Trump says Obama wiretapped his campaign, Joy Reid laughs it off
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

What’s the proper response to allegations that the administration of a President of the United States wiretapped the campaign of the candidate of the opposing party? Why, laughter, of course . . . if you’re Joy Reid and her merry band of liberals. On her show this morning, mirth was repeatedly on the menu during a segment regarding the allegation that the FBI, under President Obama, wiretapped members of the Trump campaign in the month leading up to the election.

Interviewing a Dem congressman, Reid chortled as she asked “does it disturb you a little bit that the President of the United States doesn’t know that the President of the United States doesn’t order wiretaps?” Right. It’s the FBI. A part of the executive branch whose head is . . . the President of the United States.

And when Reid heard another guest laughing, she turned to him: “because you’re laughing, I have to turn to you. It is sort of funny, but it is sort of disturbing, as well.”

No. Evidence is held for a trial, or whatever. He needs to keep it all under wraps.

Obama’s minions in the Ministry of Propaganda have no choice but to laugh it off at this point.

First they ignore you, then they laugh, then you fight, then you win.


Maybe for Trump we should change that to: "First they ignore you, then they laugh, then you fight, then they wiretap you, then you win."

Good point. We don’t want to be too hasty. However, the political damage might be worse.

Maybe a good example might be Bill Clinton’s impeachment?

The impeachment didn’t seem to hurt Bill too much and I believe the “political damage” hurt Hillary’s chances in the last election. After all, how could she, being a woman, allow him to campaign for her?

Uh oh. Remember the last time ol’ Joy laughed someone off, thinking she was so bloody smart? I believe it was when Ann Coulter said Donald Trump would be president.

It’s a good sign to have Joy laugh this off - wait for it!

You’d think they’d learn, but I suppose their government contacts assured them: “No, honest! This time, we’ve got him for sure; I mean it! This one will stick!”. NO IT WON’T!

Did President Trump say, or imply, that Obama "ordered" wiretaps through legal, official channels? Somehow I doubt it.

And even Dim-bulbs like Joy Reid must know that that's "not how it's done."

Trump has to be right on this, because the MSM and the Leftists are slamming him on this right now on a hourly basis.
