RUSH: The original tweet where Donald Trump stated that Trump Tower was being surveilled, wiretapped and so forth by President Obama — with this Susan Rice stuff it’s beginning to look more and more like there is something to that. And Trump is, as time passes, generally proved correct in these allegations, predictions, accusations that he makes.
The Susan Rice story continues, it builds and so forth, and a lot of people are trying to make her actions criminal when they may not be per se. Clearly you have abuses of power here. And I must point out that my friend Andy McCarthy just published a post at National Review making this point. Now, that doesn’t mean that if, for example, she is called to testify before a committee or two or if she has to do an FBI interview — and she’s been there before — what if they could get her on a process crime? What if she has lied?
Look, this woman lies repeatedly. She lied to Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, or she lied to whoever she spoke to prior to Andrea Mitchell or she lied about Benghazi. The woman lies. The odds are if she testifies, she might make herself vulnerable to one of these famous Martha Stewart process crimes in which it would become criminal.
So it is clear that there is something highly irregular here. It is very clear that the Obama administration was surveilling the Trump people. It is very clear that the purpose of the surveillance was to undermine the Trump campaign. And then it becomes very clear that the purpose of the surveillance was to undermine the presidency once Trump won it. When I say “very clear,” I’m saying to me. I don’t have any doubts about what went on here, and I think it’s splitting hairs to say, “Well, they weren’t really targeting Trump officials.” How do you know?
Look, Obama owes electoral victories to this exact kind of thing. Look at all these sealed divorce decrees that Obama succeeded in getting unsealed about his opponents running for state senate and then United States senator. We know that Obama wiretapped and spied on Angela Merkel. We already know that this is a pattern of behavior by Obama and his presidency and his White House. read more
The question is ‘Who goes to jail, and when?’
Other than that, its just another day.
did holder go to jail?
neither will rice.
were all the obama golf games only cover to conduct covert business with out being able to be surveilled?
makes sense now, since he sucks at it.
Another reversal of fate for the lefties. Attack or accuse Trump and you take your chances of God smackin’ you upside the head. When they finally resort to their last strategy (open violence) then they will learn a lesson about karma.
Trump hasn’t been wrong about anything yet.
Democrats and RINOcrats…not so much.
Billy,
I have to agree. The Benghazi lie is worthy of God’s wrath of ironic circumstance.
“..and a lot of people are trying to make her actions criminal when they may not be per se. Clearly you have abuses of power here. And I must point out that my friend Andy McCarthy just published a post at National Review making this point.”
This is the constant drumbeat across all media, now. They’re setting us all up for a a big pffft! I say she did commit a crime, probably many crimes. Creating a dossier on political enemies, weaponizing the U.S. intelligence apparatus against Americans for the purpose of influencing and changing the outcome of elections cannot be considered merely bad ethics. The Russians got kicked out of the country and sanctions laid down over similarly purported stuff.
This weeks center ring attraction under the Big Top that is the DC Neverending Clown Fight.
Few new horses in the stable but the shit hasn’t been shoveled out of that place in, well, forever.
This was predictable as sunrise when you allow a government to grow like a malignant tumor.
Clintons, Holder, Comey, Kosigin (spelling not right), Lerner, VA, – EPA – IRS criminal abusers, Rice, Lynch, obama, etc, etc, & etc, still awaiting justice to catch, which will never come, courtesy of the complicit, compromised, and colluding, DC swamp inhabitants.
Probably my biggest frustration is the number of obama lackeys who are still swimming in the swamp!
Elites don’t go to jail; only Little People do. Trump knows that, since he himself is an Elite. Remember when he told Hillary during the debates that when he was President, she’d be in jail? You don’t hear that kind of talk anymore. Still waiting for that with bated breath, I am.

Unless we see some indictments and prison sentences for the highest-level communist/dnc lying criminal scum — obozo, jarrett, rice, lynch — the American public’s faith in government isn’t really going to increase much. Skepticism is off the charts and we watch repeatedly as liars like lerner, koskinen, clinton, Comey, Clapper, et al. go before congress and lie lie lie — and NOTHING EVER happens to them. Our government and our Congress is a joke. Does Trump want to drain the swamp, or not? If he does, he knows what he needs to do and boy is his work cut out for him. Mr Trump is a helluva business guy, negotiator, wheeler dealer, and oozes charisma. But this is a different matter. This is taking down megapowerful schittweasels that control the media and the government. It’s on a different level. I wish him luck
Someone needs to determine if Rice and/or Trump was in another State when some surveillance took place, and then was made available to ‘others’. Call up a Fed Grand Jury in that State (hopefully a red State) and then indict Rice. Tell her if she sings, she’ll get out of prison before she goes to the nursing home. See if that works.
The only reason we don’t have honest politicians is our failure to hang the dishonest politicians.
The big question, do we have enough rope for the job?
I haven’t heard anyone talking about spying technology that exists that is undetectable or nearly so. You think oprickface didn’t have access to the best technology on earth when he met regularly with tech ceo’s?
Trump can’t prove he was wiretapped if he didn’t have a sophisticated network that would have picked it up. We’ve been using such methods for years agains’t the russians, the chinese and others who didn’t even know we were listening. They do it to us too. Remember all the bugged embassies?
Hell yes Trump was spied on. We all are.
I’ll have an answer from Rice in 1 minute. Excuse me while I get my water board.
Trump needs to go on the offensive. The left is on the offensive 24/7 365 days/yr. they are relentless and always trying to move forward. Passiveness in the face of an enemy like this is deadly. Trump needs to go for the gold here and seek indictments of rice, jarret, lynch, hillary. he also needs to downsize all fed agencies and de fact clean out the communist rats that infect these places. That is the swamp. It is not going to get drained by pussyfooting around. You need to take out some of their leadership, and the foot soldiers. WAiting for something to happen means nothing will happen. if rice walks, that is just another step or two forward for the left. They are not going away, even if Trump is in power for 8 years. They have to be destroyed, waiting for them to behave or get with the program will not work. They are entrenching as we speak. The republicans need to learn how to play offense and go down the field and stick the ball in the end zone. The only thing they knew how to play under the dumbasses Bush mcconnell ryan mccain was pocket pool. What pathetic pussies this lot is, and it’s why the left has gone so far. No more. They need some Dirty Harry Rambo Terminator types to step up and put an end to things.
