Why did Obama team spy on Trump’s staff if they didn’t expect him to win?

I’m seeing a lot of posts that Obama’s staff and intelligence teams were scrambling to cover up what they did once Trump won. And it’s obvious that’s exactly what happened.

But if they didn’t expect Trump to win, why the frick would they go through all of this trouble?

What was the end game of these investigations had Hillary won?

It would never come to light if Hillary won.

They went into full surveillance mode after he won but before he was inaugurated. They wanted fuel to fan the flames until the next election. Muh Russians and all.

Because they could.

And because they’d been abusing the intelligence community for political oppo research for 8 years.

Like Peter said, an insurance policy for worst case scenario. They never thought Trump would push them this far and get to the bottom of this treason.

Yes yes but WHY? No one knew this sham investigation was ongoing before the election so it wasn’t going to help Hillary.

Was the IC wiretapping Trump pre-election to help Hillary and they needed a reason, post-election, for those wiretaps?

Trump is a pundit at heart, they were going to ruin him to shut him up after she won

It was the insurance policy

Remember the bitter 08 primary between Obama and Hillary. They never liked her. She was thrown a bone as a consolation prize. They knew how beatable she was. This was a CYA operation to preserve Hussein’s legacy.

Not to mention the stage was set to try to void the election and BHO stay in office until they created a favorable outcome

They had to make sure that no outsider ever even tried to run for President again.

They were spying on everybody in the GOP field. At least the ones they were worried about.

I have little doubt they spied on Romney in 2012.

To resist, undermine and delegitimize his Presidency, in case he won. You don’t have an insurance policy knowing that something is going to happen, you have it in case it does.

They were going to punish Trump and make an example our of him to anyone else who was thinking about running who wasn’t in their political club. It’s all about power and who has it, the political class or the people

War with Russia so China could clean up the scraps left over and the DS would rule the world unhindered by anyone or any thing.

Do you remember Killary talking about how Russia messing with our elections was an act of war?

Do you remember all the politicians passing laws and restrictions on companies in the USA? These were designed to for companies overseas... CHINA!!!

Do you find it odd that so many businesses and politicians have connections to China!

Do you find it odd that certain software companies will help the china gov't but will not help the USA?

Do you find it odd that a certain female congress woman believe she was Chinese in a past life?

Do you find it odd the timing of the release of the coronavirus?

Do you find it odd that so many dem. governors have taken your constitutional rights from you?

They HATE YOUR GUTS! They WANT YOU DEAD!

Why does bill gates want to reduce the world population to a fraction of what it is now? Do you find it odd that this bastard is so involved in SAVING the worlds population with vaccines he basically develops. Does he want you dead or alive? Quite the conflict or interest.

Their plan was for Her to win and none of this would ever be mentioned again, except maybe when promotion time rolled around. If Trump won they’d just try to get him out using endless efforts and resources to impeach him. And here we are.
