Two weeks ago, President Trump leveled an extraordinary charge against President Obama, claiming that his predecessor tapped phones in Trump Tower before the election.
The President cited no evidence to support his claim, and reporting suggested Trump had developed the theory based only on speculative commentary published on Breitbart News.
For the past two weeks, we’ve watched as Trump and his administration have dug in deeper, refusing to back down from the claim while also suggesting that British intelligence could have helped Obama listen in on Trump’s call. That led to a “diplomatic row” with one of the United States’ closest allies, as British intelligence agency GCHQ took the rare step of issuing a public statement to dismiss the Trump administration’s claims as “nonsense” that “should be ignored.”
For a while, it wasn’t clear how this matter would be resolved. Some objective observer needed to weigh in and explain what had really happened.
Comey, Rogers and the truth that Trump refuses to admit
During congressional testimony today before the U.S. House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, two such observers weighed in. FBI Director James Comey and National Security Agency Director Admiral Michael Rogers made clear that there is absolutely no evidence to support Trump’s wild claims. Comey testified that “The FBI and the Justice Department have no information to support” Trump’s accusation against Obama. Rogers seconded what Comey said on behalf of the NSA.
As for the suggestion British intelligence could have helped wiretap Obama, Rogers strongly dismissed the notion that this could have occurred, explaining that such action would be “expressly against the construct of the Five Eyes agreement that’s been in place for decades.” “Five Eyes” is an intelligence partnership between the United States, Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia that provides for intelligence sharing between the countries.
British Member of Parliament Dominic Grieve issued a statement last week explaining that, under the partnership, Five Eyes countries “cannot ask each other to target each other’s citizens or individuals that they cannot themselves target, or in any other way seek to circumvent their own or each other’s legal and policy considerations.”
This is important stuff. Trump and his administration made serious allegations against both his predecessor in office and a close American ally. He and his administration offered no evidence to support these claims, and U.S. intelligence officials have now flatly debunked them.
Nancy Pelosi thinks Donald Trump should apologize to Barack Obama
It is understandable that many of us would prefer to move on from this uncomfortable episode, trying our best to put this all in the rear view mirror.
That would be a mistake. If Trump gets the message that he can make preposterous claims with impunity, he will have every reason to do so again in the future.

Such claims can be very damaging. Rogers testified today that the claim the Trump administration made was not helpful to the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.
Rogers similarly testified that Trump’s suggestion during a public meeting with German Chancellor Angel Merkel that he and Merkel shared something in common as each had supposedly been wiretapped by Obama “certainly complicates things.”
James Comey has 'no information' to support Trump wiretap claims
Take a moment to let this sink in. The NSA director testified before a congressional committee that the U.S. President has taken action at odds with some of our closest international alliances. If Trump reported to Rogers, it would be difficult to imagine that Rogers could have any confidence in Trump.
Of course, Trump does not report to Rogers. But, under our constitutional democracy, the President is neither above the law nor beyond reproach. Congress plays an essential role in setting limits on presidential power.
With Republicans controlling the House and Senate, it is up to them to decide whether there will be any consequences for Trump’s reckless actions.
Comey testified that the FBI’s investigation of links and possible cooperation between the Trump campaign and Russia is ongoing, and that he can’t see when it will conclude. We don’t know, of course, what that investigation will or won’t turn up. But we already know enough, based on public testimony today, to tell us that our government is facing an urgent challenge defined by a President who has shown no compunction about defaming his predecessor and jeopardizing longstanding American alliances.
It is hard to imagine a more difficult or unpleasant task for Republicans: They have no choice other than to determine whether they are confident that the President is fit to carry out the duties of his office. No one can take any pleasure in this, but if Republicans in Congress do nothing, they will be making a dangerous mistake.

Trump’s wiretapping accusations reportedly got under Obama’s skin

Former President Barack Obama was reportedly “livid” following President Trump’s baseless accusation over the weekend that he had illegally wiretapped Trump Tower — and the White House appeared frustrated itself Wednesday about having to answer repeated questions on the ongoing investigations into Russian meddling.
While, publicly, an Obama spokesman, following Trump’s explosive claim that his predecessor was wiretapping him, called the allegations “simply false” and said Obama never ordered surveillance of any American citizens, the former President was privately fuming, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Obama was “livid over the accusation,” people familiar with his thinking told The Journal, adding that he felt Trump was insulting the integrity of the office.
NBC News reported that Obama merely "rolled his eyes" when he heard about Trump's wiretapping claims.
Origins of Trump's unfounded claims of being wiretapped by Obama
A person familiar with Obama's thinking told the network that the former prez felt Trump's accusations "undermine the integrity of the office of the President" but not Obama's "own integrity," because Obama "didn't do it."

