Barack Obama bugged Donald Trump's phone before the election through a secret FISA warrant, using the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in order to gain access to the Trump campaign's communications. This is prior to the election of Trump and could only have been collected to use against Trump in the campaign; but the taps remained live. That's a paper trail leading back to Obama... "Huge Soviet level wrong-doing!". [video=youtube;2ynb3xidJOg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ynb3xidJOg[/video]
Ok. So put wire taps on Obama. Put wire taps on every single high level Democrat in this country. They want to play this game? Lets take it pro.
So then Trump should declassify the warrant and release it. That would solve a good bit of the debate. Don't hold your breath though. Trump isn't particularly good at following through on the bold bull(*)(*)(*)(*) claims that he promotes...
Exactly. If Trump doesn't declassify the warrant, all of the ranting and ravings (as exhibited in the OP) by Trump's delusional Fever Swamp adherents are just total BS.
I see lots of trouble ahead for Obama. Perhaps he was the one behind the Hillary leaks as well. There is a lot of leaking going on.
Obama is going to be laughing his butt off at all of this misinformed RW Fever Swamp BS. In the meantime, Trump will be lucky to last out the year. The only suspense for those with Trump Snowflake Stockholm Syndrome will be: Resignation, Impeachment, or the 25th Amendment.
Hmm - A FISA warrant leaves a paper trail. It will be interesting to see the extent of the tapping, and the reason a judge thought there was enough evidence to issue it. They serve a 7 year term to be certain they aren't influenced by party, but a background check could be done. It could be that she has Muslim friends, or her grandparents came over from Mexico. Or she has friends who don't fully support Trump.
Guilty by association or birth in Trumps scared America...All non pure bloods are guilty! oops, I forgot to LoL at the end...I guess Trump stopped being funny when he lost his marbles, yet still won the election of the main super power, yet still tweets like A North Korean dictator..
So many groups against Trump - this vast left wing conspiracy... Right now he distrusts the entire NSA - which will make it very difficult - and the MSM is conspiring to get him too. Amazing how powerful the anti-Trump forces are. They have completely overwhelmed him. It's like he is tweeting from a prison cell, unable to do anything but rail against his enemies
If the NSA, CIA, FBI or any other government agency are actively working to subvert the President, we have a Constitutional crisis.
I have a feeling that as long as trump is in office he's gonna blame Obama for everything. It's time to grow up Donald and be President and quit blaming others for your short comings.
That's completely true! That's why I would like to see evidence. This FISA warrant is a way into figuring out wtf is going on. It leaves a paper trail, and that can be the unraveling thread.
If the Clinton Foundation were in daily contact with the Communist Chinese government would you have a problem with the FISA court granting a warrant to wiretap all of those phone calls? So how is that any different to the Trump campaign being in what appears to be frequent contacts with the Russian government? Why would you support a FISA approved wiretap for one and not the other?
Hey - I am with Sasse! "The President today made some very serious allegations, and the informed citizens that a republic requires deserve more information. If there were wiretaps of then-candidate Trump's organization or campaign, then it was either with FISA Court authorization or without such authorization. If without, the President should explain what sort of wiretap it was and how he knows this. It is possible that he was illegally tapped. On the other hand, if it was with a legal FISA Court order, then an application for surveillance exists that the Court found credible. The President should ask that this full application regarding surveillance of foreign operatives or operations be made available, ideally to the full public, and at a bare minimum to the U.S. Senate. "We are in the midst of a civilization-warping crisis of public trust, and the President's allegations today demand the thorough and dispassionate attention of serious patriots. A quest for the full truth, rather than knee-jerk partisanship, must be our guide if we are going to rebuild civic trust and health." Coulda - woulda - shoulda don't matter now. Trump is the president. This is a crisis of epic proportions. If the entire intelligence agency can no longer be trusted - and the MSM is hiding that fact - we need to have hearings!
By blaming Obama? That was his plan? Great, have to wait another 3 years and 10 months for a serious President.
Somebody is in a lot of trouble. This isn't going away, and there now seems to be a legitimate paper trail to pursue... Yes. Why was the FISA warrant granted? What were they looking for? What did they find? Is this the source of the leaks which have continued into the early days of Trump's presidency? There is now reason to be optimistic that we will get to the bottom of this... I wonder, did he know how messed up the system really is? Yes. And by all initial indications, we do indeed have a Constitutional crisis. I agree 100%. Hearings are a must. This has to be fully investigated and fully reported.This is no longer a Trump issue. It appears to be much, much larger than Trump.
