‘This is Nixon/Watergate’: Trump Accuses Obama Of Wire Tapping Trump Tower Before Election
yahoo.com ^ | March 4, 2017

Posted on 03/04/2017 5:46:48 AM PST by Helicondelta

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.

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

NO!

Anything less is like taking two penicillin tablets to fight a life threatening infection.

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.

Six months ago I would have agreed with you on that.

Now I'm not so sure. His Twitter messages will get a lot more exposure than any other method he could use to get this message out ... other than perhaps sending Ronald McDonald and the Geico lizard out there to carry the message in a TV/YouTube ad campaign.

“If the president of the United States is making these kinds of allegations concerning another president of the United States he at least has a basic obligation to tell us the facts of his allegations and make them clear. He simply has not done so.”

Much too hydra-headed. Do you know of any scandal of this magnitude that has been presented to the public all wrapped up and ready for submission to a court of law? Sort of reminds me of the alleged Russian hacking of the election. No one has bothered to explain just how that can be accomplished. Forget offering any evidence.

I just heard Geraldo Rivera say that “everyone” knows the Russians intervened in the election. He even said that Trump has even acknowledged as much himself.

“He can deny doing it,or ordering it,Because his Mommy Valerie Jarrett probably was running it.”

If that statement is correct, you can bet that obama will make sure everyone else’s hands are dirty and his are clean. He is a bully and a coward in my opinion. But I do hope that President Trump goes through and gets rid of ANY OBAMA HOLD OVERS ASAP, e.g. TODAY, FOR HIS OWN GOOD.

What was the evidence they presented to the court. If it was renewed in October, then it must have originally been approved sometime after they were shot down in June. Was it based on a Trump surrogate (Sen. Jeff Sessions) having met with a Russian diplomat in July? If so this whole thing was a set -up...

Nothing should surprise anyone here on FreeRepublic after Donald Trump called out John McCain as a fake "war hero" last summer, and still derides him occasionally on Twitter as a life-long loser. The man knows no limits, and will fight fire with fire.

P.S. -- I was not a Trump supporter at first during the 2016 primaries, but that McCain spat really put Trump at the top of my list.

What’s he going to do about it?

Well 6 months to year from now, you’re going to see indictments, grand juries, special prosecutors, and likely many DUmb Dems heading to jail on a righteous rail.

We can support Trump and get the data below out to our friends, relatives and other sites.

“4. October: FISA request. The Obama administration submits a new, narrow request to the FISA court, now focused on a computer server in Trump Tower suspected of links to Russian banks. No evidence is found — but the wiretaps continue, ostensibly for national security reasons, Andrew McCarthy at National Review later notes. The Obama administration is now monitoring an opposing presidential campaign using the high-tech surveillance powers of the federal intelligence services.”

Your comment assumes that President Trump does NOT have a campaign of systematic presentation of evidence lined up. I share the concern that this be done correctly but we will have to see what follows in the coming hours and days before we can determine whether this morning’s tweets were wise. If he has all his ducks in a row (as I hope and expect) then these few tweets are simply “preparing the battlefield” for what is to come.... get the MSM scrambling today to develop their stories, dominate the Sunday talking head shows, and crush the Obamanation and Democraps once and for all with the onslaught of evidence. At least, that is what we can HOPE and expect is coming now.

...the Russian election thingie...

And what exactly is the Russian election "thingie"? What is the Left alleging Trump and/or his people did? Is whatever they are alleging even possible?

1. We do not have one single election. We have 51 (50 states and DC).

2. Every state has their own method of conducting elections, and most (if not all) conduct them at the county level of management. Some counties use electronic means. Others still use paper ballots. None use a method connected to the internet.

3. There are 3,141 counties and county equivalents in the 50 States and DC.

4. So are we to believe the scurrilous allegation that the Russians literally hacked the election when our methods and jurisdictions are so diffuse and different?

5. What the Left is actually attempting to get people to believe is that Trump and/or his people colluded with the Russians to leak the Clinton and Podesta emails.

6. So far they have not produced a shred of evidence that anything even remotely like that happened. If they had such evidence, they would have produced it prior to the election in an attempt to guarantee a Clinton win.

So using simple logic and common sense, this entire Russian "thingie" is a completely fabricated lie. I do not put it past the Obama crowd to literally create evidence of some kind of paper or electronic trail, but it is all a lie of monumental proportions.
