If you see a corpse on the sidewalk with three bullet holes, you can reasonably assume that a murder was committed. You may not know who did it. You may not know how it was done or if somebody gave the order to shoot but you know a murder happened.
In the same way, we know the President’s campaign was spied upon by elements of the FBI (an Executive Office branch of the Department of Justice), the CIA (independent but co-answerable to the Legislative Branch and the Executive Branch) and the NSA (an office of the Department of Defense accountable to the Executive Branch).
Who is the CEO (as it were) of the Executive Branch? President Donald J. Trump. He has every right to call for an examination of these agencies to determine what was the genesis of the spying, who authorized the spying and who performed the spying.
It is perfectly legal for President Trump to name the Attorney General to lead the investigation.
If George W. Bush had authorized wiretaps on candidate Obama back in 2008 for alleged associations with America’s enemies, the Democrats would be outraged and would demand answers to how this brazen attack on democracy happened and what can be done to ensure it doesn’t happen again. But since the candidate here was Trump and the Executive Office was being run by Obama, the ACLU and other watchdogs are totally silent about such abuses. Worse, they scream “outrage” when the victim seeks answers.
Justice calls for that.
Justice calls for that.
Genius LOL
