Trumpâs claims are bollocks, Devin. Move on! âNo FISA warrant THAT I AM AWARE OFâ is not moving on. Itâs leaving the door open for more alt-right bullshit.
This guy is such a weasel.
No, but depending on whose Twitter feed you believe, Comey be bringinâ the pain to Trump & his cabal of Russian stooges as soon as all the ends are tied up.
Dear Republicans,
The word you are looking for is âLIEâ. The President is a âLIARâ.
English is such a great language, to have actual words for what is happening, please use them.
Luvs,
America
Youâre right, but his answer is probably the best you can expect from a Trump goon.
What this does though is basically leave Trump on an island all alone with Sean Spicer as his boy Friday.
Heâs been slapped hard by our IC, by the British IC, by Democrats and the media. And even Republican leaders are sidling towards the door. Not only that, even Sessions, his own corrupt AG has left him hanging.
One of Trumpâs fatal flaws being an absolute inability to apologize or bear responsibility, I believe this wonât end well for him. After all, he even threw Fox News under the bus the other day. Even authoritarians need some friendsâŚheâs driving everyone away.
Nunes is right. They didnât tapp the Tower.
However, the FISA warrants for surveilling Sessions, Manafort, Stone, Flynn, Page, Sater, Millian, Kislyak et al. are another matter entirely.
True that. Once people start talking to save their own asses heâll quickly discover his stooges have as much loyalty to him as he does to them; i.e. NONE. ZERO. ZIP. NADA. NIL. âŚ
Operative phrase: âthat Iâm aware of.â Left that door open.
Comey is up tomorrow and I donât expect anything too revealing except he may state that Trump relied on an unreliable source? It is unlikely that Comey would pronounce the President a liar. Will he doubt Trumpâs credibility? Maybe but it will be very lawyerly.
âTrump has maintained his claims that President Barack Obamaâs administration âwire tappedâ his phones at Trump Tower despite a lack of evidence.â
PolitiFact gives higher âTruth-O-Meterâ ratings to Baghdad Bob.
The House hearings arenât the ones to watch, really. The hearings in the Senate will be.
Whatâs outrageous is Nunes has kept trying to characterize incidental interception as directly targeted interception and turn it around against IC. Heâs an idiot if he doesnât know the difference, and heâs a despicable liar and traitor if he intentionally mischaracterizes and misleads.
Either way, even what little we know from what is publicly available seem to suggest there is quite a bit of incidental collection, that Trumpophile realizes it and might have something to worry about his work for the transition team as well.
He either does the patriotic thing and seeks the truth wherever it may lead, or he is a traitor and needs to be removed from office. His duty is to defend the country, and to uphold our constitution, not to obstruct justice for the purpose of advancing a partisan legislative agenda. Heâs got to be hit smack dab in the face with threat of own impeachment (by ballot box) if he fails in his duty as public servant.
He has Bannon and Mercer⌠nothing like a couple of authoritarian (and incompetent) scorpions left in your corner.
This Mercer family has to have some illegal skeletons. The press should be going after them hard.
Shill has to be able to save shill and cover position.
Nearly nary a mention of the Mercers (Dad and daughter) in the press, let alone serious digging around. Hell very little mention of how much money Bannon was paid, by Mercer (million or so if I recall correctly) while Bannon was working full time (and paid by) the campaign. Some serious stench leeches out from that corner.
Why is time, energy, taxpayerâs money and even news space being wasted on this ridiculous Trump charge of being wiretapped instead of the real issue - the Russian interference in our elections to hurt Hillary and help Trump.
If it somehow made Trump voters finally realize their mango-tinted hero is a delusional liar it might serve a purpose, but it wonât. As he himself noted, he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose support.
Since TPM isnât covering thisâŚEPA grants Flynt 100 million dollars.
