President Trump said on Twitter and in public statements that he will officially demand the Department of Justice to investigate whether or not his campaign was illegally surveilled for political purposed.
Talk about a long overdue call.
I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes – and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!

Trump has been saying since early 2017 he had word his campaign had been spied upon by Barack Obama-tied forces — and for that, he was roundly and soundly mocked, by political foe and friend alike.
Fast-forward to today and it seems, once again, Trump is being proven right. His latest is to demand a formal federal investigation that will once and for all put the matter to rest.
If the FBI or DOJ was infiltrating a campaign for the benefit of another campaign, that is a really big deal. Only the release or review of documents that the House Intelligence Committee (also, Senate Judiciary) is asking for can give the conclusive answers. Drain the Swamp!

Wait for it; wait for it. The left is about to go crazier than even usual.
From Yahoo!:
US President Donald Trump sharpened Sunday his accusations that his presidential campaign was “infiltrated” or spied on for political purposes, saying he would officially “demand” a Justice Department investigation.
The president has repeatedly cast the probe led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and possible collusion by his campaign as a politically driven “witch hunt,” while offering no evidence.
“I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes,” he tweeted, “and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!”
Trump’s angry tweet came amid building pressure from the year-old investigation and reports that the Federal Bureau of Investigation in July 2016 sent a Britain-based American professor to speak separately with three Trump campaign advisers.
A New York Times report described the professor as “an informant” but not a spy, saying the federal agency was looking into evidence that Carter Page, Sam Clovis and George Papadopoulos had suspicious contacts with Russia.
The Washington Post called him “a longtime US intelligence source,” used by both the FBI and the CIA.
But Trump and his supporters have cast the man as a mole possibly sent by the Obama administration to burrow into his campaign. “If so, this is bigger than Watergate!” Trump tweeted on Thursday.
While Trump allies in Congress have demanded more information about the informant, law enforcement officials have refused, saying the source — not yet officially identified — could be in danger if named.
Democrats say the president’s real objective is to undermine the Mueller inquiry.
Trump lawyer Rudolph Giuliani, a former Justice Department prosecutor and assistant attorney general, told CNN on Friday that it was not clear whether an FBI informant had been embedded in the campaign, while adding that the spy agency “should tell us if there was.”

I like Ed Rollins idea of how to clean everything up. He says we should dismantle the scandal, criminal ridden FBI. Give all the work to the US Marshals….who have a 200 year history of no scandal. Let all the good rank and file of the FBI apply at the Marshals to work there……problem solved.

This corrupt deep state swamp is powerfull, yes.
But now we have the chance to see it public that all “deplorables” ( another word for “victim” ? ) are just wanted as slaves for their ideology.
As Europäen I know that UK, Germany, Belgium etc are problem childs. The corrupt swamp try´s, but they dont can sweep this problems under the carpet anymore.
Let´s solve this problem and let´s the criminals be the victims. There is a chance now, thanks to the 2016 election in the USA. GOD´s love have give us this chance. And I´m sure we will take it. There are more people with wish for freedom then ar*eholes who sells humans to the devil for personel profit.

Pompeo’s speech on Iran today 5-21-2018
These 12 demands replace the JCPOA, direct quotes from Pompeo speech:
“1. First, Iran must declare to the IAEA a full account of the prior military dimensions of its nuclear program, and permanently and verifiably abandon such work in perpetuity.
2. Second, Iran must stop enrichment and never pursue plutonium reprocessing. This includes closing its heavy water reactor.
3. Third, Iran must also provide the IAEA with unqualified access to all sites throughout the entire country.
4. Iran must end its proliferation of ballistic missiles and halt further launching or development of nuclear-capable missile systems.
5. Iran must release all U.S. citizens, as well as citizens of our partners and allies, each of them detained on spurious charges.
6. Iran must end support to Middle East terrorist groups, including Lebanese Hizballah, Hamas, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
7. Iran must respect the sovereignty of the Iraqi Government and permit the disarming, demobilization, and reintegration of Shia militias.
8. Iran must also end its military support for the Houthi militia and work towards a peaceful political settlement in Yemen.
9. Iran must withdraw all forces under Iranian command throughout the entirety of Syria.
10. Iran, too, must end support for the Taliban and other terrorists in Afghanistan and the region, and cease harboring senior al-Qaida leaders.
11. Iran, too, must end the IRG Qods Force’s support for terrorists and militant partners around the world.
12. And too, Iran must end its threatening behavior against its neighbors – many of whom are U.S. allies. This certainly includes its threats to destroy Israel, and its firing of missiles into Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. It also includes threats to international shipping and destructive cyberattacks.
That list is pretty long, but if you take a look at it, these are 12 very basic requirements. The length of the list is simply a scope of the malign behavior of Iran. We didn’t create the list, they did. ”

Indeed, the American people does deserve clearer answers.

Don’t tell me Obhammud doesn’t have a speech ready for this occasion. The “smidgens of corruption” are everywhere, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, weaponizing the IRS, Solyndra, etc.

Note to President Trump: Until you get rid of Swamp Sissy Sessions the DOJ is no longer the Presidential arm of law enforcement……Sessions sided with the Swamp….get over your shock….fire his azz and put Jay Sekulow in there to do the work.
Until you do that…you are just whistling in the graveyard……
