4. Trump's meme is being b_tchslapped all over the place...

not by partisan statements. But by clear, unequivocal repeated statements that there is no information whatsoever to support Trump's tweets, including the ridiculous we got Britain to do it meme.

They've also made clear there is no evidence their agencies (the NSA and the FBI and the DOJ) were even ASKED to wiretap Trump. And to do so would have been illegal. It takes all three depts to authorize wiretapping on a citizen, including a court to approve it.

It's against international law to get another country to do wiretapping for you.

NO PRESIDENT can wiretap anyone. It takes all three agencies and is a rigorous procedure requiring probable cause.

But it IS true that RUSSIA DID IN FACT INTERFERE WITH THE ELECTION through cyberhacking the Democrats, and there is an ongoing investigation about communications between Russia and the Trump team, and that intelligence agencies will go WHEREVER their investigation leads.
