Question to DUers??

Based on more Republican Bullshit... Today, after a supposedly bi-partisan meeting on TRUMP’S OBAMA ACCUSATION.....
The republican Intel Head...Nunes came out with ridiculous claim.. that the justice dept delivered “Intercepts” which he was unaware or...Obviously trying to give Trump air cover..

This is a fucked up situation which will be the lead story over the networks... after the tragedy in Britain runs it course.

My question? Can’t Obama come up with some kind of statement, which sums up his feelings in response to Trump’s Bullshit.. Or is he just too much of a professional statesman to throw himself in to the situation.
isn’t there something he could say?

It's best that he distances himself, including the Clintons. Don't give the Rubes an excuse. TheBlackAdder Mar 2017 #5

and I think he'd rather the Trump administration to continue acquiring rope to hang themselves.

I am sure his legal council is telling him to stay as far away from this as possible. Wading in at this moment would be perceived as meddling. They have nothing on him and he knows it. Sit. Tight.

Having said that, he should probably run again in 2020. "Want me to clean up this Republican mess again, folks?"

HELL YES!

But I think he is very smart and knows Trump will hang himself if he is given free rope.

Obama has info on Trump and if an independent investigator takes over ,he may be called to testify.

Nunes says Fisa warrants were legal against foreign nationals where Trump and some of his campaign staff were apparently incidentally swept up, but their identities masked so everything was legal. But in doing this, Nunes is simply muddying waters to protect Trump and give WH some cover for their erroneous claims.
