1. Fake News!

In this case it is the Tantrum Tweeter who is giving us fake news.

2. Interesting. This is very carefully worded.

He obviously never ordered surveillance on Trump.

However, he may be aware that surveillance took place. And, he would obviously know why.

I.e., "any U.S. citizen".

But of course (as other posts have noted) the FISA warrant could have been on those (like the Ambassador) from a foreign country and any communications intercepted by those parties, to U.S. citizens, is a whole other ballgame.

13. Many folks here don't seem to get that. n/t

5. it is

...the line about not interfering with an independent investigation was an interesting lead in.

7. Exactly.

So we can assume Trump has discovered the investigation. And, in typical fashion, he is lashing out at the person he perceives as his nemesis -- Obama.

I will have a long, tall glass of wine when these a$$holes go down.

17. President Obama is his nemesis. He is everything trump is not.

Trump is a classless, clueless clod compared to Mr. Obama. Trump always wants to be the alpha dog but is perceived by many as a frantic, yapping poser. He will never attain Mr. Obama"s stature in this country or internationally for all the reasons most people on this site already know.

[narnian60]

18. Oh, yeah.

[Demit]

8. I think it's worded to refute the accusation. No more, no less.

His knowing about the surveillance isn't an issue.

[madaboutharry]

3. Oh, to be a fly on the wall

and hear what Pres. Obama said this morning to Michelle.

I bet he said some bad words!

[erronis]

16. I would always rather be able to hear the Obama's private conversations

than anything the dt family said among themselves and friends
and business buddies
and foreign handlers
and criminal elements
and extortionists

kidding! I want to hear all of the racketeering talk between the dt and his folks that I can get.
Popcorn and butter are cheap additions to this entertainment.

[leftstreet]

6. Nice! So, does Trump think HE can order wiretaps at will?

What a buffoon!

[ecstatic]

10. Lol. I'm sure he'll find out when he tries and fails to get one against Obama

At least the U.S. government won't...

[spanone]

9. K&R...

[ffr]

11. i.e. tRump is paranoid.

[Ccarmona]

12. The President

Just can't "order" wire taps on anyone. Law Enforcement have to have probable cause and obtain a FISA warrant in order for a wire tap to begin. Trump's such a simpleton, he doesn't understand how ANYTHING works.

[They_Live]

14. I'm pretty sure that Trump

doesn't understand "the LAW". Heh heh.

[NBachers]

15. "Your Move"

[red dog 1]

19. K&R

[pansypoo53219]

20. wanna bet kerry was bugged by georgee.

[Cha]

21. I've read here that President Obama shouldn't

have responded.. but I think this is the perfect statement.

trump desperately wanted to change the subject so he lied like when he said he had good info Obama wasn't born in the US. Fucking sad wretch

[wolfie001]

23. False!

As in "That Orange Fuckturd is lying!"
