Ouch.

I wonder what the chances are of Trump finally admitting he was wrong, and doing the honorable thing by apologizing to Obama.

Unlikely. I base my opinion on the only existing historical precedent for him apologizing, which was after he bragged about committing sexual assault. The difference between today and then is that after the bus audio came out, his supporters did not actually support the rightness of his comments. They may have dismissed them as irrelevant, but they didn't think he was right. Today there are more than enough of his supporters who believe that Trump was right to accuse Obama (and now British intelligence) of wiretapping him, so since he has that support it doesn't seem likely he'll apologize.

Comey confirms FBI investigating Russia, Trump ties

FBI Chief James Comey said publicly for the first time Monday that his agency is investigating alleged links between Russia and the Trump campaign and whether any crimes may have been committed during last year's election campaign.

"That includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts," Comey said in his opening statement to a dramatic hearing before the House Intelligence Committee.​

But I'm sure this is less important than if he found Hillary emailed anyone else on the planet.

Wait, so he confirms they are looking at it, for how long, and what did they find thus far?

Notice how the Clinton Foundation all but dried up after the election. I guess charity is only important during campaigns. That was the biggest money laundering machine the world has ever seen, and that's why that private server was so damned important.

Meanwhile, there isn't a stitch of evidence yet of Russian collusion. Because the whole liberal crybaby accusation is stupid.

You lost, snowflakes. Get over it and grow up.

Not a good deflection. Trump is much better at that.
And the OP is not about the Foundation

I don't think we will get a lot of details today. Just confirming the inquiry is highly unusual.

You are kidding, right? You must be. The Left fawned over him, then hated him, Now they are the sheep who will be fawning over him once again. Your ilk did the very thing you are pre-accusing trump supporters of.

lol

Yes, the right was much more consistent. They hated him when he refused to file charges against Clinton; adored him when he said there might be more to look at in Weiner's emails; and hated him again when the FBI leaked some details.

So far the details of that investigation are closed shut. They're classified to hell and back.

Not kidding at all. Trump supporters, including you, are incapable of saying the truth about the man. I couldn't care less what the "Left" did. And to be clear here, since you're confused:

1. I'm not on the "left" and never was.
2. I never fawned over Comey.

Where is that coming from? I'm not watching the testimony, but afaik Comey didn't say when the FBI started various stages of the investigation.

See, this is one great reason why we need to defund NPR..... Are they seriously making the argument that "red herring" fallacy is actually a Russian Propaganda tactic? This is a lame #fakenews attempt to link Trump to Russia. Why do you guys fall for this actual propaganda so easily?

Comey: "There is currently an investigation into Russia's interference of America's elections and any involvement with the Trump Campaign."
Democrats: "How do we make this about Russia? Hmmmmm."

They are pointing out that Trump uses an authoritarian tactic. There is no "propaganda" in the article.

"Red herrings" are a different tactic with a different aim (distract), and the term wasn't even used in that article.

Comey and Rogers said that Obama can't order a "wiretap" on his own, but they won't confirm or deny that there was a FISA warrant issued.
Just an FYI.

Pretty sure nobody denied that.

1. You fall for the anti-trump propaganda, swallow it hole, without a second thought, you might as well be.
2. which clouds your objectivity when discussing him. Makes you post stupid things like I am a trump supporter. I didn't vote for him, I wouldn't vote for him. I Like some of what he is doing, I don't like a lot of what he is doing. But I think for myself and laugh at the stupid **** people post about him because their democrat overlords tell them so.

It is absolutely a red herring fallacy. They are "pointing out" that trump uses "evil russian tactic to trick american fools". As if the russians invented, and are the only ones to use "but that guy is worse".

Don't you think if I spent 5 minutes on the search here I could pull up your ilk, doing this very same thing?
