Distribution fallacy. I didn't say EVERYTHING Trump says he has proof for.
He wouldn't accuse Odummy (of authorizing the wiretap) if he didn't have proof, especially with the opposition media ready to pounce.
Odumdum's denial he didn't directly order it, is disingenuous. Hitler never directly ordered the death of even one Jew, but we all know he authorized the holocaust.
Same with Lois Learner, she was given the job in the IRS because she thought like ODummy, perhaps even dressed like him in the drag. Odummy knew she would weaponize the IRS against the opposition and help him win re-election, and she did. Its irrelevant no smoking gun "order in writing" exists, she wouldn't have had the job if she wasn't going to do precisely what she did.

Trump just beat the Left and the Media at their own game
A masterful move! Make an inflammatory accusation and state it as fact and then demand it be investigated. The left has used this same tactic for years. The entire Russian ties issue was was nothing more than conspiracy theories floated as facts by the media. With zero evidence to back it up.
And the leftist in the media have been happy to carry on this same narrative for weeks with no evidence what so ever. Now they are going to demand Trump have evidence?
 Laughable!
The difference is this accusation is likely true and it will end badly for Obama. No matter what, Trump just set the news cycle for the next month.

It appears that Trump got that info from Breitbart and he made that tweet without any proof. It may be an attempt to divert media attention away from Sessions which I think is a witch hunt itself.
All the while nothing is getting done. The H-1B visa lottery system is still intact and shady and unscrupulous I.T. foreign outsourcing firms continue to hijack our I.T. industry and put more Americans out of work. Bad trade deals like NAFTA remain intact and companies like Apple continue to go unpunished for shipping jobs overseas.
So, either way I think all this dirt digging by both sides is a waste of time and energy while our middle class continues to be neglected and abused.

You do not make an accusation like this unless you have the evidence to make it stick and it's evidence that can be released. I would not put this past ("they bring a knife we bring a gun") Odummy or the scum with which he populated the Justice Department. But it only hurts Trump unless he has absolute proof that can be seen by the public. If that's the case, some people need to go to prison. Will be interesting to see where this goes.

FoxNews has proven itself to be an unreliable source ever since shortly after the Iraq invasion when it claimed weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq, which was later proven false.
A Trump spokeswoman was on ABC's This Week this morning and she could not provide proof of this. If they had proof that was the time to show it.

Trump is a media expert. Whatever else you think of him, realize he's been a celebrity for decades and knows all about appearances.
Its impossible Trump would NOT have the proof.
Calling for Congress to investigate, if that report is correct....is to keep it in the news cycle for months.
That wouldn't affect his going public (at the time of his choosing) with evidence he has, to amplify and augment the effect on the news cycle.
Already Pelosi and crew are protesting they don't do such underhanded things. This doesn't just look bad for Dummy its gonna affect the entire Democrat Party and the Media.
Even those rioters in the street are gonna look stupid.

That sounds pretty unbiased and objective to me. Yes, he has made accusations without concrete evidence. I think it was a mistake to make this accusation without hard evidence. I will also say that all this tit for tat between Trump haters and Trump supporters is completely unproductive. I would rather them be fighting over issues instead of who has the worst scandals because they're all dirty anyway.
Meanwhile, the middle class continues to suffer and wages continue to be stagnant and we continue to drift towards a two class society and eventually back to an aristocracy or some form of it.

And that was probably the real reason. I'm a democrat, but I think them going after Sessions is a witch hunt. My feelings is that the REAL reason they went after Sessions is because he is an anti-globalist and particularly anti H-1B. There is almost always an underlying reason that lies just below the superficial reasons. The globalists don't want their apple cart overturned.

Sideshows are very distracting, and also very successful.
We used to have a great District Attorney, Henry Wade, here in Dallas for 20 years or more.
I don't think in his 20 year history here, he ever lost a single case.
But it was back in the 50's and 60's when was legal to smoke in court rooms. (Can you remember that?)
Henry Wade would previously insert a wire into his cigar before trial. When the defense was up presenting their case, Henry Wade would be smoking and holding his cigar, and because of the wire, the ashes would just keep getting longer and longer without falling off.
In fact, the people of the jury would be so caught up in watching those ashes on the cigar keep getting longer, and watching to see when they were going to fall off and make a huge mess, they weren't paying attention to anything else.
Yes, it was such a distraction for the jury, they weren't even paying attention to key defense testimonies.
It was a huge advantage for the district of attorney, and he never lost a case.
Well, those are the same tactics Donald Trump is using with fake news by distracting the press, and everyone else on what they should be focusing on.
That is how he got elected!
We should have been focusing on what a lying jerk he was instead of all the bullshit.

