    No the Horowitz report released by the Justice Department on December 11, 2019 stated that there was no evidence of spying on the Trump campaign by anyone in the FBI, CIA, or any other faction of the Obama administration.
    How did Sessions ever get that job anyway?

    I'm going with droning al-Awlaki and his 16 year old son in Yemen. Funding terrorism to include giving $150B plus the $1.8B ransom. The money was used to fund Iran's terrorist opportunism. Providing support to terrorists is a crime now as it was then.

    Then, there was killing bin Laden ,,, an act that Democrats now consider a crime. Of course, Obama exerted executive privilege in response to 9 Congressional subpoena's, also recently dubbed a crime.

    It was concluded that surveillance wasn't spying and, since no one admitted surveillance was politically motivated, Horowitz couldn't conclude the obvious. We'll just have to wait for the trials.

    The worst of all the Obama era scandals isn't even on this list and the list is extensive. By far, the most corrupt Administration we have ever seen.

    https://lists.grabien.com/list-complete-guide-scandals-obama-administration

    When Barr and Durham get done with their criminal investigation and the "shine" wears off of Obama and the media turns on him, Obama himself will be left to answer a lot of questions about his abuse and his role in the coup attempt.

    The media will never turn on Obama. They will never betray the overall goal of the left - which is to destroy our Constitution and freedom.

    We're very close to 1984.

    The Republican narrative is funny. When I see conservative commentators saying the most silly untruthful things with a straight face it is funny. It is even funnier that people fall for it.

    Watch and see, all the boogeymen you just listed, none will go to jail, or even be charged as the “investigation” is primarily to play Republican followers, not to find justice. They will keep telling you about it, but nothing will ever happen. It is designed to lead you astray.

    Especially with the use of alternate facts on the right, where truth isn’t truth.

    You may be forgetting about the IRS Scandal and Benghazi. Yes, there wasn't a HINT of scandal in the Obama administration! At least according to Sleepy Joe! :roflol:

    Yes and like I said, I totally understand why OFFENDING groups would be targeted, but not unrelated groups. However, in the case of the IRS targeting certain conservative groups, they were NEW groups appyling for tax-exempt status! So why should they be targeted because of the sins of others? This is just ideological profiling, which is wrong, just as racial profiling is wrong.

    The scandals of the Trump presidency are a continuous and continuing process, not events.

    The biggest scandal of the Trump presidency is the blind obeisance of GOP lawmakers. The GOP lawmakers have doomed themselves by choosing to be invisible for all purposes other than photo opportunities with Donald Trump.

    The rules of the board do not permit me to accurately characterize the nature of that post. They require respectful comments when none are deserved. Let's just say it would not be surprising to learn the OP is a devotee of QAnon.

    That profiling is wrong? I don't need the media to tell me that.
    You're still deflecting I see - totally unable to justify why NEW groups applying for tax-exempt status should be targeted because of the sins of other groups. :roflol:

    The controversy was about existing groups breaking the law.

    Then why did they need to use keywords such as "tea party?" If it was only existing groups breaking the law, then they would have been on a black list.

    They used keywords because a lot of political nonprofits were breaking the law, mostly Right wingers. Scrutiny is what the IRS is supposed to do...

    "In late September 2017, an exhaustive report by the Treasury Department's Inspector General found that from 2004 to 2013, the IRS used both conservative and liberal keywords to choose targets for further scrutiny.[2][3]"
