Watch this story get buried? Born in Israel, age 35, working at the Washington Post for about two years, while living in an up-scale (6 figure) neighborhood, who decides to play "Robo Cop"?
An IT engineer employed by the Washington Post was arrested last month for allegedly impersonating an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, and trying to enforce laws.
SWAT Raids Home of Armed WashPost Employee Posing as ICE Agent

Itai Ozderman, 35, who currently lives in Maryland, is accused of dressing as an ICE agent, complete with bulletproof vest with the ICE logo, in Falls Church, Virginia, on multiple occasions.
When a SWAT team raided his home on February 22, they discovered body armor, tactical vests, ammunition, and 10 weapons, including several handguns, rifles, and a shotgun. He also had a Baltimore County Police Department badge and a fully-functioning police radio.
Ozderman was born in Israel and has never worked for ICE, or any police department, according to the Department of Homeland Security. He had been working at the Washington Post for approximately two years, and was previously at a software company. It is unclear when he moved to the United States.
"All we have to share is that we are aware of the story and looking into it," Washington Post Director of Communications Shani George told ABC7 News on Monday.
Ozderman has been charged in Montgomery County with impersonating an officer and transporting a handgun in a vehicle. It is likely that the case will be handed over to the FBI, however.
If the case stays in local courts, the suspect faces up to five years in prison and/or $4,500 in fines.
Ozderman was released on bail the same day he was arrested, and is scheduled to appear in court again in April.
The Gallup claims that Trump’s maiden address to Congress helped push confidence in the US economy to the highest level in nine years of weekly polls.
Trump Address to Congress Pushes US Economic Confidence to Nine-Year High

US President Donald Trump’s maiden address to Congress helped push confidence in the US economy to the highest level in nine years of weekly polls, the Gallup said in a press release.
"Last week was an eventful one for the US economy," the release stated on Tuesday. "Trump, meanwhile, commanded a large national audience, and his speech likely helped spark the stock market's record-setting performance the next day."
Gallup bases its index on two questions that it has asked weekly since 2008: how Americans rate current economic conditions and whether they feel the economy is improving or getting worse, the release explained.
The index has a theoretical maximum of "plus 100" if everyone surveyed says that the economy is doing well and improving.
Following Trump’s speech to Congress on February 28, the Gallup index doubled from "plus 8" to a record "plus 16," the release said.
The release also noted the stock market rally the following day, with the Dow Jones industrial average closing above 21,000 for the first time in its history.
Either this is an incredible coincidence or, more likely, Bill and Hillary Clinton were in on monitoring President Donald Trump and some of his advisers.
Coincidence or were the Clintons in on Communications Monitoring of Trump & His Advisers

Bill Clinton met secretly with then Attorney General Loretta Lynch at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on June 27, 2016. This occurred around the same time the Obama administration filed a request with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to monitor communications involving Donald Trump and several advisers.
DC Whispers reported on Sunday:
Today (Sunday) Obama operatives were out in full force, as predicted, spinning deflection to a compliant Mainstream Media. The gist of this deflection was that Obama would NEVER (knowingly) order wire taps on a political opponent and that President Trump’s recent accusations regarding that possibility are beyond the pale.
Even as those denials are being voiced, though, an Obamagate timeline is forming.
Late yesterday, reports began to circulate that the source of the Trump wire tap was initiated by former Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch. The same Loretta Lynch who met privately inside a government plane with former President Bill Clinton at the very same time the FBI was investigating then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
According to the timeline provided by The Conservative Treehouse, here’s how things break down.
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.
Interestingly enough, the request submitted by the Obama administration was denied. However, as Wikileaks released Clinton campaign chair John Podesta’s emails during the 2016 campaign, the Obama administration submitted another narrowed request to the FISA court that targeted a computer server in Trump Tower, which they claimed were linked to Russian banks.
There is no doubt that the Obama administration was behind the wiretaps at Trump Tower. The question now is, was Bill and then presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, as well as then Attorney General Loretta Lynch in on it? If Hillary was in on it, then we are looking at the same type of deep criminal corruption we have seen out of every one of these people we have come to expect, and Trump needs to keep his promise to bring some justice on Hillary Clinton.
The FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance) Court is in the news this weekend after President Trump tweeted that former President Obama had petitioned a court twice in order to wire tap current President Trump when he was running for office.
Attorney General Lynch Signed Off on ALL FISA Applications to WireTap Trump
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/03/draft-report-attorney-general-lynch-signed-off-on-fisa-applications-to-wiretap-president-trump/
In his first tweet President Trump tweeted:
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017
He next tweeted:
Is it legal for a sitting President to be “wire tapping” a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!

The FISA Court was put in place in 1978 when Congress enacted the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA):
The Court sits in Washington D.C., and is composed of eleven federal district court judges who are designated by the Chief Justice of the United States. Each judge serves for a maximum of seven years and their terms are staggered to ensure continuity on the Court. By statute, the judges must be drawn from at least seven of the United States judicial circuits, and three of the judges must reside within 20 miles of the District of Columbia. Judges typically sit for one week at a time, on a rotating basis.
Pursuant to FISA, the Court entertains applications submitted by the United States Government for approval of electronic surveillance, physical search, and other investigative actions for foreign intelligence purposes. Most of the Court’s work is conducted ex parte as required by statute, and due to the need to protect classified national security information.
Every single judge on the FISA Court as of today was appointed during Obama’s Presidency!
Five of the current eleven judges on the court are scheduled to be on the court for President Trump’s entire first term with six of the judges’ terms expiring before January 2021. Seven of the judges are scheduled into the year 2020.
Current Chief Justice John Roberts has been in his role since 2005 and therefore he has appointed all the judges to the FISA court. Judge Roberts is famous for supporting Obamacare in two radical positions, one of which Justice Antonin Scalia, in his withering dissent, refered to as “applesauce”. Knowing this, it is concerning that Judge Roberts also is responsible for the makeup of the current FISA court.
Only two in over 10,000 applications were turned down by the FISA Court.
According to ABC News:
More than a thousand applications for electronic surveillance, all signed by the attorney general, are submitted each year, and the vast majority are approved. From 2009 to 2015, for example, more than 10,700 applications for electronic surveillance were submitted, and only one was denied in its entirety, according to annual reports sent to Congress. Another one was denied in part, and 17 were withdrawn by the government.
According to ABC, all applications to the FISA Court were signed off on by the Attorney General and therefore if any applications were processed in the past year, they were signed off on by Loretta Lynch. This means that
Lynch signed off on any requests for wire tapping President Donald Trump during the Presidential race. is disheartening knowing that she released a video over the weekend calling for the need for more marching, blood and death on the streets.
This also means that she chose not to investigate the Clinton Foundation for illegal activities but rather signed an application to wire tap President Trump.
Finally, another very disturbing fact about the wire tapping request of President Trump is that
the FISA Court turned down President Obama’s Administration’s first request to wire tap President Trump that was evidently signed off on by Attorney General Lynch. With only two applications denied out of 10,700 from 2009 through 2015, the fact that the Obama Administration’s application was denied by the FISA Court is very disturbing. The odds of this happening were 0.02%.
The Obama Presidency is now arguably the most corrupt in US history.
