Rep. Trey Gowdy, another Trump surrogate, has jumped up and on board in support of Chairman Devin Nunes’ refusal to name his sources. Sources he claims informed him the Obama administration spied on Trump’s campaign. Allegations for which no credible evidence has yet surfaced.
New Jersey’s Republican Governor Christie has casts doubts on the credibility of the allegations. Christie told Tucker Carlson on FOX News recently there seems to be no evidence of spying by the prior administration.
“There certainly doesn’t seem to be any evidence of that at this point.”
“I know from having spent seven years as a U.S. attorney that the FISA court and the way that works and foreign intelligence surveillance activities – it is very, very difficult to get that type of activity going. You have to go and convince an independent judge.”
“So I don’t see any evidence of that at this point in time. We’ll continue to listen, but I can tell you from my experience that kind of stuff is very difficult to get.” {edited for brevity}
Given Trump’s demonstrated propensity for lying whenever he deems it serves his agenda the greater likelihood is that Trump’s allegations are false and his surrogates know it.
For Trump and the present Republican party it is not about truth, America, or the best interests of the American people. It’s all about party loyalty and their reactionary agenda. One that heavily favors and benefits the very wealthy while it screws middle America.
This is nothing but a distraction from important issues facing the American people. Trump hopes that while he distracts the American people with BS they won’t be paying attention to his disastrous plan to dismantle our federal government and send it back to, well, you complete the sentence.
