Recklessness. Saturday morning tweets beginning just after 6 30 a. M. The president accused barack obama of tapping his phones at trump tower. He said this is a new low. It is nixon watergate. He called obama a bad or ck guy. The source of his wiretapping claim appears to be a concerted radio hes. Host. We have a Prior Administration barack obama and his Sur Grats Who were supporting Hillary Clinton and their party using the Instrew Mentalities of the federal government shlgs intelligence activities to surveil members of the trump campaign. Thats a voice to be believed. A Spokesman Says neither President Obama or any white
house official ever ordered surveillance on any u. S. Official. If the fbi, for instance, had a court order would that be information you would know or not know . Yes. You would be told this . Yes. If there was a court order on Something Like this . Yes you cant confirm or deny whether it exists . There is no fisa court order . Not to my knowledge. Of anything at tru
i will note one thing that s peculiar to me, i don t know what to make of it, after the new york times story broke exposing these comments and subsequent reporting suggested he was maybe rosenstein was maybe being sarcastic in talking about the 25th amendment and wiret wiretapping, sean hannity got on air and said or on twitter and said, please, do not fire this man, it will be a you know, you re being set up. laura ingraham who tweeted he should be fired erased her tweet. so there are forces happening behind the scenes trying to talk trump off the proverbial edge. something happened over the weekend, though, that may have changed that tune and it s, you know, intrepid reporters will figure this out. it s clear to me that not everyone is on board getting rid of this guy. there are certain people on the hill who clearly, clearly want to bring him up there, want to have him testify about what was going on in those days. but the people who trump really listens to, the fox hosts se
about before the fact. i confirmed on numerous occasions the intelligence community incidentally collected information about u.s. citizens involved in the trump transition. there s that phrase, incidental collection. from there, he went to the white house, briefed the president on what he said was troubling evidence to that effect. then, he went before the cameras again. does this describe what the president was talking about when he was talking about, quote, wiret wiretapping, which they said was broader surveillance. when you what i ve read, seems to me to be some level of surveillance activity. perhaps legal. but i don t know that it s right. and i don t know that the american people would be comfortable with what i ve read. but let s get all the reports. chairman, was the president personally involved? it is possible. so, bear in mind that chairman nunes spoke to the
about this entire hour less than meets the eye. it seems clear the president alone in the white house twe tweeting fox&friends and box she s going to talk about wiret wiretapping. actually, it s jonathan swan got the back story and judge jeanine was very annoyed because she had nothing about wiretapping and put this out there and had nothing new. what s the challenge with this president s tweets? the speaker retains a strong relationship with his members, even stronger probably due to the events of last week. they know he had his back and maintains a strong relationship with the white house. why didn t they clean up faster? they shouldn t knead jonathan swan to explain what they re up to. i agree it should have gone faster and agree that someone should take over the white house communication. we know paul ryan was there visiting with the vice president and the president and dr. price a short time ago, the health
house. you need all hands on deck and you can t be fighting the investigation by democrats on russia or partisan investigation and you can t have the guy at the top, the closer, as sean spicer said, trying to change the subject on russia to obama s wiret wiretapping. still to come, can the trump agenda get an unexpected boost from the left? you heard that right. first, can there be an independent commission looking into the russia hack. dick cheney echoed the talk we re also hearing from the left. there was a very serious effort made by mr. putin and his government, his organization, to interfere in major ways with our basic fundamental democratic processes. in some quarters that would be considered an act of war. their engagement was an act of war, and act of hybrid
