Obama denies Trump claim he wiretapped him during campaign

[lostlink]

This is a hoot. For more than six months the mainstream anti Trump press has been suggesting that there was  collusion between Trump and Russia based on unnamed intelligence sources. Trump tweets he has been spied on and now the same press is trying to discount that fact.

You should learn the difference between facts and allegations.  That Trump said he was spied on  by orders from Obama is a fact. That he was spied upon on orders from Obama is an allegation unsupported by any real evidence.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway also made a TV appearance Monday morning, speaking on "Fox and Friends," and was asked how Trump knew Obama tapped his phones.

"He's the President of the United States," Conway said. "He has information and intelligence that the rest of us do not."

Not only that, he has information and intelligence that the intelligence community hasn't got.  

I believe he's created a new government agency: The Department of Wishful Thinking

I didn't make it through the entire thing, it was so repetitive there didn't seem to be any point.  Levin is outraged that the FBI and other agencies investigated links between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.  He isn't concerned about possible Russian interference in the election, he's only upset that the investigation occurred during the election.  He also doesn't present any evidence that anything illegal was done, to the contrary he presents evidence that proper procedures were followed during the investigation.

 

Finally, he doesn't present any evidence that Trump himself was wired tapped.  But that isn't important to him, apparently he thinks the FBI has no business investigating possible illegal links between a presidential candidate and a hostile foreign power.  Somehow I think that if the FBI had investigated links between the Clinton campaign and a foreign government his attitude would have been different.

Let me see if I've got this right.

Last week Trump was blasting the media for citing anonymous sources in their stories about him. This week, Trump accuses Obama of snooping on him, relying on sketchy stories from news outlets that cite - wait for it - anonymous sources.

I hope they have removed all the sharp objects and breakables from the Oval Office.

Comey Asks Justice Dept. to Reject Trump’s Wiretapping Claim

 

"WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trump’s assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trump’s phones, senior American officials said on Sunday."

 

"Mr. Comey, who made the request on Saturday after Mr. Trump leveled his allegation on Twitter, has been working to get the Justice Department to knock down the claim because it falsely insinuates that the F.B.I. broke the law, the officials said."

 

"Mr. Comey’s request is a remarkable rebuke of a sitting president, putting the nation’s top law enforcement official in the position of questioning Mr. Trump’s truthfulness."

The evidence is the FISA order. There is a paper trail that Trump was wire tapped and nothing was found to link Trump to Russia.

Now let's investigate Obama's wire tapping.

The Democrats are OFFICIALLY DONE after this. GAME OVER.

We're talking about indictments of the former sitting President and his staff.

No , that is merely wishfull thinking from narrow minded hypocrites.

The dangerous rage of Donald Trump

This feels like a cycle that is going to keep repeating itself. Anger, release, anger. The issue is that Trump's “release” mechanism is getting more and more dangerous. If he's offering (so far) unfounded allegations about being wiretapped by the former president less than two months into his tenure, what will he be saying in a year's time when something provokes him to anger?

He's a far right nut-job radio show host with not much credibility.  Attorney or not.  There are dozens of journalists trying to find any info this happened.  None have been able to.  A conspiracy theory at it's worst.  Pure click bait.  And it seemed to have worked!  Sadly....

Obama and the administration was completely within it's right to investigate Trump, and his underlings, for their contacts with Russia. This was a national security matter. One thing Levin and his ilk do not want to discuss was why there was such repeated contact with the Russians. They are no friend of the US. In some countries this level of contact with a nation with such bad intentions might be considered treasonous. But, not here. His camp always want to turn everything into a conspiracy, and a threat against them and their wonderful intentions.

Possibly paranoid schizophrenic, or a neuro developmental (intellectual disability of some sort) disorder, impulse control disorder (Impulse-control disorders are those that involve an inability to control emotions and behaviors, resulting in harm to oneself or others. These problems with emotional and behavioral regulation are characterized by actions that violate the rights of others such as destroying property or physical aggression and/or those that conflict with societal norms, authority figures, and laws), or simply a pathological nature. Regardless, a really good shrink needs to prescribe some powerful meds, and he needs to do it fast!

Those meds are expensive.  I hope he has a good insurance plan.  Maybe it's not too late for Trump to enroll in Obamacare.

CORRECTION: White House spokesman says almost certain (not certain) Trump has not spoken to FBI Director Comey about wiretapping accusations.

 

 

Thanks for clearing that up.

[boomerangutang]

          From the same dufus who hounded Obama for 5 years about not being an American, and therefore not being a legitimate prez.  And we're surprised he's making up aspersions every other day?

 

          Yesterday, Mika from MSNBC put it clearly; "How can anyone trust what this White House says?"

 

 

         If the N.Koreans launched missiles at Anchorage and Fairbanks this evening, US defense forces might not even notice before it was too late - everyone is so distracted by the hogwash coming out of Trump's tweet account.  

 

 

[heybruce]

There is an excellent article in Foreign Policy Magazine about this ( https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-knows-feds-closing-him-221816189.html ) that ends with:

 

"There is a good reason why Trump and his partisans are so apoplectic about the prospect of a special counsel, and it is precisely why it is imperative to appoint one: because otherwise we will never know the full story of the Kremlin’s tampering with our elections and of the Kremlin’s connections with the president of the United States. As evidenced by his desperate attempts to change the subject, Trump appears petrified of what such a probe would reveal. Wonder why? "

 

Trump isn't being entirely irrational, he's desperately trying to change the story.  Or, at the very least, bog Congress down with so many investigations it can't do a competent job on any of them.  However his unsubstantiated "Obama had me wiretapped!" claim serves to bring the spotlight back onto links between the Russians and the Trump campaign that need to be investigated.

GOP refuses to back Trump's wiretap claim

 

"President Donald Trump will have to look somewhere besides Republican-controlled Capitol Hill for backup to his explosive and unsubstantiated charge that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower before the election."

 

"Trump was reportedly incensed Sunday that Republicans didn’t defend his allegations on the Sunday shows — in fact, several pointedly refused to lend Trump a lifeline when pressed. And more than 48 hours after the initial allegation, Republicans in Congress remained mostly mum as the controversy flared and threatened to create a lingering distraction for them as they try to pass major legislation in the coming weeks."

The right & main-stream media starts screaming about "Evidence", yet have failed to produce a shred of evidence that the Russians affected the outcome of the election.

 

If former President Obama DID do what President Trump is saying, he needs to be in Leavenworth.

It's "The seriousness of the charge".

 

We have to investigate!

 

The left has been doing it for 50 years or more!

 

The new President has barely been in office 6 or 7 weeks & the left is LOSING their MINDS!...(Not that they had much to begin with).
