The head of the FBI publicly challenged U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday, denying the Republican's claim that former president Barack Obama wiretapped his 2016 election campaign and confirming his agency had launched a criminal investigation into any collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia.
FBI Director James Comey told a congressional hearing he had seen no evidence to support a claim by Trump that Obama had wiretapped his campaign headquarters in Trump Tower in New York.
"And we have looked carefully inside the FBI. The Department of Justice has asked me to share with you that the answer is the same for the Department of Justice and all its components: the department has no information that supports those tweets," he said.

Evidence. Show me evidence that he was wrong and I will admit he was wrong. For now I just have the supposed opinion of the Director of the FBI which doesn't hold a lot of water in my opinion.

So you want the FBI to have to prove that whatever Trump says is wrong, but Trump doesn't have to prove anything he says to be accurate?
Oh. Okay.

Logical Fallacy - proving a negative.
Trump can't make a claim, have no evidence to show for it, then expect people to prove him wrong. This makes no sense.

You first. Trump made the claim, the onus is on him to produce the evidence. Why are you believing HIS words without evidence but doubting these people who would be more in the know than Trump?

That's fine, but you asked what it would take for me to admit he was wrong and I told you. Logic doesn't matter in that regard. I won't take absence of evidence as evidence of absence.
I think they are both full of s*** (Trump and Comey) but I can't admit anything until I have proof of something.
