Should former President Obama sue President Trump now that the FBI has said Obama did not have surveillance ordered on Trump?

I know he won't.
But I think he should.

Suing Trump will bring Trump to court to defend his lies, his "allegations", and his "alternative facts". At the moment he just sends out his pooper-scoopers to deal with his s***.

Obama can legitimately claim that Trump has defamed him by falsely imprinted in the minds of millions of people around the world that Obama had Trump and Trump Tower "wire tapped".

Trump apparently has billlions of dollars.
Perhaps if he has to shake some out of his wallet whenever he lies and tweets fabrications and conspiracy theories, he will think twice.

But that implies he has thinks first, to begin with.
He doesn't.
He parrots Fox News, Alex Jones, and a host of wing-nut theorists.

Let him put his moneynwhere his lying mouth is.

Trump knows Obama won't sue.
And that's the shame of it.

I'm wishing he would.
But I believe Obama will put America first, and not sue this unhinged, immature, and embarrassing Tweeter in Chief.

You have to say, if that had been two celebs going at it. Or even a member of the public ! People would be screaming for a public apology at the very least. To say nothing of slander or libel law !
But given that we are talking about a man who would rather talk ANYTHING but policy, you have to wonder if it's something of a smokescreen to hide something.

But that's exactly what it is ...smokescreen

Of course it's a smoke screen.

You can indeed assume so. 🙂

We had an incident in the UK some years ago where it just happened to be a really bad news day.
I forget what it was but possibly something along the lines of international incidents coupled with the usual news fodder.
The press chief in the Prime Minister's office suggested releasing some bad news regarding a policy decision specifically on that day because (in his words) 'It's a good day to bury bad news !'
So i'd look carefully at law changes or qualifications for certain things that may have been pushed through quietly while this and the twitter fiasco continue.

@Picklebobble2: 100% right

While the media is doing back flips for weeks over this, GOP State legislatures are busy removing voting rights from some of their own citizens, read poor and minority...with both traditionally voting Democrat.

Also the health care they are trying to push through is horrid for the sick, the elderly, and others. But in the meantime, they can chip away at Medicaid and Medicare without the health care package that is getting most of the attention.

Slimy people

I don't understand the medical thing.
People cost money. That's a fact every government knows.
But the U.S. goes round and around in circles with this issue.
And it's starting to look (from this side of the pond at least) as though it's something of a con every President plays in order to solicit money for their chosen insurance companies!
That's where your problem lies.
Looking after people is probably the one thing you will find it difficult to make a profit from !!
