Obama's Denial of Trump Wiretaps Not Credible!
Federal Judge Leon Asked to Step In!
By Larry Klayman, Chairman and General Counsel

March 5, 2017
The
newest revelations that the Obama administration wiretapped, that is
"bugged," the president and all of his men in the lead up and after the November 8, 2017,
elections are not surprising. In this regard, for over 2 years the
highest levels of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been
secretly investigating the "harvesting" of highly confidential
information including financial records of the chief justice of the
Supreme Court, other justices, over 156 judges, prominent businessmen
like Donald Trump, and public activists like me.
In
this regard, a whistleblower named Dennis Montgomery, a former NSA/CIA
contractor, came forward to FBI Director Comey with 47 hard drives and
over 600 million pages of largely classified information, under grants
of use and derivative use immunity, which I obtained for him with the
U.S Attorney for the District of Columbia. Later, Montgomery, who
suffers from a potentially fatal brain aneurism, testified under oath,
for over 2 ½ hours before FBI Special Agents Walter Giardina and William
Barnett in a secure room at the FBI's field office in Washington, D.C.
The testimony was under oath and videotaped and I have reminded the FBI
recently to preserve this evidence.
I
have also met on several occasions with the staff of Chairman Bob
Goodlatte of the House Judiciary Committee, since judges have been
illegally surveilled, and asked them to inquire of FBI Director Comey
and his General Counsel James Baker why their Montgomery investigation
has appeared to have been "buried" for the last few years. They have
done so, but as yet have not received, to the best of my knowledge, a
clear response.
In
addition I have gone back to one of the few intellectually honest
judges on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (nearly
all of the rest, save for another great judge Royce C. Lamberth, are
politically biased appointees of either Presidents Clinton or Obama),
and asked him to move forward to trial with the cases which I filed in
2013 against Obama and his intelligence agencies over the mass spying of
hundreds of millions of Americans. Not coincidentally, before Edward
Snowden revealed this unconstitutional conduct by the National Security
Agency (NSA), which then was run under the direction of the Director of
National Intelligence (DNI), James Clapper, Clapper
lied under oath to Congress, denying that this illegal surveillance was
occurring under his watch. That he was never prosecuted for perjury at a
minimum, not to mention that it is a crime to wiretap innocent
Americans without "probable cause," is a testament to the reality that
official Washington is afraid of the intelligence agencies, knowing that
they can dig up "dirt" to destroy their political and personal lives.
Indeed, this may help explain Chief Justice Roberts' inexplicable last
minute flip on the Obamacare case before SCOTUS. What, for instance, did
Clapper and the NSA/CIA have on Roberts that may have "convinced" him
to rubber stamp President Barack Obama's unconstitutional Affordable
Care Act.
Judge Leon, in the course of my cases before him (see www.freedomwatchusa.org),
has already issued two preliminary injunction rulings ordering that the
illegal mass surveillance cease and desist. He termed this
unconstitutional violation of our Fourth Amendment, "almost Orwellian," a
reference to George Orwell's prophetic book "1984" about "Big Brother."
Judge Leon's rulings then prompted Congress to amend the Patriot Act
and call them the USA Freedom Act, which sought to leave telephonic
metadata in the hands of the telephone providers, like Verizon, Sprint,
and AT&T, until a warrant was obtained showing probable cause that a
target or subjects communications with terrorists or a crime was being
committed.
It
now appears that the Obama intelligence agencies, as I predicted to
Judge Leon, have again ignored and flouted the law, and at the direction
of the former president Obama and/or his men like Clapper illegally
spied on targets or subjects like Mr. Trump and his associates,
including Gen. Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser. This
is why I have pushed Judge Leon to move my cases along to trial, and
have offered to bring Montgomery forth to be interviewed by the judge in
camera in the interim, as he has a security clearance to probe
Montgomery about classified information which I cannot and have not
accessed.
Legally
speaking, my cases against the intelligence agencies also encompass the
illegal surveillance of President Trump and his men, as what apparently
occurred shows a pattern of unconstitutional conduct that at trial
would raise a strong evidentiary inference that this illegal behavior
continues to occur. Our so-called government, represented by dishonest
Obama loyal attorneys in the corrupted Federal Programs Branch of the
Justice Department, continues to maintain that they cannot for national
security reasons confirm or deny the mass surveillance against me or
anyone else. I have asked Judge
Leon to enter a permanent injunction against Obama and his political
hacks at the NSA and CIA, many of whom are still there and are bent on
destroying the Trump presidency and attempting to blackmail prominent
Americans, like me, who might challenge the destructive
socialist/pro-Muslim agenda of the Obama-Clinton-Soros left.
My
legal efforts to use the uncompromised court of Judge Leon to get to
the truth about and issue orders remedying, and later monitoring the
unconstitutional Fourth Amendment violations of Obama and his henchmen
like Clapper, is of crucial importance. Congressional investigations as
President Trump's White House requested Sunday, are likely to result in yet another cover-up.
Appearances by so-called prominent Republicans like Marco Rubio and others on the talk shows Sunday do not inspire confidence, as Rubio and company on the Senate Intelligence Committee harbor animus to Trump, the president having vanquished the Republican establishment during last fall's primary season. And, even when it was shown that DNI Clapper had lied under oath to their committee, they, as usual, did nothing!
