There is a large scandal brewing in Washington.
It involves illegal leaks of classified information.
And one journalist explains how it could lead to members of Barack Obama’s team going to prison.
Bob Woodward of the Washington Post was one of the reporters who broke the Watergate story.
He recently appeared on Fox News Channel’s The O’Reilly Factor to discuss the bombshell revelations from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes that members of the Trump team had been under surveillance and their identities had been illegally passed around the intelligence community.
Woodward said this was a gross violation.
Woodward calls what Obama Team did "A Gross Violation" then states:"This will be Criminal for those who said let's name these people" #Nunes pic.twitter.com/7Qip0cle8r

When an American citizen is picked up communicating with an individual under a FISA warrant, their identity is supposed to be minimized, unless there is foreign intelligence value attached to the communication.
Nunes is alleging there was no foreign intelligence value to some of the communications he observed.
Passing around this information is illegal.
Even keeping information with no intelligence value collected through a FISA warrant is illegal.
When Trump first accused Obama of spying on him, Robert Barnes wrote on LawNewz blog that there were two possible criminal violations by the Obama team:
“…it seems the FISA-compelled protocols for precluding the dissemination of the information were violated, and that Obama’s team issued orders to achieve precisely what the law forbids, if published reports are true about the administration sharing the surveilled information far-and-wide to promote unlawful leaks to the press. This, too, would be its own crime, as it brings back the ghost of Hillary’s emails — by definition, FISA information is strictly confidential or it’s information that never should have been gathered. FISA strictly segregates its surveilled information into two categories: highly confidential information of the most serious of crimes involving foreign acts of war; or, if not that, then information that should never have been gathered, should be immediately deleted, and never sourced nor disseminated. It cannot be both.
Recognizing this information did not fit FISA meant having to delete it and destroy it. According to published reports, Obama’s team did the opposite: order it preserved, ordered the NSA to search it, keep it, and share it; and then Obama’s Attorney General issued an order to allow broader sharing of information and, according to the New York Times, Obama aides acted to label the Trump information at a lower level of classification for massive-level sharing of the information. The problem for Obama is simple — if it could fit a lower level of classification, then it had to be deleted and destroyed, not disseminated and distributed, under crystal clear FISA law. Obama’s team’s admission it could be classified lower, yet taking actions to insure its broadest distribution, could even put Obama smack-middle of the biggest unlawful surveillance and political-opponent-smear campaign since Nixon.”
Nunes’ revelations make it clear that members of the Obama team committed both of these crimes.
And Bob Woodward is right. People could end up in jail.
Screw a liberal, we see everything they do and yet we still have these morons living on our dime and attempting sedition and treason. Hang every one of the bastards and the next bunch will think twice before repeating it. Of course our government is going to down play it and screw the laws, they would rather have a vote than uphold any law. This is why at some point the nation will be forced to once again call to arms and finally once and for all delete all these players who are no more than simple felons and thieves. We no longer have political parties but a handful of powerful players fighting one another over control of you and I and all the money the f ckers can steal from us.
It cost a lot of loot to pad a Lib nest and they are damned proud of lefty losers for making this happen…
These Democratic Senators and Congressmen are very dangerous to the American Way. They must be stopped. Their only goal is to tear America down, and become richer doing it. Corruption at its finest.
WASHINGTON, Democrat Corruption. District of Corruption
The time to separate is coming much faster than either group has remotely figured would happen! One possible two more POTUS election cycles and the division will be too great to repair..,.,…Chicago and major cities will look like those of Syria……….4 to 8 years max
We need to see the voting changed where EVERY American must go to the polls, physically, to vote, presenting their approved ID before they vote. NO ID, no vote.
That’s a great idea John!
AND a goodly share of Republicans as well – such as John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Paul Ryan. The list is, sadly, very long. This is the Republican “establishment” and they do NOT like outsiders. FIRE ALL of them.
“And Bob Woodward is right. People could end up in jail.”
Could one of those, please, be Barack Obama.
Is that why he hiding out on a tiny French Polynesian island called Tetiaroa.
Is it because they have no extradition?
