We all know Trump pushed this on March 4:
Defenders of Trump suggested it might be UK intelligence who performed the wiretap.
Kellyanne CONway defended Trump saying that Trump knows things. And the White House said Congress should investigate.
On March 15, Trump said:
"I think you're going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks."
Well, Donald, we are calling your bluff. March 29 is two weeks.
Congress investigated. The former DNI previously stated, and the FBI, DOJ and NSA have now confirmed there was no wiretap. The UK had no wiretap.
By March 29, either show us your hand Donald — proof that Obama had Trump Tower wiretapped - or fold your hand.
If you fold or do nothing by March 29, we and the media can reasonably conclude:
- You repeated Fake News that you saw on Breitbart and/or Fox News.
- By repeating Fake News, you irresponsibly misinformed millions of Americans and billions of people around the world.
- You ineptly failed to use the resources at your disposal as President to make any attempts to verify this information before you spread Fake News via Twitter.
- In doing so, you showed the world that what you Tweet should NEVER be taken as fact. In fact, it should be treated as Fake News until you offer actual proof.
- The Office of the President should no longer be given any benefit of the doubt. Trust ONLY after verifying that you didn’t lie or exaggerate, again.
- You are not taking the role of President seriously since you trusted on the rantings of some pundit on a news show for your information while ignoring the assessments of professional intelligence assets with access to classified information and direct knowledge of any wiretap.
- You lack good judgement and your decisions and pronouncements are not grounded in reality: despite irrefutable evidence that no wiretap existed and ZERO evidence that one did exist, you continue to assert that a wiretap did exist.
- You are a sucker for conspiracy theories.
Enough is enough. Put up or shut up. This is distracting us from how you are expanding the swamp for yourself, your family and your billionaire friends at the expense of working families.
This distraction must come to an end, by your own deadline, with you or without you, on March 29.
