Wiretapping a Presidential Candidate using the power of the Federal Government by a political opponent is perhaps the greatest political scandal of our lifetime.

Don't downplay this with your partisan sensibilities.

George W. Bush is a man. A man would never stoop to address such a middle school level diss. Donald Trump is a petulant childlike girlie man who can't take any slights without completely getting his panties in a bunch.

I get that Trump triggers libs and that gives you wild entertainment. Understandable. Me too to an extent. But you thinking that's how a "man" acts is **** joke!
Were you raised by women? Your response is what a woman would tell a man to do. This is the reason we have a society full of pussies...people drop their kids off at daycare to be cared for by semi-literate welfare queens so they can afford to lease an audi, then wonder why their kids are resentful pussies when they get older.

Bush was the embodiment of the gracious loser ideal liberals have for conservatives.
LMAO, you are missing the point, but you know that with a ridiculous reach that looks embarrassing for you. A man stands up for himself when necessary. You think it's necessary for the POTUS to stand up for himself in a twitter beef with another reality show star. A man wouldn't stoop to such a middle school girlie level, he probably should have delegated this one to Omarosa.
A man (and a leader in particular) stands up for himself. Your response is what a mom would tell her son to do.

You've got the wrong group. The Usuals are the dedicated and fawning Trump supporters. The UnUsuals are those dedicated to hatred of Trump.

This Trump tweet might be the best one yet, though. Accusing a former POTUS of wiretapping a POTUS candidate is a pretty big deal. If it came from his intelligence officials (which we all know he didn't get it from them, but I'll play along), then he shouldn't be tweeting it out. If it came from RWNJ websites or radio shows (90% likely), and it proves to be false, then he's in deep doodoo.

And if it is true, then Obama is most likely in deep doodoo, although he's a slippery little devil, so I'm not taking that to the bank.

Good points.......LOL. I just can't believe he'd put something out there this big without having proof. If it's not true.......he's stepped in a pile up to his neck.....

Quite a leap there Cap'n.

I have missed the point evidence of such an accusation for one. But believe what you want, and be sure to be manly in believing it.

Andrew McCarthy has written several articles about this in the past month. If I recall correctly the DOJ asked for a wiretap re financial transactions between Trump business and Russians. Judge said wasn't enough evidence so denied it as a fishing expedition. So next DOJ/FBI went the FISA route, claiming what Trump was doing had national security implications. Request was too broad and FISA judge rejected it. They narrowed the scope, went back, and this time FISA judge approved. Ultimately FBI report said no nefarious link.

Not sure it's necessarily as big of a deal as you suggest IMO.

Let me ask this, though. What is a higher likelihood:

A. Conservative media getting their news from former employees working for the white house, or;

B. The White House getting surveillance intelligence from conservative media.

I think it goes back to the stupid debunked Salon.com story about the "Trump server" communicating with the Russians. Obama used a Salon article to get a FISA warrant it appears.
