Sure. Particularly since the Intel community <a href=\"http:\/\/observer.com\/2017\/02\/donald-trump-administration-mike-flynn-russian-embassy\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">regards Trump as a Russian mole<\/a> and it was the President\u2019s job, up till 1\/20\/17, to protect the US from treasonous crooks like Trump. <\/p>\nThe point is that Trump offers these crazy dumps without evidence and without context, precisely because he is a crook and a con man trying to distract from the fact that he is massively compromised. And \u201cprolife\u201d Christians are now totally committed to defending this fraud. In the end, it basically comes down to this:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n^^^ Either <\/p>\n\u2013 Obama did something illegal.<\/p>\n\u2013 A warrant was issued by a court LEGALLY indicating probable cause.<\/p>\n\u2013 Trump is in fact mad.<\/p>\n\u2014 J\u039eS\u0166\u039eR \u272a \u0394C\u0166UAL\u00b3\u00b3\u00ba\u00b9 (@th3j35t3r) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/th3j35t3r\/status\/838059004827996164\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">March 4, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\nSo, Mr. President, cough up the evidence that anything illegal was done. Or shut up.<\/p>\nPS: Nicholas Kristof sums things up nicely:<\/p>\n<blockquote>President Trump has just posted a series of extraordinary tweets accusing President Obama of illegally wiretapping his phones and spying on him. The tweets seem to originate from an article he read on Breitbart. A few thoughts: 1.) The president seems to be admitting that he was the personal target of a government investigation into whether he was colluding with a hostile power; 2.) There\u2019s no illegality by the Obama administration, since any wiretaps were approved by FISA courts, or conversations were picked up by SIGINT collection; Trump should know that presidents can\u2019t just order wiretaps on their own. 3.)The President has access to information collected by professionals at 17 intelligence agencies, and instead he turns to nuts at Breitbart? 4.) He seems worryingly unstable. 5.) More than ever, we need an independent 9\/11-style commission to investigate the ties between the Trump team and the Kremlin, for we can\u2019t have this cloud having over us for years; 6.) Defense Secretary Mattis, if you\u2019re reading this, please send SEAL Team Six into the White House to seize any device that our President can use for tweeting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2026instead of the unborn or the gospel.
