Did anyone know today was March 4 Trump?
'He's Doing A Good Job': Supporters Rally Nationwide To Defend Trump

Supporters of President Trump are gathering at locations across the U.S. on Saturday, in a bid to challenge what rally organizers call the country's "seditious fringe." In a series of demonstrations dubbed the "March 4 Trump" — or the Spirit of America Rallies — organizers have pledged to provide "forgotten voices a mechanism so they can be heard."

The man can't be stopped. I can't believe we are here, in this future, rather than the nuclear hell that awaited us behind door number two.

President Trump is furious over Attorney General Jeff Sessions's decision to recuse himself from investigations into Russia, according to reports Saturday.

Sessions on Thursday recused himself from any investigations into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, bowing to mounting bipartisan pressure after it was revealed he spoke to Moscow's U.S. envoy during the campaign then denied doing so during his confirmation hearings.

Sessions said he made his decision after consulting with officials at the Justice Department, who recommended he should no longer participate in the probe.
Washington Post reporter Robert Costa tweeted Saturday morning that President Trump left the White House "in a fury" on Friday, "fuming about [Jeff] Sessions's recusal and telling aides that Sessions shouldn't have recused himself," also calling the reports of his meeting "bull."

ABC News also reported that Trump went "ballistic," on Friday, also over the Sessions news.

And here is some more information about Trumps wiretapping allegations:
GOP Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.) on Saturday called on President Trump to release information backing up his allegation that former President Barack Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower during the campaign.

"This allegation has serious implications. @POTUS should provide more info to Congress immediately to assess constitutionality and legality," wrote Amash, a frequent Trump critic.

Nixon giving people ideas?

More seriously, I would not be stunned, if either the Obama Administration, with their political (non)ethics, did bug Trump, or Trump is just being his usual little lying weasel self. I guess the latter, but I have a hard time caring. I should, but the flying fecal blizzard emanating from the Parties is making it so hard.
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

All true but if Obama did have Trump bug it raises the question, "did they go through FISA, and if so what evidence did they present to the judge that allowed it?"

Also, here is this interesting article found on Politico's website:
Pesident Donald Trump set the political and national security community on fire Saturday morning, starting the day with a four-part Twitter rant alleging that former President Barack Obama had “tapped” his phones during the presidential campaign. Trump invoked the specter of the Nixon and McCarthy eras, suggesting there were “bad” people involved in shady activities. If this latest early morning tirade shows us anything, however, it is that the president has a rather pedestrian understanding of how the law works.

There is no evidence – nor did the president provide any – suggesting the Obama administration “tapped” Trump’s phone lines at Trump Tower, or in general for that matter. Indeed, a spokesperson for President Obama denied he did any such thing.

There has been a growing body of evidence, however, dating back to a Heat Street article on the eve of the election, indicating that there is at least one FISA warrant targeting people affiliated with Trump. That article claimed a FISA warrant had been issued in connection with an ongoing investigation into suspicious activity between a server in Trump Tower and two foreign banks, SVB Bank and Alfa Bank. The warrant allegedly also encompasses at least four U.S. citizens, and includes the contents of their emails and communications.

Since the election, other outlets such as The Guardian, BBC and McClatchy have reported the existence of an ongoing counterintelligence investigation into potential financial improprieties between Russian financial institutions and Trump associates. According to the BBC and McClatchy, a FISA warrant was allegedly issued on Oct. 15, 2016, although they indicated the warrant does not pertain to any specific U.S. citizens but rather only access to financial records.

And this is from the Independent:
More than half of Americans think Congress should investigate whether members of Donald Trump's campaign team had contact with the Russian government in the run-up to the election.

Fifty-three per cent of people told researchers from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal they backed a congressional probe, and a similar proportion said Russian interference more generally in the 2016 polls should be looked into.

In total, 25 per cent said they would not support an investigation of the Trump campaign team.

But the numbers were collated before the latest controversy to hit President Trump's administration—reports that his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, had twice had contact with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, but did not disclose it during his confirmation hearing in January.
