Poll: Americans ‘Overwhelmingly' Believe Obama ‘Improperly Surveilled' Trump Campaign
2018-02-11
[Breitbart] An IBD/TIPP poll shows that "Americans overwhelmingly believe the Obama administration ’improperly surveilled’ Donald Trump’s presidential campaign."

Despite the disgraced American media’s best and most cynical efforts to bury the truth, and to even stop the truth from ever seeing the light of day, this poll (and another addressed below) demonstrate that the American people are almost entirely tuning the partisan, mostly-hysterical news media out and looking to alternative media for the truth.

There is simply no other way to explain these poll results, which unambiguously prove that a majority of the public believe the exact opposite of what an unceasing, coordinated media campaign wants them to believe ‐ which is that President Trump colluded with the Russians to win the 2016 campaign and that the heroic FBI is being unfairly smeared by Trump’s eeeevil defenders.

Well, despite more than a year of this relentless propaganda coming from all four corners of the mainstream media’s fabricated reality, here are the results from all four corners of actual reality...

A clear majority of 55 percent believe it is "likely" that the Obama administration "improperly surveilled the Trump campaign during the 2016 election." That includes 31 percent of Democrats, 87 percent of Republicans, and 55 percent of Independents.

A clear majority of 54 percent want a special counsel to investigate "whether the FBI and the Department of Justice improperly surveilled the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential election." Only 44 percent said no. The partisan breakdown shows that 74 percent of Republicans and 50 percent of Independents want a special counsel ‐ as do a full 44 percent of Democrats.

In this particular poll, one fairly positive result for the FBI and Justice Department is that only 35 percent believe these institutions attempted to outright frame President Trump for colluding with the Russians.

#10  "O", as well as Hildo broke the law, what's going to be done about it? If nothing is done about this, law and order will suffer. If something is done, the left will go ballistic. I vote for prosecution, the left and Deep State be damned.

#9  I'm glad they are able to ignore the corrupt American News Media and make their own decisions.

It tells me they self educate which they must to survive.

#6  this poll (and another addressed below) demonstrate that the American people are almost entirely tuning the partisan, mostly-hysterical news media out and looking to alternative media for the truth.

As for the calls for punishment, if found guilty (big 'if' if you ask me as far as a court taking up the matter - deep state resistance & al that) I say simply strip him of his pension and have the IRS 'evaluate' or otherwise neutralize his pet agitator project, 'Organizing for Action'. I'd prefer to see him not get anywhere near the Clintons in terms of financial well-being and have to suffer that humiliation for decades.

#5  Now that the scandalous inner-workings of the 'Deep State' and our so-called electoral system are being revealed, it makes one once again give pause to what took place in the presidential elections and unbelievable outcomes of 2008 and 2012.

It was businessman (at the time) Donald Trump who questioned the legitimacy of Obama's papers and background. Some personal animus perhaps ?

My tinfoil hat is still on the hall tree by the way.

#4  I don’t want him exiled, I want him put against a wall and shot. Along with a bunch of others. A strong message must be sent.

#2  I still think it's even money that obunghole will be the first American President to live out his days in exile. Maybe he will go out Ron Brown style...
