Comey Attacks Trump Over Obviously True Wiretap Claims

Shockingly – somewhat shockingly – James Comey has come out and said Trump’s obviously true statements about Obama wiretapping him are untrue.

How totally inappropriate.

New York Times:

The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trump’s assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trump’s phones, senior American officials said on Sunday. Mr. Comey has argued that the highly charged claim is false and must be corrected, they said, but the department has not released any such statement.

Mr. Comey, who made the request on Saturday after Mr. Trump leveled his allegation on Twitter, has been working to get the Justice Department to knock down the claim because it falsely insinuates that the F.B.I. broke the law, the officials said.

A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment. Sarah Isgur Flores, the spokeswoman for the Justice Department, also declined to comment.

Mr. Comey’s request is a remarkable rebuke of a sitting president, putting the nation’s top law enforcement official in the position of questioning Mr. Trump’s truthfulness. The confrontation between the two is the most serious consequence of Mr. Trump’s weekend Twitter outburst, and it underscores the dangers of what the president and his aides have unleashed by accusing the former president of a conspiracy to undermine Mr. Trump’s young administration.

The White House showed no indication that it would back down from Mr. Trump’s claims. On Sunday, the president demanded a congressional inquiry into whether Mr. Obama had abused the power of federal law enforcement agencies before the 2016 presidential election. In a statement from his spokesman, Mr. Trump called “reports” about the wiretapping “very troubling” and said Congress should examine them as part of its investigations into Russia’s meddling in the election.

In addition to being concerned about potential attacks on the bureau’s credibility, senior F.B.I. officials are said to be worried that the notion of a court-approved wiretap will raise the public’s expectations that the federal authorities have significant evidence implicating the Trump campaign in colluding with Russia’s efforts to disrupt the presidential election.

Mr. Comey has not been dealing directly with Attorney General Jeff Sessions on the matter, as Mr. Sessions announced on Thursday that he would recuse himself from any investigation of Russia’s efforts to influence the election. It had been revealed on Wednesday that Mr. Sessions had misled Congress about his meetings with the Russian ambassador during the campaign.

It is not clear why Mr. Comey did not issue a statement himself. He is the most senior law enforcement official who was kept on the job as the Obama administration gave way to the Trump administration. And while the Justice Department applies for intelligence-gathering warrants, the F.B.I. keeps its own records and is in a position to know whether Mr. Trump’s claims are true. While intelligence officials do not normally discuss the existence or nonexistence of surveillance warrants, no law prevents Mr. Comey from issuing the statement.

In his demand for a congressional inquiry, the president, through his press secretary, Sean Spicer, issued a statement on Sunday that said, “President Donald J. Trump 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.”

Mr. Spicer, who repeated the entire statement in a series of Twitter posts, added that “neither the White House nor the president will comment further until such oversight is conducted.”

Not good, not normal.

Trump needs total authoritarian control of his people in the government. He’s the one that appointed Comey, or rather let him keep his position. Comey should be serving him.

Although… I’m not 100% sure this isn’t all part of the plan.

The plan is at a stage right now where I’m having a hard time visualizing it. But we all know that there is a plan. It is impossible to know if moves by the left or by someone like Comey are part of that plan. But the Tweets accusing Obama were thought through, and the results of these, if seemingly predictable – as Comey’s statements seem to be – are then presumably part of the plan.

Meanwhile…

CNN is spying on Trump through his window like a bunch of peeping perverts and recorded some yelling involving Trump, Bannon and others.

Not sure if this is part of the plan or not.

They say the argument is about Sessions recusing, which I have said probably was not part of the plan, as it just doesn’t make any sense on any level that I can see.

But again – who knows.

I don’t know.

I strongly advised against the recusal. And I still think, from this vantage point, it was a bad deal.

But I trust in Trump and I trust in Bannon.

We just have to be here to support them.

Here is Mark Levin laying out the evidence for the Obama wiretap conspiracy.

This is real.

It is real.

And the truth will out.
