Obama appointees behind Russia hoax?

 DC Daily Journal:

According to reports, Department of Justice officials who remained in their posts after Barack Obama left office and Donald Trump rolled into town were intentionally scheming in lies to the court systems in order to spy on Congress-members during the peak of the Russiagate fiasco. A new report indicates that the DOJ likely intentionally engaged in noncompliance in order to reach a political end. That political end is up to anyone to imply, but let’s just say it certainly wasn’t to Donald Trump’s benefit.

In a disturbing revelation, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has been accused of employing deep state tactics to undermine Donald Trump by secretly surveilling elected officials, their staffers, and even journalists involved in the Trump-Russia investigation. According to a report from the DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG), DOJ personnel misled courts when applying for gag orders that effectively prevented dozens of lawmakers and Congressional staffers from knowing they were being spied on during the height of the Russiagate scandal.

Between 2017 and 2018, the DOJ conducted a sweeping surveillance operation targeting two members of Congress, 43 congressional staffers, and several reporters, all in an effort to trace the source of leaks about the Trump-Russia investigation. These efforts, which were more extensive than previously known, sought to monitor communications related to the investigation. In the process, the DOJ applied for and obtained 40 gag orders, officially called “non-disclosure orders” (NDOs), which prohibited third-party companies from notifying the targets that their information had been seized. Shockingly, the DOJ did not disclose to the courts that these orders were directed at lawmakers or their staffers, nor did they present any specific justification for these gag orders, relying instead on generic “boilerplate statements.”

The report reveals that some of the NDOs remained in effect for as long as four years. This blatant overreach by the DOJ not only infringed on the constitutional rights of lawmakers and their staff but also undermined the legitimacy of the legislative branch’s oversight of the executive. The OIG’s findings indicate that the DOJ’s actions created the “appearance of inappropriate interference by the executive branch” in the legislature’s constitutionally authorized duties.

The Russian Collusion Hoax targeting Trump was one of the biggest political frauds in US history and if Obama was responsible for it he should be held accountable.  It wasted millions of dollars and two years of valuable time of the Trump administration.  It was completely fraudulent.  Many in the media were complicit in this fraud.

Don't forget the media's complicity:

Leslie Stahl, the same woman who literally told President Trump that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation, and there is no proof of any corruption within the Biden family is very upset that nobody trusts the media anymore.

And then the first thing they do is blame
