    Indeed, he is largely what/who I mean by Team Trump.

    My own personal view is that while it seems very possible that there is a program of strategic tweets, designed to cause noise and confusion - (to whatever end .. TBC), it's also possible that The Donald is shooting a few of his own, from the hip.
    If so , who knows if Team Trump approve of these.

    This really is incredible sh1t going on- right before our eyes!

    Yep, but I find it all hard to believe that Trump is the idiotic buffoon, firing off random tweets in the oval office as he watches Fox News, that some on here are making him out to be. If he is, then we really are in very deep trouble

    The way I see it there are two rival factions at play here. One is the Obama/Clinton deep state, with their stay behinds embedded in the various government departments and agencies (e.g.7th Floor), along with most of the MSM. Even Republicans such as McCain and Graham are heavily against Trump.

    Trump does have his supporters, but they are far fewer in number, and mostly to be found amonst the military and the rank and file of the security services. However Trump's major weopon is that he is sitting on a treasure trove of "secrets", and this information could bring down an estimated third of those in the corridors of power, if you believe any of the more colourful versions of coming events.

    Hence, if you follow along with this narrative, it's easy to see that many of the players involved would have a very good reason for wanting to bring down this accidental president, who is the very last person that any of them ever wanted to see sitting in the White House.

    Like you say, it is all incredible stuff to witness and very entertaining, and for sure some of us on here are going to have the greatest Western of all Super Mares!

    The tweets could be strategic. If Congress is investigating wire tapps that don't exist then they might not investigate the Russia links. Now why would Trump want that?

    This may or may not be interesting, depending on how bad your cognitive dissonance is

    PS he's the bloke who caused Trump to tweet like a maniac, yes it was some random fella on Fox TV who is responsible for all the drama!

    Cheers for that. Not going to look at everything he mentions as evidence that Obama tappped Trump, so I just looked at one which was this Guardian piece:

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ussia-contacts


    He reads out this bit:

    "The Guardian has learned that the FBI applied for a warrant from the foreign intelligence surveillance (Fisa) court over the summer in order to monitor four members of the Trump team suspected of irregular contacts with Russian officials. The Fisa court turned down the application asking FBI counter-intelligence investigators to narrow its focus. According to one report, the FBI was finally granted a warrant in October, but that has not been confirmed, and it is not clear whether any warrant led to a full investigation."


    ...although interestingly he omits the bit in bold. The article is dated Jan 11th, so I'm wondering, given that it's been around for two months, why no one else has picked up on it being evidence of this massive crime?

    I'd give it a bit of time, cos it's all going to come out in the wash anyway, but it really is starting to get a bit crazy! I've heard a most bizarre story that shouldn't possibly be true, but given Trump's tweets and the accusations he made, there might just be something in it!

    How much time do we give it? He's made the accusations, it's a few days later and still no one is any the wiser about the evidence for it. 'Just might be something in it' is not enough.
