    What do you want? He's exerted himself with some all-caps rage tweets already, disputing objective facts. Time to relax a little.

    And multiple career professionals said there was very good reason to monitor the communications between Russian agents, Russian assets, and multiple members of the Trump campaign.

    Someone like Hannity or Roger Stone calls this criminal. The great majority of our career intelligence community, no matter their political preferences, calls it due diligence. People have to choose what makes sense to them. I can only shrug at this point. You say "spying," and lots of other people say "doing their job" to defend the USA. There has never been a candidate like Trump with so many compromised members of a campaign team with so many communications with a foreign adversary's agents and surrogates.

    I know this usually doesn't work, but I'll try again: if Obama had been doing this in 2008 with someone like Iran, would you have wanted the intelligence community to monitor it?

    Read this.

    Who is they that spied? They trump team members were caught up in the US counterintelligence operations. The WH was not involved.



    https://www.statesman.com/news/20200824/fact-check-did-obama-spy-on-trumprsquos-campaign-get-caught


    Our ruling

    Trump said Obama “spied on my campaign, and got caught!”

    Multiple independent investigations, including a series of bipartisan Senate reports, found no political influence over the FBI investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election. The FBI targeted four people with greater or lesser roles in the Trump campaign, but conducted that independently of the White House.

    We rate this claim False.

    No, not "LOL"; rather, this:

    BU-WA-HA-HA-HA, oh my God you're still on that AH-HA-HA (chortle wheeze) ah-hee, ah-hee, I can't breathe, I can't breathe, BU-WA-HA-HA...

    Frightening, but anything Trump says, they believe. "Ron Burgundy will read anything you put on that teleprompter. And when I say 'anything', I mean, A-NY-THING."

    He doesn’t believe anything he says. He likes using rhetoric in a similar way that Carlson does.

    He cannot rely upon any facts so he tries to lodge in his “gut” as some how being a valid indicator. He then tries to augment it by comparing it to a parents intuition.

    His argument is very effective for those that really really want to believe what he is saying, but it defies logic and purposely excludes facts that are known.

    It is disingenuous and he isn’t as convincing as he thinks.

    I think you fluffed it up too much. It’s a grown man being a little b****. Instead of being nice to him and trying “understand” “heal” etc this dangerous ideology needs to be denounced. He essentially being a dictator here, not trusting outcomes of a fair democratic election. There needs to be counter legal action and calling him and his supporters for what they are...lunatics

    yup its pretty crazy how everyone quick to look away and move on. i imagine how many nazi assimilated back quite quick after 1945.

    at same time these people would be happy with dictator last week AND this week.

    trump thankfully losing in court.
    this is why trump will walk and all all republican enabler friends forgotten they were acting like that.

    all getting a collective pass. biden moving on wants to "heal"

    Exactly, there’s a cancerous growth, it needs to be resected ..not dressed/covered up. The guy just lost and you have a giant MAGA parade with signs calling for blacks to be targeted. They refuse to wear masks and think this shot is a hoax. This is a black and white issue

    He would be, but someone decided to commute his sentence.
