Originally printed in the WSJ.
To have something like this printed by anyone, even to a guy like me, is cold. To have something like this printed by the Wall Street Journal, a paper that is Conservative down to the tips of their shoelaces, is jaw-dropping.
Excerpt from "A President's Credibility": President Trump is clinging to his wiretapping claim “like a drunk to an empty gin bottle,” the Wall Street Journal said in a scathing editorial published Tuesday night. And that claim, floating in the president’s “seemingly endless stream of exaggerations, evidence-free accusations, implausible denials and other falsehoods,” is severely damaging his credibility, both at home and abroad.
“If President Trump announces that North Korea launched a missile that landed within 100 miles of Hawaii, would most Americans believe him? Would the rest of the world? We’re not sure,” the paper said.

The Never Trumpers are alive and well at the WSJ. After the revelations yesterday about the "incidental collection" of the Trump transition team that bottle of gin may actual be a bottle of spring water. Even the vaunted Bob Woodward on O'Reilly last night is now more open to the fact that Trump may have been listened in on and it was improper, possibly illegal and the leaking of it certainly is illegal.
Most of the media is not believable any longer so people in glass houses, perhaps, should not throw stones.

I think it's important to find out who exactly was under surveillance when the "incidental collection" was gathered. There is absolutely NO proof that Trump himself or his transition team was directly under surveillance during that time. So that begs the question, who was? Why were they under surveillance? When was the warrant issued for that surveillance? And exactly what intel was gathered during that surveillance?
No, the "incidental collection" of intel collected from the transition team does NOT prove that either Trump himself or his transition team was indeed under direct surveillance. In fact, it was the surveillance of a foreign body that caught the transition team. And here it is DIRECTLY from Fox News, a media establishment that has a history of Pro-Trump propaganda.

Trump team communications captured by intelligence community surveillance, Nunes says
Members of the intelligence community incidentally collected communications from the Trump transition team during legal surveillance operations of foreign targets, a top Republican lawmaker said Wednesday afternoon.

After yesterday's reveal by House Intelligence's Nunez this article is worth as much as Horse Manure, perhaps Cow Shit.

SSgt Gary Andrews - yep. both were what we already knew. Trump does pay taxes sometimes. Shocking. Incidental collection of communications not associated with the investigations did occur. Shocking. Now how about they answer the questions that are being asked then maybe there actually be some credibility.

I do not consider the WSJ to be a Conservative's choice for information. It is an Establishment instrument used to push an agenda. It is not news that the Establishment is against the current President that was elected to end the corrupt nature of politics and D.C.

SSgt Gary Andrews - You may believe they are a Conservative paper. I simply stated that they are not my source for Conservative based information.
