Trump claims 'you'll see it' when asked for proof of alleged 'spying' scandal

... In recent days the president, in tandem with his allies in conservative media, has launched a full frontal attack on special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian election meddling and possible collusion with the Trump campaign. But the president has provided no evidence to support his allegations.

This latest unproven claim of a spy scandal now joins of list of other bold allegations by the president that so far have not proven true, including his claim that President Barack Obama had Trump Tower wiretapped, that millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 election, and that President Obama was not born in the United States.

Meanwhile, the Department of Justice announced that the president's demand for an investigation into the FBI's investigation will be handled as part of an ongoing internal review by the inspector general. And officials from the Justice Department, Director of National Intelligence and the FBI are expected to comply Thursday with a request from a handful of House Republicans to brief them on highly classified documents related to the FBI probe.

These lawmakers, led by House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., hope the documents will answer their questions about whether the FBI overstepped. But the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., calls it an abuse of power.

"I don’t think any of us have any idea what the White House is doing, except that they want to use any mechanism they can to get their hands on materials they think will be useful for their legal defense team and they’re willing to break down the wall of independence between the White House and the Justice Department to do it," Schiff told ABC News. "Sadly, they have allies in Congress who are all too happy to help in destroying these institutions."

Well, at least they're experts on guns and ammunition, especially the automatic revolvers and such.

Also the "shoulder thing that goes up."

Why aren’t they asking the NY Times? They reported that there were spies in Trump’s campaign.

Clapper admitted to the spying, and said that it was to “protect Trump” and that he should be “happy about that.” I guess ABC doesn’t bother to watch TV or do any reading.

ABC doesn't bother to watch their own network, you mean.

“See it? I just saw Clapper admit it on the View.”

Exactly. By the way the media aided and abetted the deep state.

They sense Trump has turned the tide and have noticed their attacks have actually raised his polling numbers - they have nothing left but to double down with their transparent flailing......

MAGA!!!!

who takes care according to his oath of office to see to it the laws are faithfully executed?

I see no evidence that anyone does, Hillary and Bill are still free after nearly 40 years of plundering or society.
