Discussion: Senators Ask DOJ, FBI For Info On Trump's Wiretapping Charge

ā€œWe would be equally alarmed to learn that a court found enough evidence of criminal activity or contact with a foreign power to legally authorize a wiretap of President Trump, the Trump Campaign, or Trump Tower."

Well, if that doesnā€™t highlight the double-edged sword Trump hung over his head with nothing but a thread to hold it up, then I donā€™t know what does.

Sure, you can take that statement as ā€œermahgerd, it would be shocking to find a court make such a horrible decisionā€, but of course, what if the evidence supported it? Eh?

Trump opened up Pandoraā€™s Boxā€¦ON HIMSELF.

Trump spent 5 years claiming Obama was from Kenya and not American enough to be POTUS. He never offered a shred of proof and in the end was proven wrong. Later he was elected to succeed Obama. Whatā€™s to stop him from irresponsible acts if heā€™s rewarded for them.

Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) asked the FBI on Wednesday for information on the possible wiretapping of President Donald Trump, his campaign or Trump Tower.

WTF??

Wasnā€™t this all supposed to have been obfuscated by Putinā€™s directive that Wikileaks release all that alleged CIA nothingness? This is not Monday dammit, itā€™s Wednesday, pay attention!

I know heā€™s this stupid and I know he was really angry, but he didnā€™t just step in dog poo with this - he jumped into a whole pile of it with both feet.

Maybe this whole presidentinā€™ thing is too hard for him because heā€™s actually expected to go to work and do work instead of just fucking around.

This could also explain why heā€™s not taking press questions any more.

When you canā€™t tell true from false, and you canā€™t tell fact from alt-fact, and you canā€™t tell reality from imagination, and you donā€™t even care that you canā€™t tell those differences, you probably also canā€™t tell classified from unclassified.

This really looks like the so-called president opened the Trump Door all by himself without realizing the consequences, and that now gives cover to everyone in Congress to do this investigation right, even all those squeamish Republican weasels. It doesnā€™t matter any more if they would have asked for it themselves, because Trump asked for it.

Maybe too good to be true ā€¦ or maybe the way this thing always had to end.

Why CANā€™T somebody wiretap SOMETHING in Trump Tower? Itā€™s not like the Donald owns the whole building and not everyone that rents there is his ā€˜friendā€™ or ā€˜associateā€™. If it turns out that someone in the Tower was tapped does that somehow vindicate Trump? Really?

The article says:

Graham and Whitehouse wrote to the acting deputy attorney general and the FBI director that ā€œ[c]ongress must get to the bottom of President Trumpā€™s recent allegation that President Obama wiretapped President Trumpā€™s phones during the 2016 election. The White House agrees.ā€

So, if the investigation shows that 45 made the accusation of felonious conduct by former President Obama intentionally or recklessly without any evidence showing that the accusation had evidentiary support, is this sufficient to impeach him?

Yes, please.

Did the White House comment on the Whitehouse request regarding the White House comment, or did Whitehouse even request a White House comment on the Whitehouse request regarding the White House comment?

The real question here, and I personally am dying over the suspense, is how long are they all going to take a bullet for him? Donā€™t any of these geniuses realize that the Republican who finally says ā€œEnoughā€ will be the hero? I guess next year is too far away ā€¦
