Charles Colson: "I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me."

Kevin Shipp and other retired top officials at the CIA, FBI, DOJ and NSA held a press conference and demanded Attorney General Jeff Sessions prosecute top Obama era officials for obvious crimes against the incoming Trump Administration

Former CIA Officer and whistleblower Kevin Shipp says what is going on with Donald J. Trump “is an ongoing coup to remove a duly elected President.” Shipp contends, “This is a huge constitutional crisis like the country has never seen before. This makes Watergate look like a Sunday school class.”

WATERGATE EVERY WEEK: USING THE FBI TO SUPPRESS A POLITICAL REVOLUTION

From Steele to Mueller, the cost of overturning the 2016 election.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical left and Islamic terrorism.

In the early seventies, political operatives disguised as delivery men broke into a Washington D.C. office. These efforts to spy on the political opposition would culminate in what we know as Watergate.

In the late teens, political operatives disguised as FBI agents, NSA personnel and other employees of the Federal government eavesdropped, harassed and raided the offices of the political opposition.

The raids of Michael Cohen’s hotel room, home and office are just this week’s Watergate.

We are now in the beginning phase of “OBAMAGATE.” This is our generation’s Watergate. Except far worse.

OBAMAGATE: What Did Obama Know and When Did He Know It?

An ancient Chinese philosopher once said, “May you live in interesting times.” Congratulations- we’ve hit the jackpot. 

We are now in the beginning phase of “OBAMAGATE.” This is our generation’s Watergate. Except far worse. 

Here’s a refresher course for those too young to remember. “Watergate” was the name for the biggest scandal in modern political history. Republican President Richard Nixon desperately wanted to know what Democrats were planning for their presidential campaign against him. So, he ordered a team of trusted aides to spy on the Democrats. They literally broke into the offices of the DNC (Democrat National Committee) inside the Watergate Building. That was the beginning of the end for Nixon. 

But today no one needs to physically break into an office to spy on their political rival. Today all you have to do is use the high tech electronic power of government. This is “the political weaponization of intelligence agencies.” A corrupt president can use the government to listen in on anyone, anytime.

When Donald Trump tweeted in March that Obama spied on him, the media and liberal critics went ballistic. CNN tweeted “Trump’s baseless wiretap claim” and “Trump just flat-out lied about wiretapping.” Well guess who was right? Trump- again.

According to multiple media reports out this week, the Obama administration spied on the Trump presidential campaign. They wiretapped Trump’s campaign manager Paul Manafort both before and after the election. It appears other top Trump aides were also wiretapped, as was Trump Tower. 

If these media reports are proven true, then the Obama administration was spying on the entire Trump campaign staff. Even if they were listening in on only Paul Manafort, who do you think Manafort was speaking to? Trump himself and every high-ranking member of Trump’s campaign staff. 

Which means while the government was supposedly listening for “criminal activity” they just happened to hear every plan of the Trump campaign…they just happened to know what would be in Trump’s speeches… they knew his line of attack versus Hillary…they knew his debate preparations…they knew everything Trump was planning before he did it. That’s some valuable inside information.

Obama just happened to pick the perfect guy to spy on- if he wanted to fix the election for Hillary.

Are you connecting the dots now? This was no coincidence. Obama and his socialist cabal made up a story of Russia collusion, to justify approval of FISA warrants from the court system, so they could spy on Trump.

It was the perfect crime- or so Obama thought. Because with all this inside information on the Trump campaign in the hands of Hillary and her campaign team, she couldn’t lose. The fix was in. Obama handed her the keys to the White House. 

And after her easy victory, Hillary would be in control of the DOJ. So, who would ever investigate or prosecute? The wolf would be in charge of the hen house. Obama was safe from prosecution. 

Except Trump ruined everything by winning a “fixed” election against all odds. And now Trump controls the DOJ. Trump can investigate and prosecute. OBAMAGATE is directly in Trump’s crosshairs. 

Does this OBAMAGATE gameplan sound familiar?

These are the same people who successfully “fixed” the primary for Hillary. They cheated Bernie Sanders. They even gave CNN’s presidential debate questions to Hillary in advance. 

These are the same people who used the power of the IRS to destroy Obama’s leading media critics (including yours truly); and slow Tea Party fundraising and activism to a trickle during the 2012 Obama re-election. Isn’t that an attempt to “fix” the election? 

These are the same people caught spying on journalists of Fox News, Associated Press and CBS’s Emmy Award-winning correspondent Sharyl Attkisson.

These are the same people who unmasked Trump advisors and transition officials. Samantha Powers was unmasking names at a speed unheard of in political history. 

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates have acknowledged they reviewed communications of political figures. You can bet all of them were Republicans.

U.S. Senator Rand Paul believes he and other GOP Presidential candidates were wiretapped.

Where does it go from here? Is it hard to believe that Supreme Court Justice Roberts was wiretapped while pondering how to vote on Obamacare?

Folks, this is OBAMAGATE. It makes Watergate look like child’s play. Lots of people are going to prison. The real question is…

“What did Obama himself know and when did he know it?”

Yes, this IS is like Watergate...on steroids!!

The thing to bear in mind is that the White House does not do investigations. Not criminal investigations, not intelligence investigations. Remember that.

HILLARY BOMBSHELL

Hillary Clinton fired for lies, unethical behavior

The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.

Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.

Why?

“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

United States v. Nixon

...the Supreme Court in United States v. Nixon (1974) held that executive privilege cannot be invoked at all if the purpose is to shield wrongdoing.

Heritage Foundation:
Fast And Furious: Executive Privilege Is Illegitimate to Shield Wrongdoing

...The history of executive–congressional relations is filled with accommodations and waivers of privilege. In contrast to voluntary waivers of privilege, Watergate demonstrates that wrongful invocations of privilege can seriously damage the office of the presidency when Congress and the courts impose new constraints on the President’s discretion or power (some rightful and some not).

But there is at least one helpful development in Holder’s request that the President invoke executive privilege to shield these documents: The President now owns the consequences of further stonewalling. There is no ongoing DOJ prosecution or investigation to protect. There is no obvious reason why the President can’t waive even what legitimately privileged documents there are (which is probably far fewer than the 1,300 pages being withheld).

The American people will now clearly understand that it is President Obama who doesn’t want them to know who is to blame for the Fast and Furious scandal—and whether his Administration has done anything to prevent it from happening again.

Is Media Matters Obama's Watergate?

A full, complete and thorough congressional investigation -- just as was done with the Senate Watergate Committee -- is in order. Will Harry Reid do this? Of course not. So the ball bounces to the House. And what will they be looking for? As with Nixon in Watergate, these congressional investigators will be looking for one, very simple thing -- a simple thing expressed in multiples of ways by multiples of people. That would be?
