"""SAME NY Times Reporter Said Trump Team Was Wiretapped In Jan., But Said TRUMP Lacked Evidence In March"""

On January 19th and 20th 2017, The NY Times reported that wiretaps of people on the Trump team were passed along to the Obama White House, one of the story’s authors was Michael S. Schmidt. On Saturday that same Michael S. Schmidt was one of the reporters who wrote the story, “Trump, Offering No Evidence, Says Obama Tapped His Phones.” That’s right, the same NY Times reporter who was one of the sources for the President’s claim, said that there was no evidence for the claim.

The first story by Mr. Schmidt appeared on the NY Times website the evening of January 19, 2017 and appeared on the front page of the paper the morning of Inauguration Day, January 20, 2017:

They’re just making it up as they go along.

They don’t know what the hell they said yesterday, let alone in January. And it doesn’t matter anyway, to their readers, who just want a steady diet of Trump-hate.

They don’t have any idea what they’re doing, and anyone who thinks they do is a fool.

The left’s agenda is the same that it’s been since I was born. It doesn’t matter who it is, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or Al Franken. It’s to “Agitate, agitate, agitate.

The New York Times confirms that the New York Times is fake news. This is enough to get your head into a twist... Seems like we're caught in the Liar's paradox with the media now:

He needs to be asked: was he lying then or lying now?

Good find.Not only the fact that the Times confirmed his campaign aides were wiretapped but that some of the script from the wiretap was sent to the White House. If Trump administration can get their hands on the script that ipso facto is proof there was a tap and the opposition party was
accessing campaign info through the tap.

Lefties are lying SOB’s, and; they are a disgrace to our founding fathers plus all who have fought in this nation’s wars since the beginning of the Revolutionary War.

Are there any named sources confirming that Russia sought to interfere with the election? This has been assumed for months now and attention then turned to whether there was any collusion between “Trump World,” as Chris Wallace calls it, and Russia.

All those who have been asked (even unnamed sources) have admitted there have been no facts uncovered to prove any Trump World-Russia collusion.

But just back up to the original premise: Russia sought to influence the election. I recall news agencies citing multiple intelligence agencies for this point. Did those agencies publish any report or is the media relying on anonymous sources?

Maybe the Internet and its many instantaneous search engines have not yet been installed at the NYT. Of the three, I love the Internet and search engines.

Doesn’t this dope have a memory? Or at least archives. When I worked at major daily papers in Dallas and Indianapolis, the FIRST thing we did was check the clip file BEFORE interviewing or writing a story.

Or. Did the dope think that nobody would check the Net?

I love it when these fools embarrass themselves.

Exit Question: Will this guy ever be called upon to reconcile his contradiction?

You know, right after Trump and Melania came down the escalator on June 17, 2015, you just know Obama started full on surveillance of Donald Trump and used all the resources of the Federal government to do this. The issue will be to prove it. Hopefully, there will be whistle-blowers in the NSA, CIA or FBI that will come forward with proof. You know Hillary, Valerie and Obama had a meeting, then called in Loretta Lynch and said go for it.

In June, 2016, Loretta told Bill, or vice-versa, (What difference does it make), “We better get a FISA request to cover our behinds.” So, they go through the motions, but it’s turned down. They’re covered though because if a FISA is in process, they can claim plausible deniability, or we’re applying for a new one later, working on it now.

In October, 2016, they panicked when they saw Trump might win. They watered down the FISA, left Trump’s name out, and applied again. This one was approved and Obama is smiling thinking, “Now I’m covered.” He was golfing and telling illegals to vote and probably didn’t even think he might be in trouble as he thought the deep state had guaranteed a Hillary win. Either way, he’s smiling and has plausible deniability, or so he thinks. He thinks he’s untouchable.

Hey Obama, No you’re not. What you did was unlawful, despicable, smacks of tyranny and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This behavior is not and will not be permitted by persons in power in these United States. This is not the Soviet Union or a Banana Republic. Your war on America is about to cease. Every movement, every call, every discussion in now being monitored by the full extent of the surveillance capability of the United States. Bank on it. Tread softly and forget about the stick. We are watching you.

I've only seen innuendo and politicians claiming to have information that no one has seen. From my perspective: Is it likely, yes? Is there conclusive evidence, no.

All those who have been asked (even unnamed sources) have admitted there have been no facts uncovered to prove any Trump World-Russia collusion.

Yep just innuendo and smear.

But just back up to the original premise: Russia sought to influence the election. I recall news agencies citing multiple intelligence agencies for this point. Did those agencies publish any report or is the media relying on anonymous sources?


There was some sort of report that suggested that the "hacking" of DNC's poorly secured server came from Russia (Russian territory / a group that could be involved with the government) but nothing conclusive with actual evidence.

Remember the old line from Watergate?
If the president knew about the burglary he's too crooked to be president. If the President didn't know about the burglary he's too incompetent to be president. I wonder if the Times thinks Obama is crooked or incompetent?

#32, Tweet him and ask him. I am sure as a idiot from the NY Slimes he tweets.

But his account may have been deactivated in the last day or so. :)

Good point about tweeting the guy. But I’m a writer and will not use my Twitter account to get into political wars. Unlike the dopes in Hollywood, I don’t want to anger those fellow Americans on the other side of the political spectrum.

Yes, Trump has the evidence of the wire tapping.

Trump has all of the Benghazi evidence.

Trump has all of Obama’s personal background history.

Obama democrats are trying to scare Trump into keeping all of this information out of the public domain. Any democrats who care about their personal integrity need to take their party back from the Obamaholics.
