Dems and Rinos and MSM doing their thing!!! THEY ARE BIAS!!!
The investigation is regarding Russians hacking into our election process not specifically Trump.
The only person that has stated that Obama wiretapped Trump was Trump himself, maybe he could get Sessions, Pompeo or McMaster to clear this up.

Actually others have said it by now including people who were in the Obama administration. What remains is the legality and what they did with the information.

This can be word-weaseled until the cows come home. But if the 'intelligence community' leaks about various Trump people having conversations/meeting with Russians during the campaign and the transition are true, and that information was leaked; then one has to be honest and ask if the act of 'leaking' that 'intelligence' information is itself illegal and orchestrated by holdover Obama administration forces?

Further, the very first question to ask is, What exactly has anyone on the Trump team done that is illegal? And no, an investigation there is not the needed answer. It is the intelligence community and anonymous sources that need investigating.

Ultimately, this is all 1950s Red Scare type orchestrated hysteria. A real shame the liberal progressives have nothing other than this comical Laurel and Hardy parody of McCarthyism. The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!

Not specifically Trump, so you mean Obama promising Putin more flexibility after the election if the don't make any waves prior to, as Romney was mean to Russia...?

Very difficult question. Obama has little history of meddling with tapping. If there is at least some proof about FISA court order, I think it is pretty sure he did it. There are some rumors about DOJ trying with FISA order. All of them are rumors.

Your boy Obama has made it clear, he intends to stay in Washington and cause trouble. What's so hard to figure out what's going on here?

Show us the evidence please. Anyone can make an accusation or allegation about anyone else.





At this point, proof may be a missing hard drive(s) / documents of the sort we saw disappear during the Tea Party / IRS investigation, but that's OK because information already leaked by Obama holdovers shows spying did occur.


Besides, the Obama administration (include Clinton) made concealing / destroying evidence a matter of habit, so I consider them guilty until proven innocent.

You can't just get an FISA warrant to bug someone's communications. Criteria need to be met before a judge will sign off on this, and if a judge did sign off on this it means that there is significant evidence that Trump could be involved in criminal activity.

Edit: IMO what I think really happened is that the Feds were monitoring the calls of a 3rd party (ie: perhaps Russian agents or people suspected of being such) and during this process they came across Trump being in communication with whoever they were snooping on.

If there was a wiretap that was obtained through proper channels, it IS OKAY.

And, I say that no matter who requested whatever wiretap, whenever it was requested. Forever. Until the end of the universe.
