Mueller was unable to make a determination on whether to pursue charges for obstruction of justice and conspiracy to suborn perjury because ... wait for it.... Trump is the sitting president and the OLC guidance made it futile. |
What does that have to do with whether Stone or Flynn conspired (as PP asserts above)? |
Meanwhile there was ZERO unmasking requests of Flynn until weeks after the 12/29/16 call. McCabe testified the FBI had the call the day it was made. The Presidental Daily Briefing Staff asked McCabe for the call on January 4th, the day before the famous oval office meeting and 2 days before the Trump Tower pee briefing |
Spying in Obama administration's Treasury?

I wonder if it is because of the ties to organized crime? This new watch list would cover that: https://www.newsweek.com/trumps-secret-new-watchlist-lets-his-administration-track-americans-without-needing-warrant-1504772 |
Patently false. The requests disclosed by Grennell posted earlier in this thread showed the calls requested had nothing to do with Russia/Kislyak, and most likely more to do with Israel, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, given the requesters. |
They weren't spying on those individuals. They were following illegal and suspicious money transfers, that happened to be those individuals, once unmasked. Ask yourself, why were those people involved in illegal money transfers, some with sanctioned states? |
Woohoo! Burning down national security issues! Buncha amateurs. |
Some of that was detailed in Manafort's charging documents. |
If they were, DOJ would have had to given approval for the info to be accessed. It wasn't, hence the WB complaint. |
That's not how it works. |
How many foreign governments was Flynn working for?! |
They would have had to get approval, either through a Title III warrant or a FISA warrant. Neither was applied for or granted. My question, why didn't the Treasury IG act on the whistleblower complaint? |
Turkey Israel Saudi Arabia Russia There may be others, those are the ones I have seen claimed. |