Can he still direct his OFA aka Obama’s Freak’n A-Holes from a prison cell?
Wouldn’t OFFAL (Obama’s F’n, Freak’n A-hole Liberals) be more apt?
he will be toooooo busy having sex with Bubba
And enjoying it too!
Thit man dat b rathitht.
Huh?
That’s Ebonics for, “Shit man that is racist”.
Thanks. See what schools are teaching nowadays, AND FAILING TO TEACH!
No, kbmiller, it’s common sense. Obama is the racist and always has been. He is trying to destroy America because he hates ‘white’ and ‘straight’. He LOVES black and homosexual
I agree 100%.
Sorry, must have misinterpreted your post! 🙂
I heard he did a lot of “catching” if you know what I mean. So it’s true his white mother killed herself? I heard when she was giving birth, she pooped and thought that was her baby.
It was!!!!! He’s a s–thead.
Then she tried to pick it up by the clean end to polish it and utter Bar ichhhh.
Thanks for the translation! I was like “What the f**k are you saying?” I lost June Cleaver’s phone number for a translation. She was great in Airplane! Kb, have a great day!
HA HA HA I’ve got a cousin who lives in Nawleans. He’s responsible for that. He’s got all the lingo down.
we can only hope that LYING A HOLE CHEATING B*****D Onumbnuts goes to jail where most democrats belong.
So what’s the holdup?!!!
Haul his ass BACK to the USA even if we have to INVADE that island. He belongs in PRISON, for LIFE without the possibility of parole. Or tried for TREASON and become the first POTUS to be executed as a subversive.
So I guess no real journalist of today we have to go back to Woodward to get some real journalism? msm should be ashamed and not wondering why we don’t trust them. Report the truth not your agenda and opinions.
I know people will call this Bible thumping, but I don’t really care anymore. Our higher education systems were Church founded and oriented when this nation was young. ALL the colleges and current Ivy league schools started out as Church sponsored and backed , truth driven institutions. . For the last several decades, our journalism schools have been run by atheist and socialist who will not tolerate any truth driven journalism. It has to be agenda, agenda , agenda.
They have been pumping out a new anti-god batch of journalist every year for so long that all we have now is propaganda arms of the two different political parties.
You’re right, but it’s far more pervasive than Journalism! The Leftists and Globalists are firmly in the majority in many schools of Business, Law, Social and Public Service and some sciences. These people, from what I can see, hate all religions except Islam, do NOT respect democracy in any form or individual liberty in any form, but DO respect dictatorships and those who deliver death, such as criminals, foreign gangs, violent illegal immigrants or abortionists. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see what’s coming at us!
First of all, I love your screen name. My grand kids would swear it was me. I live on a small farm with horses , goats, chickens ,etc. There is always something to do. They learned at an early age to never say
” I’M BORED” in front of Pap-Pap.
Yes, we have gotten away from what made this country the most powerful and best nation on earth. Many of these liberal unicorn ranchers think we are to big to fail. The Romans thought that too.
We are destroying ourselves from the inside. I firmly believe that Satan found out after WW II that unless he could corrupt our morals and traditional family values, that he could never destroy us. Well, just look around. Only one thing will save this nation, and no one wants to hear it,
That is why I carry a large print, study BIBLE KJV.. It is twice as big as most Bibles so when I thump someone with it, they know that they have been THUMPED.
I like your style, Pap-Pap!
Good for you, ATR, I find my old NIV get’s ’em, too! Not to much the size but the contents lure many! :-))
If a kid uses that “I’m bored” line, tell them what my grandma would say “Go outside and Spit and Catch”. I love that one.
That is one I had not heard of. Good one. With a barn full of horses, there was always stalls to clean, what we call ” picking horse apples ” and also removing the urine soaked sawdust on the floor. A couple hours of that would always clear up any boredom they had.
Correct! Every aspect of society! Our National Capitol is full of them.
And I say, they are indwelt by demons. What other answer could there be? No ordinary person could possibly think, say, and act the way these “people do” and not be possessed!!
Why do you think that is? Communism plain and simple.
When Communism begins to take over the first thing they do is to dumb down the schools and throw God out of the picture — It’s hard to take over an educated, Godly-wise people.
