3/4/17 6:35am: "Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!"
3/4/17 6:49am: "Is it legal for a sitting President to be 'wire tapping' a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!"
3/4/17 6:52am: "I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!"
3/4/17 7:02am: "How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!"
He accused his immediate predecessor of committing a felony. His myrmidons have since doubled and tripled down on these slurs, We now now the truth.
FBI Director James Comey and Admiral Mike Rogers, Director of the National Security Agency, have convincingly established that there was no truth to Trump's assertions. They were made and repeated with reckless disregard for the truth. If you want to talk about "FAKE NEWS!," this is it. It's also serious misconduct from a sitting president. He is an embarrassment who needs to resign, and if he refuses, should be impeached.

Let`s see if he has the courage to man-up and apologize to the former President for his loose tongue comments. My bet is he won`t. He lies so much he doesn`t know the difference between truth and make believe lying.
No one gives a crap about this. Except the sniveling losers who supported Hillary. Trump is getting things done, keeping his promises and promoting massive job growth. Bernie, you will earn the title of "journalist" before Trump resigns or is impeached. On other words, when hell freezes over.
He is a clown. He is an embarrassment to the nation. His behavior is that of a two year old. As analyzed, he is a classic narcissist. His personality is emotionally unstable.
The idea that he has accomplished so much in fifty days is silly. What has he accomplished?? Nothing but one blunder after another. He has emboldened our enemies and alienated our friends. He is a buffoon. He twits more nonsense than a twelve year old.
Even though Pence is an alt-right Christian theocratic ideologue, at least he will be rational when Trump finally resins in disgrace at some point.
So much ado over nothing. What we have here is a case of the Empire Striking Back at Trump for trying to drain the swamp,
And the chief crocodile in that swamp is James Comey.
Think about it for a moment, Our Intelligence community under Obama was caught bugging the phones of Angela Merkel and other heads of state, do you really think they would have any compunction about tapping the communications of Donald Trump, who clearly was a threat to Hillary Clinton and her planned coronation?
Blah, blah, blah Russians...
Blah, blah, blah Wiretaps...
Blah, blah, blah Impeachment...
Blah, blah, blah racist, bigot, homophobe, xenophobe, transphobe...
This line of bullshit is just a huge waste of everyone's time to slow Trump down. What a load of crap.
Dems can't tout their policies, jobs record, healthcare success, inner city progress or foreign policies. All they have is a canard about why their power has caved. And... they keep digging deeper day after day.
4:57,
You believe the Great Liar in the oval office? SAD!
Every intelligence agency debunks his lie but you still think your glorious leader is sane. SAD!
The man will be impeached eventually.
Impeachment? Not happening. Democrats have a numbers problem. And is Comey to be believed? He's ruined the FBI's reputation by playing politics. The only campaign to have met with the Russians was Hillary's. Trump is a buffoon. But he's a response to eight years of Obama and the worst candidate Democrats have ever offered. We deserve Trump, unfortunately.
Democrats may have a numbers problem, but Trump has managed to piss off a large number of Rs. And yes,I believe Comey over the liar who failed to offer any evidence to back up his lies, except for more lies.
Trump has etched his place in history as the Mosy Untrustworthy President of all time. He is an American disgrace and an Smerican sellout.
The hapless democrats and liberal media are whipping their smaller and smaller election base into a frenzy. They have obstructed this administration at every turn. Let this administration do what they promised, sink or swim, and end the good ole boy Washington network of cronies, useless legislators and leaders who lead from behind [Obama] just go away. Mr. Obama caused the quiet man to rise up and say "enough of this". And now, the entitlement pushers, bigger government proponents and establishment are all crying in their beers. While their radical Islam supporter is vacationing in the South Pacific; without his wife.
Aside from insulting everyone, you have failed to address the reality that the so-called President is a liar. One who has slurred his immediate predecessor and even dragged the British and Angela Merkel into his web of deceit. He lacks any moral authority, and needs to resign or be impeached.
