President Donald Trump is asking Congress to look into whether the Obama administration abused its investigative powers during the 2016 election, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said in a statement Sunday.
The request came a day after Trump took to Twitter to accuse former President Barack Obama, without providing any evidence, of wiretapping his phones in Trump Tower in the weeks before the November election.
"Reports concerning potentially politically motivated investigations immediately ahead of the 2016 election are very troubling," Spicer said in the statement, which he also posted on Twitter. "President Donald J. Trump is requesting that as part of their investigation into Russian activity, the congressional intelligence committees exercise their oversight authority to determine whether executive branch investigative powers were abused in 2016."

"Neither the White House nor the President will comment further until such oversight is conducted," Spicer added. He did not provide any further details on the President's request to Congress.

Trump gives great speech Wednesday, everyone is pleased. Dems drop shit on him Friday to change the narrative. Donny counterattacks Saturday to change the narrative again. Unlike every other Repug, Don does not give 1/2 of a fuck and will counterattack from a position of strength, weakness, or ridiculousness.

and now this:

The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trump’s assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trump’s phones, senior American officials said on Sunday. Mr. Comey has argued that the highly charged claim is false and must be corrected, they said, but the department has not released any such statement.

Perhaps confirmation bias on my part but if the O administration via one of his corruptocrats (wink wink) did this or if Donny's getting extra cray cray, it's all part of our continued unwinding of the fabric that binds the US.

On a lighter note from one of our cultural and strategic periodicals.

I know Obama spied on ~35 world leaders, the French, Chinese, Russians, Germans, British, and Canadians, had Americans' Google and Yahoo accounts hacked into, pushed Verizon to hand over millions of Americans' phone records each day, tapped underwater internet cables, took info from gamers, went after political opponents and targeted foreign energy companies but it's impossible to believe he wiretapped Trump.

Trump colluded with the Russians, he is going to never show his tax returns because they will reveal how deep he is in with them, and this wiretap bullshit is just Conspiracy Theory President feeding raw distracting meat to the faithful.

He is exactly the batshit crazy President I expected.

No. He is the President who you said couldn't win. This game in DC isn't going to stop anytime soon because of that fact more than any other. The difference now is Trump won't back down. And if the FISA court did what is reported, Trump wins another week.

are you saying it would be wrong for u.s. intelligence agencies to try to listen in on the russian ambassador, when we know the russians are fucking with the election thru the email hacking--and perhaps more?

Let's stop being cute. The NSA can and does monitor the Russian Ambassdor. They cannot without a warrant monitor US Citizens. If they surveilled Trump Tower because of an alleged server there that was talking to Russia, even if Trump was arranging Yellow showers in payment for further flexibility in Crimea for Vlad and more flexibility after the election for the Donald, Trump wins here.

Not convinced by either side here, but the compare and contrast reaction to this allegation vs the "Russians hacked poor Hilliary" reactions are telling. Keep in mind the previous administration defied contempt orders, survielled journalists, and met with the Soviets and the Ambassador himself dozens of times.

Interesting times.

Then there were potentially criminal comms between Trump Tower and the Russians that a warrant was gained to listen in on. Not sure how that is a win for Trump. Looking forward to hearing the details, though.

Along with seeing those tax returns and finding out how deep the financials ties run.

Once we get confirmation that the Obama DOJ surveilled a political opponent, completely in their Pattern of Life by the way, this is over. He is continuing to Troll you. And you keep losing.

Good.

are you saying that obama's (and his admin's) meeting with russians are equivalent to meetings that kushner and sessions had with the russian ambassador during the campaign--when the russians were involved in criminal activity (stealing email) designed to meddle with a national election?

powerlifter54 · Post by **powerlifter54** » Mon Mar 06, 2017 9:22 pm

This might be a good time for all you Hilliary/Obama fans to start working out more, find a new hobby, or just go EMCON. As I suspected the Obama DOJ sought a criminal warrant for a Wiretap, and were denied. Then a FISA warrant. Again no dice. Then they got a FISA warrant for Trump Tower in October, during an Election. All facts. This would be a great time to go away for awhile, as I suspect some people are about to do in another way. If you had just acted like adults and shrugged off the loss and decided to work harder and smarter. But you didn't. Payback time fellas. Time for some sworn testimony, a new FBI director, and some frog marching.

Good.

From Trey Gowdy

But Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), an Intelligence Committee member and the former Benghazi Committee chairman, said it should be easy to discern whether the intelligence community was spying on Trump or any of his campaign officials.

“There is a paper trail. There is an application. There are warrants, all of which can be reviewed. And right now, the executive branch is controlled not by the Obama administration but by the Trump administration,” Gowdy said during an appearance Monday on Fox News.

“So whatever information is out there — and there would be a paper trail — is now controlled by the executive branch run by Mr. Trump.”

Time for the Orange Anus to put up or shut up. should take minutes from him to declassify it all and let us see it.

Payback time? You think this is a fucking game?

What exactly do you think America stands for? I always thought it was freedom. Its why im a liberal. Freedom for you, freedom for me.

Good news for you is you are pissing off the millenials who will bring back liberalism like youve never seen before which will ensure you are protected in your old age from lack of health care and getting your caretaker deported. And, for fucks sake, all the other retarded harmful shit this administration is doing to our country.

Take off the blinders man. Trump is at best mentally ill, and its only been five weeks.

Responses like that always make me think you guys are just a bunch of mean spirited assholes.

Its not a sin to think about your fellow humans. In fact, thats the point.

Jesus wept.

The Donald may just be the first President to just plain "quit". He's gonna have a melt down before long the way things are going. The best thing you guys who like him could possibly do is stomp the hell out of his phone so he quits trying to prove his absolute inability to understand his job with the damn tweeting.

If you listen to Scott Adams and the like, Trump's tweets are brilliantly orchestrated packets of persuasion and world class negotiations
