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,

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

https://libertywritersnews.com/2017/03/scandal-century-donald-trump-just-exposed-obama-horrible-crime-proof/

Quote from the article researched:

"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!!!"

Interesting how the libs vanished with your substantiated comment.
@Jackjjacksonjr: Well, Jack it wasn't my comment as so much the article I researched and found. I believe in finding substance to what's brought up for discussion. That's all.

only problem with this article is that it does not actually cite any actual sources who would know. it simply sites other questionable news sites best known for fake news. i think trump pulled this out his ass to try to deflect attention from the more important russia connection. this is a tact he has often used.