Don't forget Australia. Trump hung up the phone in an apparent tantrum over a vetted refugees agreement already in place. Our own corn exports (farmers) may suffer because Mexico does have leverage and isn't a totally dirt poor country Trumpkins think it is.
Give him another year and he'll have every ally distancing themselves from him and us as a nation.
More conservative talking points....blame the media for exposong the truth. We do not have leakers, awe have whistleblowers of a deceptove admonistration.
Charlie Dent and Pat Toomey.....demonstrate your character and oppose the bad policies of this demonstrtive adminisration attacking American Values.
Apologize?
Don't think so.
In the great run of conspirator theories, this one will never die. Sure, if we want to believe that Presidents absolutely always operate within the law, then we should always put our faith in the FBI director. Who would think that a successor to a great man, J Edgar Hoover, would ever mislead us. The problem is the theory lives until the FBI produces a leaker with a plausible story of how the intelligence was gathered. I doubt that a leaker is ever found.
For all the haters of Trump, the Russian meddle will haunt his administration as a conspiracy and always undermine his legitimacy. Unfortunately, both conspiracies join a list of unproven-aliens at Roswell, the faked moon landings, the JFK assasinators, OJ's innocence, and on and on. Even, many of us are believing that Bernie O is not real, but a collection of frustrated, laid off, unemployed Morning Call opinion writers. A conspiracy for you.
The notion that Comey is a liaris absurd. The simple truth (remember that word?) is that Trump has failed to offer a scintilla of evidence to substantiate his lie, but like all liars, has responded with more lies.
From https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/20/opinion/all-the-presidents-lies.html:
"He lies in ways that no American politician ever has before. He has lied about — among many other things — Obama’s birthplace, John F. Kennedy’s assassination, Sept. 11, the Iraq War, ISIS, NATO, military veterans, Mexican immigrants, Muslim immigrants, anti-Semitic attacks, the unemployment rate, the murder rate, the Electoral College, voter fraud and his groping of women.
"He tells so many untruths that it’s time to leave behind the textual parsing over which are unwitting and which are deliberate — as well as the condescending notion that most of Trump’s supporters enjoy his lies."
I do not enjoy his lies. I think they actually endanger our national security and make us a laughing stock.
comey isn't a liar he simply states i can't say i can't answer that very informative dude!
The Russians did it, yah right, Why did the bitch have more votes than Trump? Nice try. The Gov't can cover up anything, so what is the truth and what is not we will NEVER know. Move on and lets hope the USA becomes a Great county once again like it once was and not the liberal laughing stock it has become. We are killing ourselves from within and our enemies are enjoying every minute of it. We need to get back to our roots , not this socialist views that are failing around the world. Ask the Germans ,Belgium, French..... Bet they wished they now had restrictive borders. Europe will die a slow death and if not careful, so will we.
Funny how the Great "O" listened in to out allies and the Libtarts and select media doesn't bring that up. Maybe "wiretapping" was the wrong choice of wording, lets say "listening devices" were possibly used. Either way, the Gov't covers their own asses like O and Hillary did for 8 tears and gest away with it,except when it benefits them or their own agenda.
Trump is a liar - just like every many who's held the office. Comey is not believable, either. Our entire government is disgusting. Turn of, tune out, watch a baseball game.
8:18, There is a difference between spying on foreign countries and wiretapping an American citizen in the US with no authority. There is a difference between a mistake and an outright lie. Trump is a liar. He needs to go.
8:19 The notion that the entire government is disgusting is no justification for a president who engages in outright fabrication. We need to insist on a return to morality if not civility. It's time to impeach this so-called president.
I do not endorse his lies.
