How about this; Trump is the President, he is in the best position of anyone in the US to get to the bottom of this. If he really believes he was wiretapped why hasn't he brought in the FBI, DOJ, NSA, Secret Service? Do you think he's so brilliant that he has determined that his best approach is to don a sherlock holmes hat and investigate this on his own?

You need to get up to speed.

Trump has called for an investigation on this issue.

Time for Pence, et al, to invoke the 25th Amendment.



Donald Trump should be removed for another reason, he is mentally unstable.

In fact, I think he sometimes is too straightforward to a fault. In Washington politics, you need to be more like other shifty and crafty politicians, i.e. like a Hillary or Obama and not speak his mind all the time.
I am totally in agreement. I think that is what has the die hard politicians shaking in their boots. It's been totally ok for the other WH politicians to spread rumors and for news outlets to continue to beat a dead horse over allegations.

Could he be a bit more tactful....and sneaky and just allude or infer like many politicians do....maybe....Give him time. But, I like that My President throws it out there, cuts out the possibility of being mis quoted.....That likely drives MSM crazy.

Looking at how the Dem supporters are behaving....I can see why other Dems avoid being blatantly honest....Total melt downs.

I personally like an in your face person....At least then you know what you are dealing with and discussions can begin....It is the behind your back types that I have never trusted, political or otherwise.

Default Trump's Loss of Credibility

I think Donny Con has lost all credibility except of course with his rabid base, but even they may start doubting him after this weekend. Comey has made it crystal clear BO did not tap his phones nor could he have.

Through his spokesperson this morning on a number of network shows he has now doubled down and refused to withdraw his false claim about BO wire tapping his phones.

This is but another example of a long and growing list of lies he continues to spew with no facts or foundation other than if he says them, they must be true. Remember BO wasn't born here, the Muslim celebrations of 9/11 that never occurred, 3,000,000 illegal voters in the 2016 elections, people coming from Mass to NH to vote illegally, inaugural crowd size, and of course the biggest of them all - I can't release my tax returns because I am under audit - which has been entirely refuted by the IRS.

What a shame that we have a bona fide serial liar as our President, at a time when we need someone in the WH, with unquestionable honesty, integrity and the moral authority to lead us through all the challenges awaiting us as a Country.

WHat a MESS you have created for us Donny!

They create the case as in investigate and put all the facts together to substantiate the charges alleged. They then bring "the case" to the appropriate legal branch to prosecute or not depending on how good "a case" they made against the person arrested for the alleged crimes.

Semantics fail again.....Next?

"he can't trust the people HE appointed?"

Sorry to burst your "I hate Trump bubble" but, the intelligence community is NOT ALL "his" appointed people.

The ONLY ones he has appointed so far are cabinet position.

There are many positions that are held by regular govt employees.

Like Lois Lerner.

He never had any credibility with half the country.

He will never lose it with the other half.

We're in big trouble.
