"Baffling as it may be, it appears Trump’s accusation stems from a recent article published on Breitbart."

Lot of people view this as rather odd, including Cato Institute fellow Julian Sanchez, since the POTUS "doesn’t need to get his information about classified activity from Breitbart."

This is a serious claim and Trump needs to produce the evidence to back it up.

While we are all holding our breath waiting for that to happen, perhaps Congress could insist on it.

At the very least, one of the committees should be looking into what the FISA requests were all about.

Again, I see no problem with "investigating" Obama since any criminal proceeding would need to establish the chain of custody and the genesis of the investigation anyway.
They have been investigating this thing even when Obama in office. They are yet to show anyone colluding with Russians to fix elections. They didn't even charge Flynn. Are we suppose to still believe in this rumors? It is better to consider all this Russian and wire tapping allegations as a rumors. Until FBI comes out, no one knows what is inside. FBI provided update to house committee about this Russian story. There is nothing reported so far. Now democrats accusing FBI of withholding information.

So are you saying that these judges are under some kind of "mind control" by the person who appointed them?
It certainly wouldn't be the first time someone who's appointed goes off the rails or does something contrary to the person who appointed them beliefs is it?

Let's bring Obama in. Have him testify to Congress. We are all very interested in hearing about what he knows, when he knew it, and what he did. I'd also like to hear from the FBI and CIA about what they've found.

FBI guy is holding all the cards. They are not showing anything so far. Even congressional committees doesn't have anything so far. There was a MSM news about Obama team applying for FISA request which got denied. Now whole MSM guys runs with rumors from unnamed sources. Basically FBI is holding all the information.

Exactly.

An independent prosecutor leading a full investigation would be just the ticket.

We need to get to the bottom of this so we can move on.

Of all the times Donald Trump has embarrassed himself, this false wiretap accusation is going to come with some real consequences.

He does post stupid comments. Every one spends time talking about it for few days. If it is False, Twitter should ban him. That will be very funny.
