I often wonder how much they are trying to project away from their own illegal acts to avoid investigation. If they keep Trump on the defense, perhaps they think they can keep the investigations off the obama admin.
Politics 101 - they absolutely do this and in light of the bombshell that was dropped today the “Russians” make far more sense today given the absolute lack of evidence or facts that support all of the hysteria. Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and others have said there is no evidence of Trump ties with “the Russians” yet the left continues to beat the drum. We now appear to have our answer!
They did think Hillary would win. That is obvious to everyone, but perhaps they made a last ditch effort to dig up dirt before the election and that would be for political reasons. However, the real problem for them may not be the “investigation” itself, but what was done with the information gathered (that had nothing to do with the investigation) and how long did this continue? At the point Trump won the election it was “put up or shut up” on the secret criminal investigation. If the partisan hacks in the system used the data for political purposes and not the criminal investigation they committed felony crimes.
There is no way Trump sends out the tweets this morning without real evidence. Much like the mafia, it is hard to get the person in charge, but naming Obama specifically tells me that Trump has evidence sufficient in his mind to make such a charge. Proving Obama knew might be difficult, but there are a whole host of individuals between Obama and whomever tapped the phone lines. There is a paper trail through the FISA court that the executive branch does not control. The real crime may not be the “investigation” that reportedly according to people in the know “found no evidence”. The real crime might be what they did with the monitored conversations during the campaign and transition. Who had access or was privy to this?
Was this a criminal investigation or political eavesdropping that would be a criminal act?

They shouldn't be allowed to bury this!
How would they be able to prove differently? For instance, would they be able to say ‘oh it was for legal concerns as an excuse to monitor, but with every intention to use the information politically?
