You haven't provided anything that proves what was said was incorrect. We know for certain that Clinton met with Lynch on that tarmac.

Wapoo is far left wing outlet. They have been spreading fake Russian connection news. There is no proof so far between the two administrations.

On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Marco Rubio said he had seen “no evidence” to back up Trump’s wiretap claims.

Rubio is a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee that’s been looking into Trump’s ties to Russia, so presumably he's heard the classified briefings on the issue.

He did add that since this accusation has been put out there, the WH will have to follow up with what was behind it.

False.

There actually was hacking. There actually is Trump on record encouraging it. There actually is a record of close Trump associates not only communicating with Russia, but later lying about it.

We don't know how deep it goes, hence why we need an investigation.

This nonsense from Trump, however, is wholly unsupported by anything even resembling a fact.

Trump was so presidential in that speech. We all had our hopes up.

Sad.

It doesn't really matter how many diversionary tactics Trump uses. The truth will come out one way or the other.

In fact, this is a perfect example of Trump being tactical but not strategic. He doesn't like attention focused on him and Russia, so he throws out this accusation of Obama tapping his phones to divert attention from that issue. At the end of the day, though, it's going to backfire because any investigation of Obama and FISA warrants will also bring evidence about Trump and Russia to light.

Obama should simply call his bluff. Say "I'm open and willing to participate in any Congressional investigation that involves the FBI, FISA warrants, Donald Trump, his campaign and associates and Russia." Boom!

It's been addressed many times, not to mention, it's a blog, and they site their own articles as "sources".

Then they (Trump folk) have the audacity to cry fake news at anything that doesn't praise Dear Leader.

If it ends up being true and the people responsible aren't prosecuted, then Trump will be able to do the same in the next 2 elections.
