White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Monday that Donald Trump may have claimed that his predecessor ordered wiretaps of his phones during the presidential campaign because the President receives "information and intelligence that the rest of us do not."

Conway was asked during an appearance on "Fox and Friends" how Trump knew that his phones had been tapped by President Barack Obama. Trump made the explosive, unsubstantiated claim in a series of tweets Saturday.

"Let me answer that globally," she said. "He is the President of the United States. He has information and intelligence that the rest of us do not. And that's the way it should be for Presidents."

Conway made similar comments Sunday night to Fox News' Jeanine Pirro that suggested Trump made the claim based on some unique intelligence.

[mobeau69]

19. Come on, be nice to her.

She ain't got no legs.

[iluvtennis]

21. LOL...good play on words. nt

[TXCritter]

7. She forgot to add...

"And that's the way it should be for Presidents.... unless they are black."

Because you KNOW she would have been ranting about Obama having "Secret information he is keeping from us" if the tables were turned.

[NRaleighLiberal]

8. sssshhhhh.... be vewy vewy qwiet!

[dalton99a]

11. +1

[chelsea0011]

9. Doesn't the first tweet at some gawd awful early Saturday morning start

out with "just found out"?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Different intell? tRump gets his intell reports from Mark Levin, Alex Jones, RT, Breitbart. nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. A cabal of liars.

[NewJeffCT]

13. I guess her ban from appearing on air

didn't last very long?

[rock]

14. Only Trump

Has access to his ass.

[groundloop]

15. I can't tell you because you're on double secret probabtion

OMG, we're dealing with Nixon's reincarnated evil twin.

[dalton99a]

16. Globally? Let me answer that GALACTICALLY.

Did you deodorize the sofa?

[MedusaX]

17. More like...

The Russian spy ship that was hanging out along the Florida coast intercepted some communications & or indications that they were not the only spies in the area..

They forwarded this revelation to 45 ....?

Surprised that KaC or 45 haven't just said

"Vlad told us and he is a really smart former KGB spy guy so like we trust him on matters such as this"

[Orrex]

18. He sees things that we need not see

And he be places that we need not be.

[ananda]

20. Lol

I don't think even the Russian hackers got this one.

And that's where 45 gets all his private intel ... from the Russians.

[Botany]

22. '"rump 'Has Information' That The Rest Of Us Don't"

aka Brietbart, Alex Jones, News Max, and Fox News

[JI7]

23. pathetic loser

[pangaia]

24. Well. Kellieanne, speaking 'globally", (??) everybody has intelligence that YOU don't have.

[KittyWampus]

25. Then how did Levin and Breitbart find out this super secret information?

[Ms. Toad]

26. Trying to regain her former stature, after being relegated to the dog house I see. n/t

[smirkymonkey]

50. And failing miserably.

Actually, maybe not. She was a lying, obsequious, hack then and she is still just as horrible.

[UpInArms]

27. the crap in his arse has spread to his brain

this is freaking ridiculous

[MBS]

28. The lies and shamelessness of this crew are driving me insane. n/t

[Kimchijeon]

29. lol no he doesn't

anything she says is probably a lie. This is just ridiculous.

[Zambero]

30. Oh yes, we've known that going back to the birther years

Alternative facts and such. Intelligence information originating from inside his head that even the intelligence community doesn't possess. Kids have imaginary friends. And certain adults who never grow up have imaginary enemies.

[3catwoman3]

31. So, is "Let me answer that globally" synonymous...

...with "Let me lie my ass off."?

[mindem]

33. Oh, yeah.....

Well, I have information that he doesn't have, so take that.

[sarge43]

34. He also has inside information about Area 51

Woo.

[0rganism]

35. uh oh

that is all

[Rustyeye77]

36. I dont believe in violence...

but I would love to slap her into next week.

[yellowcanine]

37. "Alternative Facts" dontcha know?

[Renew Deal]

38. Kellyanne Con artist

[ffr]

39. Kellyanne, yes we know.

[keithbvadu2]

40. Get back on the couch, Kellyanne

They had it sprayed for you.

More alternative facts.

[jmowreader]

41. And he'll be more than happy to tell Congress what it is. Under oath.

President Ford said you could impeach a ham sandwich for the crime of being a ham sandwich. Under the Ford Doctrine ("grounds for impeachment" is whatever we say they are) they need to impeach Donald Trump for the crime of being clinically insane and Mike Pence for aiding and abetting.

After that, we can place The Former President Trump Administration - including his entire cabinet, his campaign team and any staffers hired since 1/20/17 - under house arrest in the Winter Palace while we investigate his Russian connections and prosecute as necessary. Four years of Paul Ryan signing budget bills and complaining about not being allowed to tear the country apart won't be a thousandth as bad as what we now face.

[elmac]

42. Trump does have Information' That The Rest Of Us Don't

like, why his bad hair plugs grew funny and how his tanning spray booth malfunctioned.

[Solly Mack]

43. He's for damn sure got something the rest of us don't have

A brain-eating amoeba known as Kellyanne Conway.

[sinkingfeeling]

44. Sure he does. He makes it up all by himself.

[Nitram]

45. "Trump 'Has Information' That The Rest Of Us Don't" That's the voices in his head.

"Go ahead Don, push the big red button. Show 'em who's boss. You're not afraid to, are you?"

[murielm99]

46. Globally?

WTF does that mean?

[underpants]

51. maybe it means that Trump really is in a world of his own.

LOL "globally" stood out to me too

[FairWinds]

47. Brings back memories of early 2003 . .

when those of us who accused the Duya admin of lying us into war

were asked, "Don't you think the President knows more than you do?"

Well, maybe he did, and maybe the Drumph does, but that does not stop

either of them from being lying, steaming sacks of shit.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

48. Most of us don't want to go to his source

his ass.

[BREMPRO]

49. if he expects to stretch this BS for four years like the Birther thing until it serves his purpose

of attention and distraction.. good luck. different standards being president than a private citizen.

[bucolic_frolic]

53. What is she telling us ... the Trump Spy Network?

She is there to distract. Don't be fooled. RESIST.

[benld74]

54. Trump has some kinda unique intelligence alright nt

[mahina]

55. Not by any commonly accepted definition of the word.

If you expand the definition to include conspiracy theories with no evidence and excuses that sound plausible to him at 3 a.m. , then ok.

[mwooldri]

56. Yeah, like his taxes.

Let's start there, eh? They probably have as much truth to them as the notion of Obama personally wiretapping Trump.
