Remember Trump claiming Obama wire tapped Trump Tower--hmm I think the FBI might have a tape

FBI might have incidentally caught Trump criminally conspiring with Russians or Russian agents that were coming and going at Trump Tower. The wire tap was probably to catch the suspected Russian agents (Flynn and Carter Page), who were coming and going at Trump Tower, and may have caught Trump on it. That is probably why Trump was originally protesting loudly he was wire tapped by Obama--knowing that he may be in deep doo doo. My educated guess.

and as much as we might want leaks to know what is happening, that thought puts a smile on my face.

I could look forward to the movie. Right now, I'm just scared.

I do take comfort in the occasional good news. And, I'm grateful to the patriots who are fighting for our democracy. I hope the movie makes their names famous for all time.

This is about the survival of our democracy and our way of life. It might be about the literal survival of the entire planet. Go watch Star Wars or something like that if you want a movie.

p.s. Read the book first. The book is always better than the movie.

rather than what is happening. These last two years have almost killed me, the stress. I long for the future movie where the stories of today's heroes are told.

If it turns out badly, obviously, I'm not looking forward to a hellscape future.

Did you even read my post? So thoughtless.

Why don't we start by not taking shots at people who make earnest posts about how scary this is. What do you think?

Of course, they were listening to Page and Flynn & maybe others. A 1 Hop trace means they can listen to the target. A 2 hop means they can listen to anyone the target talk/ corresponds with. A 3 Hop is adding anyone the 2Hop targets talk to, etc., etc., etc..

Trump lied about Obama wire tapping him because it was expedient in the moment (like most of Trump's lies) and because Trump didn't then and doesn't now know how the FBI works (which is to say that it's NOT the president's personal detective agency).