He gets away with it because of a distrust of government at all levels. Conspiracies always appealed to those on the political extremes. Those are characterized by a great distrust in government. Unfortunately, that distrust has moved to the middle. My healthcare cost me 12,000 dollars and I have to spend 4,500 before it kicks in. I made 19,000 last year. Every year my chosen health plan has ceased operations in Pennsylvania and every year I am assigned a new doctor. Was I lied to by Obama? That is why Trump got there in the first place. The issue now is will he out lie his predecessors on issues of importance. Four years is a long time.
Give up, Bernie. I have. Most republicans who voted for Trump live in a fact-free world.
Distrust of government is understandable. But you just make it worse when you install an incessant liar in the oval office.
"Give up, Bernie. I have. Most republicans who voted for Trump live in a fact-free world."
But there are Rs out there who did not vote for Trump and who are very uneasy at what they see. Do not let his loud and obnoxious base fool you.
You are living in a fantasy world, BO, if you believe R's will turn on Trump. There is no doubt that ONLY Trump could have beaten Hillary. Trump energized the electorate like no other R candidate could. His flamboyant personality got him into the White House. Impeachment is your wet dream. Ain't gonna happen.
Anyone remember the name Richard Nixon and his downfall?
Obama lied regularly but you never called him down. NYTimes started the wiretap story & my guess is that before this is over it will be verified. Republicans who voted for Trump are very happy as he is doing exactly what the voters wanted him to do--Draining the Washington swamp while bringing back American jobs taken by illegal immigrants paid under the table at your local restaurant.
Did you ever call Obama our "so-called President" Bernie ?
9:06 Were you alive when President Nixon was in office ?
"Draining the swamp" is the biggest of the lies. Millionaires and billionaires with an agenda to increase their bottom line by removing restrictions on their business interests. The same way Bush did for the oil industry. Why is Trump so focused on having the investigation and citizens focus on anything other than his ties to Russia?
The real news from this Moday's Democratic orgy of hate is not that Comey "debunked” Trump’s wiretapping tweets.
Instead it left Trump's underlying claim intact: that there was surveillance of the Trump campaign by someone in the federal government; that the results were shared throughout the government — even possibly reaching the Obama White House; and that intelligence was leaked, illegally, to the mainstream media.
It seems that FBI Director Comey can reveal investigations related to the Trump campaign, but can't talk about any investigations related to either the Obama White House or the Hillary Clinton Campaign.
It should also be remembered that 98% of the Obama Justice Department contributed to the Hillary Clinton Campaign.
I was around during the Nixon years and there were die hard supporters who still believe he did nothing wrong and I am a Republican that voted for him twice. There are idiots in every generation who will never admit the truth or believe the lies they are told without question.
9:37,
Pick that up on Faux News? I doubt you actually watched Comey's testimony, but rely instead on repeating the Trump spin of it.
Simply amazing that we live in a highly intelligent community with distinguished universities, a strong workforce ,a results oriented work ethic etc. Yet so many locals streecccch out to defend and support the racist POTUS with a pussy loving history, multiple affairs/marriages/Howard Stern glorification and financial missteps (read latest VanityFair article on his relationships with banks).
NO NYC bank will do business with him. His Deuchabank (sp ?) situation is a total mess and his former Mgr....Manafort is an international crook.
Stay to course BO and let me know the over/under on Pence inauguration.
If one listened to the Congressional Hearing yesterday with an unbiased mind, this is what you heard FBI Director James Comey say, "We don’t have any information that supports those tweets"
Democrats jumped to the conclusion that the charge is false. However, if you look at the other side of the coin, that there simply "was no evidence", that means there are actually three possibilities.
One is that Comey didn’t go after, and probably lacked the ability to go after, an investigation of what the intelligence agencies did during the campaign. When Comey says that he doesn’t have any information, he leaves open the possibility that it could exist but not be in his possession.
A second possibility is that intelligence agencies lie. This does not seem unreasonable, given that the basic nature of the work involves deception. If you don't maintain a culture of deception, you don't have a very good intelligence agency. But lie even to the FBI? Well, James Clapper admitted to lying to Congress.
