Trump: Dem memo proves 'illegal' things were done

Source: The Hill




BY AVERY ANAPOL - 02/24/18 06:30 PM EST

President Trump on Saturday claimed that the House Intelligence Committee Democrats’ memo proves that the FBI and Justice Department committed “terrible” and “illegal” acts.




The Democrats on the committee released their redacted memo on Saturday, which rebuts the claims made in a GOP memo released earlier this month. The GOP memo accused FBI and Justice Department officials of abusing a surveillance program to improperly spy on the Trump campaign.

The GOP memo, while alleging abuses and anti-Trump bias within the agencies, did not say that any of the activity was criminal.

After its release, Trump claimed that the GOP memo “totally vindicates” him in the investigation into whether his campaign colluded with Russia while he was a candidate.

The Democrat memo response on government surveillance abuses is a total political and legal BUST. Just confirms all of the terrible things that were done. SO ILLEGAL!

Dems are no longer talking DACA! “Out of sight, out of mind,” they say. DACA beneficiaries should not be happy. Nancy Pelosi truly doesn’t care about them. Republicans stand ready to make a deal!

Unemployment claims are at the lowest level since 1973. Much of this has to do with the massive cutting of unnecessary and job killing Regulations!

Democrat judges have totally redrawn election lines in the great State of Pennsylvania. @FoxNews. This is very unfair to Republicans and to our country as a whole. Must be appealed to the United States Supreme Court ASAP!

Armed Educators (and trusted people who work within a school) love our students and will protect them. Very smart people. Must be firearms adept & have annual training. Should get yearly bonus. Shootings will not happen again - a big & very inexpensive deterrent. Up to States.

According to Trump; Russia had nothing to do with Trump besides what the Russians did was Obama's fault.


“Russians had no compromising information on Donald Trump” @FoxNews Of course not, because there is none, and never was. This whole Witch Hunt is an illegal disgrace...and Obama did nothing about Russia!

Right now I don't think he knows whether to shit or go blind. 50% of the CPACers say he should keep on tweeting. He's too stoopid to realize that equates to 75% of Americans wanting him to cut this stupid shit out!

This is what happens when a hostile foreign government, and people too stupid to walk and chew gum at the same time, elect a "president".
