I think they are actually trying to get Trump to step down before his inauguration. This is certainly ramping up quickly, though it may simply be a Hail Mary.

If so, it's worse than not working. He's digging his heels in. Doesn't take threats in the manner they for some mistaken reason expect. He issues his own in response, always has. Even a cursory "dossier" on the man would show this history.

At least it was turned down


The FISA court turned the request down, telling investigators they needed to narrow the request.

Turned down on scope of the request NOT PRINCIPLE...How convenient to have current administration spy on challenging party’s candidate—just claim a connection to Russia. Unbelievable.

Wonder if Obama did this with Mittens or any other pols.

Meanwhile, we keep having these lone-wolf shooters who always were on some list, but are never pre-empted before they hurt innocents...Hmm

Anyone who thinks not getting the warrant stopped them from going ahead and spying on the parties they named and everyone else close to him has to be nuts.

Every Intelligence and Law Enforcement arm of the government has been corrupted by the Clinton/Soros machine, count on it.

That's exactly why Trump set a trap for them by having a meeting no one but the attendees knew about. To judge just how completely the corruption has rotted the system.

I wonder how CNN intends to report this?
They're not reporting it so it must not be fake news. < /sarcasm >

Let’s have a CNN contemporary docu-drama about Watergate.

“Dirty tricks” are so yesterday.

This is why Comey will be replaced by Trump. So will Brennan and Clapper.

These men conducted treasonous activities against the People.
They need to be LONG GONE.

"FBI Officials with ties to the White House",
is what they always say when they want to talk about Nixon and Watergate.

They are relying on an inaccurate psychological profile they constructed on him.

He is far more mentally and emotionally agile than they realize even now. They will continue to be surprised by him.

The Democrats, working on behalf of Hillary’s campaign, tried very hard to make it look like Trump is in the Russians’ pockets (when, in fact, it was Hillary). They went so far as to investigate Trump for his supposed Russian ties.

I know this because there was a small article that was published a couple of weeks before the election, which quietly mumbled that a Democrat-ordered investigation of Trump for his “Russian ties” did not turn up anything.

The fact that the investigation went nowhere was not highly publicized, and now, it seems that the MSM and Democrats are completely ignoring the non-results of that investigation and going forward as if it had revealed that Trump had Hillary-levels of collusion with foreign governments.

The investigation itself was a gross misuse of government resources. Furthermore, the idea that the government can, with impunity, investigate anyone just because they pose a threat to the political power mongers should scare everyone.

I need to dig up that article about the investigation that went nowhere. I have no doubt the intent of the investigation was to produce material that the Dems could use as an October surprise. However, it seems that Trump has no skeletons in his closet that are surprise-worthy.

They need a refund from whomever constructed it, then. Incompetent. Even a casual observer could predict the reaction they're getting.

I think it was initially planned just to counterbalance Hillary’s own problems vis-a-vis Russia, and then it snowballed. It’s gotten thoroughly ridiculous but they can’t back down because their own supporters, financial as well as political, have lost there ever-loving minds and are trying to prevent Trump from being inaugurated. If this is so, it’s only going to get more bizarre from here.
