Earlier this morning, Trump took to Twitter to express his outrage over wiretapping at Trump Tower during Obama’s Presidency. Back in November, the media did confirm that wiretapping did allegedly take place, via Heat Street:

Contrary to earlier reporting in the New York Times, which cited FBI sources as saying that the agency did not believe that the private server in Donald Trump’s Trump Tower which was connected to a Russian bank had any nefarious purpose, the FBI’s counter-intelligence arm, sources say, re-drew an earlier FISA court request […].

FISA definition

Latest spin is that the wiretap proves that Trump was guilty of conspiring with the Soviets.

I believe President Trump can Immediately declassify the Warrant Application and the Subsequent Investigation

Seems to be the job of the Justice Department, is the issue on wire tapping. Probably the reason the Left wanted Sessions sidelined.

Someone please ask: What was the probable cause for these taps?

A random server-to-server connection someone found is not enough. If it is, anyone is eligible to be tapped at any time for no reason.

How did it take 6 weeks in office for President Trump to learn that Trump Tower was wiretapped? Who in the government had this information but withheld it from the President? Under what authority? Unless Trump is individually the target, it seems to me that he needs to know who around him was investigated and why. Absent some statutory authority to the contrary, the full executive power of the government resides in the president.

Proof that even the most ignorant Democrat or media cannot dismiss.

Don't sell the media short. Even if there was a certified copy of a request signed by Obama himself, along with records of the wiretapping activity, they would still find a way to deny it. Alternatively, plan B is to say "well, if he ordered it, then there must have been a very good reason to do so... Trump must therefore be guilty".

HotAir was happy to print the conjecture. Duly noted.

By the time all this unravels, bet it goes back to as early, maybe even earlier than 1991 and the Clinton run for Presidency.....whitewater etc....the entire foundation of FreeRepublic.

The potential is there, and so is the “will”.

I include this for context and relevance.

The left and GOPe who are denying this criminal act neet to ask themselves, “who else did Obama hack/wiretap?”

[Jimmy The Snake]

Comey has to answer to this. He waffled in Hillary by presenting all the Hillary evidence but no pressing charges. Then re-opening the investigation. Hillary blames him for the loss ad Trump asked him to stay on. But there is something to this whole thing

See The Last Refuge for Sundance chronology, answering all your questions.

Atlanta Olympics, 1996:

An overweight security guard Richard Jewell finds a bomb in a crowded Atlanta park, an act of terror. He alerts the cops, but the bomb goes off and a desperate Bill Clinton facing a reelection bid ORDERS the FBI to simplify things by making Richard Jewell the perp.

Knowing Richard Jewell revers “real cops” the FBI brings him in for questioning, finally pretending to relent and accept his story of innocence. They then flattered him and lowered his guard by chatting him up in grand style like A Law Enforcement Colleague.

The FBI then claimed to Jewell that they were making a Training Videotape simulation in which a perp under questioning breaks down and confresses to a bombing, “Ah shucks, our actor crapped out, got sick, say Richard, would ya help us FBI guys out..?”

A micrometer away from consenting to help them with their “training video”, Jewell suddenly realizes if he cooperated with “his friends”, they might turn around use the tape against him in the world famous bombing that just transpired.

He calls his ex-roomate, a lawyer, who admonishes Jewell that he’s in very grave danger. He leaves the FBI questioning and AVOIDS LIFE IN PRISON BY A WHISKER.

YOUR FBI IS **FINE** ACTING AS AN INSTRUMENT OF POLITICAL TERROR.

It started at least 20 years ago.

...hmmmmm.....

hang with me....

And even more so, once the criminal BS starts to show itself, the Bernie crowd will run so fast and far away from Hillary and Obama!

This could be YUGE!

[Big Giant Head]

He was talking about it last spring, I think. I am thinking he just has hard evidence now.

[gaijin]

You have a problem with the way we work at the FBI...?

Perhaps you WISH TO FILE A COMPLAINT..?!

[ransomnote]

There’s an “off” tone to the Dummies in the Swamp about this. Most seem to be confused by it but one notes that the response from Obama’s forces is “carefully worded” noting that Obama never ordered surveillance against a “US citizen.” So that’s where he’s chosen to grab and hold on. The first FISA request included Trump’s name in an unknown (to us) context and was rejected. The second FISA was narrower in scope and did not include any mention of Trump’s name. That one was approved - so Obama is claiming since there was never a successful FISA against Trump that included his name, Obama is “innocent”. One swamp sap notes that others on DU are saying there should have been zero response from Obama’s camp.

[Professional]

The Bernie crowd, to save the party, is going to betray and get revenge on Hillary/Obama.

Holy cow...
