I'm having a blast finding old "news" headlines denouncing Trump for having the audacity to allege Obama Admin wiretapping, absent evidence.

Now I am waiting for the media retractions to start coming in, coupled with profuse apologies and deferential respect for the "stable genius" who is wise and generous enough to save even these "nattering nabobs of negativity" from themselves.

Waiting. Waiting....

They are going down too and will be charged as aiding and abetting treason.

The whole Pinocchio thing is gay as hell. And, if you give them out to call someone a liar when you have no way of knowing whatsoever what the facts are, they are absolutely worthless.

They’re doubling down and “fact checking” the memo.

Bloomberg already gave it down twinkles

None of the stories link the memo. WaPoop links everything but. That’s how you know how damaging the memo is. No one wants you to read it.

I’m waiting for that/those FISA judge(s) to haul some folks in and charge them with fraud, obtaining a FISA warrant by the use of it, making material misrepresentations, and withholding information that would have impacted their request negatively.

But they run with the story about Russia!!! How about investigating who killed Seth Rich, connections on who was involved in the case, Clinton foundation, IRS, Benghazi, server, emails, meeting of Lynch and Clinton on a runway, FBI, DOJ, State all being found now to have been corrupt.
Hell the list is endless, but the Post won’t investigate any of that.

They should but I doubt it will happen so long as Jeff Sessions is attorney general. As soon as that memo came out he was making excuses for them “Oh all departments are fallible”

Every day that goes by that they don’t raises my suspicion that
those FISC judges are as corrupt as Comey, McCabe, Strzok, etc.

When Trump said he was being wiretapped he knew this was 100% accurate. The head of the NSC had private meeting with Trump and the next day Trump moved his transition team out of Trump Towers. The head of the NSC was Admiral Rogers. He may have saved our nation.

it’s really quite simple:

1. at this point in time everyone should know as a matter of fact Trump tower was a target of surveillance.

2. Obama was the Commander in Chief.

Therefore: Obama did it!

Of the nine memos, several will be released,
and in one, the non-American Obama will
be shown to have sent this salacious seditious
material to ..... Hillary using their off-line
accounts. So there was no worry about Russians.
It was sedition CLEAR AND SIMPLE.

These are hanging offenses, and that is why the MSM
will avoid the real issue: THEY ARE PART OF
THE CIRCULAR "Evidence" FABRICATED BY MOCKINGBIRD.

And there is more:

"Don’t hold your breath."

The stench that is the WaPo is such that "holding your breath" is the normal prerequisite for reading anything they excrete into print.

I’ve notice on other sites comment sections that one of their favorite talking points seems to be “but...but...all of those named in the memo are Republicans and some of the renewals were done by Trumps DOJ and FBI”

And you can tell that most of those making those kind of comments have never read the damned thing.

One of the worst places on the net, is the comment section of National Review.

Between the liberal trolls and the #neverTrumpers, actual facts and coherent arguments are few and far between.

Don’t know why I even bother. Guess it’s like gawking at a bad car wreck when you go by

Retractions?
Unnamed sources?
Don't hold your breath!

I am waiting for not the arrest of the criminal fraudsters and Democratics and "Safe place" imbeciles to complete their self destruction, but also their long deserved sentences for Treason and Sedition charges too numerous to list...!
