Trump Accuses Obama of Wiretapping Trump Tower

[Wyrt]

That's enough Infowars for Trump.

[callipygoustp]

The shit Trump comes up with. WTF!

[GennGreymane]

He should have built a wall around Trump Tower....

Als ur meds are made in CHYYYYNNNAAA

To be fair, made in china but shipped from Taiwan.

With respect: Obama did get caught with his pants down when it came to mass surveilance and lying to the America public about it. Obama also tapped the phones of many foreign leaders including his top ally Merkel.

Could he have done it? Yes. Would he have done it? Yes.

Obama's IRS did target conservative groups during the 2012 election.

True or not though this is the Trump deciding to go full offensive mode against the Russia story.



Because there's so many credible sources to back up the claims of collusion between Trump and Putin right? Claims of Russian election interference have evidence and sources, claims of collusion do not and yet they've been played by the media and democrats as if they do.

Welcome to politics.

Pretty much my thoughts on it, but your not abiding by the cool mentallity the mass herd bro.

My god, he's really off his rocker today. I can almost hear his aides face-palming.

His whimpering complaint yesterday about the Democrats not approving his cabinet picks seemed weirdly "low-energy" at the time. Now this is truly hysterical.

SAD! Not much difference

IMO there is a good chance the intel agencies tapped Trump's phone. But it would certainly not have been at the behest of Obama. Now they might have asked for Obama's OK on this given who they were targeting, while laying out their reasons why and already accumulated evidence, but that's a wholly different thing to Obama asking for it to be done. Moreover if its true that the FBI/etc did this then they have some seriously compromising evidence on someone in Trump's inner circle, they would not take such a step otherwise given the massive political dangers involved.

I think the most likely thing however, is that Trump just found out the intel agencies tapped his phone and that Obama had nothing to do with it, but Trump is looking for someone to blame. But again that still leaves the point that no way would those agencies take this step unless they had enough prior evidence to warrant it. I really really wonder what that evidence is.

That's a perfectly fair point but ultimate accountability goes to Obama. Even if he just gave his OK to the affair he is still responsible.

Wire Tapping a presidential candidate in a deeply contentious election is the kind of thing that bites you in the ass. My stance on the Russia hysteria from day 1 with the recount idiocy was that it was always going to bite the Democrats in the ass.

Oh boy has it blown up in their faces.

Agreed, its risky, but that then leads onto my second point, Obama isn't stupid and has made sure to keep himself, personally, scandal free. He would not have taken this risk if there was not enough evidence already accumulated to justify it. It might not be on Trump himself but they have some seriously compromising evidence on someone in Trumps inner circle.

Oh and you probably don't know this. The FBI cannot just wiretap somebody at will. It has to be approved by the US surveillance court and they would not have granted it on mere speculation. They would have had to present some significant piece of evidence to justify it. Ergo if this is true, that it happened, the intel agencies have some damning info on someone in Trump's circle.

[GennGreymane]

Other than the tweets. What evidence is there?

Because without anything more substantial all I see is

"MOMMMYYYYY BARRY TOOK THE COOKIES!"

"No I didnt Donnie!!!!!"

Love to see all the people skeptical of Trump's claim while swallowing whole anonymous sources from X outlet.

Hypocrisy knows no bound, it seems.

[Xeones]

Oh boy, more idiotic bull shit morons are going to believe without question.

Why is Trump bitching about leaks if there's no validity behind the leaks?

And yeah, why would we trust Trump when he lies about everything?

[GennGreymane]

The deflection brigade has begun!

[Bodakane]

If it is true, then it was likely to get to the bottom of his collusion with Russia to influence the presidential election.

Wiretapping criminals is a perfectly acceptable thing to do.

Man trump and the republican party are really just going off the deep end aren't they.

I don't trust Trump's claims, I'm just poiting at the hypocrisy.

And bitching about an accusation is not an admission of guilt, by the way.
