WASHINGTON — The speaker of the House, the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman and the ranking Democrat on the committee said Thursday that they’ve seen no evidence of President Donald Trump’s accusation that he was wiretapped last year by his predecessor.
Senate Intelligence Committee chair Richard Burr and ranking member Mark Warner issued a statement Thursday, saying “based on the information available to us, we see no indications that Trump Tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the United States government either before or after Election Day 2016.”
The statement from the leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee marks the clearest and strongest refutation of Trump’s allegations since the President first made them two weeks ago. The senators statement also addresses Trump’s more recent statement that he was not merely speaking about wiretapping specifically.
The rope-a-dope is coming...
Now that they took the bait, how long before Trump sets the hook with proof of a wiretap/surveillance and rips their lips off?
It sounds to me like they aren’t looking.
There you go like clock work!!! By tonight it’ll be all over REAL FAKE NEWS and my gullible sister in law will be eating it like cheese cake demanding article 2 be deployed!! UGH!!! Freakin BENEDICT ARNOLD RYAN should keep his Freakin piehole shut too!!
Just because they don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
I truly don’t believe a word of what Eddie Munster says anymore. Not a word.
“These wacky pronouncements are hindering our ability to obfuscate and dither.”
Trump has promised “very interesting items” over the next two weeks.
That's what they will all hang their hats on.
From the parsing, they are purposely staying away from intel swapping with foreign partners.

It’s the same Paul Ryan who insists that amending ACA is repealing ACA. He’s a bald faced liar.
And Trump is going to take on this punk when?

Please, the reason the committee hasn’t seen evidence is because the JD has yet to present it. They recently asked for a an extension to comply with the committee’s request.
...by any element of the United States government...
That’s what they will all hang their hats on.

Yep. Judge Napolitano claimed a few days ago he had several sources telling him it was the Brits, who then turned over their results to counterparts in the US.
