Following reports that Donald Trumps former campaign chairman was under surveillance, Fox News pundits jumped to the presidents defense Tuesday, asserting that his claims the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Tower have now been vindicated. Yet they couldnt be more wrong, said legal experts.
It all goes back to Trumps tweet on March 4 that he found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism! Trump also compared it to Nixon/Watergate, when President Richard Nixon attempted to bug the Democratic Party headquarters.
Defending Trumps months-old claim, Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson said Tuesday: Not everything the president says on Twitter is factually accurate. But to anyone who has been in Washington for a while, that claim didn't seem crazy or really that unlikely.

All of the communication wires in Trump Tower belong to Donald Trump so, in fact, his wires were tapped in his tower by agents of the Obama administration just as he clamed. So Obama's lawyers can go eff themselves.
The ‘Rats need to 9rove that Trump was not under any kind of surveillence directly by the IC or indirectly by other countries who then forwarded any intel to the US IC.
Brennen, KKKlapper and Comey are weasels.
Same outfit that suppressed the Monica Lewinsky story.
Isakoff was told to hold off and got scooped by Drudge about the blue dress evidence.
They are experts in piles and piles stuff -- HORSE MANURE.
Or is it COW MANURE.
Of course, the source of this is none other than: NewsWEAK -- so weak on truth...
“legal experts” can go #### themselves, but being lawyers, they might like that.
If Trump was talking with foreign agents who were under FBI surveillance,”
No, the FBI used the fake dossier to spy on Manafort so they could spy on Trump, the real target.
They are human waste.
In the words of Richard Pryor, paraphrased from Groucho Marx, “Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?”
How Spikey got his nickname...
LOL! “Legal experts”. Sound more like Obama trenchermen - get their names from keeping their noses so far up his “trench” that their world view is focused into a single pucker....
Newsweak is very fake news.
How can they, using legal expertise, slam fox for saying something trump said was right, when trump’s statement was so vague that it could be pretty much right in most cases?
Answer: They are politically motivated and don’t want him to be perceived as even remotely close to accurate about what happened.
found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
I’m a binary thinker so this is easy for me.
Were wires IN THE TRUMP TOWER tapped? If the answer is “yes”, trump was right.
Were they still being tapped just before the victory? If the answer is yes, trump was right.
His wording was downright sneaky, intentional or otherwise.
