Obviously, that was illegal, but it seems as if Democrats are not required to abide by laws.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The US Intelligence Community asked foreign spy agencies to<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/02\/13\/rep-jordan-durham-filing-shows-trump-was-right-about-spying\/\">\u00a0surveil 26 associates of Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0in the run-up to the 2016 election, which triggered the allegations that the former president\u2019s campaign had been colluding with Russia, according to a report.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Former CIA Director John Brennan identified and presented the targets to the US\u2019s intelligence-sharing partners in the so-called \u201cFive Eyes\u201d agencies \u2013 the intelligence-gathering organizations in the US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand \u2013 according to a report published Monday on Michael Shellenberger\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/public.substack.com\/p\/cia-had-foreign-allies-spy-on-trump?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email\">\u00a0Public Substack<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The report by independent journalists Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag has not been confirmed by The Post.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>They cite multiple unnamed sources, including ones close to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, led by Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/01\/29\/fbi-lawyer-who-doctored-carter-page-email-gets-probation\/\">sentenced to probation in 2021<\/a>\u00a0after admitting that he falsified an e-mail to renew a wiretap against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u200b\u200bPage had been wiretapped after intelligence sources suspected he might have been targeted by Russian spies. The wiretap, which was approved by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, was renewed several times after it was first granted.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Last March, Special Counsel John Durham concluded that the FBI investigation of Trump\u2019s alleged collusion with Russia was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/05\/15\/fbi-doj-failed-to-observe-fidelity-to-the-law-in-trump-russia-investigation-durham\/\">\u201cseriously flawed\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and had no basis in evidence, after a four-year review of the probe.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>In response, the FBI said it had \u201cimplemented dozens of corrective actions\u201d since the improper Trump probe and that \u201cthe missteps identified in the report could have been prevented\u201d had the reforms been in place in 2016.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>In 2022, Taibbi and Shellenberger were involved in the publishing of the Twitter Files expose, which detailed how the social media giant\u2019s previous management team sought to silence controversial voices and suppress news items such as The Post\u2019s reporting on Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you really believe all necessary corrective actions have been taken? What if there is more to this than meets the eye? What if documents detailing exactly who was involved in this illegal activity exist and the FBI does not know where they are? Would they logically be at Mar-a-Lago or in President Trump&#8217;s possession? Is it possible that was what the raid at Mar-a-Lago was really about since other Presidents have never been treated that way?<\/p>\n<p>President Trump is a smart man. I suspect (and I would also suggest that the parties who broke the law spying suspect) that somewhere in a very secret place the documents showing the abuse of our justice system are in President Trump&#8217;s possession. I also think that those who engaged in the illegal spying will be brought to justice if President Trump is re-elected. That is why the deep state is working so hard to prevent President Trump from being our next President.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you don&#8217;t have your conspiracy hat on, you are probably going to need it for this article.