A third possibility is that rogue members of US and British intelligence, sharing a political agenda favorable to Hillary Clinton, arranged leaks. Well, we already know that in the case of General Flynn unauthorized activity resulted in the leaking of intelligence data, though it it is not clear who leaked it. Yet.
None of the possibilities seem to be completely unrealistic. So I think that no definitive conclusion can be reached.
ATT 8:18 remedial reading/spelling courses available. Many include nap time and lollipops.
9:40. Tell us, what exactly, did Nixon do that was wrong, and what was he convicted of ?
One has to remember that this is the same Comey who couldn't find any "intent" to break the law concerning crooked Hillary's use of a private internet server and her mishandling of classified information on that server, which wasn't cleared for classified information in the first place. Which also is a felony but then, he didn't find any "intent" by her having it there in the first place.
Ask any military member if "intent" should be taken into consideration if and when doing the same thing from his cell in Leavenworth.
Yes an adult
You must have failed history. Try obstruction of justice for opener. He also quit rather than be impeached.
Trump stands for the little guy, he was targeted by the industrial media complex, Soros, the Illuminati, globalists, and the Libtards of course. He stood the test, passed with flying colors and if he got the wiretapping thing wrong big whoop it's small potatoes next to ISIS and job growth.

Phil,Look at how ridiculous you sound. A billionaire for the little guy? Give me a break. But this is not about that. This is about a so--called president unable to tell the truth, and whose dishonest is now hurting us. He has to go.
If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
Who said that Bernie ?
Patiot2, Obama did not lie regularly. But when he did lie,and I believe he lied, I was highly critical of him. I was critical when he lied about keeping your doctor and when he said everything about Obamacare would be in public. The difference between Obama and Trump is that Trump does nothing but lie. He is a con artist who has built an empire based on lies and deceit. His dishonesty has damaged us in the eyes of the world and has weakened the moral authority of this nation.
Impeachment of Trump is the ultimate wet dream for Liberals
And Saint Hillary Bernie ?
"If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
Who said that Bernie ?"
And when his statements were later proved untrue, I was highly critical. There is a difference between someone who sometimes lies and someone who never tells the truth. Time for Trump to go.
"Did you ever call Obama our "so-called President" Bernie ?"
Obama never called a United States District Court judge a "so called judge." Trump earned the title I use for him. He is a walking disgrace to the office of President of the United States.
"Democrats jumped to the conclusion that the charge is false. However, if you look at the other side of the coin, that there simply "was no evidence", that means there are actually three possibilities.:
Looking at this from an unbiased point of view, Comey said what he said because the evidence is nonexistent. It does not exist or it would have been produced. They had ample time to do so,and even received an extension to make sure no stone was unturned. Your president is a liar.
"The real news from this Moday's Democratic orgy of hate is not that Comey "debunked” Trump’s wiretapping tweets."
I completely disagree. It is old news that someone is leaking. It is old news that Russia tried to influence the election. It is even old news that the FBI is attempting to determine whether Trump operatives had contacts with Russia.The one piece of real news is that Trump has been proven to be a liar conclusively.He made a very serious accusation about his immediate predecessor, and he lied.
"You are living in a fantasy world, BO, if you believe R's will turn on Trump."
Trump is detested by numerous Rs. Many of them, including Lehigh County Rs and Charlie Dent, were Never Trumps. It is entirely possible that they and the Ds can be a majority.
Anytime Mr. trump wants to show the world how smart and great he is,he can show the proof of how President Obama wiretapped him.
he can help out the FBI and all the other agencies that missed the "bigly" information he has.
until then he is a liar with no credibility.
A sad state for America.
The DOJ also found nothing to support Trump's claims of wiretapping. How many agencies have to tell you Trumpkins before you wake up? Or are they all part of a conspiracy against your Fuhrer Trump? He is an Authoritarian that even Fox News has realized is a danger to honest reporting.
