Obama’s Surrogates Continue to Deny Trump Tower Surveillance, But Evidence Suggests Otherwise

The President’s tweets regarding alleged Obama wiretapping of Trump Towers during the campaign is making a lot of waves this afternoon — with the Sunday lineup of shills being interviewed on political discussion talk shows. From what we can gather thus far, the White House is calling for an investigation into the President’s claims that Obama wiretapped his offices.

Rep. Schiff (D) calls the charges baseless and without merit, pointing out that Sean Spicer has said he would not discuss the matter further until it was investigated through the proper channels.

Trump’s spokeswoman said she did not trust the Obama denial, illuminating a few points where the Obama administration had been less than forthcoming about their meddling in the past.

Here’s the former Director of National Security, James Clapper, saying, unequivocally, that there wasn’t a FISA court ordered wiretap on candidate Trump.

George Bush’s former AG, Mukasey, said there was some sort of surveillance taking place on Trump or his cohorts during the campaign.

If we strip it all away and simply look at the facts on the ground, President Obama either illegally wiretapped candidate Trump’s offices or did so legally — that much is certain. If James Clapper is correct that there wasn’t a court order for surveillance, then logic dictates they were done outside the boundaries of the law. The middle ground is a revelation that someone other than Trump was being surveilled at Trump Tower and Obama’s talking heads are merely obfuscating the facts, in order to derail a proper inquiry.

Radio talk show host and former assistant to AG Meese wraps it all up nicely, concluding that Obama’s spying was overt and blatant tactics of a police state.

    keep on lbuying the bullshit. so obvious it’s yet another smoke screen. Let special prosecutor study Trump and Russia and alleged wire tap. Any problem with that?

      The dems do not get to have a special prosecutor. That’s not how it works.

      The Executive and both branches of congress are in GOP hands. They will literally do as they like. If you don’t like it, run a better campaign.

        Exactly. So if Trump truly wants the Dems to shut up about Russia and truly believes Obama personally ordered a wiretap then appoint a Special Prosecutor. If he’s right then he will be proved correct and he can Twitter the results all day long. But that will NEVER happen because everyone knows it’s bullshit.

        Now is the FBI independently tapping phones based on probable cause.. who knows? But that’s independent of Obama and Congress. The tall FBI Republican shill won’t even tell the intelligence committees what’s up. What’s clear is that Trump is very worried and is lashing out at all of his senior staff. It all will come out and things always do. One or more will be indicted and Trump’s agenda inexorably will be pushed to the side. The unraveling continues. Just hope this doesn’t impact his golf game.

          POTUS again proves hes off his rocker. This claim can and will be proven false. The CIA will have to go JFK at some point.

    If I didn’t know that the guy was a teetotaler I would think he had a few too many mimosas at the famed Mar-a-Lago before taking to the twitters. The guy– and his senior staff– have done more to keep the Russia story afloat than any Dem.

    If his tweets are true, he’s got to be shitting a brass clad brick made out of Chinese steel. The FISA Court wouldn’t allow that kind of horse shit without probable cause. I can’t imagine Professor O stepping outside of the law to tap the “68 story” Trump Tower. At the point in time when it would happened there would be no political gain (Hills was all but assumed to win the election).

    The irony to this whole thing is as President, Trump has access to the answer.

      Way to many assumptions dude. Hillary was assumed to win? By whom? The courts are honorable? According to whom? Keeping the story afloat? The MSM has been puking that horseshit 24/7 for months. Believing everything one reads in the times of all fake news. Not clever.

    when does this bad soap opera end?

    all this drama still from the election between Russia and now wire tapping. How about we get back to actually governing?

      Since the majority of media love soap opera (all bad), probably until Trump pigeon holes them into oblivion. Trump is governing like a mofo.

        If by “governing like a mofo” you mean delivering a stream of lies and propaganda through misspelt tweets then yea he’s definitely doing that.

    I hope POTUS has something to back it up. Otherwise he looks like an irresponsible fool.
