Republican Senators are asking for evidence of President Trumps assertion that former President Obama had ordered the wiretapping of Trump tower. I think the President should tell the American people what evidence he has that indicates his predecessor wiretapped Trump Tower, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) told reporters on Monday evening.
It was a very serious charge and one that needs corroboration, noted McCain, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
If its true its earth-shattering, commented Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC). When asked if Mr. Trumps claims were a distraction, he responded, its not a distraction as much as it is unnerving if its true.
Graham promised a congressional investigation because of the seriousness of the charges leveled by President Trump. It certainly behooves me and others to investigate when the current president accuses the former president of engaging in illegal activities its something we need to look at seriously. And I intend to do that, he said.

(4,742 posts)You know something...maybe Graham and McCain have been waiting for this kind of moment. Where Trump sticks a fucking ludicrous claim out there and they say say "FINE!" Prove it. If Trump can't prove it they say Fuck YOU! You are a moron.
I am no McCain or Graham fan but they both have been treated like garbage from Trump. Both have huge egos and in my opinion they both would be happy if this orange POS goes down in flames.
Maybe Trump finally backed himself into a corner.

(1,129 posts)I bet Maverick & the Graham Cracker were kicking each other under the table as they played the
"Parent" role to little 5yr old Donnie's false claims about why he got a zero on his test....
Donnie: "Obama copied off my test and the teacher gave me a zero instead of him!" Unfair!!
Graham: "why...That is earth shattering, don't you agree Maverick, dear?"
Maverick:
"Oh my, This is a serious charge that needs corroboration."
Graham:
"I am going to call the teacher right this minute
... and get to the bottom of this..."
Donnie:
"You can't believe that lying teacher... I know Obama was copying... believe me... Can't you just go to the Principal and get the teacher FIRED instead of talking to her?"
Maverick/Graham:
" but, Donnie....
you have been falsely accused and punished for someone else's actions ...
you deserve to have this fully investigated
and we will make sure the truth comes out!
That is what you want, right?"
