from WIRED magazine -
IT STARTED, LIKE so many eruptions these days, with a tweet.
Early Saturday morning, President Trump fired off a series of tweets accusing, without evidence, former President Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower in the month before the election. Trump compared the alleged snooping to Nixon/Watergate, and intimated legal action....
You cant tap the phones of a political candidate for political purposes, says Doss.
What you could you tap them for? Acting as a foreign power, or as an agent of a foreign power. In other words, spying against US interests with both knowledge and intent....
If federal authorities did have cause to listen in on Trump Tower, though, and they provided enough evidence for a FISA court to approve the snooping, Obama is not the one who ought to worry.

(49,047 posts)Nor when he went into debt with the Russian oligarchs after US sources of credit dried up.
Nor when he okayed or went along with stealing the election with Russian help.
Nor when he publicly called for Russian hacking during the election campaign.
tRump doesn't think much at all. He's reactive.

(2,795 posts)They were watching for the tiniest of misstep making Obama smart and methodical - he made sure he had a lot of great legal counsel and advisors. They didn't anything to open themselves up for repukelican hearings and investigations.
No way on earth would Obama have had a lapse in judgement on the way out the door and do something careless. If this wiretap was ordered, it was done through the proper channels, and yes if true, Trump is the one that needs to worry, not Obama.
