This is just a long line of illegal behavior by the Obama administration to weaponize federal agencies for political purposes.

Just off the top of my head they weaponized the ATF in Fast in Furious gun running. They weaponized the State Department in Benghazi to cover up weapons transfers to terrorists. They weaponized the IRS against Tea Party non-profit groups. And now they weaponized practically all of the IC except Mike Rogers and the NSA against team Trump. They have some really bad people in the Obama administration.

Rexcatur is amazing to watch twist and shape any narrative no matter how damming to his cause.

You have the scandal of the century here. One side (Hillary and the DNC) creating "evidence": The Dossier, Veselnitskaya, Misfud, Nellie Ohr, etc... out of thin air, and you have the other side (The Obama DOJ) investigating this "evidence" as a real crime - and leveraging the spying against their political enemies via media leaks.

Its repulsively un-American.

It’s not an obtrusive method of gathering info by investigators. Honeypot is not the right term to use here btw.

Which again, begs the question of why the left is so upset if they believe Russia somehow is manipulating our system?

I mean, the left WANTS the Soviet system. Who better to help that along!

I believe what Rush just said about this story. It's the New York Times attempt to justify the FBI's spying as a legitimate attempt to twart Russian election interference.
This will be their go to position on anything else that comes out about this travesty.

Everyone should have been frightened by the United States government's interference. Russia hasn't done even close to shite by comparison.

And, he avoids probably the point more salient than the spying.

The fact that all the spying turned up zero, zilch, nada, in the area that supposedly was the reason we needed a SC in the first place.

The entire foundation for the investigation that Trump supposedly obstructed was already known to be false when the fricking SC STARTED!

Yeah. Honestly. Next to our own Intel agency actions, the Russians were fricking children.

FBI sent honeypot 


I just have 2 questions:

1) Does "honeypot" mean she's young and hot?

2) If the answer to 1) is "Yes," when can we expect to see some photos?


Asking for a friend.

Would anyone like to demonstrate how this wasn’t allowed under AG Guidelines?

So this is a great story and all, but now what? If the general public doesn't give a shite, enough to demand justice, nothing will happen.

Illegally spying on a Presidential campaign is under AG guidelines?

Interesting
