Trump has a lot of ammunition to go after Obama, but the media won't help him. Remember, if it weren't for the media, Nixon would have gotten away with Watergate. If Nixon had been a democrat he would have stayed in office without much controversy.
You can bet Trump won't have any investigative reporters helping him. And you can be sure the media won't report anything negative on Obama. In fact, not only will they not report it, but they will do everything they can to protect him and keep the "Trump is a Russian spy" narrative going.
Bottom line: I don't think anything is going to come from all of this. The media is too powerful. Republicans in Congress don't have the balls to really go after Obama because they know the media will destroy their chances at re-election. And I doubt anything happens to the leakers, even though all of them committed felonies. The Republicans will let it slide.
And remember, Sessions has recused himself, so he cannot investigate ANY of this.

Actually by attacking his tweets this morning, they shifted the focus to the wiretaps.
And the existence of the wiretap begs a lot of inconvenient questions.

Deputy AG will despite Obama's best efforts (see my other thread).

Trump needs to demand Sessions reverse his decision to recuse himself.

Sessions did not recuse himself from investigating the wiretapping of a presidential candidate.

His statement said he has recused himself from investigating "anything related to the campaign in any way."

Exactly. He is green lighted for this.

I agree.
It is up to us, the people, to demand more.

Sessions is free to conduct any investigation he choses into this matter.

I have doubts.
The media has always had a leftward slant, but they once strove to be as objective as they could be.

What press?? Who watches CNN or MSNBC again?
Trumps only worry should be if the people who support him every falters. As of today they can't touch him, because an impeachment/thrown out of office, could spark a fire in people's arses to do more than riot.

Correct. But this would be dealing with post-election, transition team, wouldn't it?

What are you talking about leftward slant!? All major news channels are completely sold out to the Democrat/Liberal party and are pushing for Globalism!
