Trump accuses Obama of wiretapping him

Please provide a cite that the NY Times or the Washington Post has stated that the Trump campaign has colluded with the Russians. An article, not an op-ed, please. This is GD and claims like this require cites. Thank you.

Then they weren’t tapping Trump Tower phones, right?

OK, you owe me a new keyboard.

Wins this thread. I hope.

Karma sucks, eh Comey?

Well done!

What a goddamned hypocrite. In a just world, Comey would be left twisting in the wind for weeks while the Justice department investigates the supposed allegations.

“IRS admits targeting conservatives for tax scrutiny in 2012 election”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/irs-admits-targeting-conservatives-for-tax-scrutiny-in-2012-election/2013/05/10/3b6a0ada-b987-11e2-92f3-f291801936b8_story.html?utm_term=.00d1b8b345c2

As for the idea liberal groups were targeted as well as Tea Party groups, allow me to put forth this analogy.

Suppose you have a racist cop who targets Black people. His defense could be, " I"ve stopped white people also." See it would be nearly impossible for a cop to do his job and not stop some white people unless they patrolled an area that almost completely Black. Likewise, the IRS had to reject some liberal tax applications if they were doing their job in the least. No signature. Incomplete forms. Wrong forms. Didn’t meet certain criteria. Whatever. The rejection of liberal tax free applications is no defense that they were not targeting Tea Party groups.

hmmm

It would be interesting to know if he ever gives any thought to the consequences of his words.
NBC-TV’s 6:30PM/ET News lead was this story.

This president is unhinged. He’s not fit to serve as an assistant manager at Piggly Wiggly on the swing shift.

What the $#@! is he doing in the White House ?!?!

Bruce Bartlett‏ again:

I don’t know, but people are saying it!

Not just unknown people.

Man, Trump needs someone who can be a sort of liaison to Brietbart to avoid these kinds of fuckups in the future. Someone Trump can talk to who knows the ins and outs of how Brietbart works and who can call them up and figure out what is going on before the President sticks his neck out over a lightly sourced story like this.

Uh, yeah right. The IRS has been investigating Trump since at least 1999. But it’s big bad Obama with a grudge who put them onto Trump’s scent. Sure, buddy.

Let’s keep this sort of unproductive partisan sneering out of Great Debates or Elections and leave it in The BBQ Pit.

Then why did he lie?

Note that Comey (allegedly) did not ask the Justice Dept. to refute the claims that Trump Tower was wiretapped. Only that Obama didn’t order the wiretap.

Sounds like you’re agreeing.

Habit.

I am pretty sure Obama was smart enough to have loads of plausible deniability if he did.
