VERY nice job in breaking that down. Your word analysis really shows how devious media is.

Too funny, the media and the left are like deer in headlights right now. There’s no point in running when you are ...well....and ....truly .....>()#&$()&##$!!!!

Didn’t you get the memo? The cats meow these days is to holler fake news when it’s news that doesn’t favor your team. But every other day it’s real news. This is the quickest way to silence any opposition. Dangerous times we live in

Because it is what every other person looking and listening to the news hears and sees. That’s why. Good grief.

Why the Hell Trump kept that fudgepacker is beyond me. Maybe he knew this was coming and needed the idiot to implode?

I think Comey’s statement could be read in more than one way. Comey is trying to clear the FBI of any allegations of wrongdoing. That doesn’t mean that wrong doing didn’t occur elsewhere.

Exactly what I was thinking. I read elsewhere that the NYC FBI office was out of the loop in the Trump Tower wiretap.

Comey himself may have known about it, but let it pass because his NYC office wasn't involved. I wonder if Lynch and the NSA were the culprits. Just a thought. Who really knows.

"The source of the story is in the first line of the original story, called “senior American officials”.

"Never heard that one, before."

Yeah, I'm 65 years old and even subscribed to the NYT before I knew any better. I have never heard them refer to sources as "senior American officials" before.

On Fox, legal analyst says the unconfirmed “report”is that FISA court rejected the warrant TWICE and it was approved on the third attempt after being narrowed. This happened, no Obama didn’t do it personally but let’s get real.

It’s too explosive a statement without concrete proof

Agreed.But I wonder how wise it is...particularly NOW THAT HE'S WON...for him to be releasing stuff like this on Twitter.I just hope that he sought some serious advice from people who *aren't* new to Washington (as he is) before he made this accusation.That's because although,knowing Obola and his ties to the likes of Saul Alinsky,Bill Ayers and Jerimiah Wright render him *absolutely* capable of doing such a thing, this thing could,with the help of the "driveby media",*still* blow up in his face.

The Rats are trying to bring down a duly,lawfully,elected President and we Freepers know that they'll stop at *nothing* to accomplish their goal.

There is no news here. It is just an FBI director trying to cover his rear by getting ahead of the story to say he did nothing illegal by taking an order from a President to tap the campaign. Nowhere does Pravda DENY that the FBI requested DOJ to apply for the tap. In fact the DOJ did so twice, rejected the first time and then political appointee Lynch on her own applying for it a month before the election a second time. No one nowhere is DENYING that the campaign was tapped.Nothing was found and then the White House ultimately got access to the info as “national security” info.
The fact that a Presidential contender’s campaign was tapped is shocking. Last time that happened both a FBI director and an Attorney General went to jail. Both Comey and Lynch are aware of this

The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trump’s assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trump’s phones, senior American officials said on Sunday. Mr. Comey has argued that the highly charged claim is false and must be corrected, they said, but the department has not released any such statement.

If the claim is false all the more reason all the more reason to investigate to see what is true or a damned lie. Liars under oath must be put in jail. If not the total judicial system fails and thus the rule of the gun prevails. The good guys have most of the guns and can shoot at hundreds of yards with accuracy. This ending is most undesirable.

Our most brillent forefathers of the Constitution undersstod this. They gave us the second amendment to the constition for this horrible cirumstances. They were brilliant.

Why the hell is Comey and the assistant DOJ guy still in there? Trump is so good at firing people, why didn’t he really clean house? These idiots sticking around are making things disastrous, plus Sessions folded like a cheap camera in recusing himself.

Could be. And DJT threw the tap nuke yesterday AM because he couldn’t get anybody to move on the leaks, too scared of arkancide or voter disapproval. Ryan seemed to be the first to know, Friday night on Bret Baer.
