So, what’s German for “Kindly leave me the hell out of this, Mr. President!”? :p

“Bitte lass mich die Hölle aus, Herr Präsident”

Please leave me the hell, Mr President (translated)

Why do you want “the hell”?

Press Briefing … a must watch no matter which side you support.

Here are his tweets:

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

Is it legal for a sitting President to be “wire tapping” a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!

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!

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

Clearly Trump thought that wiretapping meant phone surveillance since he accuses Obama of just that in his two later tweets. As such I can only assume that Sean Spicer is lying through his teeth when he tries to misconstrue the president’s statements.

This is all fine and dandy but Trump is not the only Government official to make this claim.

Also, Trump comes from a different era, he is not as tech saavy as some seem to expect him to be.

I am not suggesting that the wiretapping did or did not happen, since there is no evidence to support it. I wouldn’t be surprised if his communications were recorded by the phone companies, and if he was suspected of acting as an agent to a foreign power then the government could easily have gotten a FISC warrant for those communications. His claim isn’t outlandish in that it is possible for such a wiretap to happen.

But he very clearly got the idea in his head because of news sources with no evidence of their own, and accused the previous president of personally ordering the wiretap while he was campaigning for the office. He then further said that Obama was either sick or a bad guy (it’s hard to keep a straight face while reproducing Trump’s childish name-calling). It is disturbing because it is very clearly a bit of early morning gossip-fueled paranoia broadcast to the entire world.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Actually, from everything I read, this was fueled by the Flynn incident. The Flynn incident began while Obama was still in office. There were transcripts provided of the intercepted call. Same with Sessions from what I gather. I also remember Trey Gowdy speaking about Congress members having their personnel files quietly gone through by the FBI without their knowledge during Obama’s time within the past year as well soooooooooo … it’s scary business considering Obama changed the rules by which the intelligence community plays.

I think this is the fifth story in the past year or two I’ve read about the Secret Service’s incompetence.

Were you including this one?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/17/politics/white-house-fence-jumper/

The Secret Service acknowledged Friday afternoon that the man who breached White House security last week was on the grounds for more than 15 minutes.

The statement from the Secret Service came after a source told CNN earlier Friday about the length of the incident and the agency’s resulting investigation.

In its statement Friday afternoon, the Secret Service offered some information about the incident and said the “investigation is ongoing,” so far including more than 50 interviews and a review of radio transmissions and video footage.

The review found that the intruder climbed a five-foot fence and an eight-foot gate and then hopped a three-and-a-half foot fence while Secret Service members struggled to locate him.

House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Friday that the intruder even managed to rattle a door handle at the South Portico entrance to the White House, although he did not make it inside.

At first, I was going to say yes, but then I realized this is another jumper.
