You mean they used that secret and secure communication device known as Twitter? That is almost as nefarious method of asking the arussians to release Hillarys email by national media

Note that while he denied wiretapping explicitly, he didn’t deny any other forms of surveillance or monitoring.

IMHO one of the most things to come out of the hearing today is that President Trump and his associates have been under an FBI investigation since July 2016. My question is this. What is involved with an FBI investigation of this type?

I assume their are different types of surveillance going on in order to gather information. One more thing I learned today on the Hannity show is that the Trump server is not in the Trump Tower. So there may me some playing with words going on here.

IMHO this testimony goes a long way in supporting Trumps claim he was “wire tapped”.

I read the whole thing at the link. The author is not familiar to me and I could be completely wrong but she sounds like a concern troll to me.

I’m beginning to think that the first 2-3 days of a President’s term can cause or eliminate a lot of heartache. Firing people now is very different than firing them along with many others within the first few days.

What didn’t get asked:

“Director Comey, using the same criteria and evaluation methods you used to determine that Russia “hated Hillary” and wanted to “Hurt Her” and “Helped Trump” and thereby influence our election, shouldn’t we be investigating YOU for OPENING an INVESTIGATION into Hillary’s emails server and then CLOSING said investigation, to then REOPEN said investigation about 10 days prior to the election and then ABRUPTLY again CLOSING said investigation again less than 72 hours before the election?

Seems to me, it wouldn’t take a MIND READER to believe, based on the SAME CRITERIA you used to evaluate the MOTIVE of Russia and Hillary, that perhaps YOU had some MOTIVE in INFLUENCING the election? Isn’t it EVIDENT that YOU, yes YOU Mr. Comey INFLUENCED the election FAR MORE than Russia ever did as reflected in the Polls?”

But alas, this will NOT get asked.....

If you know he’s “smarter than this” why do you constantly rail about Trump not firing Comey? Either you think Trump is too stupid to fire someone (which is his claim to fame afte rall) or maybe he’s smarter than you know. Maybe he and his team are privvy to information (including classified info) that the general public is not. Maybe AG Sessions who is Comey’s boss is not an idiot either, but has other reasons for doing what he is doing.

It seems to me more prudent to allow those who are closest to the situation and who have the best knowledge and expertise do things their way. If you don’t think Trump and Sessions are idiots, then consider that there may be investigations and other matters in-process that will ultimately pay big dividends.

This congressoinal hearing is a show where Shiff and his pals will grandstand for the cameras and Republicans like Gowdy will make some soundbite statements but not actually do anything just like they haven’t done anything all these years.

Both Manafort and Tad Devine consulted for Victor Yanukovych.

Manfort was viciously attacked for being “linked to Russia”. Not a peep was said about Devine, who worked for Sanders

Why is that?

NSA gives our intelligence on Euro citizens. Euro countries give NSA their intelligence on their citizens.

Neither organization has violated their own laws but get the data on citizens otherwise prohibited.

Drain the F’n Swamp.

Podesta wasnt hacked ! He was phished ! He exposed himself. He fell for a link and he clicked on it. Idiots keep saying he was hacked. Big difference.

I was just listening to Hannity when a caller said that Comey said that the FBI had no evidence of Trump being wiretapped.

No, not at all; Comey said he had “no knowledge” which is a different concept from saying it did not happen, especially since he may have intended his response to the word “wiretap” if that term was used in the question (I did not see the hearings).

I hear of things happening all the time that I have no knowledge of.

How else, other than by surveillance, can you investigate a foreign intelligence operation? Ask them if they did it? Do the Congressman assume any of the supposed guilty parties would just own up to it?

Spicer was right. The only these investigations prove is that democrats don’t have the intelligence.

That’s because Trump really messed up by saying “Obama wiretapped me”.

He should have said Obama administration used a wide variety of surveillance techniques to listen, intercept, share, leak me and my administration.

Comey should be fired forthwith.He absolutely CAN be fired.William Sessions was fired by Bill the rapist !! Trump— get that SOB out of your government.I know you are smarter than this!!
________________________________________________________

There is some BIG reason why Trump hasn’t dumped Comey long ago. As you say, Trump is smarter than that. Does anyone have a clue or even a wild guess why Comey is still there?

IIRC, that Twitter exchange took place after the hack.

They conflate Podesta’s idiocy w/the DNC penetration and yet, conveniently ignore the facilitated Awan penetration into the databases of the House Dem committees on intelligence, which I believe includes DHS and Foreign Affairs(? not sure about the 3rd one). It has all the earmarks of an intelligence funnel to the Pakis, Turkey and (maybe) Russia.

Trump tweeted about DNC not allowing FBI to look at their computer systems after the hack. Trump is up to speed. Corsi said he told Trump about the years of NSA surveillance of Trump & his organization sometime last week.

I know people here are both fanatically for and against Gowdy, but he did set Comey up today. I haven’t had time to hear the entire hearing, just round one of Gowdy’s questioning.

I’m going to vote for a long game.

As for PPV, I’d love to see someone punch out Schiff (D-HRC).
