Although our corrupt media is pretending the exact opposite is the case, here are the facts…. To find the truth, you might have to read 14 paragraphs below a dishonest New York Times or CNN headline, but again and again we are being told there is absolutely no evidence that the Trump Campaign did anything wrong with respect to Russia.
On the other hand, there is all kinds of evidence Trump is correct in his assertion that the Obama Administration wiretapped Trump Tower.
For the last few months, numerous reports in media outlets hostile to Trump have reported on the existence of wiretaps, as well as the Obama White House receiving reports on these wiretaps, as well as the Obama White House being granted a FISA warrant that would authorize, among other things, wiretaps.
Moreover, prior to the Inauguration and Trump moving into the White House, there is only one place where Team Trump could have been wiretapped — at Trump Tower.
Adding to this pile of evidence is Josh Earnest, Obama’s former-Press Secretary, and his highly legalistic parsing when confronted with a direct question about the Obama Administration’s involvement in wiretaps against Trump and his team, wiretaps that almost certainly existed.
Here’s a partial transcript from Sunday morning. But you should read the whole thing. [emphasis added]
ABC NEWS’ MARTHA RADDATZ: That’s not what I’m asking. What I’m asking is, can you deny that the Obama Justice Department did not seek and obtain a FISA court-ordered wiretap of the Trump campaign?
JOSH EARNEST: It was a cardinal rule — here’s the simple answer to that question, is, Martha, I don’t know. And it’s not because I’m no longer in government. The fact is, even when I was in government, I was not in a position of being regularly briefed on an FBI criminal or counterintelligence investigation. …
RADDATZ: Do you to know whether the president was ever given information about surveillance at Trump Tower?
EARNEST: What I can tell you — well, first of all, I’m not aware of all of the details of how the president was briefed by the FBI. But what I can tell you is the president was not giving marching orders to the FBI about how to conduct their investigations. He was not asking for regular updates on FBI investigations.
Although the media is trying to tell us Trump has no evidence to back up his claims (when there is a ton of evidence), and that Wiretapper-In-Chief Obama could not have possibly had anything to do with this, 24 hours after Trump made his allegations, Obama’s own spokesperson was already reduced to hiding behind…
“I don’t know.”
Moreover, according to The New York Times, Earnest’s answer about whether or not Obama was briefed on these wiretaps is just plain old false.
Obama was briefed…
The F.B.I. is leading the investigations, aided by the National Security Agency, the C.I.A. and the Treasury Department’s financial crimes unit. The investigators have accelerated their efforts in recent weeks but have found no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, the officials said. One official said intelligence reports based on some of the wiretapped communications had been provided to the White House.
To recap…
According to the national media’s own (hidden) reporting, there is ZERO evidence Trump and his campaign did anything wrong with respect to their communications with Russian officials.
But there is all kinds of evidence from the MSM (that is now denying it) that Trump Tower was wiretapped by the Obama Administration.
