So we are to believe they wiretapped Mike Flynn, Page, Papadapolis and others, but had no interest in capturing Trump’s communications. Yeah, sure.

An evasive and tricky answer. Monitored and captured communications of the FISA Warrant objective plus two levels downstream ... didn’t directly physically wiretap his phone.

No you aren’t imagining it. It was no less than Admiral Mike Rogers, head of the NSA who went to Trump Towers and warned him.

I thought this was from the Babylon Bee.

The FBI used transcripts of Flynn’s calls against him I think he made those callas from Trump Towers.

The IG can ONLY ask questions of people who are current department employees. IOW, he’s useless because of that limitation.

They should have asked Horowitz if they knew why the whole Trump transition team moved out of Trump Tower after Admiral Rogers met with Trump in November 2016.

I am seriously disappointed in the way the Republican Senators handled this. AND how Fox handled this. Every single time they had a commercial break, it was when a Republican Senator was beginning his questions.

Yep - the lack of evidence, due to a lack of diligent searching, “exonerates” them but in order to exonerate Trump they wanted the impossible “prove a negative” crap to be the ‘standard”...Horowitz’s report is proof of political bias as a motive - and it was clear by the way he hedged his answers when being questioned by Lindsey Graham...

Trump tweeted that the FBI had his “wires tapped” because there was a front page article in the NY Times on January 20, 2017 with the headline “Wiretapped Data Used In Inquiry of Trump Aides”. 2 months later the Slimes said Trump’s claims were “baseless” - which is actually true, since everything in the Slimes is Bulls**t so Trump should not have believed the 1/20/2017 article. The irony and hypocrisy is stunning.

Thanks, I put up the link to the article but the picture is a classic.

True - but just because Horowitz didn’t “find any evidence” of illegal wiretaps doesn’t mean there weren’t any...
