"Obama Administration Rushed to Preserve Intelligence of Russian Election Hacking" - NY Times 3/1/17

Was this the report that Mark Levin and Breitbart News later bastardized and distorted that led to this tweet:

'How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!'?

I think that's how these folks operate. They take an actual fact-based, well-researched story and re-write it to suit their purposes. They then pass the new and altered version to their uninformed masses, who take it at face value because it corresponds to the overall narrative they've heard on FOX and Rush and the rest of the Propaganda Perverts.

Trump is stupid, disinterested, illiterate and woefully uneducated. He's easy prey to the brainwashers that surround him. If he had read the NY Times story - and that is highly doubtful - it wouldn't surprise me in the least that his takeaway would have been that Obama had wiretapped him. Add the sinister involvement of Bannon, and that conclusion seems inevitable under the circumstances.

In case anyone wondered where in the hell did he come up with THAT...and why no one is willing to talk about it further. Alternative facts don't hold up well under scrutiny.

Couldn't we just force Levin to cough up his "source(s)"?

It's not like he's a real journalist or anything. He's an entertainer. The same label all of the RWNJ's ascribe to themselves when they need to wiggle off the hook.

The entire real world knows that this was nothing more than a trumped up allegation meant to stir up and confuse the masses. It's overt propaganda, and yet the mouthpiece has been oddly overlooked over the weekend.

Mark Levin: where in the HELL did you come up with the Obama wiretap story?

If Trump AND Pence AND Ryan AND McConnell are implicated in Putingate

And there is demonstrable evidence that votes were manipulated that may have swung the election to tRump...

...is there any chance that the election be overturned, and the rightful President of the United States be sworn in?

Constitutionally, I know there's nothing that would permit it...but this is certainly an extra-Constitutional matter that would require interpretation and extrapolation by the Supreme Court.

I know it's wishful thinking...but I pray for a day that I wake up and Madam President restores honor and integrity to the United States.

We know Trump & Co. are tarnished by their Russian connections

Time will tell to what extent and to what eventual outcome.

But what about the Republicans in Congress? McConnell? Ryan? Chaffetz?

How deep will this go?

And what happens if dozens of Republicans in Congress are implicated? How in the world can this all be rooted out?

So THIS is the media that we go to battle with against Comrade Trump?

The media that continues to get its collective ass handed to itself by the Felon in Chief, only to fawn on him after yet another scripted speech full of lies and distortions?

I'm losing confidence in the so-called "other shoe dropping". It would take a sustained and concerted effort by the media to sort out the labyrinthine circumstances that would prove Trump's complicity in Putingate.

These guys seem more prone to deifying Trump than holding him accountable for throwing an election.
