No. 2 Senate Republican says Senate to probe Trump's wiretap claims

Source: Reuters


07 MAR 2017 AT 12:56 ET

The No. 2 Republican in the U.S. Senate said on Tuesday the chambers investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election would also examine President Donald Trumps claim that he had been wiretapped by the Obama administration.

Asked by CNN whether Trumps claim, for which he has presented no evidence, would be part of the probe, Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn said: I think all of that is part of the investigation.

It needs an investigation so we can find out what the facts are, he added. Well follow the facts wherever they may lead.

and the rest of the MSM will in some way discuss it. They're trying to rewrite history before there's any investigation.

"We are going to see a lot of this."

And it won't be letting up and getting WORSE.

IF they're "investigating" anything dealing with Pres. Obama which to my knowledge is unfounded, it'll give the OTHER thuglicans the opportunity to pass MORE pieces of CRAP legislation which will continue destroying this country--and destroying the very tRumputin voters who helped put him into office, but they won't be blaming tRumputin for their problems--they'll be blaming Pres. Obama and even Hillary Clinton & the Democrats because tRumputin SAID it was their fault

We see that many on the right who are supportive of tRumputin are also on the side of the ruskies, even to their detriment.

We're in for a very BAD and DARK time in this country.
