Well, well, well. Hope the "destroy Trump" media enjoys the taste of crow now that it has been revealed that, yes, Virginia, Trump Tower and its occupants who were in contact with both candidate and President-elect Trump, including one Paul Manafort, were in fact wiretapped as Trump claimed. Obamas DOJ and James Comey were both liars in denying the wiretapping for which Trump was widely mocked:
Department of Justice lawyers say that the department has no evidence for President Trumps controversial claim that President Obama ordered wiretaps of Trump Tower during last years presidential campaign. In a filing made public on Friday, the lawyers wrote that both the FBI and [National Security Division] confirm that they have no records related to wiretaps as described by Trump. The filing was made in response to a Freedom of Information Act request made by the group American Oversight.In a series of early-morning tweets sent on March 4, Trump had claimed, without offering any evidence, that he had just found out that Obama had tapped Trump Tower toward the end of last years presidential race.
When asked about Trump Tower being wiretapped, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said that he would have been aware of any FISA court-ordered surveillance of Trump Tower and the Trump surrogates within during the campaign by the Obama administration., He says he was not, implying there was none:

Read the weasel wording.
They denied that they “ had any records” of wiretapping ( aka electronic surveillance)
Perhaps those records hsve mystetiously surfaced, like Hillary’s Rose Law Firm records
Nothing will happen on this until, at a minimum, Sessions is ousted at the DoJ.
Sessions is a worm. A doormat. Nice guy, but he needs to move to The Villages and get a luxury golf cart.
Of course, nothing at all will come of this, since this fits the modus operandi of the MSM "Drive-by-Media" where they pull up, spray bullets, and run off, never looking back. If nothing came of it, it is as if their accusations never happened.
That said, I love the line quoted above. It only leaves two choices:
1.) James Clapper was incompetent and out of touch with operations.
2.) James Clapper was lying.
I admit to liking the pigeonhole that forces Clapper into.
Gun-wielding FBI agents at pre-dawn burst into Manaforts home (frisk his innocent wife)
NY Post | Sept 19, 2017 | David K. Li / FR Posted by Oshkalaboomboom
Gun-wielding FBI agents busted into Paul Manaforts home as he was asleep in bed and even searched his wife for weapons, it was revealed Tuesday. Agents took an unusually tough approach in executing a search warrant, dealing with potential financial crimes by President Trumps former campaign chief, sources familiar with the July 25 raid, told CNN.
The pre-dawn, guns-blazing tactics and weapons search of Kathleen Manafort left the Alexandria, Va. couple shaken, according to CNNs report. Manafort is in the crosshairs of special counsel Robert Mueller, as he probes Russian interference into the 2016 presidential election.
Muellers dovetail investigation of Manafort stretches into potential financial wrongdoing dating back to January, 2006. (Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
=============================================
Mueller's people claim that this tactic of the feds invading a home, guns blazing, doing searches of a spouse, is used "to send a message to other potential witnesses."
Oops....golly gee.
That's not quite the same message the feds sent Hillary, and her staffers, when they met by appointment and weren't even sworn in.
(HAT TIP Oshkalaboomboom)
Some Hillary factotums even got immunity for testifying. Chairman Trey Gowdy posed for a smiling picture w/ Cheryl Mills after she lied, er, I mean, testified before his committee. Talk about kid gloves.
I guess the message is "don't mess with the Swamp."
========================
Let's pass this along.
CONTACT CONGRESS: Capitol Switchboard 1-866-220-0044
Call President Trump: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414
Misleading Congress by weasel words is also illegal, with or without a formal oath:

You have both stated the dogma.
Neither has any solid evidence to back up the posts
With all of this surveillance involving people in the Trump campaign, you can be sure that Sessions was recorded in some of these conversations. There's no way he could oversee any investigation in these matters.
You are too kind. I think it is more likely that he is a deep cover agent for the Uniparty who is making sure that Hillary and the rest of the Left are protected and that Mueller is left to finish his job of destroying and indicting Trump and various members of his administration.
Nobody cares about the truth now.
Excellent point.
Sessions advised candidate Trump on the illegal problem... possibly many times by phone.
Sessions came up w/ the definitive statement to solve the problem.....even as Trump campaigned.
"Dedicated, hard-working public servant" FBI Director James Comey assured us that "we are not weasels."
Juan Williams, who "supports the hard-working, patriotic men and women of our intelligence services" agrees and that should be good enough for everyone.
/S
Sessions? I thought he died awhile back.
Given Clapper’s record of both, its a toss
But I’ll take “ lying” for $1000, Alex
Going to the Rose Garden----Obama formally nominated James Comey as the seventh FBI
director and thanked his predecessor, Robert Mueller, for being "an exemplary public servant."
SOURCE abcnews.go.com
CNN reported Monday evening that the US government, under President Barack Obama, had wiretapped Donald Trumps former campaign manager, Paul Manafort both during after the 2016 presidential campaign. The report vindicates earlier reporting by conservative talk radio host Mark Levin, and by Breitbart News, which the entire mainstream media attempted to dismiss at the time as a conspiracy theory to mock Trump and to protect Obama.
The media pounced after President Trump tweeted on March 4: Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my wires tapped in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism! Leading the conspiracy theory charge was none other than CNN itself.
Brian Stelter, host of Reliable Sources, wrote at the time that the wiretapping story was an incendiary idea floated by Levin, Breitbart News, and others before reaching Trumps attention. CNNs Jeff Zeleny specifically reported that the Breitbart News story about the wiretapping had been widely read in the West Wing of the White House.
Was Breitbart the main source for Trumps tweet? Stelter wondered. He had little interest in the underlying story, which had stitched together facts from mainstream media reports in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and other sources. Instead, Stelter and others at CNN poured scorn on the idea...... And so it has.
Literally the entire mainstream media were wrong, and Mark Levin and Breitbart News and Trump himself were right. And we were right because the facts were sitting in front of our noses, in bold print at the top of the front page of the New York Times.
But for the mainstream media, it was more important to protect Obama, to demonize Trump, and to smear conservative media outlets. Call it a fake news conspiracy to cover up the truth. (Excerpt) more at breitbart.com ...
The damage is STILL being done.
The main purpose of all this RUSSIA garbage is not to impeach the president...
it is to STALL the presidents agenda!!!
Run out the clock and hope to retake at least one branch of congress in 2018!
Trey Gowdy is AS RESPONSIBLE as the Fraud for the Fraud’s crimes against America for the SIX YEARS Trey was in the House during the Fraud’s reign.
Bad Trey, BAD!
