You’d think after the election cycle that the Dems would be
content to stall the GOP/Trump agenda by whatever legal means necessary, right?
Unfortunately, it is becoming clear that the Soros/Obama and
probably Clinton faction of the Dems have become so unhinged for losing to
President Trump that between November 8, 2016 and Inauguration Day January 20,
2017; the Leftist Moonbats conspired a shadow government disruption of the
Trump Administration.
So, the question every American that honors America’s
Founding Documents should be, “WHY?”

Dear Friend of America’s Survival:
Eminating [sic] from the “deep state,” another “scandal” has
been created. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has just held a news conference.
It is much ado about nothing.
This will never end until and unless Trump cleans house. DRAIN
THE SWAMP
INVESTIGATE THE LEAKS!!!
My new column, The
“Alternative Government” Vs. Trump, identifies the person in
the press getting the leaks. START WITH HIM!!! He is a mouthpiece for the
CIA.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes and
Ranking Member Schiff have approved the Scope of Investigation for
the inquiry by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence into the
Russian active measures campaign targeting the 2016 U.S. election.
One of the issues is: What possible leaks of classified
information took place related to the Intelligence Community Assessment of
these matters?
There is an easy way to answer this: subpoena the Post
columnist getting the leaks. We know who he is. Read my column.
Do you believe in elected constitutional government? Or
should the “deep state” run our affairs as a nation?
A great conservative lawyer, Larry Klayman, has described in
detail what the “alternative government” is doing to the Trump Administration.
My new column, The “Alternative
Government” Vs. Trump, explains the stakes.

The “Alternative Government” Vs. Trump
By Cliff Kincaid
March 2, 2017
President Trump gave a good speech on Tuesday night, but his
presidency is still hanging by a thread. Attorney Larry Klayman says an
“alternative government” in the intelligence community continues to target him.
“These intelligence agencies are more powerful than the president himself,”
Klayman said on
the Fox Business Network. “They have the ability to blackmail people in this
administration to the point that the American people’s interests are going to
be subverted.”
Klayman, the founder of Freedom Watch, said, “How can he
[President Trump] represent the interests of the American people when he knows
the NSA is likely wiretapping everything he says with foreign leaders and
everyone else?”
It may seem like ancient history, but the media used to be
concerned about surveillance of American citizens by U.S. intelligence and law
enforcement agencies. After President Trump was elected, such concern suddenly
disappeared. In fact, the media became the recipients of illegal leaks of
private conversations by Trump administration officials. One such leak forced
the resignation of national security adviser Michael T. Flynn.
Claude Barfield, a resident scholar at the American
Enterprise Institute (AEI), writes that
there was nothing improper with U.S. intelligence surveillance of phone calls
to and from the Russian ambassador. However, in regard to Flynn, existing law
does not permit the NSA or FBI to “listen to the communications of Americans
who may be caught in…eavesdropping.”
The allegation that Flynn violated “the ancient 18th century
Logan Act that forbids diplomatic activity by private U.S. citizens is no
longer relevant, according to almost all legal experts,” notes Barfield. So the
wiretaps could not be justified on that flimsy basis.
Flynn was forced out on the equally spurious grounds that he
forgot to tell Vice President Mike Pence about elements of the conversations he
had with the Russian official.
Barfield says that “a criminal—and certainly civil
rights—violation did occur with the public leaks of the details of his
conversations with the foreign ambassador from someone (or some persons) in the
intelligence community.” The leak violated the Espionage Act, which makes
intentional disclosure of classified “communications intelligence activities” a
felony. What’s more, citing Timothy H. Edgar of Brown University, it is also a
crime for national security officials “to leverage legitimate foreign
intelligence collection to reveal public information in order to damage [an]
individual they do not believe should serve.”
It is well-known that Flynn’s appointment as national
security adviser was opposed by elements in the intelligence community,
especially the CIA.
Edgar writes that
“Flynn himself may be the first victim of civil liberties abuse during the
Trump administration.” He says, “If officials had concerns about Flynn, the law
requires they lodge those complaints through the system and not through leaks.”
This means that some intelligence officials viewed Flynn as
a threat and wanted him out, using any means possible.
Edgar suggests that Flynn call the ACLU for legal help, but
a far better course of action would be to call litigator Larry Klayman, who
says it’s clear that “the NSA is spying on the President, his White House, and
the administration in general.”
Klayman believes that “loyalists to former President Barack
Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, and their leftist comrades” are behind the
illegal surveillance.
Former Congressman Pete Hoekstra (R-MI) told Newsmax
TV that the NSA “can collect on the Russian embassy, no problem,” but that
“when they collect on an American, whether it’s here in the United States or
when we collect inadvertently on an American overseas, that information
immediately should be what we call minimized. The name should be taken away.”
“Hoekstra explained that a court order must be granted in
order to receive permission to release the name of any American captured by the
NSA’s spying techniques,” the Newsmax story said.
Rather than be minimized or eliminated, the name was
illegally leaked to Washington Post columnist David Ignatius. We discussed this
sequence of events in the column, “Why the CIA Wants to
Destroy Flynn.” Ignatius quoted “a
senior U.S. government official” as the source of the information about Flynn.
During his appearance on the Fox Business Channel, Klayman discussed this
illegal surveillance and offered to represent Flynn in a legal action. He
repeated his claim that the intelligence community was engaged in illegal
surveillance not only of Flynn but of other Trump officials, including the
President himself.
Klayman has asked for an emergency hearing on this matter
from Judge Richard Leon, who had previously ruled in Klayman’s favor in a
lawsuit against NSA surveillance. He said the evidence suggests the existence
of an “alternative government,” based in the intelligence community, which is
more powerful than elected officials.
On the same program, a clip was played of Rep. Devin Nunes
(R-CA), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, saying that the Flynn
case represented an abuse of authority. He said that Flynn had his telephone
call listened to by the government and leaked to the press, and that if this
had happened to a member of the Obama administration, “you can imagine the
Democrats in the House and Senate would be going crazy…”
Nunes said that, in order for the intelligence community to
listen to an American such as Flynn, a special warrant is required. “I am quite
sure this wasn’t done in this case,” he said.
The Washington Monthly, a liberal publication, published a story by
Martin Longman that began, “When it comes to Washington Post columnist David
Ignatius, I have long seen him as an informal member of the intelligence
community who often acts as their mouthpiece.” Longman concluded that “the
intelligence community took down Flynn…”
The official bio for
Ignatius mentions that he covered the CIA when he worked for The Wall Street
Journal.
At the Post, Ignatius has expressed concern about
whether Obama CIA director John Brennan’s “modernization” of the agency will
survive Trump. “After interviewing several dozen CIA officers and veterans over
the past several months,” Ignatius wrote, “my conclusion is that Brennan’s
reforms should continue…”
Based on stories like this, it would appear that Ignatius is
more than willing, even anxious, to advertise his CIA connections.
Any investigation of what Trump calls “illegal leaks” should
begin with him.

