The backlash has begun on top Democrats who pushed the claims of Russian collusion with the 2016 Trump campaign.
Sen. Rand Paul today called on Justice to investigate the Obama aides who forced the false claims into public.
“Time to investigate the Obama officials who concocted and spread the Russian conspiracy hoax!” he tweeted.
And Trump campaign pollster John McLaughlin demanded a probe into the efforts by the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton campaign to spy on the Trump campaign.
“I’m very concerned that it’s becoming more clear that the Obama administration was able to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on our campaign based on phony opposition research from the Clinton campaign. Having federal law enforcement spy on a presidential campaign based on phony campaign research is really distressing and the true untold story,” he said.
Several Trump allies are shifting their attention to those who brought the claims to the public and that led to the appointment of a special investigator.
The anti-Trump campaign included dumps of false information about President Trump to reporters that disrupted the transition.
Several of the details are in this Washington Times story by Rowan Scarborough.
He quoted former Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleisher rapping the effort:
“In retrospect, we now know this is one of the worst transitions in American history,” Mr. Fleischer told The Washington Times. “On the surface, they played nicely and said nice things. But below the surface, it is clear several people in the Obama administration were doing everything they could to leave time bombs behind that would detonate all around Donald Trump and his administration.”
Thence to Hillary and Obama..................
It’s all flapping of gums until a special counsel is appointed. The Rat Pack will stick together until they’re sitting in front of a grand jury facing the prospect of jail terms.
You left out Cooney
Comey....He was the water boy for Hillary. Of course that was based on the supposition that she would win.
All of the above, and several others. Lynch, Comey, . . .
about time
These treasonous little turd rollers need to be charged with obstructing the duly elected President of the United States from doing the job the American people elected him to do. Lock them up and throw away the key.
Let's turn this Paul and Graham tweets into action.
I’d also like to see an investigation into the media role in all this. You can bet that there are a lot of people in the media who know a lot about the origins of this hoax and if squeezed hard enough will crack like an egg.
They certainly have been quiet. I’d say they personally received leaks before Mueller delivered his package.
“All roads lead to John Brennan....” And his boss Obama.
Brennan was just Obama's Shoe Shine Boy.
This entire treasonous coup attempt has Hussein Obungo's fingerprints all over it.
Due to the witnesses against Hillary would also potential witnesses or prosecutors in the Mueller probe, you had to wait or else it would be construed as “obstruction” in the Mueller probe. See how that works?
I believe the truth about Sessions is just that he was a moron.
I don't think he was involved in the coup attempt.
The Republicans have no spine. They have helped pass a bill “HJ Res. 31” 87 house repubs voted to pass this bill in the house and all but 10 repubs voted for this bill in the senate. They effectively stabbed President Trump in the back on the border wall and illegal immigrants and children.
Mr Trump is alone trying to bring honor, justice, and truth back to American politics. It really is a swamp.
I am not sure that Paul is up to the task. His “principled” vote against the President’s emergency measure on border security doesn’t sit right. What principle was he defending? Did he lobby against any of Obama’s “national emergencies” in somalia, libya, yemen or the CAR?
Paul is gonna have to open his eyes and see the world like it is. Not the way he wants it to be.
Prove me wrong. Senator!
This is why I love rand. It’s ok when people have differences on politics but it takes a lot to fight for freedom against entrenched circles who don’t want the people to actually be free.
HOORAY Rand!
CEOs......................
There’s McCain stank all over it too.
