Quote:

Trump has directed his aides to investigate employees across the federal government, with a particular focus on holdovers from the Obama administration and career intelligence officers, who Trump believes are trying to sabotage him.

Trump was incensed over Sessions’ decision to recuse himself from the Russia probe in the wake of The Washington Post’s report that he had met twice with the Russian ambassador, which he did not disclose during his Senate confirmation hearing.

In the Oval Office on Friday morning, Trump fumed at his senior staff about the Sessions situation and told them that he disagreed with the attorney general’s move, according to senior White House officials.

Trump told aides that he thought the White House and Justice Department should have done more to counter the argument that Sessions needed to step away. He said he wanted to see his staff fight back against what he saw as a widespread effort to destabilize his presidency, the officials said.

I wonder if Trump is unaware of the influence Russia has on his administration. It's possible that he is being used by the likes of Bannon and Kushner.

The Atlantic: 'Neither the White House Nor the President Will Comment Further' A day after the Trump charges “Nixon/Watergate” level misconduct by his predecessor, the administration says it will provide no evidence to substantiate his claims.

Just because a party feels it's righteous in labeling and branding people with slurs they made up, doesn't make them so - in fact they do it to force their ideology on others.
For the most part liberals tout themselves enlightened and virtuous and regard most everyone else as ignorant scum, whilst they riot, pillage and make death threats etc. This bothers me.

If you expect others to answer for 'parties' then be prepared to be held accountable for the same, or is it only unfair to hold you responsible for others actions?

If you're so insecure about being accurately labelled in a certain way, you'll need to consider why that is or grow a thicker skin. You're trying to impose your own standards of political correctness by complaining it's unfair to call a spade a spade.

Trump is asking congress to investigate whether Obama abused executive authority during the election as part of their Russia investigation which we already

it has basically been confirmed that there was wiretapping of Trump Tower but Obama officials are giving the lawyerly answer of saying "The president did not order it" which I think everybody knows is nonsense. These officials have been confirmed liars, James Clapper lied in front of congress and said that the NSA wasn't bulk collecting data on Americans and now we're suppose to believe him? Obama's use of the NSA was absolutely criminal, by all appearances he used it to target his political opponents but Obama is still trying to claim he didn't spy on anyone.

Can I make a bold prediction here that Trump supporters are going to claim Obama did it, and those that don't like Trump will say it's bulls**t?

This is nearly as bold as your previous prediction that the sun would continue to rise in the morning and set in the evening. :lol:

Conservatives are not well placed to say that.

How so?
Conservatives generally believe
Freedom of speech --> Yes, please
On health care --> get the government out of it
On education --> get the government out of it
On regulation --> get the government out of it
On taxes --> Less, please
On shrinking government ---> Yes, please
On minimum wage --> get the government out of it
On legal immigration -->yes, please
On LGBT --> no special regulations please (should be OK to discriminate)
On hate crimes --> no special regulations please (reason for crime should not matter)
ON abortion --> life comes before legal rights

Things like censoring books against what they consider "family values" or showing how cruel real life really is. http://www.ala.org/bbooks/sites/ala.org.bbooks/files/content/2015BannedList.pdf

Or being in the idea that the only "correct" lifestyle is a man and a woman with kids in a house.

Being against everything that is from other cultures.

The "keep politics out of games" of gamergate to the point of threats of rape and death simply because some women express their political opinions talking about video games.

Going against Dungeon and Dragons because it contain demons and saying that game lead to satanism. (Even though demons are defined as evil in the game)

Going against Harry Potter because, they say, it lead to witchcraft.

And so on

These people sound like modern liberals.

Liberals use government (laws) to control the individual, while conservatives put the individual first.

Putting the individual first means that it's OK express racist, sexist, anti-LGBT viewpoints.

And yet conservatives are eager to deny rights to LGBT Americans, and have never been friendly to civil rights. So it depends on which individuals you're talking about.
By the way, D&D is not Satanic, and Harry Potter is not the tome of the Devil, despite what the religious right, which has been co-opted into the Republican party, try to make the rest of you conservatives believe.

Washington Post: FBI Director Comey asked Justice officials to refute Trump’s unproved wiretapping claim

Quote:

FBI Director James B. Comey asked the Justice Department this weekend to issue a statement refuting President Trump’s claim that President Barack Obama ordered a wiretap of Trump’s phones before the election, according a U.S. official, but the department has not done so.

Comey made the request on Saturday after Trump accused Obama on Twitter of having his “‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower."
...
The development came as Trump's charge against Obama -- leveled without any evidence -- was being rebuffed both inside and outside of the executive branch. And it drew a blunt, on-the-record denial by a top intelligence official who served in the Obama administration.

So the FBI director just called the president a liar. I can't wait for Trump's response.
