''I'm not Nostradamus here': Man behind Trump's wiretap claim says he can't prove Obama did it

Source: RawStory

05 MAR 2017 AT 12:38 ET


Radio host Mark Levin, who sent President Donald Trump into a rage on Twitter after floating a conspiracy theory about wiretaps ordered by President Barack Obama, admitted on Sunday that he had no concrete proof that the former president was involved.

On his radio show and in a column for Breitbart, Levin called for an investigation into Obamas so-called silent coup against the new president. Without presenting any proof, Levin alleged that Obama personally ordered wiretaps of Trump associates. The evidence is overwhelming, Levin told Fox News host Pete Hegseth on Sunday. This is about the Obama administrations spying.

Levijn repeating the list of sources offered in his [link:http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/03/03/mark-levin-obama-used-police-state-tactics-undermine-trump/Brietbart column] as proof that Obama allegedly ordered the wiretapping of Trumps team. A careful reading of those reports, however, do not back up Levins conspiracy theory.

Donald Trump is being attacked for (the accusations) he tweeted, Levin said. Donald Trump is the victim, his campaign is the victim, his transition team is the victim, his surrogates are the victim. These are police state tactics. When pressed for details on President Obamas personal involvement, Levin replied, Im not Nostradamus here.

He didn't report on the past.

Added to the long list of criminal activity done by Obama and the Clinton crime family.

And no damn "fake news" network is going to dissuade them from hanging on to this new development that proves their distrust of the black man in the white house.

They have this amazing bubble where any outlandish alternate fact can enter but it can never get back out.

“It’s called a ‘wrap-up smear,'” she continued. “You make up something then you have the press write about it, then you say ‘everybody is writing about it.’ It’s a charge. It’s a tool of an authoritarian, to just have them talking about what you want them to be talking about. Rather than Russia, we’re talking about President Obama. And then to take it to the Congress and say, ‘Now you investigate this,’ when he’s in favor of Congress of investigating anything but what do the Russians have on Donald Trump, politically, financially or personally.”