I would dare say most of our schools, from College to Kindergarten, and most of the Media are infiltrated by Communists, sadly.
I should add, “AND TAKE AWAY OUR GUNS!
They’ll never report the straight truth! They always have to slant it in some way to fit their agenda.
So what might we be saying here, that Trump was right yet again with one of his famous Tweets?
Many times we have seen Trump take to Twitter and say things that, at
first, caused people to groan their eyes and say “What?” Yet he always
seems to come out as being correct.
Is this yet another example of his making an outwardly absurd statement (at least to the Dems), yet being right?
And before you liberals jump on me and bring up his retraction of his claim that Osama is not a US citizen, I’d like to point out that that thinking people know why he did that. He is trying his best to unify our country. To continue pursuing that issue would not only continue to cause division, but would serve no purpose.
Trump is our President, and if people would only make attempts to get behind him, including the Washington establishment types in his own party, he just might do good things for our country.
There is no doubt in my mind he will do good things for this country. Take that to the bank.
Don’t forget there’s an R behind President Trump’s name and for that, these evil leftist won’t do anything positive for our President.
Donald Trump really isn’t a “Republican” in the eyes of many “establishment” types and that is why so many are undermining him. Trump is a patriot – politicians aren’t use to patriots. He’s doing [or trying to do] what is best for the people, NOT the politicians. He is a populist, a VERY smart guy who has actually accomplished something in the real world. By comparison few in congress have done anything more than “wheel and deal” which is why they dislike/hate him. Donald Trump is FOR America and Americans. The political class is for themselves.
Jay, when you get a chance, respond to this and show me With a clip from YouTube how you “groan” with your eyes. Is that what the lady in “Total Recall” did? Cool!
Jay you’re being logical. Some conservatives and all liberals cannot handle that or
common sense. Barry Soetoro was born in Kenya. He was a foreign student at Columbia University in New York City. But the mere fact that Barry Soetoro’s birthplace is in question SHOULD HAVE THROWN UP RED FLAGS EIGHT YEARS AGO! Josef Stalin’s useful idiots failure at work again.
Everybody likes you BW, except for Richard Nixon and he’s dead, so you may as well go for the record and put a DNCommunist in jail….
Bob Woodward has reputation as straight shooter. This might be the imparitus to move the story into the spot light it deserves.
Ok then! Lets get the warrants and make the arrests and get them into a court of law! Enough pussy footing around! We the American people are fed up with this wanton misuse of powers! If its a frime then prosecute! Plain and simple! Dont delay! Do it today!
If the leaders we have now won’t do their job, the we’ll find somebody who will, even if it’s “Joe Schmo” down on the corner, enough is enough
The Iran deal should have landed him in prison..
Not being a citizen should have. Since the liberals got ordinary (stupid) people to vote the new “union” laws, sodomy is now legal and moochele stays out of jail with his/her/its partner.
DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF CORRUPTION.
What’s the delay. The entire Obama administration needs to be behind bars sooner than later. Get this done.
I agree with you Elly, why does it seem like for the last almost 100 days , there has been so much back stabbing ,corrupt $hit going on in washington , but nobody is getting axed , what’s the holdup , is really that hard to throw the trash out in DC ?
Tom G – I watched another video today that will blow your mind. Go to YouTube and search Josh Tolley interview about diseased illegals who are given SSN’s and passports when coming across the border. This is happening now. It’s an hour long video, but so much in it. The whistleblower is from Missouri and she has so much to say. I wish everyone could watch this video.
It’s one thing to be charitable but endangering your own people is the same as releasing rats and fleas to bring on the Bubonic Plague again. And that is exactly what is going on.
Yes it is, because it’s a whole lot of TRASH, and ALL the TRASH MUST GO. That
swamp was way larger than President Trump had anticipated.
And Frankie we never heard Donald Trump say, “Well I inherited this mess” as his predecessor did. Shows the difference in quality between a street hawker of 2008 and a successful businessperson of 2016. Now we have a genuine successful American Citizen at the helm. God Bless our Great Nation. Stand beside her and guide her away from the atheistic/agnostic Godless faction.
