In case you were wondering if your microwave is safe to use, Senate Intelligence Committee leaders have just issued the announcement we all knew was coming. Of course President Barack Obama did not have President Donald Trump’s electronic devices tapped.

The Hill reported on the statement released by the Senate Intelligence Committee:

 “‘Based on the information available to us, we see no indications that Trump Tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the United States government either before or after Election Day 2016,’ Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said, providing no other details.”

“…White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Tuesday said Trump is ‘extremely confident’ that the Justice Department will produce evidence to back up his assertion. He said Trump believes the evidence will ‘vindicate him.’”

The White House seems to forget that Trump’s tweets are out there for all to see. As they try to walk back the claim, a short Twitter search reveals that Trump absolutely claimed that Obama tapped his phones.

The White House has defended these claims by saying that Trump did not say that he was wiretapped, but that it was a general surveillance during the election. We know that this is false since Trump called his wiretapping claim a “fact.”

A press briefing scheduled for Thursday was delayed by an hour in light of the released findings. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s first statement about the finding is that the press chooses not to cover when findings come out about Trump’s connection to Russia. The deflection is business as usual from the White House. Spicer gets loud and defensive when asked for a reaction. He stood by his claim that Trump will be vindicated.

Spicer goes on to say that there are no actual findings and that the president still stands by his initial claims that the Obama administration wire-tapped Trump Tower. Even Trump’s closest minions are now refuting Trump’s claims. As CNBC reported:

 “House Speaker Paul Ryan on Thursday backed key lawmakers’ statements that no evidence supports President Donald Trump‘s claim that Trump Tower was wiretapped before the 2016 election.”

To be clear, Donald Trump has once again been proved to be a liar. His lapdog Spicer has once again shown that there is absolutely no accountability in the White House. King Cheeto will never apologize for any of the slandering he has done in regards to Obama. All of this has been a diversion in order to take the focus off of the fact that the entire Trump administration is corrupt. Stay focused.
