The mainstream media, the Deep State and the Democrat Party all went berserk on March 4, 2017. That was the date that President Trump sent four separate Tweets talking about how Barack Obama had tapped his phones in Trump Tower during the election. “Bad (or sick) guy.”
The media then proceeded to lecture America on the definition of “wiretap,” an old-timey method of tapping into a landline telephone using a Glass warrant, in order to call Trump a liar. “Why, the FBI hasn’t used wiretaps in years, due to the proliferation of cell phones! Obama couldn’t possibly have wiretapped him! That scallywag Trump is prevaricating again! Dare I say we should impeach him?”
Let’s take a trip down memory lane and look at some exact quotes from President Trump’s enemies, shall we?
James Clapper, Obama’s Director of National Intelligence: “For the part of the national security apparatus that I oversaw as DNI there was no such wiretap activity mounted against the President-elect at the time, or as a candidate, or against his campaign.”
PolitiFact: “We rate [President Trump’s] claim false.”
Former FBI Director James Comey (stated while under oath): “With respect to the president’s tweets about alleged wiretapping directed at him by the prior administration, I have no information that supports those tweets and we have looked carefully inside the FBI. The Department of Justice has asked me to share with you that the answer is the same for the Department of Justice and all its components.”
Dept. of Justice Court Filing Dated Sept. 1, 2017: “Both the FBI and NSD confirm that they have no records related to wiretaps as described by the March 4, 2017 tweets.”
FactCheck.org: “Still no evidence, Mr. President.”
Fox News’ Shepard Smith, while rolling his eyes: “There’s no evidence of that. Of course, the president could learn first-hand whether the building in which he lives was wiretapped. All he’d have to do is ask the intelligence services. They work for him!”
Bloomberg News: “If the president has made false claims of a crime (wiretapping) without proof, there’s only one constitutional remedy.”
Reuters: “There has never been any evidence to support Trump’s assertion.”
Obama speechwriter Ben Rhodes: “No president can order a wiretap. Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like [Trump].”
Cecilia Varga, ABC News Senior White House Correspondent: “Nine days after President Trump accused Obama of wiretapping him, there is still not one credible shred of evidence to back up that claim.”
Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK): “I think President Obama is owed an apology.”
I think Oklahoma is owed a new congressman in 2020!
Former Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), Now a Fox News Contributor: “I haven’t seen evidence of mass voter fraud and I have not seen evidence of wiretapping by Obama.”
Joint Statement from the Entire Senate Intelligence Committee: “There are no indications of any surveillance at Trump Tower.” (Both Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen are in prison now. Both lived in Trump Tower and both were wiretapped.)
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA): “I haven’t seen any evidence whatsoever to substantiate that.”
Esteemed Former Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), who serves as the very conscience of America and would never lie to you about anything, ever: “[Trump] claimed this was fact. I think this was just a distraction to distract from this very, very serious interference by a foreign power on our democracy. And the question of whether ‘Trump world,’ his campaign, his business associates, had anything to do with it and colluding with them.”
Jake Tapper, CNN: “There is no credible source that says this is true.”
Bakari Sellers, CNN Contributor: “We can beat around the bush and call it whatever we want to call it, but the President of the United States lied to the American public.”
Joe Scarborough, MSNBC: “This is a joke, right? I’m not being a smart**s here, but everybody knows Trump was lying about Obama and the FBI tapping him.”
Judge Andrew Napolitano, who became rabidly anti-Trump after the president refused to nominate him to the Supreme Court instead of Brett Kavanaugh: “Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command (to wiretap Trump Tower). He used the British intelligence spying agency (GCHQ).”
The entire Washington, DC-media apparatus aligned against President Trump for saying that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower. The president was factually correct once again.
And now those same people who said it was preposterous that Obama would have wiretapped Trump Tower are claiming that the Obama administration did not “spy” on the Trump campaign. Who do you suppose is more likely to be telling you the truth this time?
I do think we the people of OKLAHOMA needs a new CONGRESSMAN in. 2020 to say the least
media hahaha you mean as+holes=dumb-a-rats= cartoon news net works i wouldn,t believe a thing these bunch of as+hole=dumb-a-rats.
I think (R) tom cole needs to pull his head out of obamas butt and apologize to President Trump. Then he needs to find a new job!
So people are going to say that the news media lying to them serves a greater good….But then how are you going to know rather the so called news media, or just call them what they are “Propagandist’s”, are serving your greater good or trying to enslave you for someone else great good…? Grow the hell up and demand truth…period!
CNN is well on its way to being removed from TV and a no longer existing media station, and MSNBC is right behind them, for we the people demand truth from all are media and no bias reporting and these two stations give us nothing but ;ies and bias reporting!!! Trump is so right about the fake news and bias media, for they truly are the real enemy in are country and the evil that we must eradicate!!! These stations have given us nothing but lies and twisted spins on Trump for two years and still continue to divide are nation with propaganda!!!!
I honestly think we need a civil war in which to remove all the scum bag democrats out of this great country. These scum wont be happy unless they destroy America and rule over us like a dictator. If we don’t take these scum bags out they will make us all there slaves. George Washington fought to keep us free maybe we need to be like our founding fathers and fight to keep our country free and safe from these democrat scum bags. The left are complete cowards and will not fight back they will fall very easy. Remember this country was started by disobedience People.
Tom Cole. Please take Mark Twain’s advice keep your mouth shut and appear stupid rather than open it and remove all doubt.
This applies to K.Harris, Booker, Elizabeth Warren,N. Pelosi, C.Schumer and that guy in Alabama
Move over Jimmy Carter you have been usurped by B O.
“If the media says it, then it must be true, with the exception of Fox”… at least that’s what my liberal acquaintances constantly try to convince me of.
All this MEDIA BULLSHIT started back in the “Viet Nam Era” That “Shi_head, Cronkite” kept telling everyone at CBS’s 5:00 News just how bad we (the Military) were doing. The “poor schmucks” who turned on and listened to the 5:00 News believed all this bull shit. The National media reported all this garbage,; Newspapers sold, College Students believed this crap they heard on TV. (Remember “KENT STATE) SENSATIONALISM SOLD! The papers quickly started sending all their “journalist” (?) there to report every thing that was wrong… that was sensational! Believe me! I was there! I, along with every other soldier (on the ground, in the jungles and highlands, in the deltas, in the air, off shore) had to put up with all these “journalist” asking questions, snooping around, sending back “harrowing tales” they were experiencing…mostly in the “rear areas”. Ask any old VET that was there. He’ (and she… the nurses) will tell you. So now this “CLIMATE OF JOURNALISTIC BULL SHIT” still exists.
These are actually fantastic ideas in concerning blogging.
You have touched some nice points here. Any way keep up wrinting.
I’ve been browsing online greater than 3 hours today, but
I never discovered any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content
material as you probably did, the net can be much more
useful than ever before. I have been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, yet I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours.
