We are talking about a world shaking constitutional crisis in which former Democrat operatives, not excluding the president of the United States, can go to jail. When the sitting president of the United States makes allegations of this degree of seriousness and magnitude concerning his predecessor in office, by name, it is incumbent on him to come out from behind the 145 characters and justify the accusations.
That is not to say that there is no basis for the accusations, that is not to say that there are not plenty of dots which might be connected, that is not to say that all manner of profound questions arise concerning the propriety of snooping on a presidential candidate by an opposition party and still maintaining a democracy. The whole idea of bugging an American citizen, much less a presidential candidate and a President-elect, failing to maintain the confidentiality of the data produced according to law, actually committing a crime in leaking the information, coupled with an executive order proliferating the hands into which the information would be delivered, even without malicious motive, requires exhaustive inquiry and prosecutions where warranted.
The charge is profoundly serious, serious people want serious evidence.
