Surely if he did he would have got something worthwhile sharing?

"Biggest news story in years" about President Trump is rather like expecting a bus - there will be another one along in a minute.

lol Andy !

[Kromovaracun]

I do hope you're not suggesting the President has lied.

Not because he doesn't, of course, but because if you have then you'll soon be hearing from the tidal wave of ABers who fell they absolutely must bend over backwards to provide gushing support for the most powerful man in the world.

The news is the most entertaining thing on the telly at the moment. If there's a particular day when Corbyn isn't saying something stupid, then Trump is guaranteed to step up and fill the gap.

Trump urged to back up claims his phones were tapped by Obama :::::

Its put up or shut up time Donald !

[Samjenko]

From your own link, mikey; 'A "cardinal rule of the Obama Administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice", he said.'
So now there was a wire-tap but 'we' don't interfere.
Why would they. They just instigate it and if anything interesting, ie damaging, crops up, they just pass it to their fellow crooks in the media.
If Bush did this to Obama, you lot would be singing a very different tune.
And it would be No1 news story on the BBC for weeks, which is why I know it's true.

[mikey4444]

I repeat what I said earlier this morning. If Trump has any evidence, he should produce it with immediate effect.

As he hasn't done so yet, it would seem safe to presume that there is no evidence.

// You think he'd say that without proof? Interesting//

inevitable - if it is an alternative fact then it is 1) alternative and 2) true as the gospel of the Lord

along with riots in sweden - the supreme court is biased - and the no-go areas of Birmingham ( England ) no one wants to go anywahere in Brum ALabammy

[Sqad]

Seems a bit OTT by Trump........BUT.......if it is untrue, then this would be a good time for the Democrats (Obama) to sue Trump.

So......it may be watch this space.........or not.

[Peter Pedant]

Peter wright described monitoring Wilson and his gubmint in the sixties and I dont recollect the houses of parliament crashing when the book came out

Jack Straw ordered his surveillance file when he was a home secretary ....
In those days you needed a judges warrant

whereas now a police man can just form an intention .....

[Peter Pedant]

// Seems a bit OTT by Trump......

not - I think
how do you prove a negative ?
after you have insisted: "I didernt"

if trumpo is challenged he will say
" I'll tell you whaaat .... look people dont come out with transcripts - they just tell you - and it has to be true I read it on Farks Nooz "

[Peter Pedant]

// Surely if he did he would have got something worthwhile sharing?//

like Eevarnka's new word list ?
she is still learning English apparently

[Sqad]

PP...my knowledge of American Law is nil.....but if Obama sued Trump on the grounds of........scandalous accusations, then the onus would be on Trump to prove his accusations.
Not the other way about.
Or am I talking nonsense?

[Sqad]

^^^^ I think that i mean "slanderous."..........;-)

[mikey4444]

Morning Sqad....you very rarely talk nonsense !

The longer Trump leaves this accusation hanging in the air, the worse it will be for him. If he has evidence, then he would have shown it two days ago, as it would have been a good way to detract attention from his won dire state.

The fact that he hasn't produced the evidence, speaks volumes !

[Sqad]

Morning mikey.....yes I would agree, but I would have thought that this would have been the time to "put the boot in" that is if the accusations had no founding of course.

[mikey4444]

Sqad....there is a phrase that would seem to suit Trump rather well at the moment......give a man enough rope and he will surely hang himself with it.

He appears to be on a self destruct trajectory.

But something else is emerging here on AB...apart from one sole example, there is a lack of support from the usual Trump Glee Club here. I wonder why....perhaps he is fast becoming
indefensible ?

[Khandro]

//Yet another rant without any evidence from Trump..//

"another?" wasn't it the Democrats who were (and still are) "ranting" about Russia influencing the election result, without a scrap of evidence to substantiate the claim?

[Sqad]

Yes mikey...I agree again, but there comes a time when all that has to be said, is said and that now one needs to sit back and wait for the results.

[anneasquith]

Seems someone he have confiscated Trump's phone this AM :-)
