WASHINGTON — FBI Director James Comey Monday offered the most definitive repudiation yet of President Trump's claims that the Obama administration wiretapped the president's New York offices in advance of the 2016 elections.

“The FBI and the Justice Department have no information to support’’ Trump’s wiretap assertions, Comey said.

Comey, appearing before the House Intelligence Committee along with National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers, also confirmed for the first time publicly that the FBI was investigating Russian interference, including communications between Trump associates and Russian officials.

"We're investigating whether there was any coordination between people associated with the Trump campaign and the Russians,'' Comey said, declining to elaborate on whether any such evidence has been uncovered. Comey did acknowledge, however, that the Russians appeared to use a third party — a "cutout' — in its communications with WikiLeaks, which published internal communications obtained in the hack of the Democratic National Committee. The identity of the third party was not disclosed.

And Roger Stone, who had been bragging about connections to assange and knowledge of the email contents before they came out last fall but is now claiming he NEVER!... has been hit by a car... what a coincidence!

Nope, just like like you and randall, I am not privy to inside British intel.

Obviously, Flynn was monitored or Obama and his minions wouldn't have known Flynn talked to the Russian Ambassador.

There is at least circumstantial evidence that Pence is lying about what he knew too.

Stone and Giuliani seemed to have prior knowledge of the emails leaked as well...

Lots of threads to unravel before you pass a verdict.

It's also deemed proper for the idiot press to spread rumor, innuendo, supposition, flyblown conclusions and outright lies as hard news...if it's thought to damage Trump.

But any such reporting which tends to confirm what Trump said about being wiretapped is met with outrage and cries of being beyond the pale.

So, let's get it straight. The Trump campaign and perhaps Trump himself were "monitored" starting all the way back to July of 2016...electronically.

All the whining and screeching about Trump accusing Obama of wiretapping him is just an example of thumbsucking by sycophants of Obama who saw nothing wrong with Obama violating US laws so long as it advanced leftist causes...as he has many, many times.

Along comes a former Superior Court Judge with intelligence sources of his own to say Obama did indeed "monitor", "eavesdrop" and provide "surveillance" on Trump....and share the product of that "surveillance with the Obama Administration. AND....the outrage from leftist lunatic droolers in the press is deafening....and other quarters too!

"Fox News, along with its brethren MSNBC and CNN, apparently has no trouble endlessly repeating reports from unnamed sources of collusion between Team Trump and Russian operatives. Yet it dumped Judge Napolitano for challenging the mantra of the herd that Team Trump is guilty and Obama is innocent. Napolitano raised the British connection in a Fox News Opinion column on March 16:

Sources have told me that the British foreign surveillance service, the Government Communications Headquarters, known as GCHQ, most likely provided Obama with transcripts of Trump’s calls. The NSA has given GCHQ full 24/7 access to its computers, so GCHQ -- a foreign intelligence agency that, like the NSA, operates outside our constitutional norms -- has the digital versions of all electronic communications made in America in 2016, including Trump’s. So by bypassing all American intelligence services, Obama would have had access to what he wanted with no Obama administration fingerprints

Thus, when senior American intelligence officials denied that their agencies knew about this, they were probably being truthful. Adding to this ominous scenario is the fact that three days after Trump’s inauguration, the head of GCHQ, Robert Hannigan, abruptly resigned, stating that he wished to spend more time with his family."

The naming of American citizens in raw intelligence reports is illegal...unless authorized by one or more of about 20 intelligence personnel authorized to "unmask" them.

It's looking more and more like Trump...as usual, is right.

Trump and members of his campaign were monitored, eavesdropped on and were otherwise under surveillance.

All the people involved in American intelligence reported to Barack Hussein Obama.

Be very sure of one thing. This isn't over and won't be over until intelligence agency heads who work for President Trump have found out the last detail of what happened, who authorized it and what use was made of the information.

Trump himself said he was quoting a tv personality and we should blame Fox

Source it then. Some people don`t follow your line of reasoning and it`s very helpful to add your source for beliefs/facts for comparison.
