Bloomberg is now confirming it. It is a bit ridiculous to be fixated on who first broke the story as the story appears to be true.

Susan Rice recently lied and said that she knew nothing about it.

Why did Susan Rice lie? Did she lie, because it was illegal? If it was illegal, what did Obama know and when did he know it?
Actually, it's a good idea to be very much aware of who first broke the story considering 60 Minutes called Cernovich "fake news". He's long been accused of making things up, being a conspiracy theorist....so what does he do? Releases one of the biggest stories in some time.

If the MSM pretends that someone else broke the story, they can continue to discredit Cernovich any and every time he comes up with more news. It's what the MSM does.

The very fact that they will not give credit where it's due is only making more people consider them to be untrustworthy. This story may not be as 'loud' on here as it is elsewhere, but the people on here who keep trying to pretend that these stories aren't happening cannot silence everyone else on other platforms nor in government.

It's a huge story right now. Their pitiful deflections and denials will not make it go away.

From John Cardillo.

I'd say that sums it up accurately. Do the Dems and the MSM realize that we are laughing at them?
The thing that boggles the mind is that the media ridiculed Trump for not providing any evidence for the "wiretap" tweet. Then a few weeks later the Trump administration gives Devin Nunes access to the evidence and the media absolutely flips a biscuit. First they demanded evidence, and then they lose their minds over the process instead of focusing on the core issue.

Have you both not found out yet that Infowars is not a sole reporter on this?

I'm a lifelong conservative, but do we have to make up stuff and use discredited fake news sources?


Well, when it is gathered with political motives and accusations are flying by the left it is a big deal.

I saw it on ABC tonight (local affiliate) and Bloomberg is reporting it:

Quote:
Rice's requests to unmask the names of Trump transition officials do not vindicate Trump's own tweets from March 4 in which he accused Obama of illegally tapping Trump Tower. There remains no evidence to support that claim.

But Rice's multiple requests to learn the identities of Trump officials discussed in intelligence reports during the transition period does highlight a longstanding concern for civil liberties advocates about U.S. surveillance programs. The standard for senior officials to learn the names of U.S. persons incidentally collected is that it must have some foreign intelligence value, a standard that can apply to almost anything. This suggests Rice's unmasking requests were likely within the law.

If this had been reversed and someone in the Trump administration, they would lead the national news with it. They would be going on day and night. The bias is clear.
