CNN says that it is now a proven fact that Trump wasn't spied on by Obama because Comey said "he sees no evidence."

Comey also said he sees no evidence of Trump colluding with Russia. However, CNN says that we need to keep investigating because, well, there MIGHT be something there.. Eventually. Some day. In a few years. Maybe.

Question: Why is the issue now "settled" on wiretapping but not settled on Russia? There is more evidence that there is no Russia connection than there is evidence to disprove Trump's wiretap claims.

Both of these "scandals" are absolute nonsense to distract the American people. Wake up.

You did start with CNN didn't you?

That's the answer. Have a great day.

Because the left is composed of admitted hypocrites. They are hypocrites, they admit they are hypocrites, and frankly they don't understand why being called a hypocrite is a bad thing. They just don't understand the term. They are no longer concerned with credibility. They are using the shotgun approach. Just spray as much shot on the wall, and hope something sticks. If nothing sticks, then keep firing until there is so much bullshite, no one considers you relevant anymore.

Hypocrisy

I'm with you dude. This board has become a cesspool of ignorant liberal/never Trumpers. No logic, no common sense...just a waste of time.

This is all true.

It is also true that the right was constantly upset at Obamas use of EOs and vacations, but when Trump does it it's "elections have consequences". Both sides are extremely hypocritical. Don't act like it's only the left. Obama in office: Needless spending!!! Trump in office: Melania should stay in NYC if she wants to!!!

Anytime there is a change in power, there is hypocrisy.

Do you honestly believe the level of resistance from the right during Obama could compare to the level of abject refusal to accept reality from the left? The right didn't have the entire mainstream media as their puppets either.

The media is traditionally liberal, so that argument is flawed from the start. Regardless, that has nothing to do with my point. My point is that Republicans said one thing when they were not in power, and are now doing the exact opposite when they come into power. That is called hypocrisy. If you choose not to see it, then nothing can be done about that.

The media traditionally reported the news and didn't become part of the story. The new trend is to pretend to present the news while at the same time driving home a narrative to support a specific party.

That's not news. That's political opinion shows or political entertainment.

NSA Documents show that TRUMP was spied on. Obama buggged him.

This is a pointless tangent to the main conversation. The real issue is the fact that hypocrisy is a trait of politics. When power moves hands, so do peoples opinions on how to enact policy. The side in power is always much more willing to go full authoritarian while the other side is always crying out against it. In reality we should all be against authoritarian government all the time.

That doesn't make any sense.

And i agree. But that also has nothing to do with my point about the levels of resistance from the right compared with the left.

They've been saying that Russia influenced the election every day since November. That was proven to be false today. I wonder if they'll apologize for the misinformation they spread about that.

There are actually people who voted for Donald Trump and who are accusing the others of possessing no logic nor common sense.

Go make a separate thread if you want to compare resistance levels. But you aren't wrong. That just isn't the point of this conversation.

Obama had an executive order found unconstitutional, and he ignored it and kept issuing visas.

Not a peep. Shut up, you're racist.

Obama was found in contempt of court for ignoring a federal judge's order on offshore drilling in Louisiana. Not a peep. See above. You're a racist.

frick that Chicago thug.

Well technically your response isn't directly related to the OP either. The topic was regarding CNN and the left's hypocrisy regarding the Russians matter.

This is a discussion board. Slightly off topic but related conversations are allowed.

You Trumpkins are all about accountability and credibility when it comes to anyone besides Trump or his associates. It's hilarious and no one can take you seriously.
