TRUMP'S CLAIM THAT OBAMA WIRETAPPED HIS CAMPAIGN IS FALSE: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

In a stunning filing last night, the Department of Justice stated in a court case that neither the FBI nor its National Security Division ever wiretapped Trump Tower, contradicting a bombshell claim President Trump made in a series of early morning tweets on March 4.

The document is the first time the Department of Justice has officially denied the substance of the Tweets. Former FBI Director James Comey had already denied that the FBI ever wiretapped Trump.

“Both FBI and NSD confirm that they have no records related to wiretaps as described by the March 4, 2017 tweets.” the filing states.

The tweets were arguably the most incendiary the President had issued to date.

The statement came in a court filing Friday night in response to a Freedom of Information Act suit filed by the government watchdog group American Oversight, which had requested “Warrant applications or records requesting a court order to intercept communications related to candidate Donald Trump, Trump Tower, entities housed in Trump Tower, or any person affiliated with Mr. Trump’s campaign; court orders approving or rejecting those requests; records of those wiretaps, and; communications between the FBI or DOJ and Congress relating to these issues.”

In an email, White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders wrote: "This isn't news. We have already addressed it."

But the DOJ filing indicates that it is, in fact, news.

You should read what you C&P. It Merly states that the FBI and NSD denied doing it legally. It does not mean they didn't do wiretaps illegally.

YES,,,,,,FAKE He will probably ignore the facts as he usually does. and /or fabricates something new about Obama. He is pathologically OBSESSED with OBAMA. and has been since his crazy birth certificate issue that he blew up into an ISSUE. and FABRICATED by the Trump "mind" for his follower consumption.

Bit by bit he fabrications are being proven false but that maters little to his following. Kinda strange that false info is fact to them and real facts are fake. curious mindset.

He might not have much control over his germaphobia but his pathological lying and fabrication........is quite another matter. Not sure it is LYING in the true sense........but definitely FABRICATION......... of FALSE INFORMATION. He seems to need to create his own reality that fits he s preconceived ideas. that makes him delusional. He might have what is termed " encapsulated" delusions.

Regardless..... the consequences are that he has no credibility.

You realize this whole "debate" was launched by yet another shoot-from-the-lip accusation by Trump, right?

The amazing thing about it is that Trump's nonsense doesn't get him tossed. It seems to roll right off of his orange ducky back.

Mrs. Clinton is not the POTUS and that is the important message here.

Small important point:
Because if it ain't important it also hasn't been true.
Much like Hitlary's new book

Certainly makes the ORIGINAL story in the WAPO, MF's prize exhibit vault, false though.
More fake news for MFs collection.

He just completely destroyed the credibility of the source for half of his antiTrump threads
