Let me repeat that. They are LIES!!! The president cannot order wiretaps!!! It is against the law. This is the intelligence communities and the governing organizations involved in this sort of activity. And guess what? The intelligence senate committee ALREADY knows most of the shit that is going on. They are in the loop. The call for investigation is absurd.
Here is the wapo article on how hard it is to get a wiretap. Apparently, very hard. Go figure. You have to show probably cause....beyond talking to a Russian ambassador.

This is an exercise in bullshit deflection from the bullshit potus.
Trump people are out in full force with their new meme because they are scared. They are freaked out because they don't have sessions to protect them anymore. And I think that is KEY. Pieces are being moved and more will be coming. Buckle up and stay tuned. Clearly, we are in for a bumpy ride ahead.
If you think about it....there is a reason for this hurried response. Let them freak out. Eye on the prize. It is still about TRUMP + RUSSIA = IMPEACHMENT

(7,615 posts)It is still a problem if it is found that some Trump associates or even trump hinself was under surveillance by the intelligence agencies. Even if it was done lawfully via a fisa order, Trump will have no problem conflating that to "president Obama ordered it". His supporters will not make the distinction and the incompetent media will amplify it.

I think there is a WHOLE LOT more about to come out...
