‘This is Nixon/Watergate’: Trump Accuses Obama Of Wire Tapping Trump Tower Before Election

President Trump exploded on Twitter early Saturday morning, blasting former President Barack Obama for allegedly wire tapping his phones before the election.

“Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!” he declared.

“Is it legal for a sitting President to be ‘wire tapping’ a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!” he added.

Trump has the authority to declassify almost any classified material, and could substantiate his accusations if he wanted to.

The Saturday-morning Twitter storm was striking as Trump and Obama had largely appeared to paper over their differences — at least publicly — since the election.

Here’s a link to a detailed summary and timeline of when Obama and others started the surveillance of Trump, and this whole “Russian Hacking” B.S. Well worth reading the source article.

Issa, McCain, Graham....waiting...

[Yashcheritsiy]

Obama and his people need to go to jail for this.

[Rik0Shay]

He reclused himself from any investigation of Trumps campaign. He can go full bore on this one.

[Lady Heron]

This has nothing to do with Russia so Sessions should have no problem with this.

The IRS scandal and Lois Lerner taking the 5th demonstrate how Obama used the USG to go after his enemies. It is far worse than Watergate. Nixon was never able to force IRS to do it.

Then answer the questions I asked...We need answers, if you know them, tell the rest of us...

[sissyjane]

Jeff sessions said that he was recusing himself from investigating anything to do with the campaign.

Hussein the blue lipped Kenyan who just was paid 60 million for books that nobody will buy has to go on the record with a denial.

Like Watergate. the people who set up the wiretapping have to be exposed and as they face long jail times, they will sing to show where the orders really came from.

Like Watergate, the trails will lead to the Oval Office and the pawns will fall on daggers to protect the lying scumbag named Hussein Obama.

President Trump is working to expose the clown named Obama. Hussein doesn't think President Trump has the balls to have him arrested. Like Hillary, Podesta and other trash, Hussein doesn't get it yet.

President Trump tweets so far today.

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

• • Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago

I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!

Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!

Just out: The same Russian Ambassador that met Jeff Sessions visited the Obama White House 22 times, and 4 times last year alone.

The first meeting Jeff Sessions had with the Russian Amb was set up by the Obama Administration under education program for 100 Ambs......

Also I remember OVOMIT delayed the remodeling of the Oval Office few days before the inauguration. When Trump stepped into that office the paint was still wet!.....which was very curious, but someone here mentioned that Trump would be wise to look for shenanigans by OVOMIT... like OPUKE wiretapping the room! Now we know why the New York Times was always one step ahead and the protesters carrying printed signs that evening asking Sessions to resign right after he removed himself...what are the chances of that?? So damn fishy..the asses were listening in!!

Good morning,kabar.

Great point.

Always like to hear your viewpoint, after having been in the government so long.

So much injustice........

[Common Sense 101]

Don’t misunderstand... I’m glad he’s on offense with this, however, in about an hour or so he’s going to be back on defense, having to provide “evidence” of this action by O-hole, which is ironic on a biblical scale, given that the very same POS enemedia scum and Demonic party haven’t provided a single piece of evidence to support their idiotic Trump-Russian “connection”.

Woodward is not interested unless there is a Republican villain.And better yet, a Republican villain and a Democrat victim.Nor is any other "journalists" of the msm ilk.

[Sirius Lee]

The beauty of it all is that homobama isn’t the president anymore. We can skip the impeachment part and go straight to grand jury.

[nathanbedford]

This certainly is a devastating accusation potentially criminal in nature and it is essential that the Trump administration which has the full power of the federal government under its control act aggressively against any conspiracy which might exist.

That means that there has to be an individual in charge who now, regrettably, might or might not be the Attorney General because of his recusal on the Russia issue, but it must be a thoroughly reliable and capable law enforcement official who is willing to immediately impanel a grand jury and begin to take testimony. It must be a man who was willing to consider and possibly pursue a RICO case of criminal conspiracy.

It is essential that Trump was advised by some official, hopefully FBI Director Comey, who provided a tangible, written or recorded record of what Trump is alleging in his tweets, so that Trump's allegations concerning Obama are tied to him directly and not just by inference or by connecting dots, and in such a way that Obama's motives are plain to see.

I am sure it is only a matter of hours until more comes out. I question whether it was smart to vent and attack at five o'clock in the morning and whether it might have been much smarter to spend 48 hours consulting with the Department of Justice, the FBI, and explicitly laying out a case in a more coherent manner. This kind of reflexive reaction only makes Trump look erratic and is unnecessary and it, unfortunately, trivializes a potentially grave constitutional crisis.

It is necessary for Trump to mobilize the full power of the federal government on this issue and not to squander the momentum with erratic tweets.

[SE Mom]

Holy crap!

I’m at work.

Tapped his lines???

[RoosterRedux]

Who had access to Trump’s phone lines? Any number of spooks could have tapped his lines or even bugged his penthouse and office.

I think you should have a telescopic laser range finder and a howitzer battery for a knife fight. Let the switchblade guy fight it his way, and I will fight it in mine.
