Are PRESIDENT TRUMPS unpredictable travel plans putting a kink into illegal surveillance?

Good Lord, what next? Are they going to check his bathroom to see if he’s conserving water when he runs a shower?

Why wasn’t this anti-trump watchdog on the job when Obama was vacationing in Hawaii every 90 days?

Its probably the only place they haven’t bugged, so they don’t want him staying there.

How were things, kept secret in Hawaii while Obama vacationed?

These people have no right to dictate to Trump where he goes.

They have proven themselves irrelevant, in light of HRC’s “indiscretions”.

But Hillary having an unsecured server in her bathroom or the “Energizer Bunny” showing up when Hillary wasn’t home didn’t raise one red flag.

Out of the blue EXPENSES by a President are important. Where has everyone been for the past 8 years?

Who hires these people? Should be an investigation into every agency or group investigating President Trump.

Zero security at Mar-a-Lago is more security than the WH.

I thought I read the SS agents were comped accommodations (& likely meals) at Mar-A-Lago. It’s a pricey venue.

If guests at the resort are screened, it is obviously because it is the SS’s brief to screen people in proximity to the POTUS.

Didn’t they previously have a hissy over DJT using his own plane to travel? No thought of the $$ that saved, was there?

But, ah, not a peep about Obama’s uber expensive trips off the mainland to Hawaii and vacations around the world. Liberals are all about transference.
