was scheduled to depart, ideally for security purposes, before Lynch’s arrival. The Clinton and Lynch planes were separated by about 75 yards of hot tarmac, their respective security details, and members of the press.
For the most part, the FBI was in charge of handling security for the Attorney General, while the Secret Service oversaw the Clinton protective detail. Overlapping elements of both details were aware of the potential security and congestion issues, so it was their intent to get Clinton in the air before Lynch’s arrival. Thanks primarily to Bill Clinton’s serendipitously late arrival to his plane, that did not happen.
What happened next could well be a scene from The Godfather, although the footage would likely be found on the cutting room floor for lack of believability. But this is real life in the world of the Clinton criminal cabal, so it cannot be so easily excised like a bad cinematic scene. It’s an in-your-face move by the capo famiglia of the globalist cabal of criminals that exudes untouchability. The laws don’t apply to them, for they not only know where the proverbial bodies are buried, they had them buried.
Lynch is a product of the Clinton Presidency. She was nominated by Clinton himself to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York in 1999, and is serving as the 83rd and current Attorney General of the United States, nominated by the Renegade-in-Chief, Barack Hussein Obama in November of 2014, replacing Eric Himpton Holder, Jr., yet another Clinton appointee for U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
As the U.S. Attorney General, Loretta Lynch ultimately decides who to prosecute in criminal cases investigated by federal law enforcement. Currently, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton and her husband, William Jefferson Clinton have been and currently are the targets of a number of criminal cases, particularly related to the Clinton e-mail morass and the vast empire of criminal complexities created by the Clinton Foundation.
The breathtaking brazenness of Bill Clinton is difficult to fathom for law-abiding American citizens. If it were one of the Proletariat in what has been transformed into a dictatorship by Fabian Socialists, Marxists and Communists inside of the government, three hots and a cot would be the next leg of the journey. In what we’ve allowed ourselves to become, however, the meeting between an investigative target, or at the very least a material witness in a national criminal case, is being treated as a mere social faux pas. It was not a social misstep, but an overt criminal act that should be considered a slap across the face to every federal law enforcement agent working on the active Clinton cases.
The meeting between Clinton and Lynch should be viewed by anyone with properly-firing synapses as the ultimate act of hubris by the ruling class. That the media dutifully complied with FBI orders to not video or record the event further illustrates their complicity. It shows that the First Amendment is indeed on life-support, which explains why the Second Amendment is not far behind. Happy Independence Day.
That elected leaders occupying positions of judicial oversight have yet to step in and demand immediate action against Clinton and sanctions against Lynch tell us much of what we already know. We have been captured from within, and are being programmed to love and embrace our servitude. Again, Happy Independence Day. Fire up those grills and oh yes, ignore the barbed wire being stretched around you.
While pundits across America continue to address meaningless minutiae of the meet-up to avoid losing their access to the power elite, the bigger picture of the lawlessness of the Clintons, their associates and soldiers is deliberately hidden from public view. Pseudo-conservatives and denizens of the right side of the political divide continue their compromise, for want of a seat at the globalist table is too great. They have sold their souls to the devil who has convinced the masses that he does not exist. They have placed themselves on equal footing with the enemy, while entertaining the masses with a dog-and-pony show of endless hearings and committees that ultimately lead nowhere. Benghazi. Fast and Furious. The list goes on.
This weekend, we Americans are preparing to celebrate our independence from the oppression by the ruling elite of Britain. The year, of course, was 1776, when men were men and women were women, when insane questions about which was which were non-existent. God, guns and guts ruled the day. Our sense of morality was strong and tolerance for subjugation was thin. Political impropriety, or even the appearance of it, was met harshly by leaders with respect for law and fear of the almighty God of the Holy Bible. Our founders put their lives on the line to save future generations from the oppressive tyrannical rule that so many people embrace today. While not perfect, they considered more than themselves.
America has changed more over the last 240 years than Bruce Jenner has changed in the last 24 months. We’ve lost our moral compass. We’re back to the oppressive subjugation of a tyrannical system of government and the exits ramps to regain the freedom we once had through peaceable means are quickly closing.
The hubris of the global elite and their facilitators must be met with greater force in the political arena. Absent of that, our choices will grow fewer and less palatable with each passing day.
To allow the political tryst between Clinton and Lynch to go uninvestigated, unpunished and to be noted as a mere footnote in politics as usual is to admit that we, as a nation, have failed in maintaining our Republic.
Contrary to popular belief, change will not come from the top down, but must come from the bottom up. It is up to us, not a Presidential hopeful, who must act to save ourselves from total tyranny, and awaken others who are entranced by a Stockholm Syndrome induced by an illogical adherence to a false political paradigm.
Who will step up and be the modern founders of the Republic of our forefathers? Anyone?
