Fredericka Whitfield just asked if Trump committed a crime yesterday, on MSNBC

[Saboburns]

Finally. Finally.

That's what I've been hoping and waiting for.

Whew.

Donald Trump lied and committed Libel against Barack Obama.

[NutmegYankee]

1. libel isn't a crime, it's a civil tort.

[unblock]

2. Libel? Obama would never sue

Plus the standard for famous people, never mind politicians, is extremely high.

[malaise]

3. Isn't she on CNN?

Good question - wherever. Hardly the Con's first crime.

[wishstar]

4. She was good on CNN - Intelligence expert said an American can get swept up in wiretap

inadvertently if there was Fisa wiretaps targeting Russian operatives where Americans were not the target, they would get swept up in the wiretap investigation if they are caught talking to the foreign agent-- that is whole point of those wiretaps- to find out if US govt officials and others are communicating and making deals with foreign operatives

So bottom line, Trump and Associates could be on tape talking to Russian operatives, not because the Americans were the focus of the FISA wiretaps, but if they were talking to the Russian operatives who were the targets of FISA and of course the existence of those wiretaps cannot be released as that would be classified info.