If the democrats can make all kinds of allegations about the Trump people colluding with the Russians to help Trump win, then Trump can make allegations about Obama wire tapping his phones.
This morning James Clapper, former head of DNI, said there wasn't any evidence of Trump's people colluding with the Russian up to the point of his recent retirement. Tom Cotton of the senate intelligence panel backed him up.
Conversely, there isn't any evidence of Obama tapping Trump's phone. I figure Trump with his often Machiavellian thinking, decided to give the scumbag democrats like Schumer and Pelosi a taste of their own medicine.
One thing is for sure. The democrats are trying as hard as they can to distract Trump from his objective to improve the lives of Americans. This is going to back fire. We are fed up with their obstructionist policies to keep us mired in their vat of PC liberal useless shit.

The sociopath will always accuse YOU of what they are guilty of themselves.
Now I’m not saying all Democrats are sociopath’s. However there are enough of them in elected positions where they can have a negative impact on the way other people think.
Everything happening is designed to discredit President Trump. The worst fears of the Democrats would be for someone like Sessions to start digging dirt on certain elected members of the Democratic Party including HRC. The Democrats fear Trump for the same reason the Russians feared Reagan. Both Trump and Reagan were and are unpredictable.

Where there is smoke, there is always a fire.
But, one thing that statistics prove time and time again, and that is the smoke will kill you long before the fire gets to you.
In Texas, we know what a brush fire is. Just a spark from a car muffler can start a fire, and it can blaze over 50 square miles of grassland and brush before it can be brought under control.
The problem for Donald Trump is he keeps sparking these grass fires, and they will, in due time, burn his administration and legacy to the ground!
My parents taught me not to play with fire, and obviously Donald Trump never learned that!

The part that none of you want to get, the meetings
you're showing here are irrelevant.
Why?
They're open, in full view of the public and
press.
Not secret meetings that they denied having.
False equivalency fail.

