Even Giuliani Can't Justify Trump's Paranoid Theories

Moments after Trump glommed onto the latest Fox News distraction and once again claimed his campaign had been spied on by President Barack Obama’s Department of Justice, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani conceded they have zero proof to support the right-wing swamp claim.

“First of all, I don’t know for sure, and neither does the president, if there was” an Obama spy, Giuliani told CNN’s Chris Cuomo Friday morning.

Pressed about who has told the White House that a spy existed, Giuliani’s vague response was “people.” He later added they’ve been told the spy story by people “off the record” and that “you don’t know if they’re right or not.” But hey, other than that, the conspiracy seems solid!

Trump’s been trying to get this “Deep State” coup conspiracy theory off the ground for more than a year. But no matter how many times Fox News repeats it, proponents have not presented any facts to support the wild claim.