Obama is "much more concerned by President Trump kicking people off their health insurance, not staffing the government, not being prepared for a crisis, rolling back regulations so that corporations can pollute the air and water and letting mentally unstable people buy guns with no problems whatsoever," the person told NBC News.
Obama was an outspoken critic of Trump throughout the campaign, but after the mogul’s victory, the two met several times. Obama, however, said at his final press conference that he would speak out if he felt “core values” were being compromised.
Trump, despite a handful of warm words for Obama following their meetings, has in recent days unleashed on his successor on Twitter, not only accusing Obama, without providing evidence, of the surveillance and calling him a “bad (or sick) guy,” but also criticizing him for being soft on Russia, and claiming, inaccurately, that 122 prisoners the Obama administration had released from Guantanamo Bay had “returned to the battlefield.”

When asked during his daily press briefing whether Trump was a “target” of any of the investigations, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said, “That’s what we need to find out,” before emphatically condemning coverage of the ongoing saga as “fake news.”
“A lot of these stories that come out with respect to that are, frankly, fake,” he said. “The same unnamed sources and quote, unquote, associates … and yet there’s no evidence,” he said.
The FBI, as well as the House and Senate Intelligence Committees are currently investigating ties between members of Trump’s inner circle and Russia, as part of a broader probe into Russian meddling in the election, and many politics-watchers have speculated that Trump’s latest bombastic tweets are part of an effort to distract from them.

Trump, in recent days, has also had to deal with blowback to his accusations from FBI Director James Comey, who over the weekend reportedly asked Trump’s Justice Department to release a statement refuting the President’s wiretapping claim.
Trump's claims reportedly evoked an eyeroll from Obama.

The department, led by Trump loyalist Jeff Sessions — who’s embroiled in his own scandal and facing calls for his resignation as attorney general — has yet to say a word.
But amid the days long silence, the White House has continued to insist that the House and Intelligence Committees should investigate the allegations.
Those investigations, initially created to probe Russian meddling in the election, are already proceeding full throttle.

On Wednesday, Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), who are the chairman and ranking member, respectively, of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on crime and terrorism, called on the Justice Department Wednesday to produce any evidence that supports Trump’s explosive wiretapping allegation.
Graham and Whitehouse said they would take very seriously “any abuse of wiretapping authorities for political reasons.”
But, they added they’d be equally alarmed to learn that a court found enough evidence of criminal activity or contact with a foreign power to legally authorize a wiretap of President Trump, the Trump Campaign, or Trump Tower.

WASHINGTON — President Trump's claims that the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Tower during the campaign aren't backed up by the facts, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey testified Monday morning.
"I have no information that supports those tweets and we have looked carefully inside the FBI," Comey said during testimony to the House Intelligence Committee.
That comment knocks down Trump's serious, and unfounded, accusation that President Obama directed intelligence operations to wiretap him during the campaign. The Trump White House has provided zero evidence that is true.
Comey also testified that the FBI is probing those possible connections as part of a wider investigation into Russian efforts to help Trump (pictured) win the 2016 presidential election.

"How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!" he tweeted earlier this month.

"I've been saying this for several weeks. We know there was no physical wiretap of Trump Tower. However, it is still possible that other surveillance activities were used against President Trump and his associates," he said, promising to both probe whether there were any ties between Trump's campaign and Russia during the campaign and concerns about recent leaked confidential information.
The top Republicans and Democrats on the House and Senate Intelligence Committees have all said that there's no evidence that Trump was telling the truth with his wild claims, which were widely seen as a move to distract from questions about ties between Trump campaign officials and Russia's meddling in the 2016 election.
Comey also testified that the FBI is probing those possible connections as part of a wider investigation into Russian efforts to help Trump win the 2016 presidential election.
The question now: Will there be any consequences for President Trump's reckless allegations against President Obama?

This is EXACTLY what I came to ask in this thread...
Is this a joke?
Nope just showing the ignorant hypocrisy of the repugs
holy shit... this CAC is Baghdad Spicer fucking crazy. he said Flynn was just a volunteer of the campaign and that Manafort played a limited role for a limited amount of time.
He really thinks the media going to buying that
People always say he was the weakest link next to him Michael Flynn
Trump, come get your boy before he snitches on himself.
This dude about to get missing..BTW, has anyone seen Rudy Giuliani since he made a "mess" of the travel ban...lol
Video in question spicer deserves an award for the bullshittin' performance he puts on
holy shit... this CAC Baghdad Spicer is fucking crazy. he said Flynn was just a volunteer of the campaign and that Manafort played a limited role for a limited amount of time.
Niggas unraveling
Isn't it odd seeing these old cantankerous CACs on Twitter?!?
Niggas unraveling
holy shit... this CAC Baghdad Spicer is fucking crazy. he said Flynn was just a volunteer of the campaign and that Manafort played a limited role for a limited amount of time.
It's a play on words. He is saying campaign and not administration. However, Manafort was the campaign manager, I believe, before he stepped down from the campaign and ran. Flynn I am not sure what his traitor ass was up to on the campaign. I am sure whatever he was doing. He was selling out Americans.
Why even watch this muthafucka just got hit off by the trump team big time he's throwing smoking mirrors at the questions he's being asked
I'm starting to think trump will walk.
Some peripheral people will go down that's it.
