DeepStateGate: Democrats’ ‘Russian Hacking’ Conspiracy Theory Backfires

Breitbart: Democrats’ efforts to raise suspicions about alleged — and, thus far, imaginary — links between President Donald Trump’s campaign and the Russian government may have backfired spectacularly.

The spotlight is now on President Barack Obama and his administration’s alleged surveillance of the Trump campaign, as well as his aides’ reported efforts to spread damaging information about Trump throughout government agencies to facilitate later investigations and, possibly, leaks to the media.

On Sunday morning, the White House released a statement indicating that the president would ask the congressional committees investigating Russian hacking theories to add the question of “whether executive branch investigative powers were abused in 2016.”

Media outlets continued to repeat that the story was based on “no evidence,” though the evidence was plain.

President Donald Trump originally tweeted about the alleged surveillance — which radio host Mark Levin called a “silent coup” by Obama staffers keen to undermine the new administration — on Saturday. Levin’s claims, reported at Breitbart News early Friday, were in turn based on information largely from mainstream outlets, including the New York Times and the Washington Post. Heat Street was one non-mainstream source, but the BBC also reported similar information in January. So, too, did the UK Guardian, which is a mainstream source (albeit with a decidedly left-wing slant, hardly favorable to Trump).

All day Saturday, former Obama staffers tried to put out the fires.  MORE

  1. One of the stupid things is that they seem to be parsing Trumps words over ‘wiretapping his phones.” Again they are taking him literally instead of seriously because wiretapping is a laymans term for spying/surveillance. So yeah maybe they didn’t bug his phone but they “bugged” everything else.

  2. Watching/listening to the Democrat media try to distance themselves from their own reporting and trying to deny they said what they said is just so hilarious — I’ve been chuckling all day today. One of the best tells is when a talking head starts talking about FISA process over any kind of substance. hahaahahah!!

    I’m not tired of winning yet!

  3. There’s a whole lot of buggering going on out there.

    What ever happened to the investigation of Obama being buggered by Reggie in the Oral Office, and many other places?

  4. The dumbocrats didn’t expect Trump to win and expose them for being the corrupt sleazeballs that they are. I’m glad Trump took Rush’s advice to go on the offense.

  5. This is all happening way early in Trump’s admin. I hope it doesn’t delay his 100 day plan. I think exposing the deep state and going after some of the bigger scandals was on the agenda, just not this soon. obama and his minions are going to be very sorry they pushed MY PRESIDENT this hard. Fools.

    No stain on a blue dress? Never happened 🙂

  8. AA, Trumps got to take out the trash before anything else gets done. With the overwhelming amount of evidence there is available it shouldn’t take long. Put Gowdy in charge and give him what ever he needs.

  9. Why wasn’t the media outraged over Obama trying to throw Israel’s election? So you just know he has bugged Israel’s priminister’s office. Obama has been meddling in everyone’s affairs and it’s time to bring it out into the full sunlight
