Obama's Denial of Trump Wiretaps Not Credible!

Federal Judge Leon Asked to Step In!

By Larry Klayman, Chairman and General Counsel
Freedom Watch
March 5, 2017

The newest revelations that the Obama administration wiretapped, that is "bugged," the president and all of his men in the lead up and after the November 8, 2017, elections are not surprising. In this regard, for over 2 years the highest levels of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been secretly investigating the "harvesting" of highly confidential information including financial records of the chief justice of the Supreme Court, other justices, over 156 judges, prominent businessmen like Donald Trump, and public activists like me.

In this regard, a whistleblower named Dennis Montgomery, a former NSA/CIA contractor, came forward to FBI Director Comey with 47 hard drives and over 600 million pages of largely classified information, under grants of use and derivative use immunity, which I obtained for him with the U.S Attorney for the District of Columbia. Later, Montgomery, who suffers from a potentially fatal brain aneurism, testified under oath, for over 2 ½ hours before FBI Special Agents Walter Giardina and William Barnett in a secure room at the FBI's field office in Washington, D.C. The testimony was under oath and videotaped and I have reminded the FBI recently to preserve this evidence.

I have also met on several occasions with the staff of Chairman Bob Goodlatte of the House Judiciary Committee, since judges have been illegally surveilled, and asked them to inquire of FBI Director Comey and his General Counsel James Baker why their Montgomery investigation has appeared to have been "buried" for the last few years. They have done so, but as yet have not received, to the best of my knowledge, a clear response.

In addition I have gone back to one of the few intellectually honest judges on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (nearly all of the rest, save for another great judge Royce C. Lamberth, are politically biased appointees of either Presidents Clinton or Obama), and asked him to move forward to trial with the cases which I filed in 2013 against Obama and his intelligence agencies over the mass spying of hundreds of millions of Americans. Not coincidentally, before Edward Snowden revealed this unconstitutional conduct by the National Security Agency (NSA), which then was run under the direction of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), James Clapper, Clapper lied under oath to Congress, denying that this illegal surveillance was occurring under his watch. That he was never prosecuted for perjury at a minimum, not to mention that it is a crime to wiretap innocent Americans without "probable cause," is a testament to the reality that official Washington is afraid of the intelligence agencies, knowing that they can dig up "dirt" to destroy their political and personal lives. Indeed, this may help explain Chief Justice Roberts' inexplicable last minute flip on the Obamacare case before SCOTUS. What, for instance, did Clapper and the NSA/CIA have on Roberts that may have "convinced" him to rubber stamp President Barack Obama's unconstitutional Affordable Care Act.

Judge Leon, in the course of my cases before him (see www.freedomwatchusa.org), has already issued two preliminary injunction rulings ordering that the illegal mass surveillance cease and desist. He termed this unconstitutional violation of our Fourth Amendment, "almost Orwellian," a reference to George Orwell's prophetic book "1984" about "Big Brother." Judge Leon's rulings then prompted Congress to amend the Patriot Act and call them the USA Freedom Act, which sought to leave telephonic metadata in the hands of the telephone providers, like Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T, until a warrant was obtained showing probable cause that a target or subjects communications with terrorists or a crime was being committed.

It now appears that the Obama intelligence agencies, as I predicted to Judge Leon, have again ignored and flouted the law, and at the direction of the former president Obama and/or his men like Clapper illegally spied on targets or subjects like Mr. Trump and his associates, including Gen. Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser. This is why I have pushed Judge Leon to move my cases along to trial, and have offered to bring Montgomery forth to be interviewed by the judge in camera in the interim, as he has a security clearance to probe Montgomery about classified information which I cannot and have not accessed.

Legally speaking, my cases against the intelligence agencies also encompass the illegal surveillance of President Trump and his men, as what apparently occurred shows a pattern of unconstitutional conduct that at trial would raise a strong evidentiary inference that this illegal behavior continues to occur. Our so-called government, represented by dishonest Obama loyal attorneys in the corrupted Federal Programs Branch of the Justice Department, continues to maintain that they cannot for national security reasons confirm or deny the mass surveillance against me or anyone else. I have asked Judge Leon to enter a permanent injunction against Obama and his political hacks at the NSA and CIA, many of whom are still there and are bent on destroying the Trump presidency and attempting to blackmail prominent Americans, like me, who might challenge the destructive socialist/pro-Muslim agenda of the Obama-Clinton-Soros left.

