    So you have no clue how the Russians managed to swing Pennsylvania to Trump. But you think a Congressional Investigation could when you can't even articulate a theory to explain your favorite clam?

    Sad!

    If that is what you are claiming happened, you should provide documented evidence.

    Unsubstantiated pissytweets are not evidence.

    You mean those leftist Obama loyalists still embedded inside the intelligence community? Yeah . . . Trump needs to give the intelligence community an employment enema and flush all the leftist moles.

    It's your theory, I simply asked you to explain it, and you can't.

    What did the Russians do, that caused Pennsylvanians to vote for Trump?

    I know of nothing they did, that caused Pennsylvanians to vote for Trump.

    I know nothing about your theory concerning Pennsylvania.

    I support a thorough investigation regarding the findings of the FBI, CIA, and NSA that Putin conspired to assist Trump in the campaign. The integrity of the US democratic process is essential.

    Further, as a distinct and disparate matter entirely, I support Congress appointing an independent, Watergate-type commission to analyze your messiah's peculiar tweets.

    From what I've read, Trump's "evidence" are an original FISA court request which was rejected (last June) and a revised FISA court request which was approved (in October).

    I'd expect there to also be physical evidence at the premises as it is claimed the FISA requests involved servers operated by 2 Russian banks at the Trump Tower.

    FISA court records are classified and may not be lawfully published, so Trump can't (or shouldn't) simply give these out for media dissemination, the physical evidence (if any) likely require some expert describe the devices and installations.

    If Trump does have evidence he must produce it, but I'm not sure this is of the sort the public can review and discuss online.

    Only the lunatic fringe left would attempt to hang Jeff Sessions for meeting with the Russian ambassador under the auspices of the Obama State Department.
    Why do they keep calling themselves the "smart" people?

    Citizens need to adjust to a new reality where media is unreliable. When I was a teenager, living in Spain under Franco, I figured it was simple; just average the greatest and lowest figures for a protest's participants, the casualties of some conflict or tons of intercepted cod. This average would more accurately reflect reality than the boas inherent in media's differing agenda.

    Later, living in the US it seemed media bias was more subtle, I relied on good vocabulary to discern distortions in the adjectives of characterization. Things have deteriorated, before major media depended on market share for advertising revenue, they couldn't misrepresent excessively as this would lose them readership and hence the price they could demand advertisers. Now, with internet, major media has lost audience, advertising is mostly online, periodicals struggle to survive. Online media has much lower capital investment, fewer costs and can easily garner large audiences, but they do so catering to what the public wants rather than the truth.

    Now one needs to filter through a source's expected bias based on it's targetted audience and compare that. We expect Trump's 3am "Twitter Fits" to be portrayed as rants of a madman in CNN, and as scandalous revelations on Breitbart. In reality we have a plausible suspicion Obama did tap Trump's campaign communications, but the magnitude of this perfidy is not likely what Trump suggests.

    I think Obama was advised of suspected Russian money contributing to Trump's campaign and thus had Russian banks with premises at Trump Tower monitored. If there was anything damning we would have heard about it long ago. That's all there is.

    And President Trump points out their hypocrisy quite well:

    Accussations of Trump's people met with Russians, Lefty reaction: they must resign!

    Accusations of obama wire tapping Trump campaign, Lefty reaction: Where is the proof!

    Sad and pathetic. And these folks wonder why they lose.

    You 'know' nothing; but you assume everything. That isn't how the law works.

    Amazing isn't it. He can just make a claim bring no proof of it and his followers just take it and run with it as the truth that has been etched in stone.

    It's truly amazing. I don't see any difference between you and Trump followers. Despite all the evidence provided to you about DNC criminal actions, about criminal actions of many of democrat party members etc...etc...irrefutable evidence...to this day you live in denial and continue wearing your tin foil hat.

    Since when has evidence had anything to do with it since his first day? Crap is flying everywhere from all sides. Trump is trying to throw a wrench in the gears of the Democrat machine. Next up, lock her up. Clinton's head will be on the block if the Democratss don't back off.

    NO, "sick" isn't wire tapping Russian sympathizers......sick is making a sexual appraisal of one's own daughter and discussing her "blank"ability" like Trump did.

    Good post ! Isn't it funny how Trumpettes NEVER criticize their little President's continuous golf vacation....


    ""Looks like he has plenty of time to be on Twitter since he is on YET ANOTHER vacation. Hail the Golfer-in-Chief""

    If other private citizens were included then there are privacy issues involved.

    If we've learned anything about Trump, it's that he doesn't make such accusations without some sort of backup. That's why liberals are in meltdown rage mode over this...

    What I want and EXPECT are FACTS and rock-solid PROOF.

    We have gotten NO proof of any demonstrable kind from anyone supporting the theory that "Russia hacked the election for Trump".

    But, in fairness, so far, we have gotten NO proof from the Trump Admn. that Obama illegally wiretapped the Trump campaign.

    From both camps I want FACTS and PROOF. Everything else is (how can I put this delicately...?)... BULLSHIT!

    I don't agree with this. The birth certificate is proof of his willingness to legitimize baseless conspiracy theory as factual.

    The problem with "Obamagate" is that it's going to cut Trump either way. If the Obama FBI/CIA ordered a wiretap, they had a legitimate reason for doing so, and if it was to investigate the Russia ties, then that proves the Democrats right. Loss for Trump.

    If there is no wiretap and Trump is going off the deep end on some rabid conspiracy from Bitefart news, then we have another serious issue. Trump would be leveling unfounded charges at a past president. What's the penalty for that? I know that he could be sued for defamation.

    What happens then? He really put himself in a horrible position by tweeting this stuff at 3:30am.

    Sad.

    Really? When and where was any serious issue which can be called somehow as backup?
    Liberals and so called lefties are in rage because this dumbass is acting with truth and facts in a shameful behavior and the complete world learned this with the new created issue of Trumponians where the created a new term ... "alternative truth / alternative facts". This is the backup he has in reality!

    LOLOLOL

    the left has lost their marbles, we may be 25 years from Democrat relevancy again. And that may suit the country just fine, seeing as they are trying to turn us third world

    Fully agree. That's the only way forward. However I'm afraid that the media will continue with their anti-Trump propaganda and insinuations. It's become tedious. Repeating all that nonsense day in and day out. They're talking to themselves.

    Have you considered the possibility of Israelis being involved? It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest that their intelligence services have irrefutable evidence against Obama. I wonder how would the mainstream media react if Israelis were added to the mix.
