Trump is going after Obama for illegally wiretapping Trump tower while he was campaigning, but this is not the first time Obama has made such a sleazy move.
WIKILEAKS revealed a list of almost dozen people who were victims of Obama’s lawless wiretapping.
-
The US National Security Agency bugged a private climate change strategy meeting; between UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin.
-
Obama bugged Chief of Staff of UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for long term interception targetting his Swiss phone.
-
Obama singled out the Director of the Rules Division of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Johann Human, and targetted his Swiss phone for long term interception.
-
Obama stole sensitive Italian diplomatic cables detailing how Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu implored Italy’s Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to help patch up his relationship with US President Barack Obama, who was refusing to talk to Netanyahu.
-
Obama intercepted top EU and Japanese trade ministers discussing their secret strategy and red lines to stop the US “extort[ing]” them at the WTO Doha arounds (the talks subsequently collapsed).
-
Obama explicitly targeted five other top EU economic officials for long term interception, including their French, Austrian and Belgium phone numbers.
-
Obama explicitly targetted the phones of Italy’s ambassador to NATO and other top Italian officials for long term interception.
-
Obama intercepted details of a critical private meeting between then French president Nicolas Sarkozy, Merkel and Berluscon, where the latter was told the Italian banking system was ready to “pop like a cork”.
-
in 2013, a reporter, Fox News’ James Rosen and his family, were part of an investigation into government officials anonymously leaking information to journalists. Rosen was not charged but his movements and actions were tracked.
-
Also in 2013, members of the Associated Press were a target of the surveillance. The ultra liberal New Yorker even noted that “In moderate and liberal circles, at least, the phone-records scandal, partly because it involves the dear old A.P. and partly because it raises anew the specter of Big Brother, may well present the most serious threat to Obama’s reputation.”
-
Reporter Sharyl Attkisson said in 2014 that her personal computer and CBS laptop were hacked after she began filing stories about Benghazi that were unflattering to the Obama administration. A source who checked her laptop said the hacker used spyware “proprietary to a government agency,” according to an article in the New York Post.
Obama deserves to rot in jail for what he did. Using the powers on the FBI, CIA and NSA to spy on your political opponents is as dirty as it gets. President Trump is NOT going to let him get away with this!
