    It appears Trump may have been right, again

    Two days after FBI director Comey shot down Trump's allegation that Trump was being wiretapped by president Obama before the election, it appears that president Trump may have been on to something because moments ago Politico reported that according to the House Intelligence Chairman, Devin Nunes, "members of the Donald Trump transition team, possibly including Trump himself, were under surveillance during the Obama administration following November's election", he told reporters on Wednesday.

    This is from just 5 hours ago, from PMSNBC:

    WSJ editorial says Trump clings to wiretap claim 'like a drunk to an empty gin bottle'

    Comey shot down the allegation that Obama had ordered surveillance on Trump Tower. Still no proof has been given to support those charges. In fact he said no President has that power. So where is the proof that Trump was right?

    Its nothing like Trump's allegation but it doesn't have to be. ln conspiracy-world, all Trump needs to prove is that he had some logical basis for the allegation.

    If it was true that the Trump transition team was coincidenatly surveiled Trump or Trumpeizdas I woukd say thatvwas because they were involved with Russia who was the prime target.

    If the incidental surveilence was legal and it appears that it was it will come out that Trumpeizdas were dealing with the Russians and Trumpeizdas must have been caught in the same net as Russians.

    Only because President Obama didn't order surveillance on Trump Tower.
    That is because they are bogus charges tweeted by a bogus president.
    There is no proof, because it never happened.

    So you believe Comey, the same Comey who was caught red handed lying both to the Congress and to the Senate? Comey has history of lying.

    So you believe Trump, the same Trump who was caught red handed lying in front of a wall devoted to fallen CIA employees? Trump has a history of lying more often than telling the truth.

    No Trump was not right because If Trump was caught in the surveillance trap that was coincidental to thecprime target which us Russia and Russians.

    Being coincidentally surveillaned is not being directly tapped.

    Is this an example of Trump making an idiotic and baseless accusation and his defenders spending the next two weeks trying to come up with some type of justification?

    Zerohedge isn't good enough. They have a new conspiracy theory every week.

    Deception through omission is how I characterize it. "Incidental" surveillance? Well, I suppose if the FBI is in the habit of "randomly" intercepting telecommunications without warrants ... conceivably, Trumps entire staff, could been continuously monitored purely by chance! Nunes needs to subpoena Comey. Let's hear him explain FISA, how it was side stepped, and by what happy coincidence Flynns phone conversation was recorded. While under oath, perhaps Comey should be questioned about Lynchs' "chance" meeting with Bill.

    Trump does appear to have been right - again.
    Which begs the question - what is Comey? The crooked referee of American politics?

    A grand jury needs to subpoena everyone involved.

    Trump may have been correct with the wire tapping. NSA is cooperating, FBI is not. Not yet anyway.

    Now what? Comey needs to start telling the truth. I wonder if he was covering up for Hillary and Lynch.

    If Trump is correct, then that makes The New York Times story accurate! lol

    This is only new news from the House Intelligence Committee. We already knew that the Senate Intelligence Committee interviewed the FISA judge last Wednesday.

    The only thing new is that Nunes CONFIRMED that the information was obtained under FISA.
    Which in turn means that Obama knew about it regardless of whether he ordered it or not.

    Since it happened under FISA, both Trump and the original NYTimes story were both correct. The people responsible for leaking the information to the NY Times a few weeks ago are probably soiling their pants right about now.

    You know, there's disrespect and then there's disrespect. I get it, you DON'T like the man. But there's been no crime, no indictment and we're actually seeing more corruption from the Federal Government as an institution than anything related to Trump. We now know that in order to drum up a case, colleagues will lie and smear former colleagues. This case is dirty alright, but it's not about Trump. Why don't you care that Washington is rotten to the core?

    You have no basis to falsely claim that FUSARIUM was sidestepped.

    Lynch and Monica's boyfriend have no relation to the Russian hacking or the Trumpeizda treason with quid pro quo with Russians.

    I commented during the campaign that Comey and his FBI's active involvement in the election process was rather odd and disturbing.

    I think you may have "liked" my take on it then - stranger and stranger every day now.

    No Trump was not right. There are no facts, no proof that a tapping was ordered and in fact Camey said that the POTUS does not have the authority to order such an action.

    Bottom line there was no tapping ordered.

    Which NY Times article are you referencing? And if you would, please link to the actual article and not just the headline or a a picture of the front page of the NY Times.
