Comey and the FBI were wiretapping Trump not PBO.

He got a FISA warrant so I'll bet the info they have is mind-boggling.
I expect Imelda Marcos would be jealous of the shoes getting ready to drop.

The sound you hear is the shit hitting the fan around Trump and the scramble to CYA.

***I hate FISA. However, use it across the board or stop it. The worm has turned.

I'm so curious what wrangling and negotiating is going on behind the scenes. A lot of the Trump team and many Republican could be toast. Like not just out of a job but behind bars for a very long time. Well, Donnie let the cat out of the bag now... let the full-on freakout begin. Mass GOP exodus to Argentina??

In addition, they have pissed off almost the entire world.
Maybe Putin can carve out a small enclave for them to govern.

These latest tweets go along with his previous claim that Obama is behind leaks- except he's denying anything was found by wiretaps

Preibus said FBI officials told him they didn't find any evidence of collusion. It might have been true that nothing was found by wiretapping Trump Towers late in the campaign, since most important collusion with Russia or Russian agents had already occurred by then and Trump has surrounded himself with possible Russian moles like Flynn that he could converse with in person.

Lack of phone evidence found at TT would not be surprising since Trump was on campaign trail with Flynn, Page, Sessions and others plus he had campaign stops at several places and times where that Russian billionaires' plane has been traced at those airports. (Same Russian who bought Trump property and flew in to Palm Beach when Trump and Flynn were there before Flynn resigned and who is rumored to be connected to the Rosneft 19.5% share sold to Glencore after the election.)

Russians and others into TT.
And you wanna bet Trump used his old, unsecured phone to talk about everything?

If they actually tapped trump, it was because he was recorded on the Russian wiretaps. Something was discussed to warrant a warrant.
Obama had nothing to do with this. I am willing to bet the CIA or FBI never even told Obama what they were doing.
