People, one text from Lisa Page on September 2, 2016 saying "potus wants to know everything we're doing" doesn't mean that Obama knew every single detail contemporaneously. That's just not how it works with these agencies. Don't take a cartoonish view of the security state.

Strzok on August 5th 2016: "the White House is running this". That quote was made by a yet unknown to the public, participant in a high level meeting. Obama NSC? https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/05/strzok-page-texts-trump-russia-investigation-origins/ …pic.twitter.com/IC0fNevrTM

Irrelevant, he was the chief of the executive branch and is responsible. What's worse than knowingly using the intelligence/counterintelligence apparatus against a political opponent, is not having the managerial structures in place to prevent it. Either way is an affront.

See, sometimes you make sense, and at others you throw common sense out the window. He doesn’t need to know every detail about it. That’s a glib argument. He just needs to sign off on the main idea of spying on his opponent.

Hillary Clinton most certainly do. She was secretary of state, worked closely with CIA.

Well, according to the text messages from Sztrok and Page, he did know. I have a hard time believing he didn’t know.

...but they all shared the same goal! So one would assume that they would want to communicate with each other, to compare notes & not waste time on something that has already been investigated! 1 agency could have been in communications w/Obama, and sharing the progress of all!

I would be stunned if Obama didn’t know early in the process. Yes, these are big bureaucracies, but they are full of political appointees that would know immediately how serious running a counterintel op on an opposition party would be if discovered. Obama had to know early.

He certainly knew that Clinton had her own private server. There's no telling what crimes were hidden.

I'd like to believe that... but I'm reminded of stuff like this that was done as the former President was exiting office:https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/01/obama-expanding-nsa-powers/513041/ …

He may have allowed the sharing to make leaks harder to trace. Leaks were a big part of the strategy.
