On the recordMarch 20, 2017
In a methodical questioning of Mr. Comey today in the Intelligence Committee, let me recount for you and my colleagues the responses of Mr. Comey. Mr. Trump's tweet, March 4, 2017: Terrible. Just found out that Obama had my wires tapped in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism. Mr. Comey said: No, it did not happen. March 4, 2017: Is it legal for a sitting President to be wiretapping a race for President prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A new low. Mr. Comey said: No, it did not happen. Mr. Comey, the FBI director. Again on March 4, 2017: I bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to election. Again, Mr. Comey said: No. And then again on March 4, 2017, Mr. Trump said: How low has President Obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad, or sick, guy. Mr. Comey, the FBI director, said: No. Definitively, Mr. Trump did not tell the truth. More investigations deliberatively to determine the status of the actions of the President of the United States accusing a former President of a criminal felony which did not happen. It did not happen. ____________________
