Watergate is a child’s prank compared to what is going on right now. I would bet that the NSA/CIA has the every square inch of the Whitehouse and it’s communication systems under surveillance and is the source of all of the info coming out. Trump needs to go to congress right now and demand that they back him on finding out what is going on with these agencies and that they be prepared to act accordingly.
The forces that Obama allowed to take over this country the last 8 years are very dark and powerful and they are thick in the walls of Washington and the Whitehouse. And yes, Bush and many of the Republicans are equally culpable in the rise of these forces either through ignorance or their own lust for power.
I do not think any one man is strong enough to overcome these forces alone. But who can Trump trust? I don’t know. What can we do to help? Try to give him reliable honest people in congress and let him know he has our support to plow ahead regardless of how daunting things appear.
The authoritarian elites believe that they are entitled to their power, constitution be damned, and they have no moral compunction against destroying the world before they will turn it over to common people. Because to the elites, the world only exists due to their graciousness. And you and I are only allowed to live in peace and comfort as long as we accept and support their authority. Otherwise there will be hell to pay. And they are in the process of ripping apart the very fabric of this country to make sure we are feeling that right now. “How dare we reject them”
Look, the source of the leak was probably Sally Yates. She knew about the Flynn call and notified the White House weeks ago according to the media reports.
