LL let's have a bit of dialogue, shall we? I'd really like to have a back and forth banter on this one topic so I'll leave an appropriate window of time for your response. I am going to take the liberty of inferring that the tweets on Twitter from President Trump that have you in a spot of bother are the ones relating to the President accusing the former president of electronically tapping his phones and servers and those of his campaign?

If we can stipulate to the above premise can you;

1) articulate just exactly what (HINT in " ") "trap" President Trump set for obama and the Main Stream Media, rather masterfully and insidiously I might add, by positing the allegation that obama, and by proxy, his Department of Justice through Attorney General Lynch, authorized those taps and;

2) if the answer to question #1 is the non-existence of obama and DOJ AG Lynch authorized wiretaps (as the left stream media is now trying to hint at), then;

3) what is the implication for the Russian hacking the election and Russian/Trump ties narrative within the Main Stream Media, but MORE IMPORTANTLY for the obama and Democrat/Progressive (Communist) combine?  

I eagerly await your response sighted toward the goal of mutual discourse and critical thinking!

these are great points. how does someone accuse trump of colluding with russians without listening in on his or his surrogates' phone calls? i have no problem with this point being made. i do have a problem with the manner in which president trump makes these accusations in his attempt to single out obama (very affectionately referred to as "osama" at times in this thread).

the entirety the doj's operations are not always made aware to the president (see: watergate). it would have been a much more powerful accusation if president trump pointed directly at the doj instead of trying to vilify obama. 

i have a feeling this congressional inquiry will lead to a dead end and will end up being a waste of tax dollars. our tax dollars are paying for this political theater - well except for trump because the donald doesn't pay taxes.

Mr dubs can you take a crack at putting forth the outline for the scenario that I have submitted, in lieu of LL's inability to do so? Specifically, LL referred to President Trumps Twitter bombs regarding obama AND BY PROXY, his DOJ (Loretta Lynch)? I'm asking to apply some critical thinking and offer up reason WHY the President tweeted that SPECIFIC allegation? He, (Trump) has painted a masterpiece in which the background will ultimately be filled in. 

FBI Director James Comey has made no such public statements that I can find. What is available are media/news reports, stating that Comey has asked the DOJ/Attorney General to push back on the President's allegations. So in all probability until Director Comey makes a public statement himself I will look upon this as unsubstantiated and fake news. Even IF he makes a statement as such, it is much ado about nothing and merely an attempt to deflect attention from the illegal wiretapping issue. If one were to accept Comey's pushback statement against Trump tweets, wouldn't one also have to accept the hypocrisy of Director Comey for not making commentary on a specific case (Russian Hacking) as was just his position when Reince Preibus asked him, as Director of FBI, to come clean and set the record straight about the Russian issue having no basis in fact or evidence. (This was after the Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe told Preibus the allegations to Trump/Russian ties were BS).

As for Trump filing taxes I'll agree with that particular criticism of the President, when the former President unseals his college transcripts/records, quid pro quo!
