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

Don't know if it happened or not so, we are dealing with a hypothetical until more information is provided.

What I would like to know is your position on these three points.

1. Do you think the charge has a kernel of truth? Why or why not.

2. If it is true, what do you think should happen? Politically and legally?

3. If it's not true, what do you think should happen?

As a bonus please provide any sources for updates containing facts about this topic.

Thanks,

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.
