She makes a very compelling, step-by-step case. I cannot post the entire article, but you can read what I do not post, and there is a video of the ENTIRE INTERVIEW at the link.
Sorry it was not all in text, which I much prefer...but CHECK IT OUT.
She is very thorough.
To say that it is disturbing, is a major understatement...especially when you factor in the FACT that the Clinton Campaign, which spent $MLLIONS to contact the Russians for "dirt" on Trump, somehow, didn't need the same "protection from the Russians" as the Trump campaign allegedly did, despite NO EVIDENCE ANYWHERE, of their APPROACHING THE RUSSIANS FOR ANYTHING.
Quite the opposite...they were APPROACHED BY RUSSIANS, at least one of whom was abetted by the Obama DOJ, and initiated a meeting at Trump Tower, after conferring with Fusion GPS founder Simpson = SET UP.
Sharyl Atkisson on Spygate: Sure looks like FBI's operation against Trump was political
Tuesday, we broke down how based on publicly disclosed information, it is a logical and reasonable conclusion that politics played a major role in the origins of the FBI’s counterintelligence operation involving the Trump campaign and alleged connections with the Russian government.
Wednesday, investigative reporter Sharyl Atkisson amplified this idea at The Hill and laid out a devastating case:
(T)here’s a growing appearance of alleged wrongdoing equally as insidious, if not more so, because it implies widespread misuse of America’s intelligence and law enforcement apparatus.
Atkisson lays out eight major indications that the operation was directed at Trump, not the Kremlin, and was politically motivated.
Her observations include the plethora of wiretaps:
Secret surveillance was conducted on no fewer than seven Trump associates: chief strategist Stephen Bannon; lawyer Michael Cohen; national security adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn; adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner; campaign chairman Paul Manafort; and campaign foreign policy advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos.
The extraordinary use of National Security Letters:
Improper use of such letters has been an ongoing theme at the FBI. Reviews by the Department of Justice’s Inspector General found widespread misuse under Mueller — who was then FBI director — and said officials failed to report instances of abuses as required.
The ubiquitous and insidious use of media leaks to help drive and shape the news narrative surrounding the investigation:
A few of the notable leaks include word that Flynn was wiretapped, the anti-Trump “Steele dossier” of political opposition research, then-FBI Director James Comey briefing Trump on it, private Comey conversations with Trump, Comey’s memos recording those conversations and criticizing Trump, the subpoena of Trump’s personal bank records (which proved false) and Flynn planning to testify against Trump (which also proved to be false).
