Wow, what an over-reaction by you. This is not even a big deal, it's par for the course and it happens in ever Presidency (with party change especially).
It's not being handled in the same way just as the ambassadors weren't handled in the usual way. Provisions are typically put in place to make sure investigations can be completed, disruptions minimized etc. But you know this and choose to ignore it.
And I don't even need to go into how one of these guys was assured he'd stay on only to get fired at a point when he might conceivably begin looking in Trump-Russia dealings.
You may think I'm over reacting but everything he's done has zero regard for anything other than him getting his own way (or Bannon's way). it has nothing to do with governing who the totality of the population or resepcting institutions or the constitution. Luckily there are some checks and balances in place that have prevented some things. I hope they continue to work.

So with the deadline for Trump to provide evidence, into where he is basing his accusations of being wiretapped by Obama, coming up. i.e. Accusing a former president of a felony without providing evidence. Kellyanne Conway has joined the tin foil hat crowd in suggesting that this was done through Trumps microwave. Felt like listening to that interview killed brain cells...
Quote:
Donald Trump's senior aide Kellyanne Conway has suggested Barack Obama could have monitored the President through a microwave.
When she was asked about Mr Trump's claims in an interview with USA Today, Ms Conway suggested the surveillance may have involved far more than wiretapping.
She said: “What I can say is there are many ways to surveil each other.
“You can surveil someone through their phones, certainly through their television sets — any number of different ways.”
She claimed surveillance could be conducted with "microwaves that turn into cameras," and added: “We know this is a fact of modern life.”
The unsubstantiated claim comes after Mr Trump's evidence-free accusation he was wiretapped by Mr Obama during the presidential election, a charge the former president denied.
LOL microwave? Panasonic's adding microphones and cameras to your microwave at the behest of the CIA? If you're going to grasp at straws at least make it semi-plausible.

Every time KAC comes back from her TV timeouts, she seems as confident as ever that she can win these debates from a position of craziness. It's amazing to watch her fail over and over.

And then there's that gold blazer thing. Yikes.
Imagine if we all did the Kelly Anne, just ramble on about anything but the answer, whenever asked a question. that would be awesome at work.

Trump didn't mean wiretapping when he said wiretapping.
Hmm...
I have given him the benefit of the doubt on a lot of things, but this isn't something I will say "it's ok, we know what you meant" about.
This was pretty reckless of him. Absolutely crazy to publicly accuse the previous President of a SERIOUS crime without a) any evidence, and b) without even knowing wtf you're talking about.
It's time for Trump to start taking more of this job seriously. Put down the twitter phone and pick up some intelligence briefs.
I don't feel he's as incompetent as most here do... but this is very bad for Trump.

Absolutely because literally anything he's done during the election process or since becoming president leads me to believe he's going to change. In an unrelated note I'm finally going to start a job at NASA tomorrow. I just need to learn everything about the job and all the required skills. No problem, I can do it because it's time to put down my phone and pick up astrophysics.

"The one thing I'm certain will happen is CBO will say, 'Well, gosh, not as many people will get coverage.' You know why? Because this isn't a government mandate," House Speaker Paul Ryan said on CBS over the weekend. "So there's no way we can compete with, on paper, a government mandate with coverage."
More important than the CBO's prediction of how many people would be covered under the bill, Ryan added, is the goal of lowering the cost of care by expanding choice and competition. One House GOP aide put it this way: "They're saying people are losing coverage but in reality, these people are making a choice," the aide said. "We're not ripping coverage away."
White House spokesman Sean Spicer even went as far as to question the group's accuracy.
"If you're looking to the CBO for accuracy, you're looking in the wrong place," Spicer told reporters last week.
Republican backers of the bill are also stressing that the CBO score won't take into account the effects of other healthcare reforms that Republicans hope to enact, including through legislation and administrative actions from Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price.
