CNN quick to declare Obama innocent of wiretapping accusation — but Twitter says ‘not so fast’

President Donald Trump on Saturday accused former President Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower in the latter stages of last year’s presidential campaign. A spokesman for Obama was quick to deny the accusations, while congressmen and women have vowed to get to the bottom of the accusations.

Either way, it’s hard for anyone at this point to make a determination either way whether or not Trump’s accusations against Obama are true or full of hot air.

However, that didn’t stop CNN on Saturday from fully declaring Obama’s innocence.

Running a story about Trump’s claims Saturday, CNN declared: “Trump falsely accuses Obama of wiretapping him.”

Their messiah can do no wrong. He’s as pure as the driven snow.

CNN also likes the run with fake news and bury the truth.

The media are under scrutiny right now. The normal response would be to be more cautious. They continue to go out on a limb for their cause. They will most probably be proven wrong in this case. This will reinforce people’s belief that they cannot be trusted.

I think it’s the old plausible deniability dodge.FISA requests don’t come from the POTUS (wink, wink) so technically Obama did not tap any phone. Now, Lynch ....

That is the best outcome. I have a dream of a skeptical public.

They just named Jarrett’s daughter as a commentator. Do you think they care?

This all reminds me of a job I had 20 years ago with a spring water company. We had this one guy Mike who was in charge of the warehouse who would constantly accuse employees of stealing until one day the security guard at the gate kept seeing Mike pull a route truck out into the street and take off, and he thought “that’s strange being that Mike doesn’t do a route”. So this security guard decided to follow him one day in his car and discovered Mike was ripping off truck loads of spring water and unloading it into his own personal warehouse, basically ripping off tens of thousands of dollars of product.

The point being is that what Democrats are doing is the same exact thing as Mike: They are accusing Trump and the Russians of doing the VERY THING THEY DID WHICH IS INTERFERE IN AN ELECTION! Trump and the Russians did NOTHING, but Obama, the Democrats and the media HAVE! And they are all ticked off because it didn’t work, they lost, and now they are being exposed for the lying cheating frauds they are!

Of course they are. The worshiping doesn’t stop just because the man-child isn’t POTUS anymore.

GW Bush national guard story... Fake but accurate
Trump hiring Russian hookers to urinate on his bed.... Fake but accurate
Russians hacked the election... Fake but accurate.

Trump accusing Obama of tapping phones with new evidence arriving hourly... BASELESS. WIthout Merit. Unfounded

CNN’s motto should be “We can’t be bought because were already owned!”
