No, he obviously doesn't know what it specifically refers to, and that is fricking sad. My 12 year old nephew can tell you that General McCarthy was the pranoid guy who was looking for communists everywhere. The fact that the president doesn't know is unconscionable. We are seriously fricked.


McCarthyism, in colloquial usage, is making accusations of treason without proper evidence. I guess the question is did you know that?

But he could also probably tell you that Mccarthyism is a colloquial way of referring to a paranoid witch hunt.

So assuming there was a warrant allowing the wire tap, what are the idiots claiming Obama did wrong? A court issued the warrant because sufficient probable cause / national security issue was presented.

And if it's sealed until the court decides to unseal it, we aren't going to see it. And not even the Oompa Loompa can change that

So it's another case of trump shootIngnoff with very little info and less knowledge and the low brows of the poli board taking it and running with it

You don't see a problem with one administration spying on another, and then attempting to control who at DoJ eventually investigates the wire taps at Trump tower by EO?

quote:

Seven days before he left office, President Obama changed the order of succession without explanation to remove Boente from the list. Obama's order had listed U.S. attorneys in the District of Columbia, the Northern District of Illinois and the Central District of California.


Also as a reminder, the FBI find ZERO evidence of wrongdoing, so the Obama administration then decided to conduct a national security investigation using the wire taps approved for conducting a criminal investigation (that lead nowhere).

quote:


Obviously, we haven’t seen the FBI affidavits (assuming they actually exist), and we do not know lots of other relevant facts. What we have, however, suggests that someone at the FBI initially had concerns that banking laws were being violated, but when the Bureau looked into it, investigators found no crimes were being committed. Rather than drop the matter for lack of evidence of criminal offenses, the Justice Department and FBI pursued it as a national-security investigation.




That's when it blatantly became a political witch hunt targeting the Trump transition team.

Active spying on political enemies is basically what Nixon did. The FBI saw that that the criminal investigation that the Obama admin used to justify the wire taps at Trump Tower were bullshite, so the Obama admin decided to change it into a national security investigation.

Unbelievable corruption. You should be alarmed at this. We all should.

Educate yourself. Read this:

Another question that should be asked is who had access to any information gathered? Was it leaked? Almost certainly.

There has been ZERO evidence of the talking points the Democrats have been screaming. This is nothing but an organized campaign to discredit the Trump Administration and it is time to appoint a Special Prosecutor to go after the leakers and the conspirators.

Obama will soon learn why outgoing Presidents actually act like a lame duck and then get the frick out of politics for good after they leave the White House and Obama will soon be wishing he had taken that stance as well.

Trump could've parsed his tweets better but he's dead on towards what a piece of shite Obama really is. For all the talk about Trump being a fascist, most people refuse to acknowledge that Obama was a legit fascist during his presidency given the way he spied on and sabotaged his political opponents and the only reason why he got away with it is because the media shared his political ideology.
