President Trump touted a report saying the FBI under ex-Pres Obama spied on the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential race, saying that the revelation could be "bigger than Watergate."
“Wow, word coming out that the Obama FBI 'SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN IMBEDDED INFORMANT,'" the president tweeted in reference to a National Review report published last week.“Andrew McCarthy says, 'There’s probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.' If so, this is bigger than Watergate!”
The report alleges that Obama-led agencies used their surveillance powers to monitor the Trump campaign.
This is not the first time that the Obama administration has been accused of spying on the Trump campaign. Last year, Trump accused the former president of wiretapping Trump Tower shortly before the 2016 election. “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped,' in Trump Tower just before victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!" the president tweeted in March 2017.
"The president used the word 'wiretap' in quotes to mean broadly surveillance and other activities during that," former WH press secretary, Sean Spicer, said. "There is no question that during the Obama administration, there were actions about surveillance, and other activities, that occurred in the 2016 elections."
Agreed 100%!
of course, the big difference is the MSM covered Watergate 24/7 for years.
shun the FakeNewsMSM.
The Obama/Hillary/Comey/Brennan conspiracy in 2016 was different--there was a real contest and the conspiracy was meant to ensure the right person won.
Barack Obama was never eligible to be President and BOTH parties knew it.
Not one of our elected or appointed stood up for the Constitution.
It is so much worse than most people think.
“The crimes at the tail end of the Kenyanesian Usurpation pale in comparison to the crimes committed before that and the violation of our Constitution by BOTH parties.”
I think we would both agree that it was an 8 year long treason regime. It should surprise no one that America is in this state after true-believing marxists, maoists and muslims were in charge of the executive branch for that long. We had an illegitimate enemy combatant named, Barack Hussein Osama(Obama is swahili for osama), as commander in chief of our armed forces. If that’s not a death knell for America, I don’t know what is...
Both parties colluded to bring us the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Obama could not have done what he did without the cooperation of the GOP.
Agreed
bkmk
Weak Tweet this time, Mr. President. There is a multitude of offenses committed by this criminal cabal, each far surpassing Watergate.
Agree 100% !!!
Barry’s head should be on a pike when this is over.
Watergate = Romper Room
I’ve thought about the reverse. Whatever it is that they end up being known to have gotten away with, Trump should do exactly the same in 2020.
Yes, in parts....
And the reason nothing will come of this is because the informant and the Attorney General have the same last name.
COULD BE???
Had Trump lost to Clinton she would have destroyed him and his financial empire in short order. She’s still working it....
Nixon and CREEP wanted a landslide and that tripped them up?
( not according to g gordon liddy )
The watergate breakin was a john dean operation to see if there was anything tp connect him to his hooker looker
In any event, CREEP did other things besides the Watergate bugging that were dubious ethically, whether illegal or not, and not necessary.
Of course if we knew all the shenanigans perpetrated by earlier Democratic campaigns they would probably put Watergate in the shade.
