    To extend my belabored fire-fighter metaphor:

    it's like the fire dept. knew this house was a fire-trap based on repeated calls to put out minor blazes. THEN TWO SCOOPS DECIDED TO MOVE IN (to the house of manafort, page et al.) But oh no, the fire dept. is totally picking on Two Scoops. So unfair to spray water on his home that is billowing smoke from every window.

    How did the “Obama wire tapped me” conspiracy theory work out?

    How did the “Susan Rice illegally unmasked” conspiracy theory work out?

    How did the Nunes “memo” work out?

    Now we have the “a spy in my campaign” theory.

    This is the latest spaghetti noodle to get thrown on the wall hoping they’ll land on a noodle that will eventually stick. Only thing they’ve gotten to stick is the theory that Trump cult fans really are that gullible and the GOP in general really is 100% corrupt from the top down to allow this to happen on their watch. They’ve even turned on John McCain in the process in some disgusting purge of the party.

    Congrats Trump fans. You wanted it. You got it. This is the party you guys built or allowed to be built.

    good. not a theory.

    also good. Also not a theory.

    its not a theory. The DOJ/FBI admit they did it. The person has even been named.......


    When something is known to have happened, its no longer a theory dobro. Whats worse is you can't even reach the second statement without admitting the first was true. what would be unmasked?


    Throwing out these hissy fits before the IG reports is not going to make the outcome better. you know whats coming.

    Hahaha... Really.... those conspiracy theories worked out so well 3 quarters of the American people believe the Mueller should be allowed to continue despite waves and waves of Propaganda and online trolls like yourself fighting tooth and nail to shut down this investigation?

    Yeah... it worked ... for you who has been willing to drink the kool aid this whole time and fight for Trump with alternative facts for two years now... good job Nunes and Trump. You got Tallv on your side.. woohoo. Big accomplishment.

    A. Obama did NOT wire tap Trump Tower. That is a lie.

    There was a FISA warrant out on Carter Page. The same Carter Page who is a self described “adviser to the Kremlin” and in 2013 his entanglements led to the arrest of Russian in spy’s here in the US.

    You are flat out lying here and connecting two dots that do NOT serve your interests to connect. That's like laying in a tanning bed in order to get rid of your skin cancer. If the FBI wasn't surveying Carter Page and Paul Manafort, its a dereliction of their duty. In the end, even is Trump is innocent, he's a moron for hiring people like them without a simple background check.

    B. Susan Rice was the NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER.

    There is no such thing as it being illegal for the NSA to unmask someone in an intelligence report. Its literally her job. She was brought before Congress, and the Senate to answer for her "unmasking" and they found nothing that they could pen her down for that wasn't in her right to do in her role. What... is John Bolton not allowed to unmask names in intelligence reports now because that's the case you guys are making. If he unmasks a name in an intelligence report in 2019 that is somehow connected to Bernie Sanders, or Kamala Harris, will you sh$% a brick like your cult did 6 months ago, and now crickets?

    Give me a GDamn break.

    C. The alleged "Spy" has not been confirmed to be a SPY at all with nefarious motives against the Trump campaign. If anything the FBI and this informant were protecting the Trump campaign by seeing if the Russians had made moves to approach low level campaign aids. Then the FBI went to Trump to let him know Russians were possibly trying to infiltrate his campaign and Trump did Sh$%... actually worse than that.... he publicly appeared on National TV and invited the Russians to do more.

    Trump should have listened to the FBI, and this informant seems to have been trying to do Trump a favor, but his corruption knows no bounds, and with sycophants like you in his corner.... well... corruption is now embraced by 25% of the American people.

    So yeah... Nunes' spaghetti landed on your wall, but anything they say would have because you'd believe the earth was flat if Trump told you.... You should feel proud that you are more than willing to embrace lies & corruption just because of your deep undying love of Donald J. Trump. What an icon. Stand tall comrade.

    why do you keep calling them theories? which one are you saying isn't proven true? I also don't understand your point is here. there things aren't contradictory.

    dobro you make it much much worse with your explanations. 'sure they wrietapped trump's team but not his tower', 'sure rice unmasked a bunch of trumps team but it wasnt against the law', 'sure they had a spy (probably more than one) on the trump team, but it was to help Trump'. do you even listen to yourself? Just stop and reread what you write before posting.

    ALL OF THEM. Literally ALL OF THEM are not true on their face.

    A FISA warrant on Carter Page is not equal to Barrack Obama personally ordering a wire tap on Trump Tower to somehow gather evidence on Donald Trump during the election, and NOT USE THEM during the campaign to beat him in the election.

    The infamous "Memo" was hyped up for weeks as it was supposed to include information so damaging it would shut down the Mueller investigation... when in fact it actually made Trump look even worse with the information they ended up being able to use.

    Susan Rice did not ILLEGALLY unmask names... THAT WAS HER JOB. That is what is called a LIE my friend.

    So yeah... maybe they aren't just theories... I should just call them what they are.... bold faced lies put out there to keep people like you believing grand conspiracy to remain sympathetic & cult like going to war on internet forums to make others believe the lies you believe without question.

    None of them have been proven true, and in fact, have been debunked.

    Explaining the facts behind the theories actually creates context to show people like you are drinking the Kool Aid when you believe what you are writing on behalf of King Trump.

    Why don't you read your own garbage for once?

    Just one example (I don't have time to go through all of them) -

    *You are believing (and wanting others to believe) a theory that somehow Obama HIMSELF ordered a wiretap on Trump Tower for the purpose of beating Donald Trump in the election, and decided to not use the evidence to help Hillary win the election?

    Brilliant. And in the process in pushing this theory by using Carter Page you give more sunlight on the fact that a SELF DESCRIBED Adviser to the Kremlin had a FISA Warrant on him when a REPUBLICAN judge reviewed the evidence the FBI presented to the Judge and decided there was probable cause to survey that individual.

    THAT is the theory you really want to try and connect to your conspiracy around Obama wiretapping Trump Tower? Wow. Again... its like going to the tanning bed to get rid of skin cancer. You are doing your cause (protecting Trump from collusion charges) a complete disservice by pushing theories and then trying to connect other things just to say you are right that ultimately backfire on your end goal.

    By telling you that I think you should leave the theory alone, I'm actually trying to HELP YOU, and your cause. If your end goal is to get Trump off Scott Free... here's a thought.... act like an innocent person.

    -Go after Carter Page.
    -Go after Paul Manafort.
    -Tell the world that you think its despicable that the Russian would try and infiltrate your campaign and will do everything you can to bring those traitors that tried to infiltrate your campaign to justice.
    -You praise law enforcement, and you should have done more to listen to them when they tried to warn you two years ago.
    -You sanction Russia for breaking into the DNC and hacking emails
    -you institute new regulations around internet fake news & propaganda efforts with social media companies

    and most of all... You don't fire the FBI director looking into the Russian meddling and go on national TV the next day that you fired him because of the Russian investigation & invite the Russian govt into the oval office the next day and say that "this Russian cloud is now lifted".

    Got it... I'm TRYING TO HELP YOU GUYS HERE.

    Lord have mercy, you seriously cannot be this dense.

    Draw extremely dumb conclusion from fact. Focus on fact being true to prove conclusion, ignore how stupid the logical flow is to arrive at the conclusion.

    Yes these were extremely stupid conspiracy theories. Yes, none of them were true.

    How do you keep letting yourself get duped into this nonsense? These people are ****ing criminals.
