What do you think of President Trump's charge that the previous administration abused their authority and spied on his campaign?

[b]I found this interesting article to share regarding Obama wire tapping candidate Trump before the election. with the following link below:[/b]

[b]Quote from the article researched:[/b]

[b][c=#003BB2]"Of course, you can bet the liberal cronies at the Mainstream Media were quick to come to Fuhrer Obama’s defense. They tried to claim Trump has “no evidence” of the wiretappings to try and make him look crazy.

Well, let’s see the evidence for ourselves:

In June 2016, the Obama administration filed a request with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to spy on communications between Trump and his advisors. He was initially denied.
July 2016, President Trump tells a joke to his campaign audience after Clinton emails are leaked where he says, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing.” The Democrats use this one joke as the entire basis for their Trump-Russia accusations.
In October 2016, the Obama Justice Department filed ANOTHER FISA request to spy on a computer server in Trump Tower to look for ties to Russian banks as well as wiretap the phones. They found no evidence on the computer server but kept the wiretaps in place anyways for “national security reasons.” This is literally spying on an opposing presidential campaign using government resources.
In January 2017, the New York Times reports on inauguration eve that the FBI, CIA, NSA, and Treasury Department have been spying on several Trump associates “suspected of Russian ties.” This comes right AFTER Obama admin expanded surveillance capabilities of NSA to allow them to share with 16 other US agencies.

So essentially yes, Barack Obama and his cronies used a massive overhaul in federal surveillance to spy on their political opponent for their own gain and are now using it to try and force him out of office.

And, to answer President Trump’s final Tweet, you SHOULD take him to court. Shut them down once and for all. This is treason at its worst and if you have the evidence, use it to bury the corrupt Democrats once and for all!!!"

I'm skeptical of it. I think he's still trying to figure out the leaks from his administration, and now has the notion that it must be due to wiretapping. I actually wouldn't be surprised if the leaks are a concerted GOP effort. If they could get Trump out of the picture, they'd be in a pretty good situation to pursue some of their key agenda points. In truth I think it's just going to be an unbelievable shitstorm until at least 2018.

A FISA (totally classified and sealed) Court provided the warrant and the wiretaps existed. The sticking point is what the wiretaps revealed. Had the information been actionable it already would have happened. Net result is the libs using the where there is smoke there must be fire technique simply because there were wiretaps while attempting to obsucsre the fact that the wiretaps revealed zip. Case closed. The president's tweets today were nothing more than his taking a victory lap.

As an outsider looking in, there are so many things that just don't add up about the behaviour of this man.
Political rivals spy on each other. To pretend they don't is so naive as to be stupid. Especially in the lead up to an election.
Was what they were doing illegal ? Possibly. If it involved some sort of criminal action. But unless you can find some sort of physical evidence. Bugs or wire taps to back it up. How would you ever prove it ? And if you DID have such evidence, doesn't that instantly make it a criminal matter ? Meaning that even if involved you wouldn't be allowed to talk about it. For fear of prejudicing any future proceedings.
"If it's not true, what do you think should happen ?"
Well, you can't prove something didn't happen ! But 'cleverly' he hasn't named anyone specifically as allegedly responsible ! So he might get away with just suggesting it.

Zero Truth..
Trump gets caught in lies and scandals and weaves his web.
His followers believe every word though!

What do I think should happen? They should find out his real connection to Russia and why he is so upset about us knowing.
What if the Russians rigged the election with their hacking?
What are they hiding that all his cabinet is lying about meeting with Russians?

Sources? There are plenty of articles out there that are biased one way or the other.
You can take the information and find the middle ground to take your stance.

At this point.. He's spinning conspiracy theories.

If it is true then why not take some official action on it instead of using it as twitter fodder?

If it is true then the issue is whether it was done legally or not. Either way he has no business disclosing it via twitter. If illegally then the appropriate penalties should be pursued.

If the allegations are false without legitimate basis then it bears on his fitness to be president.

If it's true it's going to be a shit storm for Obama.

Thinking and Trump don't really go together

it's pathetic bullshit

The Government spies on everyone as a matter of "national security" if he has nothing to hide then it's irrelevant

I believe the bozo would do it and if that needs explaining, you're too far gone.

And still couldn't get no dirt on the Weive.. More winning

1- It has. It has been proven that Obama administration wiretapped phones of foreign leaders like Angela Merkel. Why not do it at home too?

2- If true, Obama should be accused of sedition and sent to prison.

3- If not true, Trump should resign for such a strong accusation.

Trump's a liar, pathologically so. He takes no responsibility for anything he does. And he takes no responsibility for anything he [b]says[/b] after it's been refuted.
