President Trump retweeted a link about a Wall Street Journal op-ed saying the Obama administration must account for "Abuse of surveillance powers." "Time to investigate the Obama officials who concocted and spread the Russian conspiracy hoax!" Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., tweeted.
How Obama's team targeted Trump The Russia investigation did not come from nothing, of course.
This Russian activity prompted President Obama to tell Vladimir Putin personally to "Cut it out" or face "Serious consequences." And the FBI gave the Trump campaign a standard counterintelligence briefing on the possibility of foreign interference in the summer of 2016, multiple government sources told NBC News and CNN.Yet Obama officials also treated Trump campaign staffers as targets themselves.
Last September, President Trump instructed the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Justice immediately to declassify materials related to the Russia investigation, including "All text messages without redaction" of James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr, as well as documents concerning the warrant application under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for Trump adviser Carter Page.Democrats objected that declassifying text messages regarding the Russia investigation will compromise FBI "Sources and methods," and the move was delayed after "Key allies" objected.
Many revelations from this investigation to date have given dramatic weight to the idea that the FBI and intelligence community were engaged in an effort to derail the 2016 Trump presidential campaign and later to use an "Insurance policy" to subvert the Trump presidency.
Trump should declassify these secretsLast August, former CIA Director John Brennan on Meet the Press called President Trump's behavior "Treasonous, which is to betray one's trust and to aiding and abet the enemy, and I stand very much by that claim." Now he contritely admits that he might have relied on "Bad information." But Brennan was at the center of the collusion myth from the beginning.
Obama administration officials compiled a list of the key classified documents from this investigation after the 2016 election out of fear that the incoming Trump team would destroy them, according to The New York Times.
