Trump says he will submit evidence of wiretapping to House committee 'very soon'
Fox News ^ | March 15, 2017 | none stated

Posted on 03/16/2017 12:24:55 PM PDT by Texas Fossil

President Trump discussed his tweeted accusation that President Obama ordered "wires" at Trump Tower tapped during last year's presidential campaign in an exclusive interview with Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Wednesday.

Trump told host Tucker Carlson that the administration "will be submitting things" to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence "very soon." The president added that he "will be, perhaps speaking about this next week" and predicted that "you’re going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next 2 weeks."

When asked by Carlson why he tweeted about the alleged phone tap before producing evidence, Trump said his definition of wiretapping "covers a lot of different things."

"That really covers surveillance and many other things," he said. "Nobody ever talks about the fact that [the words 'wires tapped'] was in quotes [in the tweet], but that’s a very important thing."

They are all lining up to discredit any evidence he has. I hope he doesn’t wait too long.

Let’s talk about Project Echelon

Of course Washington doesn’t actually do the ‘wiretapping’.....the CIA gets around the Constitution by doing it & passing the signal Intel back to DC

Oh yeah. Trump would be investigating the surveillance of him for every year of his presidency to prove it. These clowns don’t know who they are messing with.

The committee’s weasel words:

“...surveillance by any element of the United States government either before or after Election Day 2016, ...”

That means some other govt did it, and sent the info to someone here.

GCHQ is the British equivalent of the NSA.

"Admiral Rogers (head of the NSA) went to see Trump immediately after the election. This was an “off the books” visit. Clapper tried to get him fired immediately after this. Rogers is still there but Clapper is gone."

An excellent reminder!

1.The Intelligence Community -at the direction of President Obama- made a request to a FISA court for the NSA to spy on Donald Trump in June 2016. It was denied.

2.In October the Intelligence Community (NSA) -at the direction of President Obama- made a second request to the FISA court for the NSA to spy on Donald Trump. It was approved.

3.At around the same time (October), as the second request to FISA, (Def Sec) Ash Carter and (DNI) James Clapper tell President Obama to dump NSA Director Mike Rogers.

4.A week after the election, Mike Rogers makes a trip to Trump Tower without telling his superior, James Clapper; which brings about new calls (November media leaks to WaPo) for President Obama to dump Mike Rogers.

No one has denied a foreign power could have wiretapped him.

Using a foreign power to side step US law is a far bigger deal than using in house agencies to spy on the opposition's campaign.

This is what they are all dancing around trying to avoid, turning a national scandal into an international scandal that sucks other governments into their own scandal of interfering in US elections.

This is a big stinking deal and I am sure there are people on both sides of the pond saying "Oh chit!".

The media is complicit in this and they know if flyover country figures it out, they are toast. Eventually somebody is going to spell it out for them and things are going to unravel.

I think this is why McCain is getting frantic. He is deeply implicated in the use and abuse of foreign spy agencies to undermine an election. Pretty brazen for a former presidential nominee of the same party as the nominee he sought to undermine.

“This is what they are all dancing around trying to avoid, turning a national scandal into an international scandal that sucks other governments into their own scandal of interfering in US elections.”

If US used this tactic to get around US law, what are odds our allies used US assets to get around their own domestic law.

I think this is why all the dancing - all govts are afraid what will be revealed.

All because(fill in the blank)tried to prevent Trump election.election.

I hadn’t thought about that, but it is obvious that there would be quid pro quo.

I’m going to guess you never were much of a chess player.

Yes I played chess and gave it up at an early age because I found it was a game for people who really had nothing to do but sit around on their lazy asses all day long. Kind of like welfare people. And do not try and tell me about stretching the brain, please.

You know you people who make excuses for President Trump always have the same lines, "wait it is going to be epic" or "he is lining them up for the big fall" or "remember he is the deal maker".

Like I responded to another one of President Trump's loyal ostrich's, deliver the goods or STFU and start governing. Enough of the charades. I believe more than anything the American people want PEACE.

Trump says he will submit evidence of wiretapping to House committee ‘very soon’>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This has Feinstein and Grassly and the Senate iNtelligence Committee all nerved up.They are tryingto figure out a way to keep the Trump evidence out, or to cover it up somehow.

They looked pretty grim and shaken:
