Trump says Obama wiretapped his campaign, Joy Reid laughs it off
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/04/2017 9:45:59 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

What’s the proper response to allegations that the administration of a President of the United States wiretapped the campaign of the candidate of the opposing party? Why, laughter, of course . . . if you’re Joy Reid and her merry band of liberals. On her show this morning, mirth was repeatedly on the menu during a segment regarding the allegation that the FBI, under President Obama, wiretapped members of the Trump campaign in the month leading up to the election.

Interviewing a Dem congressman, Reid chortled as she asked “does it disturb you a little bit that the President of the United States doesn’t know that the President of the United States doesn’t order wiretaps?” Right. It’s the FBI. A part of the executive branch whose head is . . . the President of the United States.

And when Reid heard another guest laughing, she turned to him: “because you’re laughing, I have to turn to you. It is sort of funny, but it is sort of disturbing, as well.”

What does Shmuck know, and when did he know it?
New Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump is “being really dumb” by taking on the intelligence community and its assessments on Russia’s cyber activities.
“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
“So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this.”

Will they still laugh it off if proven true?

Somehow I doubt this person even knows the three branches of government from one day to the next.

And how many times do these idiots on the left have to keep brushing off what Trump says, only to then look like idiots a few days later?

And remember what President Trump has said: “When you stay somewhere, make sure what you do and say are way above board, there are the tiniest things that can tract you”...

Yet Barky still didn’t get the message that President Trump knew what he was doing...how smart is Barky??? That should tell you right there...

Here’s the bottom line: Obama invented the “Russia did it” ruse as an excuse to tap the Trump campaign’s phone lines and to give any valuable information to the Clinton campaign. This is Watergate squared.

Isn’t Joy Reid the one who laughed hysterically at Ann Coulter’s prediction that DJT would win the Presidency?

Uh oh. Remember the last time ol’ Joy laughed someone off, thinking she was so bloody smart? I believe it was when Ann Coulter said Donald Trump would be president.

It’s a good sign to have Joy laugh this off - wait for it!

Obama’s minions in the Ministry of Propaganda have no choice but to laugh it off at this point.

First they ignore you, then they laugh, then you fight, then you win.

Yup, among others on the Maher show:

I hope to God Trump has the guts to go after this.

He’s in an existential battle, whether he likes it or not.

At the end of it, either Barry or he will be in a cell at Guantanamo Bay.

Obama is innocent until proven guilty.

Trump is guilty until proven innocent.

More likely they will continue to use this to mock Trump. You will never, ever find a Soetoro operative to turn.

The MSM will line up false narratives to make a laughing stock of Trump and his administration.