And much of our “intelligence” community for sedition and/or treason.
Bob Woodward, you are experienced (Watergate scandal etc.) Why aren’t you taking the lead to have these villains imprisoned? we need experienced people like you to help drain the swamp. Daily our beautiful country is being poisoned by unscrupulous individuals who get into Congress to enrich themselves and don’t give a thought about their constituents.
Let me answer that for you. Because he also is a left wing nut. If he were going to do anything he would have done it while obama was still in office. Don’t count on Bob Woodward for anything if it goes against a progressive communistic so called democrat.
You’ve got that right.
All he wants is “Face Time” on national TV .Woodward is a has been from a long time ago.He was after Nixon and his administration His roost is with the leftest Washington Post,so of course he is not a fan of President Trump or any Republican.
Bob Woodward IS mentioning it. That alone puts him on the outside with lots of liberals. What more can he do? Give him credit for standing up – it’s more than Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell are doing.
And how about the two butt buddies, John McCain and Lindsey Graham. They ARE the enemy too.
Teresa, he’s a journalist, not part of the government. All he can do is alert those who are supposed to make sure this conduct doesn’t occur. This FAR surpasses Watergate in seriousness, in scope etc. We have the Democrats, we have a complicit media, we have the “establishment” Republicans ALL trying to destroy the Trump presidency. ALL should go to prison. For a VERY long term.
If the situation in this country is bad enough to get Bob Woodward concerned enough to speak out in opposition to the Democrats, things are far worse than anyone thought!! The fact he failed to rail against Obama despite 50+ violations of US Constitution still proves he’s a partisan hack 99% of the time, but he has gained 1% credibility in my book for speaking up!
We can only wish that this will come to pass. Would love to see the leader of this criminal cabal and his henchmen in prison.
Get the BUS ready, make it a very large one. Who will be the 1st to be thrown under???? This is going to be very interesting.
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA !!!!
I have read that Anthony Weiner had some very interesting information on a laptop he shared with Huma Abedin. That laptop was seized from their home by the NYPD as a part of the investigation into Weiner’s pedophile case. I have also read that Weiner kept that information in case the Clinton’s ever came “after” him. Now he is singing like a bird willing to testify against the Clintons in exchange for a reduced sentence or having all charges dropped. Hillary said it “If I lose we’ll all hang”. Hopefully by God she is right.
I hope someone from Barack team goes to jail and rot there !!
Someone? I would say EVERYONE.
Amen!!
I can’t believe it! Bob Woodward told the truth?!?! WOW!!!
I agree with your WOW!!!WashPo doesn’t tell the truth so Woodward is not to be trusted unless he will benefit somehow.
Obama’s like Clinton and Bush are own by very crooked and dangerous Jews. Make no mistake history does not lie about Jews. Germany was right. The same thing Jews were doing in Germany they have been doing here in America for the last six decades. WAKE UP FOLKS THE JEWISH MAFIA EMPIRE ARE KILLING YIUR CHILDRENS FUTURE AND SAFETY!
Bum Obummer, hag Hillary, pervert Bill, lying Loretta Lynch, big shot Valerie Jarrett & the biggest thief of all, George Soros ALL NEED TO BE IN PRISON NOW!!! When will they ever be prosecuted?! Let’s go!
If anyone knows where Soros is please tell the Russians. Mr. Putin would like to have a talk with him.
Woodward is playing both sides of the fence now. But he’s right on this count. To the treasonous lefties – remember we’re playing with REAL bullets these days – not rubber ones. Get caught – pay the price or get out of the swamp and become a patriot, not part of the 5th column. What are they going to gain from it if the Musulims eventually take over? I would seriously consider that for future generations. Those guys will NOT put up with your shit. It might be YOUR granddaughter – great granddaughter who becomes an Isis wife. Take 4 seconds to consider that!! I mean – really think about it.
I will keep my fingers crossed that Obama and his crooked cohorts all go to prison!
Have you seen this? The video below may explain a lot. In the two black and white pictures below, the guy on the left is Mohammed Sabud – he is the founder of a little cult called SUBUD. That photo was taken sometime in the late 50’s. Look familiar? Everyone should take a few minutes to watch it – take away from it what you will.

