When trump’s campaign was actively seeking help from the Russians, you didn’t need to spy. Just look at his actions. Can you say, meeting in trump tower?
Lyin’ Mike Lester. Trumpy used to claim the FBI was spying on him because he kept showing up on wiretaps of mobbed-up guys in the New York building trades. Now he claims his campaign was being spied on because guys like Paul Manafort and Don Jr kept showing up on wiretaps of Russian intelligence “assets.” He didn’t complain about Comrade Vladimir taping and videoing his every moment in Moscow. Gosh, Could there possibly be something on those recordings he is afraid of being released ?
The degree of gullibility that this shows, suggests strongly that Mr. Lester contributed a lot of his cartoonist’s “income” to Bannon’s ‘GoFundMe’ scam! Sad part, is that Lester thinks that GoComics’ readers believe his scam(s)!
“Trump campaign’s Russia contacts ‘grave’ threat, Senate says
The Trump campaign’s interactions with Russian intelligence services during the 2016 presidential election posed a “grave” counterintelligence threat, a Senate panel concluded Tuesday as it detailed how associates of Donald Trump had regular contact with Russians and expected to benefit from the Kremlin’s help.
The nearly 1,000-page report, the fifth and final one from the Republican-led Senate intelligence committee on the Russia investigation, details how Russia launched an aggressive effort to interfere in the election on Trump’s behalf. It says the Trump campaign chairman had regular contact with a Russian intelligence officer and that other Trump associates were eager to exploit the Kremlin’s aid, particularly by maximizing the impact of the disclosure of Democratic emails hacked by Russian intelligence officers.
The report is the culmination of a bipartisan probe that produced what the committee called “the most comprehensive description to date of Russia’s activities and the threat they posed.” The investigation spanned more than three years as the panel’s leaders said they wanted to thoroughly document the unprecedented attack on U.S. elections.
The findings, including unflinching characterizations of furtive interactions between Trump associates and Russian operatives, echo to a large degree those of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation and appear to repudiate the Republican president’s claims that the FBI had no basis to investigate whether his campaign was conspiring with Russia.
Trump, who has repeatedly called the Russia investigations a “hoax,” said Tuesday he “didn’t know anything about” the report, or Russia or Ukraine. He said he had “nothing” to do with Russia."
Poor guy is really getting desperate. Don’t worry Mike, Joe will make some innocent gaffe at some point, and you can blow it all out of proportion as is your wont.
Let me explain this to you Lester. The feds were not spying on trump, they were spying on the Russians. When trump’s campaign contacted the Russians, then trump’s minions were looked into.
Nobody has to jump on anything. Mr Lester, you have to at least show some viable evidence that it happened. Yes, agencies whose job it is to investigate crimes did in fact investigate the criminal activity rampant in the Trump campaign (and before you claim that there is no evidence for that, explain the growing number of Trump campaign workers that have been convicted and had to admit their crimes), but there is no evidence that anyone on the Obama team ordered it or even knew about it (unless, of course, you have some evidence you are withholding).

Shows the intelligence of past officials and their so-called “journalist”. They don’t know what to do if they can’t lie.

Anybody notice that Senate Russian election interference report?
Half a dozen Republican senators jumped on that grenade.

When your campaign regularly meets with Russian agents who are being tracked, that’s what happens.

Seriously Mike?
The burden of proof is on the claimant. The clown in the White House has never offered one shred of proof for his allegations.
Do you expect the news media to “prove” a negative, which is impossible?

You don’t have to jump on a “grenade” to prove Obama and Biden didn’t spy on the Trump campaign, you have only to jump onto the facts.

Lester, how much did you donate to “We Build the Wall”?
Are you going to donate to Bannon’s legal defense fund?
