Looks as if even Obama's staff admits that it existed.

Sure, with three verified links so far in Flynn, Sessions and Kuschner. Trump is a master distractor so the timing of these tweets is no surprise.

And then who authorized it? If it was authorized by FISA, it is perfectly legal; that is the purpose of the FISA court. If the FBI asked for it, that is not Obama, that is a law enforcement agency that is charged with enforcing US laws. If a law is being broken, it does not matter if it was Trump or who it was.

There are lots of questions here. The biggest is what exactly was going on that prompted the FBI (or CIA) to believe that someone had broken US laws, and furthermore that the wrong doing was serious enough to overcome the high bar that would be set if it were Trump or his staff.

Obama has high integrity. Trump does not; that came out over and over in the campaign. I believe he is still going through litigation for all the money he ripped off from his Trump University scam. I give the benefit of doubt to Obama on this.

I don't think so, Obama does not have high integrity, if anything I would bet my money he's behind this. Illegal or not, he knew he is on his way out.

Three "links" with nothing there. Democrats and Republicans meet with Russian officials all the time.

What else do liberals have on Trump?

Trump is sounding more and more like Nixon. Paranoid, delusional. Soon to be out of office.

Under Obama we had the I.R.S. scam, audits on Republican organizations.

then under Obama, the NSA was taping the conversations of our allies, like the Chancellor of Germany and other leaders.

but you all are shocked that Obama could have order the wiretapping of Trump Towers during the election? LOL