Sorry for the wall of text... but there's some good stuff in here.
Radio host Mark Levin used his Thursday evening show to outline the known steps taken by President Barack Obama’s administration in its last months to undermine Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and, later, his new administration.
Levin called Obama’s effort “police state” tactics, and suggested that Obama’s actions, rather than conspiracy theories about alleged Russian interference in the presidential election to help Trump, should be the target of congressional investigation.
Drawing on sources including the New York Times and the Washington Post, Levin described the case against Obama so far, based on what is already publicly known. The following is an expanded version of that case, including events that Levin did not mention specifically but are important to the overall timeline.
1. June 2016: FISA request. The Obama administration files a request with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to monitor communications involving Donald Trump and several advisers. The request, uncharacteristically, is denied.
2. July: Russia joke. Wikileaks releases emails from the Democratic National Committee that show an effort to prevent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) from winning the presidential nomination. In a press conference, Donald Trump refers to Hillary Clinton’s own missing emails, joking: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing.” That remark becomes the basis for accusations by Clinton and the media that Trump invited further hacking.
3. October: Podesta emails. In October, Wikileaks releases the emails of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, rolling out batches every day until the election, creating new mini-scandals. The Clinton campaign blames Trump and the Russians.
4. October: FISA request. The Obama administration submits a new, narrow request to the FISA court, now focused on a computer server in Trump Tower suspected of links to Russian banks. No evidence is found — but the wiretaps continue, ostensibly for national security reasons, Andrew McCarthy at National Review later notes. The Obama administration is now monitoring an opposing presidential campaign using the high-tech surveillance powers of the federal intelligence services.
5. January 2017: Buzzfeed/CNN dossier. Buzzfeed releases, and CNN reports, a supposed intelligence “dossier” compiled by a foreign former spy. It purports to show continuous contact between Russia and the Trump campaign, and says that the Russians have compromising information about Trump. None of the allegations can be verified and some are proven false. Several media outlets claim that they had been aware of the dossier for months and that it had been circulating in Washington.
6. January: Obama expands NSA sharing. As Michael Walsh later notes, and as the New York Times reports, the outgoing Obama administration “expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections.” The new powers, and reduced protections, could make it easier for intelligence on private citizens to be circulated improperly or leaked.
7. January: Times report. The New York Times reports, on the eve of Inauguration Day, that several agencies — the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Treasury Department are monitoring several associates of the Trump campaign suspected of Russian ties. Other news outlets also report the exisentence of “a multiagency working group to coordinate investigations across the government,” though it is unclear how they found out, since the investigations would have been secret and involved classified information.
8. February: Mike Flynn scandal. Reports emerge that the FBI intercepted a conversation in 2016 between future National Security Adviser Michael Flynn — then a private citizen — and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. The intercept supposedly was part of routine spying on the ambassador, not monitoring of the Trump campaign. The FBI transcripts reportedly show the two discussing Obama’s newly-imposed sanctions on Russia, though Flynn earlier denied discussing them. Sally Yates, whom Trump would later fire as acting Attorney General for insubordination, is involved in the investigation. In the end, Flynn resigns over having misled Vice President Mike Pence (perhaps inadvertently) about the content of the conversation.
9. February: Times claims extensive Russian contacts. The New York Times cites “four current and former American officials” in reporting that the Trump campaign had “repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials. The Trump campaign denies the claims — and the Times admits that there is “no evidence” of coordination between the campaign and the Russians. The White House and some congressional Republicans begin to raise questions about illegal intelligence leaks.
10. March: the Washington Post targets Jeff Sessions. The Washington Post reports that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had contact twice with the Russian ambassador during the campaign — once at a Heritage Foundation event and once at a meeting in Sessions’s Senate office. The Post suggests that the two meetings contradict Sessions’s testimony at his confirmation hearings that he had no contacts with the Russians, though in context (not presented by the Post) it was clear he meant in his capacity as a campaign surrogate, and that he was responding to claims in the “dossier” of ongoing contacts. The New York Times, in covering the story, adds that the Obama White House “rushed to preserve” intelligence related to alleged Russian links with the Trump campaign. By “preserve” it really means “disseminate”: officials spread evidence throughout other government agencies “to leave a clear trail of intelligence for government investigators” and perhaps the media as well.
In summary: the Obama administration sought, and eventually obtained, authorization to eavesdrop on the Trump campaign; continued monitoring the Trump team even when no evidence of wrongdoing was found; then relaxed the NSA rules to allow evidence to be shared widely within the government, virtually ensuring that the information, including the conversations of private citizens, would be leaked to the media.
Levin called the effort a “silent coup” by the Obama administration and demanded that it be investigated.
In addition, Levin castigated Republicans in Congress for focusing their attention on Trump and Attorney General Sessions rather than Obama.

To get an indictment, you have to be able to show a grand jury that there is a good probability that a crime was committed, and that the one accused probably committed it. There is not enough ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE to even SUGGEST that Obama MAY have done what Trump accuses him of. Hearsay, supposition, innuendo, rumor, and the rantings of an insane idiot, do NOT qualify as Admissible Evidence. Too bad, so sad. Obama wins again.

Obama did NOT illegally wiretap anyone.
I WILL tell you what he DID do.
Obama spread Urushiol-the 'poisonous' sap in Poison Ivy-all over various objects in the WH which Trump is likely to touch...the gold plated bathroom faucet handles, a nude statuette of Nicky Minaj, The Red Phone, etc. Trump WILL touch these things, eventually, and so develop a poison ivy rash on his hands, and the parts of his body his hands touch.
You didn't know that Barack's nickname-in school-was 'The Prankster'...did you?
Obama further arranged-with the doctors Trump is likely to consult-to convince Trump that his rash is the first symptom of The Black Syph, which the US Army developed in order to infect wh*res frequented by Viet Cong during The Viet Nam Conflict. The docs will then ask Trump about all of his recent sexual contacts...so they can test, and treat, those he may have infected. Details of those contacts will then be leaked to the press.
Trump does things in the big, stupid, common, ineffective way. Obama does things in the small, sly, discreet, effective way.

