Wiretaps may prove Trump right — and that’s absolutely terrifying

It was in March when Trump made that explosive claim, and the Democratic media rushed to denounce him even before Obama did. Subsequent denials from then-FBI boss James Comey and other Obama aides all were rock-solid in declaring that no such thing had happened. There was no wiggle room in their denials, some of which were made under oath before Congress.

Perjury before Congress, yes. Punished for it, no. Will ever be? I hate to predict the future, but the track record is a solid No.

These and other incidents appear to be part of the effort to undermine Trump from within the government, and they give rise to a growing belief that America is infected with a “deep state,” a malevolent permanent bureaucracy that feels entitled to power and will stop at almost nothing to keep it...

I’m beginning to wonder. The more we learn about the last eight years and eight months, the more reason there is to believe that something is rotten in Washington.

I don’t just mean the ordinary corruption of the swamp variety. I mean something fundamental, something that suggests major elements in our government believe they, and not the people, are sovereign.

Which brings us back to the ultimate test: Did Obama or somebody working for him put Trump under surveillance during or after the election for the purpose of a political coup? It’s a frightening question, all the more so because I suspect the answer will be yes — if we can ever get to the truth.

It's far past time for arrests, and the lot of them still walk the streets and preen before adoring media celebrities. These people consider themselves too big to be held accountable and so far they have been correct. The media aren't simply complaisant, they are complicit, and active participants in and accessories to highly illegal activity. This is the Deep State. It's real.

Why do we keep saying “wiretaps”? That is not what was done.

Why do we keep talking about radio and TV "broadcasts," when the term actually means "spreading seeds widely on a ploughed field?"

I agree. Too bad we don’t have an AG worth a damn.

No, wire tapping has become colloquially known to mean electronics surveillance and monitoring.

Everyone knew what was meant with "Wiretaps". The a-hole left pig piled on President Trump because that's how retarded they are. Now the a-hole left runs with "Wiretaps" like it's no biggy since they say it.

There is only one conclusion to draw from this never ending FBI obfuscation. Sessions has to be under blackmail and rendered worthless. There is no other reasonable explanation for having employees in a subordinate bureau sticking their middle finger in the eye of Congress. If Sessions was acting normally he would have ordered the contemptuous FBI SOBs into his office immediately and fire them on the spot.

He should order them to go, and not to take the 5th. If they refuse, fire their ass on the spot.
This is garbage that the DOJ, the FBI, and their subcontractor special counsel act like they are independent of the chief executive.

All this talk of obstructing justice by telling them what to do, or by firing Comey is unconstitutional garbage. And the constitution does not task the DOJ with being a watchdog over the president. That is left to the Congress and no one else.

This is pure treason, sedition, and a slow motion coup.

Why are you so mean to Jeff Sessions. He already had his feelings hurt when Trump said bad things about him. Lay off of him or he will start crying and run to Mitch McConnell. /s

Yeah yeah...and all sodas aren’t a coke. And all ammunition feeding devices aren’t clips. And a carrier isn’t a boat. Your word games are meaningless.

And nobody draws a bath (from the well) or rolls up a window (with a hand crank).

Everyone in America despises and hates them -even more- when they try that cute crap. “We never wiretapped him, we used modern electronic eavesdropping methods at the routing locations of fiber optic switching stations and through internet service provider backdoors.”

It’s coming swamp dwellers, keep it up. You wont be the first legislators in history fleeing out the back door of a Capitol building.

It's a shortcode.

I mean it's shorthand. (I've been spending too much time working WordPress plugins!)

Did you know that the MSM is part of the ‘Secret Government’??? yep they are...

Jeff Sessions should rescind his recusal, he has every right in light of these circumstances.

He needs to realize HE IS NOT A REPUBLICAN SENATOR ANYMORE!

He is the top law enforcement official, he should act like it!

"Why do people say "I COULDN'T care less" when the mean "I COULD care less" ?"

You're WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!!

If you COULD care LESS, then that means you ARE capable of caring less. The whole point of saying 'I COULDN'T care less' is to underscore the fact that you COULD NOT CARE LESS than you already do at that very moment!!!

Think of the other extreme, CARING instead of NOT CARING: I COULD care more, or I CARE NOT care more? If you choose the latter then YOU WERE WRONG AND AGREE WITH ME !

Last sentence should read "I COULD care more, or I COULD NOT care more?"

Wiretaps are obsolete compared to modern electronic surveillance. Why do we keep saying “wiretaps”?

Because every Dodunk in the world knows what it means.
