A tip for Mr Trumphey marty your assholes were after hillary for 25 years ,,obama only 8 ,,we have a long long way to go with trump and his unamerican punks protecting him"A source says...". Well, there's a red flag. Add that to the fact that the story originated from NBC and you've got two major elements of another fake news story.
Poor Jim wakes up EVERY SINGLE DAY thinking: "Today is the day."
And more and more he approves of tactics that if used against Obama or Hillary would send him to the barricades.
So you think wiretapping their attorneys would be OK?

Thereās something extremely fishy about President Donald Trumpās tweets on Thursday morning about the source of the money his lawyer Michael Cohen paid to Stormy Daniels as part of a nondisclosure agreement.
Trump, echoing what his lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday night on Fox News, seems to be claiming that a $35,000 retainer he paid to Cohen on a monthly basis should be considered reimbursement. But a retainer isnāt reimbursement. A retainer is a fee for services. And a fee paid to a lawyer isnāt normally reimbursement unless there is some agreement saying it is.
According to what Giuliani said on the āHannityā show, Giuliani somehow realized what was really going on: Trump was actually reimbursing Cohen through payments āfunneledā through Cohenās law firm. āI said, āThatās how heās repaying it,āā Giuliani told Sean Hannity.
any day now.
