House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed an early-morning tweetstorm by President Trump on Saturday, accusing the president of trying to deflect attention away from a series of stories about his team's links to Russia.

“The Deflector-in-Chief is at it again. An investigation by an independent commission is the only answer,” Pelosi wrote on Twitter.

The tweet was an apparent response to Trump’s earlier rant, in which he accused former President Obama of “wire tapping” his phones during his 2016 presidential bid, comparing it “McCarthyism” and President Richard Nixon’s Watergate scandal.

Trump did not cite or provide any proof that Obama ordered the then-presidential candidate’s conversations to be monitored. He may have been referencing a Breitbart News story published Friday alleging that the Obama administration used “police state” tactics to keep tabs on Trump’s campaign.

1. Oddly (or not), I at first thought she had said...

Defector in chief. Worked for me.

3. That might also be true if more evidence appears.

Imagine the conversations between Trump and Assange.

2. Trump believing Breitbart and Infowars and RW media are the real news is sad and stupid.

4. Good for her. This is the issue here. Let's get back to the special prosecutor.

5. I was reported that this will be another working weekend for him in the southern WH.

Probably working on damage control, finding things he can do to wag the dog and how many nasty bills McConnell and Ryan can slip through congress while we're all focused on the lightening rod (tRump).

6. I thought he was the repubican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

he's an entity of many titles, apparently
