President Trump said his much-criticized tweet that he was being watched by the Obama administration "is turning out to be true."
"My last tweet, you know the one that you are talking about perhaps, was the one about being in quotes, wiretapped, meaning surveilled. Guess what, it is turning out to be true," Trump said in an interview with the Financial Times.
Trump is likely referring to information viewed at the White House by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, which Nunes said indicated that Trump's associates, and possibly Trump himself, may have been caught up incidentally in surveillance conducted against foreigners.
GOWDY: Would National Security Adviser Susan Rice have access to an unmasked U.S. citizen’s name?
COMEY: I think any — yes, in general, and any other national security adviser would, I think, as a matter of their ordinary course of their business.

They may be measuring Ms Rice for fitting underneath the bus. Wonder how she will get paid for it, or whether her car will suddenly veer out of control remotely.
Would the "ordinary course of their business" include using the national security surveillance capabilities of the United States Government to collect information about the election opponents of their political party?
And with that one statement, President Trump has successfully rekindled this topic. I say good.
The mystery may slow Obama and Valerie Jarrett in their latest vanity obsession; ruining Trump’s presidency.
Let Obama stay on that tropical island a few more months and worry about coming back to the states.
“turning out to be true”
Surely, President Trump knew it to be true when he tweeted it!
it wasn’t true when he tweeted it ?
It was true but insider info. To the public it was a theory.
He’s also mocking Susan Rice for saying it was a lie the next day to the media.
I don't think it is possible for any Democrat — particularly a female Democrat, or an African-American Democrat — to be prosecuted for any national security crime, much less convicted of such a crime.
Any attempt to even investigate a high-ranking, senior female, A-A member of the previous administration will result in a total whitewash by the MSM-Democrats, and demonization of any Republican who is involved with the investigation in any way.
Stark, unmistakable evidence will not matter. Voice tapes of the person engaging in criminal activity of a national security nature will not matter. Any attempt to bring such materials into evidence would be attacked in dozens of ways, including questions of how they were obtained, how they were declassified, how they were edited or redacted, what surrounding "contextual" material was omitted or altered, the possibility that they are forged or constructed out of whole cloth will be asserted by the MSM-Democrats, screaming and caterwauling about the person's "fine record of academic excellence" will be asserted, and even members of the Republican party will come to that person's aid, and they will be featured on every MSM-Democrat outlet and news program.
In short, forget it.
People, don’t swallow that Susan Rice bone and walk off satisfied. IMHO, the bigger issue is the surveillance state in the US.
Sure it’s misconduct, and she should be jailed, but there are those, like the Aztecs, hope that one human sacrifice makes everyone go back to serving the State.
Trump should start rubbing salt in the wound by tweeting ‘Looks like someone ‘very high up’ ordered the unmasking- which by the way is a federal crime to commit- Very bad news for that person that we are finding out who it is”
Whoops there goes, another rubber tree plant!
That's what the Democrats and Media (but I repeat myself) will be attempting to claim—with a straight face—within the next few weeks...
adjustment, my tag rearranged itself
So, he is implying he didn’t actually believe it when he tweeted it?
Dire Straights opened for Tony Joe White when he toured Europe in the 70s. Knoffler, though much better, sounds a lot like T TJW.
I don’t believe there’s a drummer in the history of Rock and Roll that’s better than this guy. I’ve never heard a drummer hit so many beats. Sounds like a machine gun.
Awesome...
I agree. They’d make her take the fall if they had to, but they never will have to because the globalist cabal owns us totally and they demonize anyone who tries to tell the truth or save us.
I still hope Gd saves us. The truth will out. But it looks less likely. And I hate the country that has taken over the Constitutional United States of America. The gullible people who fall for their propaganda, and the globalist evil ones themselves. And of course their slavish media jackals. I hate them all.
If anyone can do it, its is Team Trump.
How many US elections have been stolen by RATs and the Deep State?
Maybe, just maybe, we will take back our country.
