Trump accuses Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower

snip//

It was not immediately clear whether Trump had any proof or was referencing a report. Breitbart News on Friday reported on conservative radio host Mark Levin’s claim that Obama executed a “silent coup” of Trump via “police state” tactics. White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon was the executive chair of Breitbart before joining Trump’s team.

1. He really is a total nutjob......

[Vinca]

2. Quick . . . Kellyanne . . . grab the meds! He's going all "Cuckoo's Nest" this morning.

[babylonsister]

3. Or he ingested the white powdery meds! nt

[global1]

4. Where Did He Get This Wiretapping Idea From?....nt

[babylonsister]

5. Why, Breitbart of course! Just updated OP. nt

[Trust Buster]

6. Now this is something congressional Republicans can sink their teeth into.

[Sancho]

7. with all his Russian friends, he suspects Obama??

at any rate, there should be an investigation!!!

[Ilsa]

8. Sounds like a FISA court was busy approving

taps for a lot of Trump properties.

[djg21]

10. Sounds like they have a recording of Trump

Either himself speaking with the Russians and perhaps violating the Logan Act or conspiring with others on his campaign to do so. It seems like something may be coming. Let's hope.

[GoCubsGo]

9. This is akin to blaming the dog when you fart.

Only beyond INFINITELY worse. If there was evidence that Comrade Trump was colluding with enemies of the State, I sure as hell hope Obama ordered him wire-tapped. He would be derelict in his duties if he had not done so. That being said, yep. More spin and deflect. It's their M.O.: Try to force everyone to go after the people who point out their wrong-doing, rather than have them look at the actual wrong-doing.

Looks like Breitbart and Levin are engaging in the usual GOP "I know you are, but what am I?" projection. In other words, same shit, different day. This kind of shit will work on the ignorant rubes who worship him, but I sure as hell hope the rest of the country sees through this shit.

11. Likely true under September FISA warrant

Quite likely that Trump or his aides could have been subject to the FISA warrant that was finally issued in September. If investigation includes possible collusion between Russia and Trump campaign, then campaign would certainly be part of warrant, and to get that warrant would require convincing probable cause.

Think about all the other nefarious things that might be discovered incidental to such an investigation. I can only hope.

12. Sounds like Donnie fell right into a well-set trap

Now that he's admitted to the world that there are indeed tapes and transcripts, they must be seen. There are probably a good many conversations and data transactions between the Trump's and Russia. Pretty much proves Trump and all his henchmen have been lying their asses off - many under oath. And if anything's missing (a la Nixon), well...

If true, this could possiblly bring down the whole administration and the GOP with it.

13. I hope Pres. Obama and Michelle hire their own security for a while.

This could get ugly.

[meow2u3]

16. They have Secret Service protection AFAIK

[tanyev]

23. Secret Service that is now under the control of a petulant, vindictive man.

18. Obama signs bill, gets Secret Service protection for life

Washington (CNN) January 10th, 2013 – With the stroke of a pen Thursday, President Barack Obama gave himself and his wife Secret Service protection for the rest of their lives.

The new law, which passed the House and Senate in December, designates that all former U.S. presidents who served after January 1, 1997, along with their spouses, receive protection from the Secret Service for their entire lifetimes – meaning former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura are also covered. The law also stipulates that children of presidents receive protection until the age of 16.

Lifetime government-provided security for former presidents was the law of the land until 1997, when Congress passed legislation limiting Secret Service protection to ten years after leaving office.

The 1997 law said any president serving before January 1, 1997 would still receive the lifelong protection. That means with the law signed Thursday, every former president – Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush – along with Obama will continue to receive Secret Service details for the rest of their lives.

22. Confused?

Jimmy Carter was 1977-1981. George HW Bush 1989-1992. They were before 1997. They would not be covered right?
Ok. I read further. It says they both are covered too.

[KewlKat]

24. those before 1997 were covered for life. Then they changed it to 10 years for those serving after.

GW would have been a 10 yr and then President Obama. Since he signed the bill in 2013, it went back to the 1997 cut off and it now covers GW and those who serve after.

If we manage to get the Con to resign or he's impeached.....will he still get this covereage for life? I'd rather that he just GET life......behind bars if possible. I guess it would be ok if the SS just watched him through the bars.......

[kentuck]

14. His buddy, James Comey, is probably listening to him at this very moment?

They are all around you Donald. They are going to find your secrets and they are going to expose you.

[Motown_Johnny]

15. If Obama had gone after Trump he would not be President now.

I am not buying it.

I think Chump and Bannon dreamed this up and had Breitbart report it just so Chump can quote Breitbart.

The picture of Schumer with Trump didn't have any effect so they raised the stakes.

The real wildcard here is Pres. Obama. If he decides to weigh in this could escalate quickly. Chump may reap the whirlwind.

[HockeyMom]

17. Transference

Trump does this all the time.

[KewlKat]

20. yes....i wouldn't doubt that the Con is tapping lines as we type......

he always accuses others of what he himself is doing/has done.

[spanone]

19. he is out of his fucking mind...literally

[malaise]

21. Proof - who needs proof when they have LIES aka

alternative facts - fuckers have been caught.
