Right wing punditry currently wants to try President Obama for the non-existent wiretapping he didn't order. Hannity had a meltdown over it. This wouldn't matter except that this is where plenty of people get their news and this is how narratives get created.


Obama has basically been on vacation and dancing at concerts. You know some thing's wrong when they start attacking him again. They could just stop lying??? It's not illegal to meet with Russians; it is illegal to lie about it under oath.

his tweets were based off a speculative piece by a conservative pundit which itself was based off a month old Guardian piece that we previously posted here. it was discussing the FISA court rejection of a 'wiretap' in July, but a narrower one regarding banks was approved in october.

there's nothing to investigate because it's all batshit crazy conspiracy stuff from Trump. he read a printed out breitbart or gateway pundit piece and got a tweetin'; the WH went silent for half a day to figure out a way out of it and then the Communications team put that out that they will not comment further on 'reports'.

it's just all bullshit. i'm going on a mini rant now. if you're a liberal i'd advise that it is best to not follow people like Louise Mensch who are just making people look bad and passing around mindless speculation. don't fall for the liberal side of this bullshit storm and focus on the obvious stuff right in front of our face (the lying, the conflicts of interest, the devolving of government,congress doing nothing). the truth is more than enough; we don't need to 'go low' and fall into conspiracy. there's simply too much real shit out there.

He's easily influenced.

Attacking Obama takes attention away from real story and plays to the base.

How long before his handlers just start placing things on Fox News knowing he'll go tweet about it. He's a puppet and is too dumb to know it.

Unbelievable...Huckabee's daughter pretty much just came out on THIS WEEK now on ABC that Trump just basically reacted to Mark Levin, Breitbart and Fox which was the reason for the Saturday morning wire-tap tweet..he has no evidence and just wants an investigation...

Why do the American people stand for this?

Barack Obama's master plan:
1) Wiretap the opposition
2) Gather damaging info
3) Say nothing
4) Let him win
5) Ride off into the sunset

Greenwald has figured out who is at fault for Trump tweets and all the nonsense surrounding them: Democrats with their red baiting!

Nunes is going to investigate the President. PRESIDENT OBAMA

Breitbart cited the Trump tweet (created because he read Breitbart) as evidence.

Bannon just wants to burn it all down and the GOP is going to let him do it because it will get them their regulation-free utopia where the poor and middle class pay for everything.

Make no mistake, rank and file republicans are to blame. The constitution was set up for the congress to provide a check on the presidency and they are doing nothing.

That's not what Nunes said.

"One of the focus points of the House Intelligence Committee's investigation is the U.S. government's response to actions taken by Russian intelligence agents during the presidential campaign," Nunes said in a statement Sunday. "As such, the Committee will make inquiries into whether the government was conducting surveillance activities on any political party's campaign officials or surrogates, and we will continue to investigate this issue if the evidence warrants it."


I don't understand why you'd have a problem with that statement. If there were taps on people within the Trump campaign, that would be because they were able to obtain permission from the FISA court to do so. It doesn't seem that this is the case, but if it was true this would be really bad for Trump. Think Lindsey Graham sort of summed up the gravity of Trump's claims well yesterday.



But since he seems to have just gotten it from Breitbart and there likely isn't any there there, it will lead nowhere.

We've reached the point where Lindsey Graham is the voice of reason.

I am reminded of the scene in Saving Private Ryan where Captain Miller (played by Tom Hanks) says:

"Sergeant, we have crossed some strange boundary here. The world has taken a turn for the surreal."
Jamie

"A man who tells lies . . . merely hides the truth. But a man who tells half-lies has forgotten where he put it."

Roger Stone got drunk on Twitter last night and admitted he had a backdoor channel to Assange/Wikileaks.

Comey asked the Justice Dept. to put out a statement publicly rebuking Trump's wiretap claim. They have not done so yet.
