So you believe Trump was lying when he said he was wiretapped?

Of course not. But that is not the point. Clearly.

My point was with the reporting using words such as, "potentially", "may", "if" and using an unnamed former US official as a source. The whole story, that Trump was heard on Manafort's wiretaps, is fake.

Perhaps next time I'll bold and italicize those items.

...electronic surveillance of the one-time Trump campaign chairman... occurred during the 2016 presidential campaign. According to a former U.S. official, the intercepts picked up conversations between Manafort and Russian individuals about the campaign.
IOW, it's Demagogic Party BS.

Here's a question everyone might want to ask themselves:

If the Obama administration was conducting extensive surveillance of the Trump campaign team, and Hillary Clinton was obviously privy to some of all of the information they had (she actually mentioned it in one of the debates), then how the heck did Donald Trump win the election?

I have my own answer to this. I'd be curious to see what others think of it.

Off hand, it’s obvious Hillary, et al, assumed she had the election in the bag.

He knew he was being surveilled and “fed” them bad intel by means of that surveillance, which is hilarious to the point of utter humiliation for Obama, Hilary Clinton, the “intelligence community” such as it is and the political left as a whole. They’re willing to bring it all down in order to avoid that coming to light. They got played due to their own heavy-handedness.

Good post. I've been speculating about exactly that scenario since the news of the surveillance first broke early this year.

I even considered an outlandish scene where Donald Trump was on the phone arguing with someone on his campaign leadership team, yelling something along these lines: "Why are you sending me to Wisconsin again? Hillary's going to kick my ass there?!" LOL.

“Man, I’m really worried about Texas, those numbers are looking really bad down there, better hope Hillary doesn’t figure it out, let’s feint and distract her by going to the Rust Belt.”

He won the election because he won the electoral college.

Right. But he won the electoral college because he won states that nobody expected him to win.

Sessions should fire Mueller and then resign.

I don’t care what Manafort has been doing or not doing. Nobody elected him to anything.

But Mueller doesn’t have to prove anything about him. He can use the corrupt and unconstitutional power he was given to financial ruin Manafort until he agrees to say anything Mueller wants him to about Trump. That is Mueller’s game - an economic rack. HE is an evil, unprincipled S.O.B. You can judge a tree by its fruits and Comey is a protégé of Mueller’s.

It is a lot like Watergate now. Nixon had the election won in a big way but his guys broke in to the DNC.

They had Trump beat by miles, so they thought, but couldn’t control themselves. They illegally wiretapped him. Obama sucks.

All of this despicable behavior was brought on by the spineless gutless action of Jeff Sessions.

Bump!

Minus Cook County, IL and LA County, he won the popular vote too.

And the vote fraud in those two counties should show he won the popular vote outright.

The last thing any intelligent prosecutor wants to do is financially ruin a guy who is old enough to collect Social Security.

For Mueller, the worst thing that can happen is for a target of his investigation to fire his lawyers. At that point, the guy has nothing left to lose. At best, the prosecutor has no leverage over him. At worst, the guy has no leverage over himself, either.

As much as I like to chime in with a bit of a twist on topics and comments, I’m going to have to let you have that one.
