Washington (AFP) – President Donald Trump is asking Congress to probe “potentially politically motivated investigations” during the 2016 campaign, the White House said Sunday.

The announcement came one day after Trump took to Twitter to accuse his predecessor Barack Obama of tapping his phones ahead of the November election, without providing evidence of the explosive charge.

An Obama spokesman has denied Trump’s accusation as “simply false.”

An Obama spokesman has denied Trump’s accusation as “simply false.”

Has Obama said a word yet...or have all statements been made through "spokesmen?"

This is a make-or-break point for Trump. This either ends in Obama convicted, or Trump dubbed deranged & removed from office.

This has to be done. It is more important than tax reform, which is the only thing Wall St. and the business lobby, both of which backed Hillary, are interested in. He owes them nothing, while he owes his supporters a probe of government corruption.

This is not a rhetorical question, but has there been a single congressional hearing in the past 16 years that has resulted into anything concrete?

I know it is the weekend, but the usual big mouth of Congress have been very quiet. I believe there might be some genuine fear running through some of them.

McCain, it seems, is in a bunker somewhere, clacking a pair of stainless steel balls.

“”””This is not a rhetorical question, but has there been a single congressional hearing in the past 16 years that has resulted into anything concrete?””””

Blah blah blah, huff, puff, cry, cave. Repeat as necessary.

Since they are ALL on the take they don’t want to upset the herd. I believe that is why so many politicians were against Trump. They knew he would stomp a hole in anyone that got out of line.

IIRC, the only fruitful Congressional investigations in the last FIFTY years have been against Republicans.
(WJC's Lewinsky-gate being the exception to the rule. And we saw how that turned out.)

President Trump better order a sweep of the White House for listening devices left by Obama.

You seriously think the Left won’t engineer this into the cornerstone of a clinical paranoia accusation to remove him from office? If the wiretaps didn’t happen, he’s too nuts for the nuclear football. If they did, the Left has no choice but to spin it that way anyway so Obama & his cronies doesn’t serve time, meaning Trump must get him convicted.

Where am I wrong here?

Why Congress?

Is it because Sessions recused himself?
