Two in the Trump Whitehouse gave info to someone, Did Trump order the whole thing.?

The way it looks here....Drumpf was the one who told the two to release the info. It was a Trump con... It was no secret deal, it was a trick to get info out that looked a certain way, that made Obama look bad. Very little of what was found, except that some conversations may have meant something. Perhaps it was trying to figure out what Trumps computers which were hooked up to Russia were sending Russia. ..But the whole scheme looks like a phony attack on Obama.

Does the sun rise in the East?

Look he even told us to expect developments to back up his criminal lie against President Obama in the precise time frame. This is no different than his 'rigged elections talk' etc., etc.

9. Michael Ellis was Special Counsel of the House Comm. just a few days back, then went to the WH.

I fingered him as the guy a few days ago. He was Nunes' lawyer at the House Comm., in effect. It seems a HUUUUGE conflict of interest for a chief counsel lawyer to switch sides from investigator to target's lawyer.

1. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Special Counsel, Michael Ellis, now works for Trump

The lawyer for the House committee investigating #TrumpRussia went to the White House to represent trump.

Wow, does that ever scream "We need a special prosecutor."

11. No they won't. Seems they are part of Trump's Obama cyber-lynching plot.

The context is interesting. FIRST, the White House counsel orders document retention, on Tuesday if I recall right. It was the weekend when Trump tweeted Obama's cyber-lynching. What is going on? Trump found out exactly what was happening when they were served a subpoena by the FISA court, they had been caught and a criminal investigation was happening. Guilty and caught means you have to try to throw out the evidence, that's their current strategy, politicize the criminal investigation, blame the black guy for playing politics. #TrumpsTrolls are at work on Twitter pushing this plot, and they want to jail Obama. This is what to expect of the Republicans, something even more insane than Benghazi. And this is what Nunes and Trump are up to.
