It might seem like this if you ignore lots of facts. Comey started the investigation into the Trump campaign in July 2016. Hillary point-blank called Trump a Russian puppet during a debate in October 2016. Both of these events happened before the election, your assertion doesn't match the history.
Edit: It was also big news when the RNC platformed changed to a more pro-Russia stance. Again, before the election. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/trump-campaign-guts-gops-anti-russia-stance-on-ukraine/2016/07/18/98adb3b0-4cf3-11e6-a7d8-13d06b37f256_story.html?utm_term=.33417d9a81eb https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/trum...
- jessaustin 9y agoWasn't the first FISA request in June '16? Much earlier than most wiretapping of presidential candidates by administrations of the other wing of the status quo party!
- moorhosj 9y agoCan you explain your false equivalency a little better, I'm not sure I follow?
- jessaustin 9y agoIt's a simple question. When Trump complained that his campaign had been wiretapped, was he correct or was he incorrect?
- moorhosj 9y agoWe don't know if Trump himself was wiretapped, as he claimed. We do know that at least one of his campaign advisors had a FISA warrant approved by a federal judge. I'm not sure what relation this has to the fact that Trump-Russia connections were being investigated prior to the election. That fact is contrary to the comment you made that it only started in order to explain why Hillary lost. Have you ceded that false premise yet or are we just moving on to the next deflection?
- jessaustin 9y agoNever mind; you're better at this game than I am. b^)
