Why investigate one and not the other, they ask?

Did 17 intelligence agencies inform Donald Trump that Barack Obama "wire-tapped" the Trump Tower?

Seventeen intelligence agencies thought Russia was interfering with our elections.

Tell us this, grasshopper.

If you knew the Russians were under surveillance by our intelligence, why did you have secret meetings with them?

Why would you slip the Russian ambassador thru the back door, for a meeting with your son-in-law, Jared, and General Mike Flynn?

Why did Jeff Sessions lie about meeting with the Russian ambassador? Under oath!

If they did not investigate such shenanigans, it would be a dereliction of duty and oath.

To suggest that a Tweet by Donald Trump deserves the same moral equivalency as the information from 17 intelligence agencies borders the line of insanity.

Since he's the one insisting Obama wire tapped him, he should testify under oath as to how he came upon that information. He will say he read it on Breitbart, despite the fact he could have asked the intelligence agencies himself. Instead of taking intelligence briefings or learning actual information from the heads of the many security agencies, his "information" comes from Fox News and Breitbart, just like your average high-school dropout.

I say get him under oath and start asking him questions. He'll lie of course. He lies constantly. But then it will be perjury.

Of course, Trump's whole assertion is vaporware, but when your conservawhacko friends start prattling on about it, ask them what they think he's hiding. Why isn't he more transparent with the American people?
