So why would Trump Tower be bugged PRIOR to the election, an election that in everyone’s estimation was going to be won by Hillary Clinton, thus rendering DJT powerless?

Just in case. Besides, internals caused Hillary to cancel the fireworks in NYC, remember?

Ben Rhodes just tweeted back that ‘presidents can’t order wire taps and if they could it would be to protect Americans from PEOPLE LIKE YOU’.

Obama bugged Trump Tower PRIOR to the election that everyone thought Hillary-It's-Your-Turn would win....

Just goes to show the paranoia Obama and Hillary were dealing with knowing they might be unmasked.

Laz commented that her internals caused Hillary to cancel the celebratory fireworks day before the election.

Yet, I think they knew well ahead of election day that Hillary was dead meat. Secy Hillary had zillions of photo-ops w/ world leaders to burnish her candidate credentials....but none of them were used.

They decided to use wire-taps in desperation....to, hopefully, get something on Trump.

I don’t know. My sense is that they wanted to know what Trump had on “them” after Hillary won.
