A report has surfaced suggesting that Obama’s FBI spied on the Trump campaign more than was previously understood to be true. If true this is a scary abuse of power.

From the Daily Wire:

On Thursday, an analysis from The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel on the latest developments in the Justice Department’s decision to allow House Intelligence Committee members to view classified information about “a top-secret intelligence source” in the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign revealed that the FBI may have spied on the campaign more than previously thought.

Strassel began by highlighting remarks House Speaker Paul Ryan made in a press conference on Thursday about House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes’ demand to see more information about the FBI’s top-secret source.

“I think this request is wholly appropriate and is completely within the scope of the investigation that has been ongoing for a while with respect to [the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act],” Ryan said. “I actually think this is something that should have been answered a while ago.”

Strassel noted that this suggests that the DOJ “knew full well it should have turned this material over to congressional investigators last year, but instead deliberately concealed it.”

The FBI has long a lot of credibility in the recent months and will have a long way to go to return to the public prominence it once held.
