But do you notice that we are all talking about this nonsense rather than Sessions' lies and the numerous Russian connections Trump has including Sessions? BINGO! Now you see the real intent of these dumb ass tweets.
I don't believe for a minute that Obama ordered Trump's premises to be tapped, and I never have - he's not stupid. However I do find it entirely plausible that he looked the other way and pretended not to hear when it was suggested by his minions. In fact, I find it more than plausible . . . I'd be surprised if they did not suggest it, and if he did not let it happen.
But that is exactly what Trump has and is still saying. For the last time, the White House has no ability to order wiretapping. Your argument makes no sense. If someone who worked directly for Obama asked to have Trump wiretapped, to what end? Where is the information coming from the Obama Administration that was gleaned from those supposed wiretaps? Why direct your "minions" to wiretap someone and then never use what you've learned? Again, no matter what you try to pivot to, Trump is still saying that Obama wiretapped him and is directly comparing Obama to Watergate and Nixon. There is no proof offered by Trump or any credible group that any wiretaps ever happened. I know that this will eventually devolve into another Reich-wing unsubstantiated talking point that will be used as a rallying cry for the uneducated trump supporting rubes. That is all that really matters in the end, not the truth. Thanks for play your part so well.
Thanks for assuming that your opposition is uneducated. My professors, mentors and co-workers would all really appreciate that! As for pivoting . . . your refusal to acknowledge the plausibility of Obama tacitly allowing wiretapping to occur, while withholding any explicit instruction, points to your blind devotion to a man who has challenged the law on so many fronts in the past, yet escaped with his skin. People who live that way eventually wear out their luck and die that way. Penance for Obama's meddling ways is coming . . . it's only a matter of time.
There certainly is blind devotion going on here. The guy asking for any kind of proof of your and of course Trump's accusations is still waiting for a better answer than wild conspiracy theories and false accusations. The guy providing absolutely no proof of his or his president's accusations does seem blindly devoted to a man that seems to have no grip whatsoever on reality. I also believe that there will be a penance to pay. I just think that is is your liar-in-chief that will pay in the end. What will you do then? Cling to your wild conspiracies like those who supported Hitler clung to their beliefs once he was exposed as a murderous maniac? I'm sure you will. Ideologues are fairly predictable.
You seem to forget that I am no great fan of Donald Trump . . . it's just that I am more a believer in Obama's willingness to break the law.
If you voted for Trump, you own him now. By any objective measure, I don' t mean phony Reich-winger accusations, Obama is still the least scandal-ridden president in modern history. So your beliefs are as unfounded in reality as Trump's are. But I guess they say that some people just wanna believe. Screw reality and facts.
You got that wrong . . . he's the least scandal-exposed president, perhaps, but I'm not sure he can even enjoy that distinction. Now that he's no longer able to direct the efforts of the agencies that shielded him, more will surely out.
Proof that obama likes to bug people. Is it really too far fetched that he bugged Trump Tower? Not at all... In fact, I believe Donald Trump over someone like obama who is a known liar and an anti-Constitutionalist. After all the lies obama told us and the times he over-stepped his bounds as president, there's no way on earth I'm going to believe him. Only fools would believe obama, at this point. Here’s the List: More Than a Dozen Proven Victims of Obama’s Many Wiretaps March 5, 2017 THIS IS NOW BEING REFERRED TO AS OBAMAGATE! It is not unfounded that former President Obama would wire tap President Trump during the election process. This is because he has done this before. Here is a list of individuals who were wire tapped by the Obama Administration. WikiLeaks released the following list on February 23rd (see link here) of Obama Administration wire taps: * The US National Security Agency bugged a private climate change strategy meeting; between UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin; * Obama bugged Chief of Staff of UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for long term interception targetting his Swiss phone; * Obama singled out the Director of the Rules Division of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Johann Human, and targetted his Swiss phone for long term interception; * Obama stole sensitive Italian diplomatic cables detailing how Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu implored Italy’s Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to help patch up his relationship with US President Barack Obama, who was refusing to talk to Netanyahu; * Obama intercepted top EU and Japanese trade ministers discussing their secret strategy and red lines to stop the US “extort[ing]” them at the WTO Doha arounds (the talks subsequently collapsed); * Obama explicitly targeted five other top EU economic officials for long term interception, including their French, Austrian and Belgium phone numbers; * Obama explicitly targetted the phones of Italy’s ambassador to NATO and other top Italian officials for long term interception; and * Obama intercepted details of a critical private meeting between then French president Nicolas Sarkozy, Merkel and Berluscon, where the latter was told the Italian banking system was ready to “pop like a cork”. In addition to the above list we also know now that Obama wire tapped various individuals in the US media that were reporting information not flattering to the Obama Administration. It is widely known that Obama’s Justice Department targeted journalists with wiretaps in 2013: * In 2013 the liberal Washington Post expressed outrage after the revelation that the Justice Department had investigated the newsgathering activities of a Fox News reporter as a potential crime in a probe of classified leaks. The reporter, Fox News’ James Rosen and his family, were part of an investigation into government officials anonymously leaking information to journalists. Rosen was not charged but his movements and actions were tracked. * Also in 2013, members of the Associated Press were also a target of the surveillance. The ultra liberal New Yorker even noted that “In moderate and liberal circles, at least, the phone-records scandal, partly because it involves the dear old A.P. and partly because it raises anew the specter of Big Brother, may well present the most serious threat to Obama’s reputation.” * Reporter Sharyl Attkisson said in 2014 that her personal computer and CBS laptop were hacked after she began filing stories about Benghazi that were unflattering to the Obama administration. A source who checked her laptop said the hacker used spyware “proprietary to a government agency,” according to an article in the New York Post. Update – WikiLeaks tweeted overnight that the Obama Administration spied on their journalists as well:
Trump refuses to supply any sort of rationale, proof, or justification for his accusation against the former President of the United States but demands that the allegations he made be investigated. McCarthyism? Oh yeah! This is the textbook definition of McCarthyism. McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence. Dictionary.com provides the following additional definition: the practice of making unfair allegations or using unfair investigative techniques, especially in order to restrict dissent or political criticism.