Let's impeach Trump. Pence would make a fine president. Democrats can come along for the ride. But they have to sit in back.
far better to use mr trump as an albatross around all the necks of the republican party.
then the republicans get to choose survival or purging their party of the fanatics
This tool is such an embarrassment and hazard to our country. The minority of voters who voted for him are getting a real good taste. Thanks, whoever voted for him. What a piece of trash.
Conservatives are saying "Comey is a liar" "Comey should be fired"
lol When the guy doesn't say what you want, you go batshit crazy. He was your buddy 4 months ago. Winds shifted? He comes across very clearly to me - concise, logical, and knowledgeable. He won't reveal things he can't reveal, so he's a bad guy. Not.
A lot of your post are lies on here, they need to go also ! Hillary lost, get over it. Socialism is on hold for another 4 years. We are still a land of democracy and the free ( thank GOD ), not socialistic policies like the screwed up counties in Europe. I see another war in Europe in the next 20-30 years. They still haven't learned from WW1 or WWII, and neither have many Americans. Anarchy will rein once again and all hell will break loose.
12:53 & 12:56, Just like the dems the past 8 yrs ? Made the US the laughing stock of the "Free World". This is what you get when they screwed it up and the people are fed up with your bs policies. Suck it up libtarts. lol
1:52, I did not think anyone could be worse than Obamawhen it came to foreign policy. I was dead wrong.
1:49, this post has nothing to do with Hillary losing the election. It has everything to do with a morally bankrupt president who has no place in government. Drop the partisan rhetoric and team sports mentality and start thinking about what is good for the country for once.
"If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."
Now under the proposed Trumpcare plan you will get better health insurance at a lower cost for all, according to Ryan and Trump's HHS guy. Write that down and lets see how it plays out.
Trump is on record as saying "everyone" will be covered for healthcare. Let us see how that turns out.
Obama was unrealistic and gullible about healthcare. he forgot that at the end of the day the health Insurance Industry and big medicine control costs and access, not anyone else. You think things will get better? Good luck with that.
We all are awaiting the panacea of Trumpcare.
This President is doing exactly what he said he would do & the libs are looking for any minor issue to hang around him because they don't accept that they lost. We that supported him can look beyond the minor flaws to the big picture of getting this country back on the right track instead of the sidetrack Obama took us. Obama foreign policy was a disaster despite what you may think & Trump will repair that
& global climate change has been nothing but a diversionary tactic to take down American manufacturing leadership.
Patriot2, do you really believe what you are writing? Do you seriously think Trump can accomplish whatever it is you are looing for? Exactly why and what is so bad about this country?
You seriously do not believe that we as a planet are experiencing "climate change" and that the impact on all of us will be huge? When 99% of all science and scientists point at it, you still go with the 1% who claim it is some sort of plot?
Are you really serious about that?
The scientists that spew this stuff are all given grants from the government to justify the Al Gore global warming bunk. Obama's take down of America was based upon this garbage as justification for his actions as a globalist . Climate change is mostly about phases of the sun vs man-made issues--What man made event ended the ice age--the answer is nothing except for the same thing causing natural changes today.
" the libs are looking for any minor issue to hang around him "
This is far from a "minor" issue.
Lets not forget Trump STILL has yet to release his tax returns. He is a walking conflict of interest and lacks business ethics. His solution is tonsue and blame others. Buyers remorse yet?
Comey was unable to provide even a shred of evidence to back up claims by the Democrats that President Trump colluded with Russia to rig the 2016 election. However, he said the FBI is investigating the matter.
Will Mr. Comey be investigating Hillary Clinton as well? After all, it’s been confirmed by Russian officials that members of Hillary’s campaign met with the Russians prior to the election.
5:58 I thought that MSNBC found them in a mailbox a few days ago ?
