Having thrown the Justice Department under the bus yesterday, it appears the FBI Director has not managed to pass the hot potato of blame/responsibility for Trump's wiretap accusations. As The Hill reports, a White House spokeswoman on Monday said she "doesn't think" Trump accepts Comey's denial of the president's claims.
As a reminder, a New York Times report Sunday said Comey asked the Justice Department to publicly reject the president's claims. Senior U.S. officials told the Times that Comey has said the president's wiretapping allegations are false and asked the Justice Department on Saturday to publicly correct the record. The FBI and DOJ declined to comment to the newspaper.
But, as The Hill reports, it appears President Trump is not buying Comey's denial that former President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower during the campaign.
"No, I don't think he does," Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

She said the president "wants the truth to come out to the American people and he is asking that it be done through the House Intelligence Committee and that that be the process that we go through."
Additionally, The Hill reports that Trump aide Kellyanne Conway also called for Comey to share any information he might have on Trump's allegations.
“If Mr. Comey has something he’d like to say I’m sure we’re all willing to hear it,” Conway said on Fox News. “All I saw was a published news report. I didn’t see a statement from him. I don’t know what Mr. Comey knows.
“If he knows, of course he can issue a statement,” Conway said. “We know he’s not shy.”
In the meantime the pushback against Trump's accusation continues to grow with increasingly more republicans now rejecting the president's claims, and moments ago House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz told CBS that he has seen nothing that backs Trump's wiretap claims. "Thus far, I have not seen anything directly that would support what the president has said," Jason Chaffetz said.
Chaffetz said it would take a while for a House Intelligence panel investigating the alleged Russia links to get to the bottom of the wiretapping allegation and that his committee would play a supporting role in that. The leader of the Democrats in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, on Monday called on the Department of Justice's inspector general to probe any possible political interference in its investigation of contacts between Trump's associates and Russia.
Pry that black box open and shine the light in.
Dump CoMee ... asap ...
DOJ hasn't exactly jumped up and quickly done what Comey demanded, has it? One would think that would be a quick and easy denial.... unless it's actually true.
Comey........do I take the call from Hillary or Donald?
Help.....I don't know what to do!
If the guy reported to me I'd insist he come to my office today without fail. Him and a few others.
Comey's a ClintObama stooge; we know this.
And OF COURSE the GOPe is going to side with the Democrat vermin. They're all the exact same vermin, after all.
Mr Comey, DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED???
I think he might have ordered the Code Pink...
I'm with TRUMP !
Do you own a Harley trike ?
can you say egg mcmuffin
Not after a curbjob.
If he had intelligence agencies at his hand to advise of the legitimacy to these claims this wouldn't be a problem
Soooo, ummm, when does the subpoena from Trump's DOJ land on the FISA court's desk asking for some clarification under threat of them being placed on the No Fly List if they ignore it? ;-)
The paperwork on that should have been in order and ready to go before he started the tweets on this thing. He kinda did yell FIRE in a crowded theater. Then you gotta wonder if there is ANYBODY the guy can trust.
It's so bad I think he might be better off just firing everybody and holding a job fair on the WH lawn with a sign "No Swamp Experience Necessary".
Has there ever been a more politicized piece of shit running the FBI than Comey?
Trump kept him on for some reason or another.
"Trump Does Not Accept Comey's Wiretap Denial"
-OR-
"I'm the freakin dictator. I decide what's true or not."
Either you accept that someone has wiretapped him or you accept that Wapo and NYT has fabricated fake news. Oh wait.
Maybe this will be a turning point in NSA spying on Americans.
Edward Snowden got ignored TOO LONG
Government Spooks Can Use the Mic And Camera on Trump’s Phone Even When He Thinks it is Turned Off

Other people are catching on that comey is actually bating the DOJ to deny the wiretapping or not:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yeie7j2RSts
It actually a pretty smart move by Comey, and probably did it at the behest of Trump.
Alledgedly, he said the FBI didn't order the wire tap and asked the DOJ to say its false.
What if the evidence they have says it came from the DOJ in the first place? Lynch perhaps? Anyone who steps forward to agree with Comey is basically stepping in front of a train.
Plenty of people with no skin in the game are saying its false, but the carefully worded denial-not-denial from Obama et al means there is something there.
The entire Democrat game is based on semantics. The people who voted Trump in dont give a flying fuck about political lawyer double speak.
The judge, jury and executioner is now middle America, not the lizards of the beltway.
Who other than the FBI can do the 'wiretap'. After Obama signed off on any agency to call on the NSA for data, then, another agency might have gone to Lynch and Clapper.
The DC Park police?
Lynch herself? Clapper?
Update reference vault 7: CIA
"The entire Democrat game is based on semantics."
....for example... when Billie Clinton told us he did not have sex,( since a BJ according to his definition of sex did not count).
Besides the FBI, there are plenty of other politicized agencies that could have done the wire tap "legally" or illegally.
Bill Clinton groomed him well- Comey's resume reads like a Clinton Foundation cheerleader........
A FISA court warrant requires that "probable cause" be alleged in an affidavit attached to the petition for electronic surveillance. The fact that they found nothing from the surveillance means that the affidavit was false. Trump should demand to see that affidavit, find out what it alleges, and find out who signed it.
On the other hand, giving them time to get their stories straight and/or destroy evidence gives you criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice ;-)
Obama was trying to insure ALL evidence was saved with the assumption that it would hurt Trump. Since all the agencies supposedly now have access to it, it's going to be really hard to destroy it. He might be regretting that strategy and executive order right now.
Surprise! The BBC and other's reported about this back months ago, wiretaps etc, to be used as political reasons against Trump.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38589427
"A lawyer - outside the Department of Justice but familiar with the case - told me that three of Mr Trump's associates were the subject of the inquiry. "But it's clear this is about Trump," he said."
Checking on Russian claims...
"One official said intelligence reports based on some of the wiretapped communications had been provided to the White House."
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/19/us/politics/trump-russia-associates-i...
Whoops!
"The Guardian has learned that the FBI applied for a warrant from the foreign intelligence surveillance (Fisa) court over the summer in order to monitor four members of the Trump team suspected of irregular contacts with Russian officials. The Fisa court turned down the application asking FBI counter-intelligence investigators to narrow its focus. According to one report, the FBI was finally granted a warrant in October, but that has not been confirmed, and it is not clear whether any warrant led to a full investigation."

