Here's an NPR conception of "wire tap".
And Trump said he will furnish evidence soon?
Who do you believe?
Me? Not Congress critters.
I hope he delivers it with spoons.
Here's an NPR conception of "wire tap".
Has he been wrong yet?
Why aren’t we requiring the left to live by their standards?
where is the evidence that Russia hacked the election? There is none
We should call on them to retract and apologize.
Go, Trump!
June 2016: FISA request. The Obama administration files a request with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to monitor communications involving Donald Trump and several advisers. The request, uncharacteristically, is denied.
October 2016: FISA request. The Obama administration submits a new, narrow request to the FISA court, now focused on a computer server in Trump Tower suspected of links to Russian banks. No evidence is found — but the wiretaps continue, ostensibly for national security reasons.
===========================================
The Obama wire-tapping gang WILL have to face the music.
(JIM0216 hat tip)......the issue isn't whether Trump was wiretapped (Obama admitted such and apparently, there was a FISA warrant issued for the wiretapping). The issue is whether there was probable cause to issue a warrant. Probable cause is defined as the reasonable likelihood that a crime is or has been committed by the person or at the place designated........
===============================================
(REAGANGENERATION2 HAT TIP)---Trump should be able to review all 2 or 3 FISA requests (if he hasn’t already), and then let Congress determine if the requesters lied about the probable cause justifying them......then (1) you’d prove perjury, and, even worse, (2) the intent was to abuse executive power.
===========================================
A good beginning....and then it gets downright lethal for the Obama gang:
Via Breitbart, JOHN HAYWARD observed that the FISA court may have approved a warrant submitted without Trump’s name but “which Obama then misused to spy on Trump and many connected to Trump.”
Ergo the most serious legal jeopardy that might be faced would be (a) perjury for lying to the FISA court, and, (b) the dissemination of collected intelligence that should have been kept tightly classified.
===========================================
It is also entirely possible that Obama and his legal team may have perjured themselves before the FISA court by willfully withholding material information in order to manipulate the FISA court’s willingness to permit the government surveillance.
FALSIFYING GOVT DOCUMENTS would fall under the Crimes Act of 1958. Moreover, falsifying official documents is the criminal MO to hide larger crimes.
EXCERPT A person falsifying documents can be held criminally liable if they are deliberately acting with the intention of deceiving or defrauding another party.
Falsifying documents is a very serious offense and is generally classified as a felony. This means that a person charged with falsifying documents may be subject to the following legal penalties:
◾Having to pay a monetary fine
◾Incarceration in a prison facility
Depending on the gravity of the offense, as well as individual state laws, falsifying documents can result in a prison sentence of 5-10 years.
And if official government documents or govt authorities were involved, the legal penalties may be more severe. Legal penalties may increase with repeat offenses.
Many different types of acts can be considered as falsifying a document, including:
◾Altering or misrepresenting fact-based information
◾Stating false information when requested to provide truthful statements
◾Forging a signature
◾Using official letterheads without authorization
◾Knowingly using or distributing a fake document
The penalty for falsifying government documents is outlined in the Crimes Act of 1958. (excerpt)
I just looked at the original tweet. He did put “wires tapped” in quotes—ROFL!
I’d love to see him dump a big box of bug microphones on a table, like in an old Hogan’s Heroes episode.
Yep, as he said, in quotation marks
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

The MSM will continue to flog this matter on behalf of their masters, splitting hairs over the meaning of the word “wiretap” and President Trump will produce the evidence showing that Clinton, per alios—following Bill’s meeting with Lynch to discuss grandchildren, cabbages and sealing wax—burgled his communications.
Then as usual nothing will come of illegal, Watergate-type snooping and the MSM will receive new marching orders and move on to beating their drums over some other BS `rat claim or denial.
Remove the foreign invaders, kill Obamacare, permanent furloughs to non-essential federal employees, defund the EPA, Dept. of Edumacation & NPR/PBS/more money to ICE and the military, last but not least, boycott the shadow govt’s Ministry of Truth.
Wiretap bump for later......
Spicer was addressing this all moments ago at the presser.
Spicer is GREAT! I love this guy! He does not take any crap!
This reminds me of Bush’s invasion of Iraq. The information is coming the the UN inspectors haven’t found anything but they aren’t through yet. Bush says “tell them to leave, we are going to bomb. Let’s don’t get all the evidence before we reach our conclusion . Besides the fact the the evodense is obvios — let’s all say there is no evidence “ BEFORE the evidence is in showing the obvious” These are rino - GOPe republicrats that are still trying to win the primary. WAIT FOR THE DAMNED EVIDENCE BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR FINDING!! Where do they think the transcripts were of the wiretapped telephone conversation were from? potato salad?
Is anyone watching the WH presser? Sean is reading the MSM the riot act.
The joint statement said “we see no indications that Trump tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the United States”. The news is spinning this as they found no evidence. Also, Obama’s spokesman never said Trump wasn’t wiretapped. He said White House never ordered it. No one has denied a foreign power could have wiretapped him.

Maybe this is why obama went to French Polynesia.
One by-product of the Bill Clinton era was that we’re now all experts in the business of word parsing. Good thing... forces them to tell outright lies.
He knew Tucker would ask him about this which is why he did the interview.
There is a chess match going on behind the scenes.
Trump knows that the Satanic Shadow Government is very close to overreaching itself. Once it does Trump will slam the fist of justice upon them so hard their tails will spin
President Trump needs to understand that he is not a TV Reality Host anymore and now he is playing REAL time. IF he has something, release it or STFU about it.
They are all lining up to discredit any evidence he has. I hope he doesn’t wait too long.
