‘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.

I don’t think so. 72 hours from now at 10 AM, Trump’s Deputy AG and also Trump’s 3rd in charge of the DOJ have their confirmation hearings scheduled.

Thanks for your remarks. We have seen Trump time after nail bastards like McCain, Jebbie, GW and others during last year’s election.

This is just another example of Trump having the data and Tweeting it to avoid his mediot enemies.

“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.”

It was approved by a later court in October. It was turned down earlier as the tweet indicates.

Sessions’ recusal doesn’t apply here.

I didn’t like his wasting tweets on rants about TV commentators or has-been actresses ...

Neither did I. I love his Twitter strategy when it comes to politics ... but when he posts misspelled words and/or messages about some jackass in the entertainment business who I never heard of, then he comes across like -- well, a jackass in the entertainment business.

And I also stated on this thread I’d bet that Obama started his wiretaps before he even got any court order. Obama is that crooked.

I find it so funny that Trump is still so intimidated by President Obama even months after taking office. Yet, with everything that is going wrong in his administration Trump is again in Florida to golf this weekend.

Most presidents get their information from sources like the NSA or CIA, but this president gets his from the truly reliable sources like The Drudge Report and Breitbart. The most pathetic president ever.

Best Presidential honeymoon 90 days ever!

Yeah, and we are only about halfway to that 90 day point!

Each day will bring more disasters on the rats from Obama to the hired $orea$$ posters on the internet.

David Muir and Scott Pelley are writing their opening lines for the evening news:

“Trump has NO proof that Obama tapped his phones.” We now go to our reporter, Suzie Leftwing:

“That’s right, David, Trump has not provided any proof whatsoever that Obama did anything wrong. Inside sources say that Trump may be having a mental breakdown. Back to you, David.”

I would suggest that you go to the site below re FISA attemps and final approval for the Obama thugs NSA/FBI? to spy on Trump’s communication in Trump Tower/NYC. Of course it will be a waste of time. However, here it is.

“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.

I think Obama and his entire team around him (Lynch included) all gauged Trump as minor-league and would never figure out all the things they’d done.

At this point, the Senate will have no choice but to have hearings about this and drag Lynch into the middle of this. Chris Christie might get the call to be a special prosecutor. They could shuffle the IRS business and the Uranium sale in 2010 all into this package for investigation.

CNN reporting now (Breaking News no less) that a former (Obama) official denies Donald Trump’s phones were tapped. Official adds: “It’s false, wrong.”
