    OH MY!! Time to start a Logan Act investigation and spying on the Biden campaign. Let's let hundreds of Trump officials to demask intercepted conversations. Time to send the FBI over to have a "casual interview" with the President-elect and see if they can get him to lie about it and then charge him with a crime. And then we need a Mueller type investigation.

    Don't ya think?

    Obama official sets off alarms by claiming Biden is already speaking to foreign leaders about agenda as president

    Ben Rhodes, the former deputy national security advisor, has raised the concern of critics after claiming in an interview that Joe Biden is already discussing his potential administration’s agenda with foreign leaders.

    “The center of political gravity in this country and the world is shifting to Joe Biden,” Rhodes told MSNBC on Monday....

    ....Rhodes claims Biden is already fielding phone calls with “foreign leaders” and “talking about the agenda they’re going to pursue January 20th.”...

    ...Never forget – it was Biden who raised the issue of using the Logan Act against Flynn. Meanwhile, the press’ double-standard is plain to see: it’s ok for team Biden to do this. But it’s not ok for team Trump,” Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer tweeted, likely referencing a claim by Trump that Biden recommended using the Logan Act to charge Flynn.

    The number one plank in the Dems platform, "Rules for thee, NONE for ME!". Double-standard? We ain't seen nuttin' yet.

    Trump should take note and do his best to ensure a smooth and peaceful transition of power instead of whining like a little female dog.

    This is why Trump was furious with Sessions for recusing himself. Trump knew better than to play nice with the left when the left was playing mean.

    He should do exactly like the Obama administration did if not why not? And did you mean whining like Hillary Clinton and the Democrats did when Trump won? And when Bush43 won?

    Hillary conceded in a speech the day after election. Sore Loser Trump has been crying for a week with no sign of stopping.

    I can most certainly compare how they conduct themselves after being defeated. Hillary's ego took a huge blow just like Trump did, but she gathered her emotions after one night and acted like an adult. Trump's emotion is all over the place poisoning America, going on a week now.

    It's telling. Trump's ego was still bruised in '16 for not winning the popular vote which is why he made up the BS about 3m illegal votes. This time around his popular vote deficit is increased by 66%. He's denied a second term and lost even more electoral votes than he won last time. We haven't had such a loser president in nearly 3 decades. The child simply doesn't have the mental fortitude to handle it.

    Biden wanted him and those on the transition investigated for Logan Act violations for having policy discussions with foreign governments and McCabe testified today that Crossfire Hurricane was justified because of contacts with foreign officials.

    Now it's OK?

    There were no contest to the vote in 2016 there are now. And Clinton contours to whine and claim she didn't really lose because she won the nonexistant popular vote and thatnit as because of the Russians and interference.

    No I think you can’t discuss what I wrote.

    The whole reason there is “fraud” is because trump is a sore loser. He cannot accept defeat and “fraud” is the defense mechanism.
