Earlier this morning, Trump took to Twitter to express his outrage over wiretapping at Trump Tower during Obama’s Presidency. Back in November, the media did confirm that wiretapping did allegedly take place, via Heat Street:
Contrary to earlier reporting in the New York Times, which cited FBI sources as saying that the agency did not believe that the private server in Donald Trump’s Trump Tower which was connected to a Russian bank had any nefarious purpose, the FBI’s counter-intelligence arm, sources say, re-drew an earlier FISA court request […].

I’m also concerned if part of this is coming from Mark Levin. He definitely does not have Trump’s best interest in mind and I would not put it past him and others to set a trap for Trump to discredit him maybe cause him to resign if they could pull it off. I don’t trust the sources and their agendas.
It was undoubtedly to related to Wikileaks exposing the Podesta files of the entire Clinton Campaign.
Wire taps were sought against Donald Trump, civilian, in June, last summer, and were rejected by the FISA court. The administration was trying to link Trump into the fiasco for Hillary, and blame Trump for the Russian phishing attempt on Podesta’s computer, believing the Russians spilled to Wikileaks.
The Democrats Obama clones set up Trump to blame for the Clinton Campaign stupidity falling for the phishing attempt and gave the Russians access to the computer. Crazy, I know, but her campaign was dying and they were all desperate to take down TRUMP since they could not elevate Hillary.
what I recall is that Jewell eventually suicided.
I suspect Trump finally has enough resources in place to confirm whether or not the Obama admin did in fact get a wiretapping request approved.
Under FISA, the President may authorize wiretapping for 1 year WITHOUT a court order:

I agree. Trump must have evidence or he would not come out with this.
I dont think that big merger is going through because of CNN....I would bet money on it!
> “... cited FBI sources as saying that the agency did not believe that the private server in Donald Trump’s Trump Tower ***which was connected*** to a Russian bank ...”
Good grief, we have some really dense people reporting in our day and age.
1. Earlier, it was reported the FISA warrant request described a ***possible*** connection to a Russian Bank.
2. All FISA warrant requests must have an international foreign party. Otherwise, a warrant request must go through US Courts or an international court.
3. The report from Gateway Pundit, an outfit whose products I generally subscribe to, writes in a manner that there is no question that a server in Trump Tower “was connected to” a Russian Bank.
4. Now how does anyone know what was in the FISA warrant request?
5. Trump Tower Manhattan is a big place zoned for mixed use, 68 stories, 10 stories for the base atrium as part of 26 stories for offices and stores, 39 stories for residences comprising 270 condominiums and then the Trump Organization and the personal Penthouse of Donald Trump occupying the top 3 floors. All the floor heights are taller than comparable building heights so the total height of the building is more than 68 typical stories.
5. The largest Chinese government-controlled bank ‘The Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd.’ operates in the Trump Tower. It is highly probable, as in with probability one, that this bank has a server tied to a Russian bank and with many many other banks around the world.
6. A FISA warrant request for tapping Trump Tower based on a ‘server linked to a Russian Bank’ would give, in light of one of the largest banks in the world operating inside Trump Tower, carte blanche to launch a giant fishing expedition for monitoring all communications, transactions, correspondence and file packets coming into and going out of the building ASSOCIATED WITH THE BANK IN QUESTION. Communications intercepted from the Trump Campaign and from Donald Trump’s personal residence WOULD BE ILLEGAL unless there were probable cause to believe the Trump Campaign and Donald Trump were involved in the Chinese bank’s communication with a Foreign bank
7. If the FBI/NSA did, in fact, monitor the Trump’s campaign and personal communications, then that is a crime.
8. Gateway Pundit writes:
“The original FISA request which specifically named and broadly targeted Donald Trump was denied, a second request was redrafted months later which narrowed down on equipment in Trump Tower. The second request is said to have been granted, despite the fact that FBI sources did not believe these servers to be of actual national security or possess any illegal ties to Russia.”
NARROWED DOWN TO EQUIPMENT IN TRUMP TOWER.
That would very likely be the Chinese Bank’s servers linked to Russian Banks and other banks which is normal for international banks.
9. If President Trump has evidence of Obama’s FBI listening to his campaign or his personal communications, then he has evidence of a felony committed by the Obama Administration.
10. Fact: if the Trump Administration has evidence of an Obama conspiracy to violate the law, the Obama underlings will likely agree to a plea deal in exchange for testimony leading to Lynch, Jarrett and others at the highest level. If any of Obama’s inner circle turn evidence on Obama, Obama may be the first President in US history to be charged with a felony.
My sense is that President Trump will decide to either prosecute Obama and all his minions. or reach a deal with them in return for enormous, massive political concessions. Either way, the democrats and their progressive socialism era will be brought to an end.
n June 2016, FISA court DENIED when Obama’s DOJ/FBI requested a wiretap with ‘Trump’s name in the request. But later, in October 2016 they removed the name ‘Trump’ from the DOJ request and modified the request to wiretap the ‘server’. This time FISA court granted a warrant to Obamas DOJ/FBI.
The real scandal is Obama’s DOJ/FBI/WH MISUSED this second FISA warrant to wiretap Trump and Trumps aides’ phones. This is illegal and Obama’s DOJ/FBI/WH violated FISA court order. It took ~5 hours for Obama to issue this hair-splitting reply to Trump’s tweet charges. That speaks volume. He didn’t deny FISA warrants. When Congress investigates the FBI/DOJ the truth will come out.
LOL. Yep, I'm going with typical mind numbing bias...
“I see no sign of victory. I don’t even see a hint of push back from the Justice Department to engage.”
I would venture to guess Sessions just put the staples in his stapler, and has not yet hung any pictures in his office.
All of the Democrat charges are intended to slow the confirmation process of the thousands of appointees yet to be confirmed, AND to stymy those who just got to office.
I think Trump grows tired of the games and the lies, and is about to put on the brass knuckles and start cracking skulls.
When is the Grand Jury meeting to indict Obama?
FOX is prefacing it with “no evidence” when they mention it, too.
Notice the absolute 180 change when ANDNC reports on Obama vs Trump? The defense attorney for Bozo and prosecutor for Trump. You can bet Trump knows what happened now.
Pray America woke
Bttt
He may have known immediately that the place was bugged. He has good security. But he didn't have the evidence. Looks like he has the evidence now.
Obama liked to say he controls everything
