James Clapper was on the Meet the Press this morning and he said
(1) during the investigation into the Trump campaign and Russian influence during his tenure, there was NO EVIDENCE of any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. and
(2) Obama did not request a wiretap on Trump at any time. Did not happen. Flat no, did not happen, and he would have absolutely been told.
I take back any cautious optimism I've had that this President will be okay at leading the country. By starting this conflagration based on gum flapping by some conservative radio show hosts reported on Breitbart, with no evidence, Trump has shown he has no intention of calming down and uniting this country. None at all.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer released a statement that offered no evidence, instead saying the White House wouldn't comment until Congress had investigated his claims. The president "is requesting that as part of their investigation into Russian activity, the congressional intelligence committees exercise their oversight authority to determine whether executive branch investigative powers were abused in 2016," the statement said...
Spicer said the White House would not comment again until Congress had investigated the matter.
White House asks Congress to probe whether Obama abused powers
We all know how long that will take and how much blood loss there will be before it's over. And it will find what we already know--that in the investigation into Russian interference with the election, a connection between a server in Trump Tower and a Russian bank was "tapped" and NO EVIDENCE of any wrong doing was found. That was months before the election and was reported at the time. It had nothing to do with Obama or the White House.
"Unnamed" white house officials say Trump is fuming that the Russian stuff (and especially Sessions recusing himself) is not going away. He's "furious," some say. This is how Trump shows his displeasure, apparently, by ripping the country apart some more.