The American people really want to know if Hillary Clinton, who along with Donna Brazile and Debbie Wasserman Schultz cheated and “rigged” her way through the Democrat primaries, was looking to continue her dirty work in the presidential campaign with a little help from her Russian friends that she sold uranium to while Secratary of State.
Was that uranium deal ever investigated by the FBI ?
The last three comments are an attempt at deflections by partisan hacks defending a liar because he is on their team. This mentality is bad in a democracy.
Bernie, whomever the one guy is that is posting, they are obviously a major tea drinker, They are really out there. It is sad that the fringes now control the political process. Whatever happened to the common sense middle?
6:23 Just how did MSNBC obtain tax returns of private citizen Donald Trump ? Do you know if that is being investigated by the FBI ?
Isn't that a serious crime ?
Isn't selling a strategic metal to the Russians a crime? You do know what is made from Uranium ? Why isn't that Clinton deal being investigated ?
The issue is not who leaked his tax return, though it was likely him. The issue is a president engaging in major misconduct
613.. those were 2005 returns. America deserves to see his returns since 2008, at least. Some suggest Trump leaked those returns himself to distract from the trumpcare fiasco.
6:38, stick to the topic
Mr O'Hare
Looking at all of this hubbub, it's interesting that the Democrats suddenly have this great interest in how the Russians operate that they never displayed during the Obama years. Democrats seem to be shocked that Russia attempts to influence the election process.
OF COURSE Russia attempts to influence the election process. It's part of their basic way of doing things. Obama did the same thing in the BREXIT vote, and also in the Israeli elections. The Russians aren't really good at it, but they do what they can.
The only thing different in 2016 was that they were more effective because of the WikiLeaks revelations of the DNC emails and such, basically Russian intelligence was doing the job that a viable true media should be doing themselves. In other words, if we had good journalism in this country, those kinds of revelations would have been made by the media. However the media was acting as cheerleaders for the Clinton Campaign.
In the election, the American people had WikiLeaks to provide the information that normal journalists should provide in a normal kind of society – the society we had, let’s say, thirty years ago. That’s unfortunate. But for the Democrats to feign shock that Russia is attempting to do this by the Democrats is very disingenuous.
David let me be clear. this post is not about Democrats. It is not about WikiLeaks. It is not about the Russians. This post is about a president, a so-called president, who is incapable of telling the truth and who has engaged major misconduct. Your comments are nothing more than an attempted deflection.
"We now now the truth"
you're f'n killing me
EVERYONE's phone is tapped and recorded, EVERYONE's e-mails are recorded.(vault 7)
Not really sure who is really in charge of all of this, but I don't think it's any particular politician although at times they may get access.
I think Trump just said it's Obama because he was president while this stuff was going on, I think he realizes now that he is president and he personally does not have access to it... but I'm sure there's a fraternity/gang/crew/syndicate that does.
". This post is about a president, a so-called president, who is incapable of telling the truth and who has engaged major misconduct."
Incapable of telling the truth ? Major misconduct?
The point being that maybe we conservatives should just relax and smile at all of this hyperbole because the ridiculous liberal vituperation, their so-called “resistance” can’t amount to much in terms of moving the mass of the American people. Not so long as they insist upon shouting at them in what amounts to a foreign language, dripping with condescension.
And while President Trump has nowhere near the mastery of the language of someone like Churchill or Reagan, he’s brilliant in keeping his message simple and clear: bad, good, amazing, huge, sad, great, jobs, deal, wall.
I do wonder sometimes though, just what we would learn about President Obama's past if he hadn't spent $20 million to have nearly all of his university papers sealed. But I suppose, that's just a deflection and of no interest to you Mr O'Hare.
You have been warned to stop deflecting and I am niwdeleting you. This is not MM's echo chamber. Stick to the topic.
I watched on at least 4 different news outlets that members of Trump's team were in fact recorded/bugged/tapped/ as a "matter of routine security" while Obama was president.
Get over it already.Trump has been debunked by the FBI and NSA Directors. He needs to go.
