Sen. McCain demands Trump retract wiretapping accusations or provide evidence to public

[CaliCat 3,957]

It is an alternate reality world when McCain has become the voice of common sense inside the GOP...

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Sunday demanded that President Trump either retract his explosive — and still unproven — claim that former President Barack Obama illegally wiretapped Trump Tower or provide whatever evidence he has to back up the so-far baseless accusation.

"President Trump has to provide the American people, not just the intelligence community, but the American people, with evidence that his predecessor, former President of the Unites States was guilty of breaking the law," McCain said on CNN's "State of the Union."

"The President of the United States could clear this up in a minute," McCain added. "All he has to do is pick up the phone, call the director of the CIA, director of national intelligence and say, 'OK, what happened?' Because they certainly should know whether the former President of the United States was wiretapping Trump Tower."

I agree completely. Even the staunchest Trump supporter should be demanding answers, unless they don't mind being treated like lemmings.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, how the so-called president will make up some excuse, and how his supporters will eat it up by the spoonful.

It's almost 4pm in the east coast and so far the so-called president didn't produce any evidence to support his claim. Trump can now add libel to his ever expanding resume of absurdities.

The truly pathetic thing is that this bizarre accusation is all part of the Trump Show. There is no defending this sort of baseless flailing about that Trump does over and over again, yet he still has a cadre of gullible fans that will still try. All attempts to correct them will be labelled as much ado about nothing but this abhorrent behavioral propensity of Trumps is really very concerning. The man isn't right in the head.

Sean Spicer has announced that Trump meant "wire tapping" in the very "broad" definition of the term.

 

So by wires he possibly meant that Obama used a phone

By "Tapping" he possibly meant Obama called him once or twice.

 

So in the end Trump was really just complaining that Obama called him on the phone. That was all. Nothing to see here. Carry on.

 

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that is the excuse that they come up with down the line when it is obvious he was "tweeting out of his a&&"

Give em a break..they are trying to juggle things and they still have to get the data on the election fraud.  And they are down several A.G.s.  They run very lean to save the taxpayers money. 

 

White House press secretary Sean Spicer maintained Monday that President Donald Trump still believes that millions of people voted illegally during a press conference Monday.

The comment came after Spicer said “of course” the public can believe everything Trump says, “if he’s not joking.”

"Every time that he speaks authoritatively, he speaks – he's speaking as President of the United States," Spicer said of Trump's credibility.

“More than 3 million Americans voted illegally. Was he joking or does he still believe that?” NBC's Peter Alexander asked.

“Yes, and he still believes that. He does believe it," Spicer replied.

Though Trump called for a probe into voter fraud in late January after his initial claim of millions of illegal votes, the panel to pursue that probe still hasn’t come together. Civil rights leaders recently asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions to advise against the effort.

LOL. They are trying to make it up as they go. The deadline came and went. They have nothing but libel in their hands. 

 

I also believe that millions voted illegally in the past elections. How else would Trump have won?

Yes, THAT John, the one you despise, has become the voice of reason for his party. I am sure in an alternate fact reality you didn't vote for him.
