Towergate Will Be Investigated: Congress Will Probe Trump's Claims Obama Bugged Manhattan Home
Daily Mail/Associated Press ^ | 17:43 EST, 5 March 2017 | By Dailymail.com Reporter and Associated Press and Nikki Schwab, U.s. Political Reporter Dailymail

The Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee says his panel will probe President Donald Trump's allegations that Trump Tower was wire-tapped by President Obama's administration. Rep. Devin Nunes, Rep for California, said his committee 'will make inquiries into whether the government was conducting surveillance activities on any political party's campaign officials or surrogates', the chair said in a statement Sunday afternoon.

Earlier Sunday, Senate Intelligence Committee member, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., suggested his committee would look into the matter as well. 'We've already begun an inquiry on the intelligence committee into Russia's efforts to undermine confidence in our political system,' Cotton said.

'That inquiry is going to be thorough, and we're going to follow the facts wherever they lead us. And I'm sure that this matter will be a part of that inquiry.'

Cotton's committee chair, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., made a broader statement. 'As I've said since the beginning and have repeated since, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence will follow the evidence where it leads, and we will continue to be guided by the intelligence and facts as we compile our findings,' Burr said Sunday.

Headline on Drudge Comey Turns On Trump. From the article:

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.

I didn't see Comey publicly rejecting the Russian hacking claims - even though he told Preibus in private there was no evidence. He refused to make a public statement on it.

Willing to bet my paycheck that nothing will ever come of this.

Or at least nothing positive for Trump and those of us who support him.

Look at all the times we thought Hillary was going down...

Congress is part of the problem. Ben Sasse was a HUGE never Trump guy. Now we those have McCain, McConnell and Ryan running the circus.

All of them need to be dragged into the street and hung from lamp posts.

I’m afraid this will be used against Trump somehow. I don’t trust the Republicans in Congress.

What they need to do RIGHT NOW is get all of Trump’s people in their proper governmental positions so he can advance his agenda. He has to get a move on and there are way too many distractions and obstructions.

Also, Braaaaak must not have found dirt on Trump or it would have been used with gusto.
Obama and his goons are headed to gitmo.

perhaps they can’t make thatbstaement. Perhaps that is why Comey said that the DOJ needs to come oit and say it. perhaps it’s a trap for the DOJ.

Yeah because we all know the Hillary Clinton campaign was held to the law right ?

Loretta Lynch, Lois Lerner, they were held to the law right ?

Eric Holder was held to the law over gun running "fast and furious".

Laws are fonly or us peons.

Why did the GOP bend over ? Because Obama has dirt on every one of them.

He's a huge step ahead of the Clintons and every Congressmans FBI files.

On a tablet so can’t post the pic... but somewhere out there isn’t the world’s teeniest tinyest violin. ;)

Are you using an iPad? You can post a pic from it.

Press the image with your finger so you get the "save"/"copy" option. Choose copy. Open up a blank tab and paste into the address bar. There is your image URL. Copy the bar and paste it into your HTML as usual. Should work for most tablets.

Not optimistic about Republicans’ ability to get to the truth.

Actually, I think the opposite will be true.

With Obama and Soros and Hillary and Pelosi and Schumer, all promising to obstruct and stop Trump by any means possible...

it would behoove the investigating republicans to get to the bottom of all wrongdoings and all law breaking (including the breaking of the FISA laws)...

in order to get Obama and the others to back off, OR ELSE...

they'll have to face indictments and possible criminal charges and prison time.

Anything less would be emboldening to the anti-Trump forces, and Trump and his administration will be forever under attack by the loony left.

“Actually, I think the opposite will be true.”

Well, I’m not hung up on being right. Hope your version turns out to be more accurate than mine...

LOL, every time I see that, I think:

"Choose one. You have a cold. If you take the red DayQuil, you will be up all night, and lots of strange thoughts will fill your head. Take the blue NyQuil, you will go back to sleep and wake up as if nothing had happened..."

(back to our regularly scheduled thread about serious matters)
