You mean, Trump was right, wiretaps PROVEN!

I should be used to it by now, but it's still weird to see not just a different spin, but a different story.

The details of the story are so damning & don't fit this narrative at all. Amazing if/when they try to push it.

The wiretaps PREDATE him working for Trump. And were legally obtained.

and there was a FISA warrant and wiretap in place for much of the past 2-3 years. Yikes.

Hey Bernie, How Will We Pay for Your Plan? Las Vegas Review-Journal

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher said someone leaked information about his call this week with White House chief of staff John Kelly, possibly to undermine his ability to speak directly with President Trump about WikiLeaks.

The Republican congressman from California spoke with Kelly on Wednesday regarding his recent meeting with WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange in London, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday evening, and broached a possible trade.

Rohrabacher reportedly used the word "deal" in his conversation with Kelly and said Assange would get a pardon or "something like that" in exchange for information files on a data-storage device showing that Russia did not hack Democratic emails that WikiLeaks published last year during the 2016 campaign.

"He would get nothing, obviously, if what he gave us was not proof," Rohrabacher told Kelly, according to the Journal.

Rohrabacher said after his August meeting with Assange that WikiLeaks could disprove the conclusion of U.S. spy agencies that Russia was responsible for hacking Democratic emails, and that he would seek a meeting with Trump to discuss the information.

In a dramatic exchange in her home town of San Francisco, Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) appeared at an event designed to call on Congress to immediately pass the Dream Act, bipartisan legislation that would enshrine legal protections for hundreds of thousands of “dreamers” into law. But after Pelosi spoke, about 40 protesters walked up to the front of the room and started shouting, taking over an event where Lee, Huffman and other activists had yet to speak.

She had just recounted to the crowd details of a dinner meeting last week with Trump and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) where they discussed crafting an agreement that would couple the Dream Act with unspecified plans to bolster security along the U.S.-Mexico border. The deal would allow the roughly 700,000 people enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program to stay in the country after the program ends in early March. Trump pulled the plug on the Obama-era program last month, calling on Congress to make the legal protections permanent by law.

sigh, i get where they're coming from but a protest like this doesn't really help much IMO. perhaps i'm wrong but it looks like they're shouting her down instead of letting her respond.

Sen. Pat Roberts, Republican from Kansas, said everyone is aware this is the last shot. "We'd like to do something and something's better than nothing"

"He's (Cassidy) the grave robber," Thune said. "This thing was six feet under and I think he's revived it to the point where there's actually a lot of positive buzz and forward momentum"
