President Trump weighed-in Thursday on the escalating surveillance scandal surrounding the Obama administration; saying the previous Commander-in-Chief “knew everything.”
“Yes, he probably directed them but if he didn’t direct them, he knew everything” said President Trump when asked if his predecessor was aware of the surveillance. “You’ll see that, by the way…you’re gonna see that when the papers come out.”

Recently released documents from the Department of Justice reveal the true extent that former Obama officials and possibly the President himself launched a potentially-illegal surveillance campaign against the Trump campaign during and after the 2016 General Election.
“Just 17 days before President Trump took office in January 2017, then-FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok texted bureau lawyer Lisa Page, his mistress, to express concern about sharing sensitive Russia probe evidence with the departing Obama White House,” reports Just The News.
“The text messages, which were never released to the public by the FBI but were provided to this reporter in September 2018, have taken on much more significance to both federal and congressional investigators in recent weeks as the Justice Department has requested that Flynn’s conviction be thrown out and his charges of lying to the FBI about Kislyak dismissed,” adds the website.
“The investigators are trying to determine whether Obama’s well-known disdain for Flynn, a career military intelligence officer, influenced the decision by the FBI leadership to reject its own agent’s recommendation to shut down a probe of Flynn in January 2017 and instead pursue an interview where agents might catch him in a lie,” concludes the author.
