McCain: Trump Must Prove Wiretapping or Retract Claims
Newsmax ^ | 3/12/2017 | Sandy Fitzgerald

President Donald Trump must provide the American people, not just the Senate Intelligence Committee, with proof of his claims that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower, and if he doesn't have the proof, he needs to retract his statements, Sen. John McCain said Sunday.

"If his predecessor violated the law, President Obama violated the law, we've got a serious issue here, to say the least," McCain told CNN's "State of the Union" program, while pointing out that he himself has no reason to believe the allegations are true.

MacCain needs to prove he’s sane before he makes anymore comments.

McCain, the paid lackey of the uber-fundamentalist Wahabi-Sunni of Saudi Arabia needs to resign.

Excellent point.

McCain was nowhere to be found demanding the Media prove
Trump’s connections to Russia.

McCain should have to prove he did not sand bag to get Obama elected in 2008 or he should be for hanged for treason.

How fortunate he was captured by the Viet Cong before the Navy ran out of planes.

Snicker.

Oooo, McCain has spoken.

Trump must be quaking in his boots.

Who died and left him in charge that he feels he gets to issue ultimatums?

John McCain is a DIABLO (Democrat in all but label only). How and why the turd continues to be elected by the people of Arizona, is a mystery to me. I can only imagine that Dems must cross over to vote for him every cycle.

Setting aside the usual McCain grandstanding: he might be right about this, politically. OTOH, maybe McCain can’t add 2+2 and get 4. Did it ever occur to him that Obama’s efforts at tapping Trump might have left a paper trail that Trump’s appointees are now finding?

Totally Agree. Trump will release his evidence after the worthless senate finishes their investigation. I hope its quicker than a ISSA investigation...7 years later.

Wouldn’t the proof of the wiretapping be classified - is this actually something Trump shouldn’t reveal?

Although these days not too much info seems to be protected...

Fortunately, McCain doesn’t have to prove he’s an asshole.

Integrate that thought process with the current search for leakers and in my mind it kind of connects some dots possibly.

What do you expect from a POS who sold out his fellow prisoners more than once - first for cushy treatment, and then to protect his political career.

I'm reserving a bowel movement for this guy's final resting spot.

I suspect others will "visit" before me, so I'll wear boots I can throw away...

The bigger question is why the hell does our party, and many Republicans in the base, keep supporting this asshole.

"our party"

Bob, you know darn well there is only one party.
