So why would an old white man get in any hot water for slandering the office while it was held by a black one?
Assuming they are giving him a pass
*as far as I know

Obama initiating this collection of information though, which was the whole point of Trump's initial claims.

13137176, No they are totally trying to shift the conversation.

The point is they basically thew him a bone, on some incidental cross tapping just to say "Well I wasn't totally wrong".

13137180, Russian ambassadors?
Posted by SoWhat, Wed Mar-22-17 03:54 PM
that's how they found out about Flynn talking to Russian diplomats - they were already surveilling the Ruskies and just happened across conversations w/Flynn.

He supposedly got the info from a Breitbart article...
http://www.businessinsider.com/ap-media-the-enemy-trump-sure-is-an-insatiable-consumer-2017-3
That he gets his news from Fox News and Breitbart isn't surprising but maybe as commander in chief he could have reached out to CIA or FBI to verify first before tweeting.. lol

13137204, the president's favorite newspaper is the new york post.
Posted by shygurl, Wed Mar-22-17 05:56 PM
fitting, unsurprising, utterly gross.

13137205, He's just muddying the waters to give Trump a talking point to save himself
Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Wed Mar-22-17 06:00 PM
Dude went to the White House like a little puppy dog
But Trump is going to cook off this for a minute

13137238, So instead of sharing this "information" with his committee
Posted by stravinskian, Wed Mar-22-17 09:28 PM
(and apparently he still hasn't done that), he takes it straight to the TARGET of the investigation.
Even John McCain is saying this proves he can't be in charge of this investigation, and the House needs a select committee.
