Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday raised questions about President Trump's claims that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower before the election.
In an interview on NBC's "Meet The Press," Schumer said Obama has "flatly denied that he has done this."
"And either way, Chuck, the president's in trouble. If he falsely spread this kind of misinformation, that is so wrong," Schumer said.
"It's beneath the dignity of the presidency. It is something that really hurts people's view of government."
Schumer said if this is the case, it shows the president doesn't know how to "conduct himself."
"On the other hand, if it's true, it's even worse for the president," Schumer said. "Because that means that a federal judge, independently elected, has found probable cause that the president, or people on his staff, have probable cause to have broken the law or to have interacted with a foreign agent."
Schumer called that possibility "serious stuff."

Foreign intelligence services have handed over recordings and transcripts of Trump camp colluding with Russia, and info is new. 9:51 AM - 5 Mar 2017
This must be the back-up plan McLettuce had with MI5 and that agent for the Brits to also tap Trump.
hey chuck, those FISA judges are appointed, not elected.
They come from the existing judge pool and their FISA terms are rotated.

“”It’s beneath the dignity of the presidency. It is something that really hurts people’s view of government.”” Sorry Schumer, Obama did that over that eight years. He is a proven liar, IRS, Benghasi, Iran Nuke deal etc. There is only one way to go after Obama and that is up.
Actually, since nothing was obviously found or it would have been used against Trump already, the FISA info should have been DELETED ... no one should have been leaked any of that info. Either it’s so classified because something IS going on, or it’s not & it’s deleted. It doesn’t work both ways. Obama/DOJ changed the rules so they could spread info all over the government BEFORE privacy protections were in place & then it was reported (by non-conservatives - see NY Times, Post, McClatchey, etc.) that the WH was saving info, lowering classification on info, etc. so it could be “found”, leaked & used against Trump. Per FISA, this would all be strictly ILLEGAL. Sorry Schmucky, the one in trouble is the FORMER president & his staff .......BIGLY.
For reference to the trouble that could ensue:
Yes, There Could Be Serious Legal Problems if Obama Admin Involved in Illegal Surveillance

Still trying to create that perception. They say perception is reality, but you can twist perception; reality won’t budge.
This here, Chuck, is what we in flyover country, call a last ditch attempt at trying to keep the sh*t storm from spraying all over you, by distraction. Not fallin’ for it, Chuck. The jig is up. Your boy’s government has been caught by the short hairs (again), but THIS time, he doesn’t have a justice department to collude with.
Wasn’t he the guy who instead of taking a leadership role after 9/11 deferred to party politics and took a back seat to the junior Senator from New York ( Hillary )? Why should we believe a word that he says about anything?
The linked article details Schumer’s delusional statement: “Trump’s in big trouble because we used a bunch of lies in an affidavit to get a corrupt judge to sign off on a wiretap of his HQ during the campaign with the intent to leak incriminating information to Clinton!!!”
The only blood in the water dems could possibly sense would be their own. They are finished.
This Louise Mensch tweet. Here comes McLettuces’ attack.
the request to surveil the server was probably just to cover their asses for the warrantless wiretapping once it was clear that Trump might actually win. When he did win, they immediately jumped on the Trump-Russia collusion narrative because they knew it was only a matter of time before Trump figured out that they were spying on him. They were trying to get ahead of the scandal.
What’s happening is that the truth is being revealed: That the only interfering that went on in this election was by Democrats, from top on down.
ok so let me see if I’ve got this correct, chucky
only 2 options are possible
1. Trump is guilty of lying about Obama criminally abusing his power by tapping Trump’s phone lines.
or
2. Obama tapped Trump’s phone lines therefore proving Trump is criminally guilty of something.
lol
I wonder how much patience Trump has with these seditious A-HOLES and whether in his business dealings,he ever came across anyone who knew a guy, who knew a guy who did "wet work". Just wondering.
Is that “Crying” Chuck Schumer?
I have heard time and time again that 17 agencies have reported about Russia, and not one specific agency has been mentioned , or even asked about this.
Where is the list of these 17 agencies?
They say, “Wiretaps didn’t happen” then they say they want access to the transcripts.
