FOX News host Sean Hannity went on the warpath against President Obama and Obama administration officials Valerie Jarrett, Ben Rhodes, and former senior advisor Dan Pfeiffer on Saturday.
Hannity grillied the three on the shocking revelations recently outlined by radio host Mark Levin and expanded on by Breitbart News that show that starting in June, 2016 the Obama administration filed requests with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court to monitor communications involving Donald Trump and several advisers.
On the eve of Inauguration Day, the New York Times reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Treasury Department were monitoring several associates of the Trump campaign on suspicion of “Russian ties.”
Hannity was having none of it on Saturday, blasting top Obama friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett, whom The Daily Mail recently reported is now living with the Obamas in their Washington D.C. mansion. Hannity made a reference to this in one his Tweets to Jarrett, saying:
Valerie, who asked for the FISA warrant and Y? What did OBAMA know and when did he know it? Maybe you can knock on his door and ask. https://t.co/fDbnwE3GYQ

Hannity followed that shot across the bow with a series of questions that the public has a right to know, peppering Jarrett like a skilled prosecutor:
Valerie did OBAMA have knowledge of the FISA warrant requests? Did you have knowledge of this? Ben Rhodes? Did the WH coordinate with anyone https://t.co/fDbnwE3GYQ

June 2016: FISA request. The Obama administration files a request with the FISA court to monitor communications involving Donald Trump– Y? https://t.co/fDbnwE3GYQ

That July request was denied. Then another FISA request was filed in October, no evidence was found but the wiretaps continued. Why Valerie? https://t.co/fDbnwE3GYQ

After a FISA request is first denied, then a second one is filed and no evidence is found, why did the Government of BHO keep surveillance? https://t.co/fDbnwE3GYQ
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) March 4, 2017
It looks like BHO, Ben Rhodes, Valerie and some in the intelligence community have a lot of explaining to do. Surveillance of Opposition? https://t.co/fDbnwE3GYQ
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) March 4, 2017
Did you, Obama, or anyone associated with the administration have a role in leaking the Buzzfeed/CNN dossier that we know had false info? https://t.co/fDbnwE3GYQ
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) March 4, 2017
Why with only 14 days left did OBAMA expand the power of the NSA to share intercepted personal communications with 16 other agencies? https://t.co/fDbnwE3GYQ
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) March 4, 2017
After going after Jarrett, Hannity set his sights on Ben Rhodes, former Obama speechwriter and foreign policy advisor.
You mean the 27 year olds that "know nothing" that you lied to? What did u, BHO, and Valerie know about FISA requests and when do you know? https://t.co/gRx1V8PypG
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) March 5, 2017
It's you Ben who needs to explain. You may need a good lawyer. https://t.co/B0vHHNiURI
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) March 5, 2017
Have you tried "bleach bit" like @HillaryClinton? https://t.co/B0vHHNiURI
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) March 5, 2017
Then Hannity set this sights on Dan Pfeiffer, a senior advisor to President Obama and a current contributor to CNN.
Dan what did you know about FISA requests to spy on an opposition candidate, and when did you know it? https://t.co/Bt4l2Mcm07
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) March 5, 2017
Finally, Hannity asked “the Watergate question” of the former President:
Mr President. What did you know about the FISA requests vs @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and when did you know it? https://t.co/95WvoHy0Qh
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) March 5, 2017
Democrats and the media have used accusations of Trump’s supposed connection to Russia to assail Trump for months, and since the President was sworn in, have continued to target administration officials such as Attorney General Jeff Sessions and General Michael Flynn, who was forced to resign after giving incorrect information, possibly inadvertently, to Vice President Pence. Meanwhile, the media has joined the attack, throwing out endless questions about Russia and Trump and his team, as well as allowing disgraced Democrat officials like Donna Brazile to use “Russian hacking” as an excuse and deflection from their own misdeeds.
When asked by Breitbart News for comment, Hannity said “I’ll let the Tweets speak for themselves.”
