SHOULD OBAMA FACE JAIL-TIME FOR ILLEGALLY WIRETAPPING TRUMP?



The Department of Justice has acknowledged in a court filing no evidence of any wiretaps on Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign, directly contradicting a claim President Trump made in March. The Justice Department filed a motion Friday evening acknowledging that it didn’t have any evidence to back up the president’s assertion.


The motion was filed in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from the transparency group American Oversight. It found that neither the National Security Division or the FBI had any records of wiretapping that President Trump alleged.


“The FBI and Department of Justice have now sided with former [FBI Director James] Comey and confirmed in writing that President Trump lied when he tweeted that former President Obama ‘wiretapped’ him at Trump Tower,” the group said.


President Trump tweeted on March 4 that he “just found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!”



I’d bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017 Former FBI Director James Comey, who Trump fired in May, testified before Congress that the FBI did not wiretap Trump Tower during the campaign.

“Neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen,” spokesman Kevin Lewis said in response to the initial tweets.


The White House has responded that Trump was referring to surveillance in general and the White House has pointed to reports that indicate there were surveillance efforts against Trump before he took office. DOJ noted in the motion that FBI and the DOJ can’t “confirm or deny the existence of any other responsive records” beyond the wiretaps.


The DOJ also noted it neither confirms nor denies the existence of other records related to the “wiretap” portion of the lawsuit because “merely acknowledging whether or not responsive records exist would itself cause harms protected against by FOIA exemptions.”

Actor Clint Eastwood Makes Massive Announcement: “Hollywood Is The Place Of Traitors And Pedophilians, This Morning I’ve Decided To Leave This Awful Place And Fight Against Traitors With Real American Patriots With President Trump.” Do You Stand With Clint ? Legendary actor and film director Clint Eastwood told a crowd at the Cannes Film Festival Sunday that political correctness is killing the entertainment industry. The Western film icon, who was visiting the festival in southern France for a 25th anniversary screening of his 1992 film “Unforgiven,” said America’s obsession with political correctness started around the time of the release of his 1971 movie “Dirty Harry,” to The Hollywood Reporter. “It was far-out at that time, so I brought it to [director] Don [Siegel], and he liked it,” Mr. Eastwood said. “A lot of people thought it was politically incorrect. That was at the beginning of the era that we’re in now with political correctness. We are killing our...

RIGHT AS MIKE PENCE’S SON GETS MARRIED, DEMOCRAT DOES SOMETHING TOTALLY UNHINGED

Democrats are so negative they try to ruin everything and make it about them. Vice President Mike Pence’s son Marine Corps. Second Lt. Michael Pence planned a marriage ceremony to Sarah Whiteside on Saturday and one Democrat activist and local school board member could not handle it. Sue Wazner took to Facebook on Wednesday to complain about the ceremony, which was to take place in a local Indiana park, saying it would disrupt regular park operations. She posted: The bizarre, mean-spirited post had no basis in reality. The ceremony was to be extremely small and private, and the park’s property manager stated: “The fact that the vice president will be here will not impact our regular visitors.” Michael Pence and Sarah Whiteside were married in December of last year during a legal ceremony, which would accommodate the marine’s travel schedule. The event Saturday will be a ceremonial celebration of their nuptials. Mike Pence’s daughter, Charlotte Pence, posted...

Actor Keanu Reeves: “For Me Trump Is The Symbol Of A Successful Man And A Role Model For Every Young American, Something That Our Nation Was Looking For Years.I Don’t Think That America Will Again Have A Leader Like Him,”Do You Support Him? When Keanu Reeves was filming Speed, in 1993, he spent every spare minute learning lines in his trailer. These lines weren’t from the film he was working on – as Jack Traven, the SWAT officer who takes control of a bomb-laden bus, Reeves didn’t have a great deal to say – but from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, a well-thumbed copy of which he would carry around on set. His day job was zooming through Los Angeles with a flustered Sandra Bullock and a coachload of screaming extras. Monologuing as the tragic Prince of Denmark, on the other hand, was me-time. “I finished playing Jack, went into the trailer, and, you know – ‘How all occasions do inform against me,/ And spur my dull revenge’,” he says, reeling off the opening few lin...
