Breaking: Confirmation that trump team was spied on

[TheRickyB]

No, it isn't. The the government has a vested interest in ensuring the incoming administration has the nation's best interests at heart.

It would be stupid to not keep an eye on candidates and their teams.

man where were you when Nixion needed you lol. i wasnt wiretapping them to spy just for the Nations best interest!!!

[Spectral]

Again deflection that's not what Trump is claiming and again Trump runs the government, how do you claim the government is out to get you when you are the government?

Trump's a dipshit. I really don't know where anyone gets the idea that I'm defending Trump in any meaningful sense. Many of his critics are completely odious and I point that out, but that doesn't make me a fan of the man.

Well looks like Nunes is walking the whole thing back. Probably too late though.

[Allybeboba]

But does he demonstrate an educated opinion or an uncritically, biased opinion on his show? Having an opinion is fine, it's how you get there that matters.

I wouldn't know what he demonstrates. I don't watch his show.

He will be lucky if he isn't arrested for obstruction of justice.

[Kujako]

Or for violation of the espionage act. But who are we kidding, the Republicans wont do anything to him.

Yeah, I am not betting on Nunes being arrested either.

You're projecting. Everything I've wrote is defensible and coherent while you're ranting in an unhinged fashion.

How was anything you said defensible?

"They all lie, all of them!" Why are you even discussing this if no one can be believed?

[Sunseeker]

Again. Nixon didn't get in trouble for wiretapping. He got in trouble for having the FBI physically raid and steal information from the Watergate Hotel on his political opponents.

At this point, I have to wonder if there is an elected Republican left that's capable of even the most casual of relationships with the truth. This is truly absurd, fuck Nunes.

I'm struggling to figure out who's worse, him or Chaffetz.

Plenty of people can. Just not Congress or the IC. If you think these are honest interlocutors, you're incredibly gullible.

Tell me what that statement means then, please enlighten me and say 1 thing of substance.

Just to be clear, your position lacks any substance, so the idea that anyone should be concerned with meeting your standard of substantial is laughable. Even so, I have, multiple times, posted a succinct summary, and substance based explanation of what actually took place, instead of the fairy tale you conjured.

So let's try it this way; the statement ultimately means nothing, and at best is a convoluted mess. This is especially highlighted by the fact he undercut his own statement in the answers he gave to the reporters immediately following the nothingness he asserted. As I stated earlier, you're actually arguing against Nunes at various points. What's worse than this, and somehow more hilarious, is that you were utterly incapable of comprehending what he said, or didn't even try to, and instead fabricated "confirmation" of your own bullshit as result.

It was unintentionally perfect of you.

I came looking for a wall, an America without illegals and all I found was desperation. Well Jesus didn't become Christ number 1 in a day so there is hope still for Christ number 2.

Possibly McCain.

The answer you are looking for is Paul Ryan

[Dr Assbandit]

Possibly McCain.

McCain is in this weird limbo where Trumpsters absolutely loathe him and he's still disliked by certain Democrats.

Whatever his politics have been I've always had respect for the man.

Naw, McCain and Graham talk the talk but I've yet to see either one of them actually do anything. They're making out like bandits with the press though, and it's making them look like god damn heroes to liberals without having to do a fucking thing.

My respect wanes a little more every time he misplaces his spine.

In McCain's defense, it is hard to do much when the rest of your party does not agree with a lot of your stances, and thus does not care to help your agenda.
