I figure he did learn about it from his own internal sources. And that's why he's been working to undermine the reputations of our intelligence agencies ever since.

Or maybe he never knew until now.

(12,344 posts)The brazenness is part of his game, and it's the only game he knows. But he's never been up against the single-minded determination of someone like Mueller.

(38,458 posts)But Mueller will get him no matter what. I agree, "single minded determination" of Mueller.
My guess is Mueller has seen this attitude before. "convinced of invulnerability"... Trump's deep down belief. But, I believe that Mueller will get Trump no matter what Trump thinks. ...
this is what Mueller thinks..."don't stop tell you get the crooks"

(19,837 posts)thats why he screams "no collusion"
thats why he acts like he does to distract.
thats why hes worked so hard to destroy the FBI and our own intelligence.
Hes probably been working for the Russkies since the 90s.

eleny
(46,166 posts)That was during a speech he gave in July 2016.
And then the FBI got its hair on fire when he was interviewed by Lester Holt on May 11, 2017 and after the country learned from Russian news sources around May 16, 2017 that Sergei Lavrov visited in the Oval Office on May 10, 2017.
Trump's tweet about Obama and wiretapping is dated March 4, 2017.

(25,298 posts)and that is what prompted him to say that Obama was wiretapping him. Based on the date you posted about Obama and wiretapping - it looks like that came before the FBI started their investigation.
