| Mercer: The Donald Vs. The ‘Deep State' |

| [Townhall] President Trump has credibly accused Obama of wire-tapping the Trump Tower phones during the 2016 campaign. Whether the tapping of Trump Tower phones can be traced to Obama; whether it's true or false--consider the counter-accusations floated by President Donald Trump about Barack Obama as part of a strategy. The president is in survival mode. He's backed into a corner and is fighting back with brio, counter-punching at the Machine intent on unseating him. The Donald is destabilizing the destabilizers. The opinion makers were incensed. "He had no evidence when he smeared his predecessor. Just contemplate the recklessness--the sheer indifference to truth," yelped the New York Times. "The administration can't substantiate the wire-tapping claim," screeched the MSNBC collective. On CNN it's been incontinent outrage, every hour of each day, since president Trump shot across the bow at Obama. Marching in lockstep, media have ruled that Trump's wire-tapping taunt is unworthy of investigation. At the same time, the RussiaGate conspiracy with which media are hobbling the Trump presidency, and for which no credible proof exists--that's beyond reproach as a news story. Fake News' fantastical idée fixe is that the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin to rob their "beloved" Hillary Clinton of her presidential birthright. To them, that's what you'd call a perfectly legitimate and logical line of inquiry! |

| #7 To make the game more interesting... a subset of 2) with some finger-pointing: 3) NSA Officials Who Hated Clintons Hacked DNC and Gave Emails to WikiLeaks From over at Gateway Pundit: Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer (ret.) told Hannity former NSA operatives who were fed up with the Clintons are the ones who hacked into the DNC and gave the hacked Podesta emails to WikiLeaks. The Democrats do not want to talk about this and it is probably why the DNC refused to allow the FBI to look at it’s hacked server. I rather like the idea that our Intel Community is not totally infested with Obamanistas and related vermin. Wheels within wheels. |

| #6 ...every hour of each day, since president Trump shot across the bow at Obama. A sitting POTUS accuses his predecessor of personally authorizing illegal surveillance of his communication and this fool calls it a Shot across the bow...are you fucking kidding me? Well, one thing for sure, Trump was spot on with his 'shoot someone on 5th Ave in broad daylight' metaphor. |

| #5 Or the wikileaks version that it was an angry democrat who gave up the info and the Russians became a convenient excuse. |

| #3 I'm not the Kremlinologist I once was (if ever!), but I'd bet Russia, like all the smart kids, figured POTUS Hillary was a done deal. Which seems more likely: 1) The Russians conspired against all odds to elect a loose cannon reality TV star with weird hair instead of Reset Button Hillary. vs 2) Russian intelligence services, along with Rest of World, were engaged in business as usual, rooting around for interesting tidbits and took total advantage of the Dem's poor sysadmin skills and lack of information security. |

| #2 I have a feeling that when Trump and his staff make their move it is going to be like a safe dropping on a water melon, green and red scattered all over the place. |
