Trump Turns to FOX News to Defend His 'Wiretap' Lie, After His Nunes Stunt Implodes



Caroline O.? @RVAwonk 50m50 minutes ago
Trump's attempt to funnel info through Nunes failed, so he's now citing Fox News to "support" his false wiretapping claim.

We talked about this. You were supposed to change the password and hide the phone.
Better cancel that trip to China, girl.

All said no tap from President Obama's adminstration yet he still keeps spewing the lie. He's endangering our men and women in uniform keeping this crap up. What countries will continue to share intelligence with a country that has a ru$$isan sympathizer at the helm?

There was a Q & A some alt right reporter asked Trump if he felt vindicated.

This was how Trump handled the demands for him to apologize to Obama. He (Trump) tried to set up a scenario where he was vindicated.

As far as he knows, he was. Nobody that surrounds him has the intestinal fortitude to tell him no one bought it. Nunes came right out of the White House and said that it didn't vindicate Trump's claim that Obama bugged Trump tower, but the press IN THE ROOM where Trump was at, asked if he felt vindicated.

Rachel said last night that it was confusing, but when you take into account that Trump thought he was setting this whole 'vindication' thing in motion, it's not all that confusing.

The press just aren't as stupid, and Trump isn't as smart, as Trump thinks.

This is eating up even more of his time to implement his disastrous agenda because he won't admit that he shouldn't have tweeted that "wire tapp" nonsense.

7. I'm calling it a cyber-lynching. Hang an innocent black guy with no evidence, and guess what,

the actual criminal is the happiest guy around because he knows who the real criminal is and he gets off.

Trump's strategy is ridiculously transparent and as many people will fall for it as voted for him, I'm afraid. Now Trump is cyber-lynching in ALL CAPS.

11. I can easily imagine those 100 FBI agents on his case saying, "The perp is getting buggy."
