Conservative Treehouse released a timeline of the unlawful spying by the Obama administration on the opposition party’s candidate in Trump Tower.
The list includes the revelation that the Obama administration continued to spy on Trump Tower and opposition party after October even after no evidence was found of wrongdoing.
1. June 2016: FISA request. The Obama administration files a request with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to monitor communications involving Donald Trump and several advisers. The request, uncharacteristically, is denied.
2. July: Russia joke. Wikileaks releases emails from the Democratic National Committee that show an effort to prevent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) from winning the presidential nomination. In a press conference, Donald Trump refers to Hillary Clinton’s own missing emails, joking: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing.” That remark becomes the basis for accusations by Clinton and the media that Trump invited further hacking.
3. October: Podesta emails. In October, Wikileaks releases the emails of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, rolling out batches every day until the election, creating new mini-scandals. The Clinton campaign blames Trump and the Russians.
4. October: FISA request. The Obama administration submits a new, narrow request to the FISA court, now focused on a computer server in Trump Tower suspected of links to Russian banks. No evidence is found — but the wiretaps continue, ostensibly for national security reasons, Andrew McCarthy at National Review later notes. The Obama administration is now monitoring an opposing presidential campaign using the high-tech surveillance powers of the federal intelligence services.
5. January 2017: Buzzfeed/CNN dossier. Buzzfeed releases, and CNN reports, a supposed intelligence “dossier” compiled by a foreign former spy. It purports to show continuous contact between Russia and the Trump campaign, and says that the Russians have compromising information about Trump. None of the allegations can be verified and some are proven false. Several media outlets claim that they had been aware of the dossier for months and that it had been circulating in Washington.

Adams, a former Department of Justice official, agreed.
"That's exactly right," he said. "There's a big difference between 'ordered' and knowing everything else about it."
"If this happened," he explained, "folks need to understand, this is what the tactics of a police state are—to use intelligence gathering services against political opponents. If this happened, we've crossed a very dangerous line in America. It makes Watergate look like a joke." He reminded viewers that the "Watergate" scandal involved bugging the office of a secretary with 1950s-era hardware.
"Americans are going to learn what the Deep State is," Adams warned, "because that intelligence information about Mike Flynn, his conversations with the Russians...it got out into the Washington Post. That's exactly how it is working in a very dangerous fashion when intelligence operations are becoming political weapons." He added that this is all part of a deliberate campaign being engineered to "smear and delegitimize" President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and to hamstring the administration.