My legal efforts to use the uncompromised court of Judge Leon to get to the truth about and issue orders remedying, and later monitoring the unconstitutional Fourth Amendment violations of Obama and his henchmen like Clapper, is of crucial importance. Congressional investigations as President Trump's White House requested Sunday, are likely to result in yet another cover-up. Appearances by so-called prominent Republicans like Marco Rubio and others on the talk shows Sunday do not inspire confidence, as Rubio and company on the Senate Intelligence Committee harbor animus to Trump, the president having vanquished the Republican establishment during last fall's primary season. And, even when it was shown that DNI Clapper had lied under oath to their committee, they, as usual, did nothing!

Trey Gowdy's thoughts: No evidence Obama wiretapped Trump Tower

By Al Weaver (@alweaver22) • 3/6/17 11:12 AM

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said Monday that he has not seen any evidence that the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Tower, but that President Trump will have access to any documents on the matter because wiretapping creates a paper trail.

"No, sir," Gowdy told Fox News' Bill Hemmer when asked if he has seen evidence to back up Trump's accusation. "I don't think the FBI is the Obama team and I don't think the men and women who are career prosecutors at DOJ belong to any team other than a blindfolded woman holding a set of scales.

"We have certain tools that this country needs to keep us safe, and it is great and wise and prudent and legal for those tools to be used lawfully and appropriately," Gowdy said. "If they're not used lawfully and appropriately, there is a paper trail and we'll be able to find it out."

The South Carolina Republican said it is "hard to cross-examine tweets," a reference to Trump's Saturday morning messages in which he raised the issue, compared it to the Watergate scandal and called former President Obama a "sick" guy.

Gowdy added that the Trump administration and the Department of Justice will have access to the pertinent documents if either an intelligence or criminal inquiry was launched under Obama.

"The Obama team is no longer in charge," he said. "So any information the current Department of Justice has that suggests the previous Department of Justice acted inappropriately, they are welcome to release it."

Hello Slat, hope you're doing well. Do you know,has there ever been a time when an x president was attacked in such a way? It is really too much at this point. Trump calling Obama sick...Oh brother

I'm sorry to hear that. I have trusted Trey Gowdy as long as I have known who he is. I disagree with him, but that isn't the reason I am now disappointed in him. I'm disappointed in him because he sounds as though the rats have gotten to him and threatened him, and shut him up. Trey had to deal with the FBI on other issues, and he KNEW there was illegal activity going on and he was stopped from doing anything about it. He provided too many sugary praises of the FBI in this article and doesn't SOUND like Gowdy, and this all after he had to break Comey. Comey is either crooked or working secretly and Gowdy felt he had to protect him. Your article doesn't convince me at all. It IS possible the FBI/Comey has turned honest, but I'd have to see it with my own eyes to believe it.

The article you provided may be right, but there is no more reason to believe it than there is reason to believe my post.

I can certainly understand and appreciate your response and can't, with any certainty, say that Mr. Klayman is in error. Who knows? However, I will admit to being surprised by Gowdy's comments. I posted the article primarily in rebuttal to your opening comments. Since both have long been considered stalwarts of the right, I found it curious and interesting that there seems to be such a gap in their opinions. Simply honest discourse, my friend and native Texan.

I don't know who Al Weaver is. Does he write for a conservative or a progressive site?

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

I really don't know, as I had never heard of him. When I Goggled him, the name only turned up as a British actor. I doubt that he is the one who wrote the article, but perhaps you can have better luck.

P.S. I took the article from the Washington Examiner. I am not familiar with the paper.

Upon later, further research, I found this....www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Washington_Examiner

'The Washington Examiner's editorial page is heavily conservative; it is headed by Mark Tapscott, with American Spectator senior editor Quin Hillyer serving as its associate editor. The paper's national political coverage, which also appears in Examiner papers in Baltimore and San Francisco, was previously headed by Bill Sammon, a former Washington Times reporter who has written several books praising George W. Bush. Sammon is now the deputy managing editor for Fox News Channel's Washington bureau. Chris Stirewalt, who has been described as "a true conservative voice", is the Examiner's political editor. Mary Katherine Ham, former managing editor of the conservative Townhall.com, briefly served as the Examiner's online editor for a few months in 2008 before joining the Weekly Standard. Matthew Sheffield, executive editor of the Media Research Center blog NewsBusters, is in charge of the Examiner's website. Byron York, formerly of National Review, joined the paper in February 2009.'

BTW, Tasine, your response on your last post to me came through as ;-). I don't know what that represents.

Gowdy's setting a trap. Have you noticed how President Trump has been running things. Deception, lead with the left and smash with the right. Deception. Mike