Was he born in Kenya under that name? There is a b.c. that shows his birth there. Trying to piece it all together.
His little old Grandma in Kenya said she was there when he was born. I don’t know if she is a liar or conspiracy theorist ;-). I really do believe that Obama Sr. is not Barry’s biological father. It would be so easy to prove but I doubt Obama Jr. will ever consent to it. There are many ways to get his DNA though so maybe. I do believe that Obama’s whole life is a lie. It started at birth and continues to this day. There is a saying that goes if you tell the truth the story never changes – but it’s hard to keep track of lies and sooner or later you forget where you are. Hopefully Barry is getting ready to spin out of control. It is strange to me that he is in Hawaii or elsewhere by now and Michelle is in the Caribbean but – where the hell are the kids? I always thought that Frank Marshall Davis was he father until I saw the above video. Now??
Here is another video you might find interesting it is his brother Malik in Kenya talking about how Barry has treated his “family”.
http://nation.foxnews.com/2015/04/26/bombshell-interview-obama-s-brother-says-barack-cold-and-ruthless-dishonest-and-schemer
It’s all pretty interesting. I hope that one day we know the truth. Thanks for the link. I can’t watch it right now, but I will and will get back to you.
I don’t know why the media doesn’t pay any attention to this stuff. If it’s wrong they should debunk it but shouldn’t ignore it.
So what is going to happen in response to obama’s comrades placing President Trump’s team under surveillance? Will anyone be prosecuted for the crimes? Or will the same thing happen to them as was the case involving all of crooked hillary’s crimes? NOTHING!
President Trump has only been in office a few months – that’s a big swamp he is trying to drain – it will take some time.
I sure hope that someone pays the price for being a teasonist prick that is on the taxpayers payroll , but is accomplishing nothing but trying to disrupt our government every step of the way , please someone in Washington , grow a pair and start throwing these criminals in prison , obuma included ! Also it’s time to send FBI director comey down the road and get a real man in there with some integrity.
I vote for Trey Crowley
WE KNOW THE NAMES OF THE CRIMINALS WHY ARE THEY NOT IN JAIL ?
WHY OBAMA KEEPS BETRAYING OUR COUNTRY ? HE BELONGS IN FRONT OF A FIRING SQUAD!,
I think obummer should take one for the team and do their/his jail time for them.
Don’t bet on that,Peter. It seems that obama, like clinton, will let his flunkies take the hits for him. Nixon went down trying to cover up for his people. Anyone that went to bat for clinton took the smack for him. It will be the same for obama’s hacks.
Re: Nunes- Not a dummy- always better to ask for forgiveness than permission, when doing the right thing. Horaaay!
I thought the exact same thing!
Forget jail, DEATH TO ALL!!! A lot if people have been killed to push their lib agenda, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, KILL’m all starting with OBAMA-HO & KILLARY CLINTON, then all their cohorts including CHELSEA CLINTON, don’t even give that ugly LIB BITCH a chance, her other in-law family is as crooked as her Mother, they are a D I S E A S E. that needs to be E R A D I C A T E D like NOW !!!!
All this information on Obama means nothing! If the law catches up with him, he will simply disappear and show up sometime later in a Muslim nation where he will be seen as a hero! But then, no one saw fit to truly “vet” this man who was never a legitimate candidate for President! Good-bye America!
Before I die Lord,before I die please see that justice is done.
One thing for sure. When they stand in front of the Lord, Justice WILL be done.
Nothing is going to happen. The republicans in office a gutless. Tell me anyone out there what they think is going to happen. They have the majority in congress and still nothing is going to happen.
Stop the talk and start the indicting, lets get the process going an stop talking
The minute Trump said “Obama wiretapped Trump Tower” My gut feeling was that he was not blowing hot air. He must have gotten wind of this from someone He was not speculating. With all the liberal denials my gut told me this is going to cost liberals and especially the Obama back-room team big time. Now with Jeff Sessions in charge of DOJ there should be some serious actions taken to punish treasonous acts by Obama, his minions and the DNC. And Trump should demand real action once and for all.
