Sounds a bit thin to me and criminal defamation is not well defined in US law!
Of course the Democrats could try; anyway the history is in the US the majority of impeachment investigations have failed. | | | | | Would be antidemocratic to impeach the president for being vocal against possible coalition between a government agency and a political party during a presidential race..... not to mention all this "Russia-Trump" nonsense that the left keeps vomiting...... who is being investigated for that?

Just a small sample (Reuters, Washington Post, NPR, Time) but representative. Happy reading! P.S. I would hardly call the FBI Director, James Comey and the head of the National Security Agency, Mike Rogers, "left". Russian elite invested nearly $100 million in Trump buildings President Trump faces his hardest truth: He was wrong FBI Director Confirms Investigation Into Trump-Russia Links Donald Trump's Many, Many, Many, Many Ties to Russia | The following 4 users would like to thank BokerTov for this useful post: | |

"the left keeps vomiting" The FBI & NSA are liberals, who knew?
"against possible coalition between a government agency..." No he did not, he simply accused Obama of a specific crime.
Trump never used the word coalition and did not mention any Govt. agency and did not mention a political party; he accused Obama directly.
Trumps lies are serious enough without you adding more lies to the mess!

Trumps lies are serious enough without you adding more lies to the mess! | | | | | I have not heard once anyone from the FBI or the NSA say that Donald Trump is a puppet of Putin........ but i did hear it from the left(mainstream media).
What was that specific crime? because "wiretap" with quotation marks can be a plethora of different methods to monitor someone. And if Obama really did that in order to help Hillary Clinton then he was using millions of dollars of tax payers money to abuse the privacy of a person who she happens to run against. Do you understand how serious that accusation is?
And since you took the accusations that were made against Le Pen seriously(even tho there is a considerable amount of reasons not to) i am surprised that you do not consider the accusation of the current POTUS as valid(what i mean by this is, that you need to take into consideration the possible resources he might have).
In any case goodnight!
Do not underestimate Trump, he might be hotheaded and arrogant, but he is certainly not stupid.

"wiretap". Do you understand how serious that accusation is? | | | | | Zapping your reply to answer the two points above:
1. Regarding your first point - you are not going to hear that either, at least not until the investigation is concluded. Comey did talk about "counterintelligence" with respect to Trump & Co, which, in FBI-speak, is "busting the spies/bad guys".
2. The FBI did say in no uncertain terms there is absolutely no evidence at all of any wiretapping of Donald Trump & Co. by former President Obama, or Hilary, or "the left", or the Spaghetti Monster. I think President Trump making this unfounded accusation (e.g. blatant lie) speaks volumes about him.
Liar, liar, pants on fire!!!

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | So now Trump is celebrating that Fox news said only 43 percent of voters approved of the job the president was doing 
Big burst of Trump tweets this morning; seems to be panicking  | | | | | Lol, so now he is "panicking", i like it, build yourself up for the impending dissapointment.....
Btw i prefer balance, being a nationalist to the point of believing that other nationalities are inferior, is obviously a very ignorant and entitled stancw to take.
But being a anti-nationalist to me just seems self loathing and hypocritical.

Liar, liar, pants on fire!!! | | | | | I believe i read that their answer to Trump was "No president can order a wiretap".......that IS uncertain terms.
I just hope that they are able to find evidence of spaghetti monster interference in favor of Trump, and i hope they are able to restore the cellphones that Hillary smashed with that hammer.

Name me one CNN pundit who is not a race-baiter... Name me one who is openly against antifa...
Not only do they control the Mainstream media at the moment, but they are beginning to infiltrate the videogame industry for example look at Manveer Heir who is a racist and an apologist for the left.
I previously thought that Van Jones was one of the more leftist ones.... but atleast he invites alternative ideas without interrupting... and his street interview by an info wars Surrogate was really funny.... BTW he is so far the only CNN pundit who has, atleast reluctantly, complimented some of Trumps actions.
It is a shame that Comey once again decides to save Hillary, Comey should resign soon... the faster we can prosecute Hillary the better.

Do you understand how serious that accusation is? | | | | | The entire point is that everyone understands how serious an accusation that is! It doesn't matter who you believe, everyone had a WTF?!! moment when that allegation was made. | Quote: | |  | | | But being a anti-nationalist to me just seems self loathing and hypocritical. | | | | | That all depends on what the nation's hierarchy are doing with their power.
People are people the World over, and many people are more catholic (in the non-religious sense of the word) in their approach. If people are being unduly attacked when they just want to be left in peace, we defend them. If an ally is being unduly attacked by an agressor, we defend them. But what about when our nation is unduly attacking an ally or neighbour? What then?
You see, when Trump made the allegation that Obama got GCHQ to spy on him, that was an attack on Obama and on the UK. It was one of those gobsmacking moments of misguided, sheer audacity against one of America's greatest allies. Before that point, I was prepared to give Trump a chance to grow into the role. I actually felt sorry for Trump that he was finding people close to the administration, whom he had placed his trust in, had misled him and/or Pence. That's not a good feeling in any realm of business or government. But once he made the allegation about GCHQ, the gloves were off as far as I'm concerned. He could think it, he could investigate it, but to publically broadcast it without one iota of solid, irrefutable evidence... Nah! Not happening!
There's a spin the bottle randomness to Trump's thinking that is very unsettling.

You wrote *I believe i read that their answer to Trump was "No president can order a wiretap""
Their answer included "With respect to the president’s tweets about Obama wiretapping him, Comey says:
I have no information that supports those tweets, and we have looked carefully inside the DoJ, DOJ has asked me to share with you that the answer is the same for the DoJ in all its components."
Do remember the DOJ is run by Trump's pick Ellison.

I don't think randomness exists - people perceive the info that reach them as random, or that they chose to intepret it that way. I wouldn't blame Trump for that, nor any other politician, nor media. We have info from sources we choose.

Wow, do Keep the charade going it is quite entertaining..... By the way saying that Obama cannot order a "wiretap" is not the same as denying any "wiretapping".... if Trumps privacy was indeed violated, it would be incredible that Obama or his Surrogates had nothing to do with it.

So Obama supposedly monitors Trump in the run up to the election, in some wire-tapping way which isn't wire-tapping that nobody is quite sure about.
He then apparently collects lots of information to help Clinton win.
But doesn't use it.

Maybe they found nothing useful? or maybe Trumps security team was able to prevent it? They still have only stated that "HOS cannot order a wiretap".
