发帖数: 4002 | 1 White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer ripped into the media on Friday for
continuing to ask questions about a connection between the Trump campaign
and Russia, noting that there’s been no evidence of that.
“Everyone who’s been briefed on this subject, from Republican to Democrat
to CIA — former Obama administration’s [Director of National Intelligence
James] Clapper, [CIA Director John] Brennan, you name it — all of the
people come back with the same conclusion…that there’s been no evidence,”
he said at the White House press briefing.
Spicer said if anyone was trying to engage with Russia, it was Hillary
Clinton.
“It was Hillary Clinton, who was the architect of the last administration’
s failed reset policy — she told Russian state TV that it was designed to
strengthen Russia. That was their goal: to strengthen Russia,” he said.
“She used her office to make concession after concession, selling off one-
fifth of our country’s uranium, paid speeches, paid deals, getting personal
calls from Vladimir Putin. I think if there’s — really want to talk about
a Russian connection and the substance, that’s where we should be looking,
” he added.
Spicer was referring to how in 2010, then-Secretary of State Clinton was one
of nine to sign off on Russia’s purchase of a controlling stake in Uranium
One, an international mining company headquartered in Canada. Around the
same time, a Russian investment bank paid Bill Clinton $500,000 to give a
speech.
“When you talk about connections to Russia, the only connection that anyone
’s made with President Trump is multiple years ago he hosted a pageant
there and he’s — some of the — you know, he owns condos around the world
and some of them were sold to some Russians and I think he sold a house to
one several years back. That’s his connection,” he said.
“So when you compare the two sides in terms of who’s actually engaging
with Russia, trying to strengthen them, trying to act with them, trying to
interact with them, it is night and day between our actions and her actions,
” he said. “And yet no one questioned what she was doing or how she was
handling it.”
Clapper told NBC News on March 5 that no evidence existed that showed any
collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. | r******g
发帖数: 4002 | 2 More and more reports are coming out that show the Obama administration had
surveilled the Trump campaign, the White House said Friday.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer highlighted two during the White
House press briefing.
One was an interview on March 2, in which former Obama administration
official Evelyn Farkas described to MSNBC how she urged former colleagues in
government to save and spread as much information on Russia as they could
before Trump came into office.
Farkas said, according to an exact transcript of the interview:
I was urging my former colleagues and — and frankly speaking, people on the
Hill — it was more actually aimed at telling the Hill people, ‘Get as
much information as you can, get as much intelligence as you can, before
President Obama leaves the administration,’ because I had a fear that
somehow that information would disappear with the senior people who left, so
it would be hidden away, in the bureaucracy, that the Trump folks, if they
found out how we knew what we knew about their — the staff, the Trump staff
’s dealing with Russians, that they would try to compromise those sources
and methods, meaning we would no longer have access to that intelligence, so
I became very worried because not enough was coming out into the open and I
knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence on Russia. So then
I had talked to some of my former colleagues and I knew that they were
trying to also help get information to the Hill. That’s why you have the
leaking. People are worried.
Spicer said that interview “raised serious concerns on whether or not there
was an organized and widespread effort by the Obama administration to use
and leak highly sensitive intelligence information for political purposes.”
Separately, Spicer pointed to an NBC News report on Friday that appeared to
corroborate Farkas’s comments.
It said Obama administration officials were so concerned about what would
happen to key classified documents related to a probe into Russian
interference in the elections once Trump took office that they created a
list of document serial numbers to give to senior members of the Senate
Intelligence Committee.
A former Obama official told NBC News that the list was created in early
January and that he “hand-carried it” to committee members. He said the
purpose was to make it “harder to bury” the information, to “share it
with those on the Hill who could lawfully see the documents,” and to make
sure it could reside in an intelligence committee safe, “not just at
Langley” — the CIA’s headquarters.
“Dr. Farkas’s admissions alone are devastating,” Spicer said.
Critics of the administration have pointed out on social media that Farkas
left the administration in September 2015, but the concern is not whether
she herself tried to save and spread intelligence, but that she was urging
some of her former colleagues still in the administration to do so, and knew
of some who “were trying to also help get information to the Hill.”
