Actually, the left gleefully admitted he was being spied on, in concert with their media reporting on it (they reported on it because those very bureaus were leaking like mad to the media and they perhaps overplayed their card thinking this might end Trump), in that brief period of January 2017, because they (the left) thought, when a lot of this subversion of Trump happened right before his inauguration, proof of Russia collusion was uncovered. Then they realized it wasn't, and quickly changed their tune along with the media. Two peas in a pod.. three if you include the bureaus. The relationship is self-fulfilling with the same end-goal in mind. 

 

It would be a waste of time to portray them as hapless people just getting it wrong. They don't care about right/wrong, correct/incorrect. The only thing that matters is the end result, which is getting their way.. Trump gone.

 

Correctly identifying this for what is it I think is instrumental in understanding the threat these segments pose to the US as a Republic. 

 

Anyhow, the FBI's apology means nothing to me. I've never been a fan of this surveillance state fetish this motivated political class in Washington has been fighting for, for decades, to implement, and mostly got their way with after 9/11. People warned they'd abuse their power (were ignored), and now they have, and as you can see, not a single thing has been/is being/will be done about it.

.. rather, they abused their power so brazenly, as to dictate American elections, it makes one wonder how many other elections they've tried to decide.

 

Either way, these bureaus have too much power and need to be gutted until they prove the few useful things they do can't be delegated elsewhere with far more oversight.

  Christopher Wray's actual response is transcribed here. No admission of anything, no apology for anything. More distortion of reality by a wacko right wing website.

Are we allowed to use the adjective "wacko" ? I was admonished for the acronym RWNJ. Asking for a friend.

    As a general rule, if it doesn't apply to a broad demographic, or if it is not already recognized or associated with a specific group.

 

    In this case, I am referring to the website as being wacko. It happens to be right wing. There are certainly wacko left wing websites, and even seen a few wacko bi partisan sites in the past. 

 

   The term you asked about ends up as a derogatory label attached to individuals of a specific demographic group. It was relatively benign to begin with (as an adjective), but I think it was one of several terms that just got overused on this forum to the point where mods just had to say cut it out.

Yes you can as long as it does not portray a stereotype against a group of people. You can call someone or a news site a wacko news site. I have called Infowars a wacko news site many times on this forum.

Infowars =wacko is a safe bet. Infowars is banned from YouTube and I have very, very, wacko things there.

Good explanation, exactly what I was thinking . Also I might add. That "RWNJ" being banned is held over from the old days. Sometimes a specific term got multi reported in the agenda reporting days and got banned, that being the case here. Same thing happened to my ingenious numbered MDL response system.

 

At one time there was a nefarious move afoot to get MDL etc banned. A certain poster who reported anything and everyone not aligned with lefties tried to get it banned. In a rare move of not giving into peer pressure it did not work. You can still see some remnants of their work in the admin  forum. Not sure how anyone could actually find MDL MDR, MOR used as shorthand to identify someones political identity  could be offensive. The main reason I do it is because I hate typing and suck at it, although it was rapidly adopted by my loyal followers

I suffered through the OAN propaganda and found that at the end, Trump was not wiretapped.
