Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska demanded in a statement on Saturday that President Donald Trump further explain his allegations that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower during the election campaign.

"The President today made some very serious allegations, and the informed citizens that a republic requires deserve more information," Sasse said.

He continued: "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."

1. How to even respond to such supidness is the problem. Trump only gets worse as his parania

gets worse.

3. When Republicans are critical of him it is not always obvious what the motives are, he has enemies

within the GOP for different reasons. I don't know much about this man, but he seems to get it. Here it is only the beginning of March and the Trump administration is going too far, too fast off the deep end. At least he does seem sincere about it.

That will make him seem reasonable.

2. I hope more come forward. We are hanging on the edge here, it wouldn't

take much, for this crisis to turn into a major catastrophe.

5. I hope so too.

7. Demand A Special prosecutor with subpoena powers is the correct response to Trump's accusations

There has to be a Special prosecutor with subpoena powers appointed to investigate Trump's administration Russian Spy contacts.

8. Yes and more calls like this to say Trump is off the rails and this must stop.
