Wiretapping the nominee of one’s opposition party leading up to the election should be a criminal offense in our republic. This is truly Nixonian...
Yes, it should be illegal, but it is not if permission is obtained from the FISA Court.
That is how and why the whole Russian theme came to be. In had to be substantial to get the FISA Court to authorize the wiretap.
The “crime” was not in getting the wiretap. Barky did it legally. The crime was using false information to substantiate and request it. Obama’s court denied it the first time and he narrowed the request (probably as advised) and resubmitted it.

Nixonian? Nixon didn't order the attempted wiretaps on Watergate.
Wiretapping any American Citizen without a warrant is already a crime. This is OBAMANIAN.
Nixon was an angel compared to Obama.
