re: #127 goddamnedfrank

The best part is the New York Times article in question says fuck all about wiretapping at Trump Tower. What it does say is this:

Mr. Manafort is among at least three Trump campaign advisers whose possible links to Russia are under scrutiny. Two others are Carter Page, a businessman and former foreign policy adviser to the campaign, and Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative.

The F.B.I. is leading the investigations, aided by the National Security Agency, the C.I.A. and the Treasury Department’s financial crimes unit. The investigators have accelerated their efforts in recent weeks but have found no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, the officials said. One official said intelligence reports based on some of the wiretapped communications had been provided to the White House.

In other words he says he got the info from the “fake news” New York Times but the Times just reported that he already got information about wiretaps of the Russians that nabbed Manafort, Stone, etc from the intelligence agencies. I mean, if he actually just misread the Times (HA!) why the fuck would he believe that vs the intelligence report the Times was actually talking about?