The sociopath will always accuse YOU of what they are guilty of themselves.
Now I’m not saying all Democrats are sociopath’s. However there are enough of them in elected positions where they can have a negative impact on the way other people think.
Everything happening is designed to discredit President Trump. The worst fears of the Democrats would be for someone like Sessions to start digging dirt on certain elected members of the Democratic Party including HRC. The Democrats fear Trump for the same reason the Russians feared Reagan. Both Trump and Reagan were and are unpredictable.
Many republicans don't like Trump either. Replace the word Democrats with Globalists and you would be spot on. The globalists control both parties. We need take a step farther back so we can see the whole forest rather than just the nearby trees.

Obama did not obtain a court order for the wiretapping. But he has a lot more to worry about than wiretapping. He is guilty of sedition. See the link:
Loretta Lynch: "need more marching, blood, death on the streets"; Senate Democrats post her impassioned plea on Facebook page as “words of inspiration”: See the link:
http://www.wnd.com/2017/03/loretta-lynch-need-more-marching-blood-death-on-streets/
Obama brought Lynch into his Washington DC mansion to help him direct the communist insurrection against President Trump and against America. He is doing this on orders from Soros who is helping to fund the operation. And all those involved with Obama have a communist background.
You see, the Communist Party USA, realizing that the American people would never vote it into power, that the American people would never march under the banner of communism, but that they would march under the banner of Liberalism and Progressivism, infiltrated the Democratic Party and seized control of its leadership. The principal members of the Democratic leadership today are members of the Communist International. And they will stop at nothing to control the nation.
Obama, with the aid of the Democratic Party in Congress, is trying to start a Communist Revolution in American, a revolution funded by George Soros. Communist Revolutions have always been bloody affairs marked by brutal violence. Obama has been handing out booklets to the demonstrators he is hiring and training to protest Trump and Conservative speakers at Universities and such, and the pamphlet specifically calls for them to resort to violence.
President Trump needs to arrest ex president Obama and his crew for fomenting sedition against a sitting president and try them for treason and publicly hang them all.

---------------------------------
When YOU say "Many republicans", aren't you referring to RINO's?
"Many republicans" don't forget, voted for Trump in overwhelming numbers. That fact proves
"Many republicans" support Trump.
How about replacing the word "Globalists" with The International J()() (tm).
Wouldn't it be fair to say The International J()()'s (tm) control both parties?
Wouldn't it be fair to say The International J()()'s (tm) control both parties, because they are blackmailing them?
Wouldn't it be fair to say The International J()()'s (tm) who control both parties HATE Trump because they cannot blackmail him?

Bobby, we aren't heading for communism. We are heading towards the very thing our founding fathers fought against. We are heading towards a form of aristocracy. Marxism/communism has been but a blip in human history. In contrast aristocracy in one form or another has been the predominant form of rule through most of human history. What we are witnessing is an insidious form of aristocratic rule returning.
Take another look at the ruling families of the world order. The Hapsburgs, the Plantanganets, the Hanovers, etc. Now where have we seen those names before?
Study your history if you don't know.

Perhaps, you should study your own history.
You are either WAYYY behind the loop or you are deliberately covering up for the marxist communists. I think it's likely the latter.
"Blip", my *zz.
You know who tries to marginalize marxist communism?
Answer: OTHER marxist Communists.
Marxist Communists like yourself, perhaps?
Tell us, nole? Do you know what a Sayanim is?

Only a buffoon blames all the worlds problems on one ethnic group. That's like saying the aristocracies of the middle ages in Europe were all Druish. The aristocracies of post Roman Europe where just the descendants of warlords that filled the vacuum after the fall of the Roman empire. They weren't f**king Druish.

Obama has responded to the accusations against him that he knew of the wiretapping on Trump and associates. He speaks as if it did happen, but he is not the one who did it.
He is blaming it on the DOJ. Does he mean Loretta Lynch is responsible?
Or, is he likely stonewalling knowing he gave the order to Lynch to wiretap Trump and associates?
