Conway On Wiretapping: Trump 'Has Information' That The Rest Of Us Don't
Source: Talking Points Memo
By MATT SHUHAM Published MARCH 6, 2017, 11:15 AM EDT
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Monday that Donald Trump may have claimed that his predecessor ordered wiretaps of his phones during the presidential campaign because the President receives "information and intelligence that the rest of us do not."
Conway was asked during an appearance on "Fox and Friends" how Trump knew that his phones had been tapped by President Barack Obama. Trump made the explosive, unsubstantiated claim in a series of tweets Saturday.
"Let me answer that globally," she said. "He is the President of the United States. He has information and intelligence that the rest of us do not. And that's the way it should be for Presidents."
Conway made similar comments Sunday night to Fox News' Jeanine Pirro that suggested Trump made the claim based on some unique intelligence.

Because you KNOW she would have been ranting about Obama having "Secret information he is keeping from us" if the tables were turned.

(1,129 posts)The Russian spy ship that was hanging out along the Florida coast intercepted some communications & or indications that they were not the only spies in the area..
They forwarded this revelation to 45 ....?
Surprised that KaC or 45 haven't just said
"Vlad told us and he is a really smart former KGB spy guy so like we trust him on matters such as this"

I don't think even the Russian hackers got this one.
And that's where 45 gets all his private intel ... from the Russians.

(50,561 posts)President Ford said you could impeach a ham sandwich for the crime of being a ham sandwich. Under the Ford Doctrine ("grounds for impeachment" is whatever we say they are) they need to impeach Donald Trump for the crime of being clinically insane and Mike Pence for aiding and abetting.
After that, we can place The Former President Trump Administration - including his entire cabinet, his campaign team and any staffers hired since 1/20/17 - under house arrest in the Winter Palace while we investigate his Russian connections and prosecute as necessary. Four years of Paul Ryan signing budget bills and complaining about not being allowed to tear the country apart won't be a thousandth as bad as what we now face.

were asked, "Don't you think the President knows more than you do?"

either of them from being lying, steaming sacks of shit.
