President Trump has just posted a series of extraordinary tweets accusing President Obama of illegally wiretapping his phones and spying on him. The tweets seem to originate from an article he read on Breitbart. A few thoughts: 1.) The president seems to be admitting that he was the personal target of a government investigation into whether he was colluding with a hostile power; 2.) There's no illegality by the Obama administration, since any wiretaps were approved by FISA courts, or conversations were picked up by SIGINT collection. 3.)The President has access to information collected by professionals at 17 intelligence agencies, and instead he turns to nuts at Breitbart? 4.) He seems worryingly unstable. 5.) More than ever, we need an independent 9/11-style commission to investigate the ties between the Trump team and the Kremlin, for we can't have this cloud having over us for years; 6.) Defense Secretary Mattis, if you're reading this, please send SEAL Team Six into the White House to seize any device that our President can use for tweeting.
