At the outset of a pivotal week in Washington, FBI Director James Comey delivered a political gut-punch to President Donald Trump Monday and the news possibly could get worse for the president in the days and weeks ahead.
In sworn testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, Comey said there was no evidence to Trump's claims that Barack Obama wiretapped him and Trump Tower, as the current president alleged in a series of tweets earlier this month. And he confirmed that his agency was investigating the 2016 Trump campaign's links with Russia's effort to intervene in the presidential election.

“no evidence to Trump’s claims that Barack Obama wiretapped him and Trump Tower,”
So, where did Flynn’s phone call information come from? I know Flynn isn’t Trump. But I “assume” that the leak on him came from the same investigation.
Why would a FISA warrant be obtained for no electronic surveillance?
The twisting and spinning by the media is astounding.
Makes you wonder who has what on who.
I agree. Also, why no interest in ongoing investigations of Democrat activities if there are any.
Do you actually believe that Democrats are going to investigate other Democrats for committing crimes?
Do you believe that the Democrats are actually wanting justice to be served?
Do you believe that the alphabet news agencies. a/k/a, the Propaganda arm of the Democrat Party would insist that Democrat criminals be investigated, arrested, tried, and if the evidence indicated, convicted?
Do you believe that either the Democrats or the main stream media is concerned about the crimes the Democrats commit?
The only thing that either the Democrat Party and/or the main stream media is interested in is getting rid of Republicans, by hook or by crook.
I keep hearing “just wait, just wait, next week you’ll see...” If Trump is holding the cards he says he has, now is the time to start playing a few.
Nothing will change until we see real evidence with NAMES attached. He will never convince the left, what he can only hope to do is convince the Republican House and Senate to stand firm. And his argument continues to weaken with them as long as we keep hearing “just wait until next week”.
I would say he looks like an angry weasel, but those teeth look more rodentine.
Obama spied on:
* Angela Merkel
* Fox Reporter xxxx Rosen
* The Associated Press
* Sheryl Atkinson
The intelligence community has been weaponized and used for political purposes against:
* Representative Chaffetz while investigating the Secret Service scandals
* former intelligence agents critical of the administration in any capacity like Ali H. Soufan and Thomas Drake
* and used the Espionage Act more than anyone else to go after those who reported true scandals about his administration
And the NSA and other agencies pretty much had everyone’s metadata on all communications and open door to nearly all electronic communications.
Given these facts, is it unreasonable to say he would tap the phones and monitor activities of his chosen successor’s biggest rival? To defend his legacy?
And Comey said REPEATEDLY that there is NO Trump/Russia connection..END OF STORY..PERIOD
_______________________________________________________
I watched the whole thing and that’s not what Comey said.
He said that there was no sign that anyone wiretapped Trump during the election or since he has been in office. He also said that there are signs that Trunp had contacts with Putin in December 2015. Then Comey went against FBI policy and said the investigation of Trump is in it’s early stages.
Or why? Where might be the persuasive motive?
In all cases, “there is no evidence” should always be replaced with “have received no evidence” or “have seen no evidence”, or some similar phrase indicating the limitations based on your personal, subjective experiences vs. what otherwise would be an omniscience that no one other than the Lord possesses.
More like she STOLE the popular vote with illegal alien “voters” and shenanigans during the early voting.
Comey will be dismissed by the end of the week, if not by morning.
Hope you are right
Comey and his deputy McCabe may go in the Summer recess. Recess appoint the next FBI Director, and then when things die down, submit his name for confirmation to the Senate sometime in the following 6 to 12 months.
THATS IT HES FINISHED NOW!!!
Again? I’ll believe it when I see it. Everyone here pleaded with Trump to fire the snake day one. Well Trump didn’t so now Comey has without a doubt shoved a knife DJT’s stomach. So he fires him now and it looks terrible and probably hurts Trump even more. Declaring Russia helped Trump is a permanent stain now and no matter what a lot of people will suspect collusion. Comey set this for maximum damage and did it. I don’t see any 3 level chess being played here.
You mean the part where he said that Trump was “under surveillance?”
——Comey will be dismissed by the end of the week, if not by morning.——
That will be political suicide...
Archibald Cox ring a bell...?
That would be the first word out of every dem piehole...
You didn't miss the gut punch, because there wasn't one.
Of course, the Democrats and Media (but I repeat myself) will try to claim there was some kind of gut punch, despite the total lack of evidence, but at this point, only concern trolls and delusional Democrats ares still conditioned to give credence to such fake news.
It never ceases to amaze me how people—who should clearly know better— continue to ascribe unmerited power the Ministry of Propaganda.
The Ministry of Propaganda failed to derail the nomination of Donald Trump; they failed to derail the election of President Trump; and they will similarly fail to derail the Presidency of Donald Trump.
If the Media has nothing but slimy, baseless innuendo, they cannot prevail; the only thing way they can prevail is if the People allow themselves to be manipulated by these criminals.
That's why all this concern trolling is just absolutely counterproductive. It does nothing but aid and abet the Enemy, and there's no doubt in my mind that a portion of that crowd is deliberately spreading Enemy propaganda in an effort to adversely affect morale.
Now, that portion of the Nervous Nellies which is sincere in their concer should ask themselves: what constructive purpose there is for spreading doom and gloom?
This is the same exact battle that has been waged for the last two years straight. If anyone thinks that the Democrats are ever going to relent, then they're living in a dream world. Until some of them start paying a price for their shenanigans, it's just going to get worse, at least through the 2018 midterms.
Only when the Democrats are electorally crushed again in 2018 will the profound magnitude of their folly finally begin to dawn on them.
So it's going to be a rough rider for the next two years. The faint at heart are going to be wallowing in despair the whole while, I guess.
President Trump needs the People to fiercely have his back. Indifference and pessimism will not suffice.
This Revolution might move forward peacefully, but make no mistake: it could very well turn out otherwise. The evidence I've seen convinces me that the Enemy is perfectly willing to risk civil war. Those who truly wish to restore this Republic must face that possibility soberly and unflinchingly, and prepare accordingly...
President Trump won't do it. Something is going wrong here. Take Speaker Ryan Obamacare bill. It is a real piece of crap and Trump supports and is pushing it. Rand Paul has the right way to go and is Trump listening? Don't seem to. Comey is a real communists liberal and has and will continue to not support Trump.
It’s all a ruse to keep Comey and his Obama pawns in their positions, and prevent Trump from replacing Comey with his own appointee. See, if they whip up allegations like this immediately after the election and then Trump replaces Comey it would look like he I trying to interfere with an election. Trump should now act swiftly and fire Comey. comey just said no evidence with the vote tampering. Trump should hang his hat on that, and retweet that over the next three weeks. Fire Comey simultaneously while having no more cause to be see as interfering with an election.
Gowdy asked that, specificaly since the word "transcript" was used in the outing of the information. Comey answered that he could not comment on that.
Why would a FISA warrant be obtained for no electronic surveillance?
Comey answered that he could not comment on anything FISA.