Trump is once again, RIGHT. That is why the media is in FULL RETARD PANIC MODE TODAY:

Yes....a job fair like this one.

.
The RNC has been stumped for a couple of decades...the DNC figured out long ago, to fill all the .gov corner offices with DNC plants (forget qualifications, forget experience, forget aptitude, etc). When you do this...you don't even have to "send the command", things just start working your way regardless.
Its sort of like what these big football universities (or Katy High in Tx) do....make an X-football coach; the President, vice-president, dean of admissions, dean of athletic dept, dean of education department, math teacher, english teacher, dean of etc...and somehow miraculously, you're football program is recruiting top talent....and equally as miraculously, they have passed their math class. It's an entire system of bias and under-the-carpet cooperative corruption.
The Establishment RINO's are using this to jump ship. Fuck em.
actually its 'egga-muffin'. ;-)
And still nobody seems to understand Trumps MO. He will just keep raising the stakes and doubling down until he wins a hand.
He is here for 48 months. This is what? Month 2?
There are no consequences for a 70 yo billionaire. He can just keep doubling down again and again. Nobody can call him. He doesn't have a career to lose, a mortgage to pay, dependents to protect or even a life to go back to.
Donald Trump is politically invincible.
He can call everyone else to go all in over and over again and he will still be there. Still calling his opponents to risk everything on every little argument. Again and again. Only a mentalist would take a stand against Trump. Thats why they all hide behind anonymity.
Very very sharp.
Kudos.
comey works for the arch criminal hillary clinton its just that simple.
Was there....or was there not..a FISA court order???
I've seen multiple former and current officials state, there was NO wiretap.
Are they being to cute by half? Do we not "tap wires" anymore? Maybe it's wireless and goes by a different term?
WTF?
"When it becomes serious, you have to lie."But James Clapper said on Meet The Liberals yesterday that there was no requests made to the FISA court and that...
"When it becomes serious, you have to lie."
So, that implys that AG Lynch did make the requests to FISA, Clapper is lying, and so...
"When it becomes serious, you have to lie."Right, sure, but that means.....
"When it becomes serious, you have to lie."OK...um..
"When it becomes serious, you have to lie."
"When it becomes serious, you have to lie."
"When it becomes serious, you have to lie."I get it.
"When it becomes serious, you have to lie."
Add to that "When it becomes serious, OBFUSCATE and sic your MSM attack dogs on your opponents." I saw that shithead Stephanopoulos go after Sarah Huckabee this morning and just turned it off after he interrupted her every time she started to talk. The first time she didn't get half way through her response/statement before he jumped in and angrily started telling her what she was saying was not true. These assholes are not even remotely close to impartial and now they aren't remotely polite to their guests. I was willing to monitor MSM coverage of events just to see what crap they were slinging so I had a feeling for what the uninformed were getting, but I can't stomach this shit. These people have gotten so out of hand they can't call it news anymore. It's pure propaganda.
If I were (unfortunately) attending on Georgie's show, I would start every reply with:
"FORMER CLINTON WHITE HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR STEPHANOPOULOS, why are you ...."
"FORMER CLINTON WHITE HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR STEPHANOPOULOS, you are ..."
until he gives up in despair.
It wasnt just the US spying on Trump but the English and Mossad too. Trump must use Pedogate or he loses period. His hand is being forced its time to get in the fight.
He''s a pedophile enabler.
We knew this shit was coming , I figured Trump was going to blow the lid off Washington or got assassinated trying.
We all know DC is corrupt. We just do not know how corrupt.
Frankly, there should be absolutely nothing that shocks or surpises us that we see exposed.
If they could do it and thought they would get away with it, then they did it.
It's that simple.
There is no code of honor, no oath that they have taken, that somehow has diminished the allure of power that these folks in DC have embraced.
Flush it now!!!!There 50 state's with very similar septic problem's!!!!!
Or is it just an excellent distraction for what the zionist are doing on the other fronts?
From RT: https://www.rt.com/news/379580-us-troops-manbij-syria/
Trump now has placed enough ground troops into Syria that they drive in armored convoys flying the american flag. Trump is taking Syria from the north as well as the east.
And why not? Putin wouldn't, he would not even declare a no-fly zone over Syria. This fits well with the recent story, declared false by Russia, the Russia bombed close to US forces. Now they are putting convoys on the road and taking land, and Putin cannot operate anywhere close to them.
Any push by the Syrian forces to the east from Aleppo has now been blocked. And that pattern will continue.
How many Russian convoys, manned by Russians, flying Russina flags go driving around those parts of Syria. Or anywhere other than close to their western coast base? Putin - time to go ride a horse without your shirt, or a photo opp wearing judo garb etc... Chess player my rear.
Quite a lot to figure it out.
Israel is planning to openly flaunt its conquests. This may irritate Russia. And I expect the whole UAE, Qatar and Saudi to jump over to American wagon again...
Putin's operational freedom is getting restricted. He is playing too straight. A little bit of crookedness may be the need of the hour. Like releasing the contents of a basement server. Or like releasing certain unappetizing pictures of the ruling clas...
