I think it said somewhere in the article that Obama tried to get a wiretap on Trump but a judge denied it. I wonder if the judge and Trump had a talk. It's not hard to place a wiretap with a court order through the telephone company but there are other ways he could have been wire tapped if someone had access to some of closets with the telephone with the wiring blocks. All they'd have to do is know which pairs to clip their bugging device to. It would run on batteries or hours and they'd just sit outside in a monitoring post listening. I imagine the cell phone was first choice though. If it were tapped without approval it wouldn't surprise me if he tried another source. Only the ends justies the means to the lefties. As long as they don't get caught, it didn't happen.
I was thinking this...
Obama asks for wiretap, judge says no. Obama’s people set up the Russian meeting with the politicians (September?). Then Obama and his people start talking up rumors of Russian hacking, Russian “involvement” us US politics. Obama goes back with this allegations to a judge. Judge signs off on FISA wiretap order to investigate this Russian ruse.
Crazy? Yes. But we are talking about Obama and his people. They would do anything to get what they want.
Pretty much all telephone communication is digitized and run through computers. That’s how NSA works. They get a data feed to sort through.