TRUMP TWEETS HIS OUTRAGE OVER OBAMA WIRE TAPPING TRUMP
TOWER DURING CAMPAIGN
MARCH 4, 2017
In a possible reaction to a Breitbart
story published yesterday, in which writer, Joel Pollak,
detailed Mark Levin’s analysis of ten ways the Obama administration tried to
undermine the presidential campaign and administration of Donald Trump.
Breitbart offers:
1. June 2016: FISA request. The
Obama administration files a request with
the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to monitor
communications involving Donald Trump and several advisers. The request,
uncharacteristically, is denied.
…
4. October: FISA
request. The Obama administration submits a new, narrow request
to the FISA court, now focused on a computer server in Trump Tower suspected of
links to Russian banks. No evidence is found — but the wiretaps continue,
ostensibly for national security reasons, Andrew McCarthy at National
Review later notes. The
Obama administration is now monitoring an opposing presidential campaign using
the high-tech surveillance powers of the federal intelligence services.
The article sums up the ten actions, Levin says, should be
the target of a Congressional investigation:
In summary: the Obama
administration sought, and eventually obtained, authorization to eavesdrop on
the Trump campaign; continued monitoring the Trump team even when no evidence
of wrongdoing was found; then relaxed the NSA rules to allow evidence to be
shared widely within the government, virtually ensuring that the information,
including the conversations of private citizens, would be leaked to the media.
In response, President Trump began tweeting for all to see.
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in
Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
__
Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race
for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!
--
I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the
fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to
Election!
--
How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during
the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

TRUMP TWEETS HIS OUTRAGE
OVER OBAMA WIRE TAPPING TRUMP TOWER DURING CAMPAIGN
The minutemen were among the
first people to fight in the American Revolution; their teams constituted about
a quarter of the entire militia. Generally younger and more mobile, they served
as part of a network for early response. They provided a highly mobile, rapidly
deployed force that allowed the colonies to respond immediately to war threats,
hence the name.
The term has also been
applied to various later United States civilian-based military forces to recall
the success and patriotism of the originals.
MinutemenNews.com honors the
