Shattuck: Hey swamp, now what do you say? CNN: FBI snoop rumor true
The Boston Herald ^ | 09-19-17 | Tom Shattuck

Posted on 09/19/2017 3:16:31 AM PDT by calvincaspian

All righty then. Looks like we may have a big problem. Remember in March when President Trump tweeted this shocking item? “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!”

And, “How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!.”

Heads exploded.

Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey scowled, “Donald Trump should just do the right thing and apologize to Barack Obama, there is no evidence ... it is absolutely not true.”

Although the beltway elite and their Chia pets in the media will split hairs about whether or not it was Obama who explicitly ordered the surveillance, it is beginning to be clear that there was an effort to surveil candidate and then President Trump — and many parties lied about it.

A few months ago, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said that if true, Trump’s wiretapping claims would be the “biggest political scandal since Watergate.”

Brace for impact, swamp.

If the GOP actually opposed the Left, this would be huge. They don’t, so nothing will come of it. Trump is alone in the swamp.

Of course it is true. It has already been confirmed with warrants issued by the unAmerican FISA court. Clapper is in it up to his bald crown.

We’re way past “swamp” and well into cesspool territory. Turds all.

The swamp is not bracing for impact. The law does not apply to them. They can do whatever they want to President Trump.

That's what I've said. We've gone from Swamp to Sewer populated with Sewer Rodents. I'm beginning to wonder if Hazardous Waste Dump better describes DC.

We knew that with President Trump would get things done or DC would be exposed as being beyond reform. The nation cannot survive if the DC mutant monsters don't grasp what's going on and work to save the nation. Instead, they pander to those who are succeeding at destroying the US.

Has swampass Sessions recused himself or is he still in his safe space because Trump yelled at him for sucking?

I hate it when people cannot properly excerpt an article. Instead of the garbage, you should have excerpted the moneyquote:

Last night, Tapper’s colleagues at CNN broke blockbuster news: “US investigators wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders before and after the election.”

...

According to CNN, “The government snooping continued into early this year, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to President Donald Trump.”

We really don't need the he said she saids.

The Democrat Establishment claims there is “no evidence” about a LOT of things. Perhaps they even come to believe their own hype. But that remains the prerogative of a dwindling minority. Many more believe that the evidence is there, but the prime directive is to hide it for as long as possible. People might forget altogether.

Memories are short and new stuff keeps coming along all the time to crowd out the original assertions. Mark it down to information overload.

You have a problem with AG Sessions? People who know — more than you do — could explain to you your error.

FYI try perusing posts by LS. You will learn something.

Breitbart today recalls one of Comey's many very lawyerly lies about wiretapping Trump:

“With respect to the president’s tweets about alleged wiretapping directed at him by the prior administration, I have no information that supports those tweets, and we have looked carefully inside the FBI,” he told the committee, according to the BBC.

As usual, without the follow up question that should have been asked: “what about wiretaps that captured his voice or data but were not directed at him.”

So how are we going to use this information? Are we going to call our local talk shows and make sure the listeners know about it? Are we going to write letters to the editor of our local papers? Are we going to picket outside the local TV stations, demanding they report the truth, instead of an endless stream of anti-Trump, anti-American fake news?

Or will we do what we usually do...thump our chests on FReep and talk about how the Leftist media are hateful liars, then go back to doing whatever we were doing before? The truth is a weapon, people, but only if we use it.

A properly functioning cesspool would breakdown the crap and also the fluid to flow into the leach lines.

What we have today are leach lines clogged with roots from the money-grubbing lobbyists and government contracts.

The sediment must be dug and pumped out of the septic tank and new (good bugs) introduced into the DC waste disposal system.

There you have: Crappers View of Government.

"If the GOP actually opposed the Left, this would be huge."

If We The Sheeple actually told our GOP so-called "leaders" to get off their cowardly, lazy a**es and support the President, it would be huge.

But no, we thump our chests and feel morally superior because once again, we've been shown to be right. Then we do nothing.

Yes, the President is alone in the swamp, because We The Sheeple love to talk big, but do nothing.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

This will not be allowed to become a big scandal because the media and the Republicans won’t allow it to become one. It will, however, become a shield against the next few attacks and another straw that will eventually break the back of the fake Mueller investigation. On balance this is a plus.