Bob Woodward’s facial expression at the end of the interview is priceless as he suddenly realizes (like a seeding car hitting a block wall) that someone could/should go to jail and it’s most likely Obama. Do you think Valerie Jarrett is loyal enough to do the time for Obama?
She needs to do time WITH obama!
America voted for major change when we voted in Trump it is now time to start speaking to you Representatives in Washington and tell them to stop all of this and start working with Trump for change your you are going to work hard to replace them
I will say one thing Jeff Sessions and the DOJ have been very quiet lately. That tells me he and they are working on warrants.
I hope that you’re right! And I hope that Clinton’s name is among them!
No, people MUST go to jail if we are to be a nation ruled by law after being ruled by a “Dick-taker-N-Thief” and Muslim-Marxist jihadist and his lezbo and homo commie minions!
I hope its Obummer. He needs to be arrested and thrown into jail. He is a scumbag muslim who cares nothing for this country.
So here we go again, all the allegations and nothing is done about it. Why talk about it just to get their name in the news. Do something about it .
This is our new Nation, full of crooked/criminals/politicians/thieves of the first order. Can someone explain to me where, Yes, Where did he get all these funds to be in a permanent vacation? Who is paying for the education of his siblings, who pays the rent on the DC house? There many more questions that involved large funds, that are not asked by the press or the republicans? WHY? Mr. Trump for sure must drain that city that is fully corrupted of politicians on a daily basis making deals to enrich themselves? Thank You.
Lock up all these liberal liar losers, drain the cesspool first, then drain the swamp.
Onumbnuts is a liar and a cheat ,but wait he is a dumbocrat so what else can we expect
Isn’t it curious that Obama has flown the coop to French Polynesia for a month without his family just before all this crap is hitting the fan? I thought he wanted to be in DC to be with his youngest daughter? Funny how he has imbedded Jarrett there to keep guard at the newly walled-in fortress.
I would love to live long enough to see that America hating, bath housing, community agitating, communist, Trojan Horse, Muslim maggot meet justice!
Thank President TRump for keeping GTMO open. He can soon start filling it with all the obama scum
It is hard to believe that, for 8 years, Obama, knows only what he read in the newspaper. I think he knew of every item, and probably was responsible for most, personally.
Could being the operative word. Won’t is a better word. All of these whistleblowers and illegal deed doers will never see the inside of a jail. Do you honestly think our POTUS will have the Clintons put in jail? Hell, the dems won’t even let him do the day to day work let alone put anyone on trial. Until he cleans out ALL of the intelligence agencies (including Mr. Comey) he won’t be able to get anything of importance done. He also needs to get ALL of his party behind him including McCain et al RINOS and some of the worthless dems to get a good healthcare package. He needs to fire some Federal judges but he has very little help right now.
Watergate started as a local law violation, a petty breaking and entering crime. Even with the denials and cover-up, I do not believe anyone was hurt by the act itself. This is far worse than Watergate. This involves serious national security violations with multiple federal felonies.
Woodward has no idea how many want to see obama and his merry band of thugs face the havoc they have created for this country and the citizens……Work harder Bob and help put these clowns in a fed prison…………………..
Just had a wild thought: Will one of BHO’s cronies “sing” and incriminate him? Would YOU hang for something your “boss” told you to do? I wouldn’t. I’d take the “boss” down with me!!!! Listen for the canaries. I’m almost 69 years old. I want to see the end of this before I bite the dust. BHO at the end of a rope.
THIS IS PROBABLY TRUE, but will anything be done–HIGHLY DOUBTFUL. I don’t have a lot of faith in things done or said against obummer , he escapes all the time. He’s in hiding like hillary after the election. Birds of a feather flock together…
The O’Bama people did lots of illegal things and got away with it. Hillary Clinton helped the Russians buy U.S. uranium and received millions for the Clinton Foundation, and when she lost her bid for president, blamed the Russians for aiding Trump and cannot prove even ONE word of it. Surveiling Trump and “leaking” it out trying to make Trump look bad. How hypocritical can they get?
