Remember:
Obama wiretapped the parents of Fox News’s James Rosen — with no legal authority that I know of.
He illegally used the IRS to punish political opponents.
He illegally used an executive order to give amnesty to “Dreamers” — a power even he admitted he didn’t have.
He and Eric Holder intervened ion the ongoing case against the New Black panthers to end the prosecution — after the Bush Administration had essentially gotten them convicted.
So why wouldn’t hve wiretap Trump, with or without a warrant?
If NYT wiretap articles true then Trump wiretapped. If false then NYT intentionally pushed false stories to hurt President. They can’t have it both ways.
