| Shaffer: Trump Wiretap Case 'Worse Than Watergate' |
| 2017-03-27 |
| [INSIDER.FOXNEWS] Former CIA officer Col. Tony Shaffer said the basics of President Trump's claim to have been "wiretapped" are likely true, and that the incident is "worse than Watergate." Noting it has been exactly two weeks since Trump tweeted that President B.O. wiretapped his namesake tower, Shaffer said the "basic fundamental idea and claim is true." He said that Trump was not physically wiretapped, with a wire into his phone, and it may not have physically been Trump Tower, but his campaign apparatus instead. Shaffer said that due to the simplicity required to "mask" an American's name during an incidental wiretap, that the leak of Gen. Michael Flynn's name was "accidental on purpose." "Clearly they were after gossip because it was political," Shaffer said, maintaining that the alleged wiretap had nothing to do with Russia. The "political appointees" in the intelligence community knew exactly what they were surveilling for, Shaffer said, adding that the case is "much worse than Watergate by an order of magnitude." He said that even if the surveillance was done legally, the "unmasking" of Americans' names and the leaking of the information are felones. Shaffer added that Trump's references to battling the "intelligence community" likely meant those political appointees involved in the alleged surveillance, and not the CIA or NSA writ large. |

| #8 Please remember many local campaign offices are simply rented strip mall shops. These rarely have private circuits rather using the easy enough to tag and track unsecured strip mall pbx for phone services. Ivanhoe TX may not have much in the way of political strategists but when they join a daily conference call there is quite a bit of exposure. |

| #7 At some time, Trump is going to have address the deep state and Obama's and the Clinton's shadow government. The FBI, American people and Trump don't seem to be well-served by the current appointment. |

| #5 Holiday After - Writing one's memoirs does take a bit of isolation and privacy. There really are plenty of suitable locations in Oceania: Islam in Oceania refers to Islam and Muslims in Oceania. By current estimates, there are 620,156 Muslims in Oceania, 476,600 in Australia, 48,151 in New Zealand, 86,162 in Fiji, 6,352 in New Caledonia, 2,200 in Papua New Guinea, 360 in Solomon Islands, 221 in Vanuatu, 110 in Tonga and tiny numbers in Kiribati and Samoa.[1] According to a 2007 article in Pacific Magazine, entitled 'Green Moon Rising', Islam has seen a substantial increase in adherents amongst the peoples of Vanuatu, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia. There have been thousands of indigenous converts to Islam in Melanesia.[2][3] There are also approximately 400 Muslims in Palau, whose government recently allowed a few Uyghurs detained in Guantanamo Bay to settle in the island nation.[4] Wiki |
