So, Is "Spygate" Still A "Conspiracy?"
BBC.com ^ | May 24, 2018 | Anthony Zurcher

President Trump calls it "Spygate" and a Deep State conspiracy against him. His critics warn it's a distraction tactic and an effort to undermine trust in the investigation into whether his campaign colluded with Russia.

KEYWORDS: conspiracy; spygate; trump
My how times have changed. Today on bbc.com, there is are NO stories about the documents released yesterday that show that Obama DID no about the electronic surveillance of the Trump campaign. When Trump announced he had be "wiretapped," virtually the entire media deemed it as a distraction and a hoax.

Where are they now? Where are their retractions and apologies?

Hard to be a journalist when you’re always carrying water.

The article is from 2018, which is why there is no mention of recent events.

Think of all the “conservative” Republicans who couldn’t wait to get on television to talk about the 17 intelligence agencies and/or the “Russian meddling” and “hacking”. It was all fake. All of it was intended to bring down President Trump, and his own party played a crucial role.

We should give the Left some credit for it. The scam played on leftover Cold War sensibilities (The Ruskies), and it took advantage of a general lack of knowledge about how “hacking” takes place outside of an old Sandra Bullock movie. That was all aimed right at Trump’s base. As it falls apart, the people who promoted it need to be ruined.

Lindsey should call Mueller to testify. But between Mueller and Biden they couldn't remember their own names.

Good points. Interesting that the 17 “intelligence agencies reports” came from individuals who are up to their eyeballs in this conspiracy.

Yet that “17 Intelligence Agencies Report” blah, blah, blah, is still being used to justify the investigations and allegations.

You are correct. I went back at took a look at the collection of articles and stories that were written about DJT’s tweet about being “wiretapped.” The media was filled with stories mocking DJT for the “conspiracy theories” designed to ‘distract” us. BBC, among several other outlets ran stories like this one back then, but they are nothing but crickets with the revelations of yesterday and especially that DJT was proven correct - it was Obama and his minions who were doing the spying!

I just can’t believe the dems and MSM continue with the theme that this is AG Barr covering for Trump.
