President Trump on a twitter rampage-Accuses Obama of wiretapping phones

no. The Patriot Act is not Blanket Martial Law.

The Patriot Act only applies when it is officially invoked
for specific persons, people or situations.

so, if Obama didn't invoke The Patriot Act, then he
is acting under the NDAA.

I wish this was all clearer. I do know that all my demonrat friends are suddenly very quiet.

Nope, Uncle is Maintenance man at WH and cousin is custodian at Trump towers

In support of Trump's charges against the media of fake news, would it be reasonable to ask that the media resolve not to print any Trump assertion that he hasn't supported with evidence ??

Seems fair doesn't it?

A deeply buried detail in today’s New York Times article on the subject has huge implications for Trump and his team:

But a senior White House official said that Donald F. McGahn II, the president’s chief counsel, was working on Saturday to secure access to what Mr. McGahn believed was an order issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court authorizing some form of surveillance related to Mr. Trump and his associates.

The official offered no evidence to support the notion that such an order exists. If one does, it would be highly unusual for a White House to order the Justice Department to turn over such an investigative document, given the traditional independence of law enforcement matters.

This is extremely important for two reasons.
Even if it doesn’t exist, the fact that it has spooked the White House enough to go looking for the FISA warrant is an admission of guilt in itself.

If it does exist, as the White House counsel clearly believes it does, it means that three federal judges had enough evidence that Donald Trump’s election campaign was infiltrated by foreign agents to issue a wiretap. 
Secondly, it is a huge breach of protocol for the White House to interfere with an ongoing Department of Justice investigation. While not technically illegal, it is extremely unethical for the White House counsel to be meddling in the affairs of the DOJ, especially when the investigation is targeted at members of the current administration.

Trump doesn't tell lies.

The assertion is news. You can't be that dumb.

Yep, we won't hear any more from trump on this subject according to spicer:


(1/4) Reports concerning potentially politically motivated investigations immediately ahead of the 2016 election are very troubling.

(2/4) President Trump is requesting that as part of their investigation into Russian activity, the congressional intelligence committees

(3/4) exercise their oversight authority to determine whether executive branch investigative powers were abused in 2016.

(4/4) Neither the White House nor the President will comment further until such oversight is conducted.

CNN Headline: Trump's baseless wiretap claim

What a bunch of hypocrites! For months they have floated baseless Russian conspiracies at fact. Now they demand hard evidence before believing claims?

They need to be bugging O's mansion immediately...that is ground zero for treasonous activity...

Apparently, all you have to do is accuse someone of espionage, then you are allowed to wire-tap them.

I don't think you have seen the real backlash yet.

This battle for who really controls the government is just getting started.
Illegal corrupt Shadow Government versus the duly Elected Government.

These are just the early shots being fired.

If memory serves me correctly, there are 2 Russian banks that have rented space in Trump Towers. That is not cause for suspicion or wiretaps. Surely, there are other banks and businesses with space rented in Trump Towers also.

Yep, Obama goes to the FISA court and says "we have evidence of electronic communications to Russia and it maybe something bad" and get's a wiretap on the grounds of "national security".

Next thing you know they are listening to Trump's phone calls and gathering political info to be used against him.

So to make this stick you need evidence that the evidence presented to the judge was untrue or misleading, and that and then you need evidence that Obama was aware that the evidence was untrue or misleading. I think he can sleep easy, unless the huge number of people on this board calling for summary execution get their way.
