I don’t understand why there has been no push back from anyone other than a few commentators. This situation is truly frightening. The President’s legal team should consider filing an emergency suit with the appropriate federal court or SCOTUS to protect attorney client privilege and the presidency.

Not a surprise. Mueller is throwing crap all over trying to find something. He’s an embarrassment to this country.

Trump has the patience of a saint, because before now, I would have declassified and dumped everything from soup to nuts on everyone in DC.

All. Of. Them.

What is going to take before Trump & Co. fight back against these seditious bastards?

They were nuts if they did not assume it was tapped. The question now is whether Cohen gave the Feds a different story than the one Giuliani gave yesterday.

So this is the union/all powerful central federal government Lincoln spent hundreds of thousands of lives to preserve.

Well hello. Wasn’t all the opposition to Obama to undermine him and get rid of him or keep him from being elected? Rush is stating the obvious, but in such a way to garner sympathy for DJTm

Obviously the stooge Sessions doesn’t have any problem with the wiretap.

“At least one phone call between a phone line associated with Cohen and the White House was intercepted”

And how exactly does NBC know this?
Outrages. Phone conversation between a POTUS and his lawyer is tapped and no one is arrested? WTH?

“They were nuts if they did not assume it was tapped.”

Right. I read that Guiliani was upset with Trump for calling Cohen after they raided Cohen’s office, mostly because he assumed that someone would be listening.

Good idea. Including Obama’s “sealed” records and EVERYTHING on EVERY Republican. Hell, we never even got the names of the scumbag politicians who were using OUR money to settle their sexual harassment lawsuits, did we?

Would have been Great if they spent half as much effort, or one tenth this amount of time to look into Hillary Clintons Charity Foundation. This is not LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

Hillary never threatened the deep state. Trump is taking it to them, they're panicked. He is smart enough to know this was coming and was prepared.

It didn’t start well with the titular AG chickening out before he even started.

Deep State is taking every desperate action to find something to move against POTUS, fairly obvious to even casual observers.

It hardly seems likely there was some great need to target and go after Michael Cohen let alone raid his office and residences.

Yet, here we are and the DNC Media is celebrating along with their Leftist cohorts in “the Resistance.”

This is like the worst Stasi movie never made. It’s completely out of hand but I suspect it’s the last ditch efforts before the tables are turned.

It’s obvious the death shot attempt came with the OIG Report Pt. 2 bearing down on them with release mid-May anticipated.

Strap in folks; gonna be a helleva ride when it does.

Did the deep state wake up Sessions & run this by him.

I think the story went....The President called Cohen and Cohen said he was likely being tapped and not to call there again.

They (the permanent Deep State...Totalitarians, call them what they are), will not stop this until they are forcibly defeated. They are boxing in Trump to leave only two options - defeat them through means that will lead to civil conflict, or surrender. They believe they can make him surrender. It will be up to the people to convince them otherwise.

This is appalling. I wish they went after real corruption with as much vigor as they go after Trump and the people around him.

Hannity’s constant refrain of what great people there are at the FBI and our other much vaunted law enforcement agencies is growing very thin.

They would NEVER EVER have done this to ANYONE associated with Barack Obama.

Even in movies they disconnect the phone taps when privileged conversations are overheard. I’m really stunned to see how far they are willing to take this thing. As many said just after the election, BAMN (by any means necessary), thus “the resistance”.
