Not expecting wiretap evidence

-

Has there ever been in American history, a president-elect, his transition team, and subsequent president surveilled? Has there ever been disseminat­ed and released to the press surveilled private conversati­ons that same president had with foreign heads of state? These releases of conversati­ons and names of persons were meant to damage the president and are a felony. If they can do that to the president of the United States, what can they do to you?

To think that the Obama administra­tion and then President Obama were not involved is naïve. As any honest person involved in politics would tell you this was all done with a wink and nod. It is called plausible deniabilit­y. There will probably never be any direct evidence of involvemen­t by Obama or his administra­tion.

So there you have it, factions in our government are actively working to discredit the president. And what are the liberals and their friends in the press concerned about? Whether or not President Trump tweeted accurately about "wiretappin­g." But there are more serious questions, such as our civil liberties being violated by the same government that is supposed to be protecting us. Steve Woodruff Griswold