Farkas has also been described as a Hillary Clinton campaign adviser,
including in a March 2017 New Yorker report.
During the briefing Spicer also suggested that administration officials may
have more evidence to back up Farkas’s account—as well as Trump’s
assertion that his campaign was being spied on by the Obama administration—
that they intended to share with congressional leaders.
Spicer said the White House had invited House Intelligence Chairman Devin
Nunes (R-CA) and ranking member Adam Schiff (D-WA) to the White House on
Friday. Schiff was later seen entering the White House.
“There is a — there is a concern that people misused, mishandled,
misdirected classified information, leaked it out, spread it out, violated
civil liberties. And the potential that that should — that that happened
should concern every single American,” Spicer said.
“Day by day, more and more, we are seeing that the substance of what we’ve
been talking about continues to move exactly in the direction the president
spoke about in terms of surveillance that occurred. And that should be very
troubling,” he said. | j*********r

发帖数: 4002 | 4 What is with this curious — now deafening — silence from former President
Barack Obama on these charges that his administration spied on a political
opponent at the very height of a presidential campaign?
Since President Trump first leveled the incendiary charges in early March,
there have been thousands of press articles and endless hours of speculation
on cable television about the high-level accusations.
Every word, character, and symbol of punctuation from Mr. Trump has been
parsed and sussed and diagrammed.
Yet, from media darling Barack Obama (about whom the accusations were made!)
? Not a peep.
This is no small thing we are talking about here. We are talking about a
sitting president’s administration using the terrifying powers of espionage
of the United States government to conduct an intelligence operation
against a political opponent before, during and after that target was
elected president of the United States.
So much for “peaceful transfer of power.”
This would be 10 times more serious than Watergate. We are talking a
constitutional crisis the likes of which we have never seen in modern times.
And all anybody around here seems to want to talk about is the exhaustively
investigated — yet still unsubstantiated — conspiracy theories about Mr.
Trump’s supposed ties to Russia.
Well, what about Mr. Obama? Did he actually morph into Russian President
Vladimir Putin himself? Did he turn the White House into the Kremlin?
Those are much graver charges than whether somebody has “ties” to the
Russians. And so many of the questions about Mr. Obama’s involvement in
spying on his political enemy remain unanswered.
Actually, they remain unasked at this point.
And before you dismiss these questions as crazy tweets from a crazy dictator
, remember that Mr. Trump’s national security adviser was fired after he
was — indisputably — wiretapped and unmasked during the time he was
serving on Mr. Trump’s transition team. This alone would be utterly
unbelievable in a world before Oliver Stone’s movie “Snowden.”
So, what say you, Mr. Obama?
Crickets.
The only statement from Mr. Obama was a carefully worded non-denial issued
by a spokesman.
“A cardinal rule of the Obama Administration was that no White House
official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the
Department of Justice,” the statement began.
This would seem to merely confirm that Mr. Trump was being investigated by
the Obama Administration — but that Mr. Obama’s fingerprints would not be
found anywhere on that investigation.
And, yes, this is the same corrupt administration that featured the attorney
general meeting in a private plane on a tarmac with the husband of the
woman who was supposed to be Mr. Obama’s successor — while she was under
investigation by the FBI.
The Obama spokesman’s statement went on to say: “As part of that practice,
neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered
surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”
Here again, they are playing a silly game. Instead of answering the real
question, they are hiding behind the loose and imprecise language of Mr.
Trump’s tweet where he shorthands the whole accusation in less than 140
digits by saying “Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower.”
Any logical human knows what Mr. Trump meant by this. I don’t think any
serious person actually thought Mr. Obama himself in a hard hat and work
gloves with wire snips was in the walls at Trump Tower twisting wires
together.
Obviously, Mr. Trump meant that he and his campaign and transition team had
been spied upon by U.S. intelligence services at the behest of — or with
knowledge of — the sitting U.S. president.
Monumental charges. Yet no denial from the former president.
On Mr. Obama’s Twitter feed, he has opined about Chuck Berry, International
Women’s Day and even Valentine’s Day. But not a peep about the serious
charges lodged against him.
This, at a time when we are told that Mr. Obama plans to lead the political
resistance against Mr. Trump. He should begin by “resisting” these charges
