Wiretapping charge lacks evidence

Congressional leaders are ramping up pressure on the Justice Department and FBI to acknowledge whether there’s any information to support President Trump’s claim that the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Tower during the presidential election.

Our insecure little child in chief is having his bluff called by the adults in the room. Flurry of tantrum tweets is sure to follow.

If there was any kind of monitoring, it was done while monitoring a foreign adversary. The real question here would be: Why did the Trump campaign show up in a counterintelligence investigation?

Furthermore, if anything was done, it would have been with a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant and again, there is the question of why someone felt there was probable cause.

There’s a pretty good case, circumstantially, building up against Trump’s campaign in this. You can deny it, or say it happened for all the right reasons but the truth is, Trump and his associates may have behaved illegally or maybe unethically.

The only question for those of you who consistently defend the guy is: How far will you go to defend him?

Do the ends justify the means, just to get your political point across? And, having played this game from the other side when Hillary Clinton was on the hot seat, do you not believe that even if the wiretapping was politically motivated, turnabout is fair play? Or if it is not politically motivated, how far are you willing to sell the country out to push your agenda?

So now this obvious political witch hunt by Barack Obama is considered evidence of guilt?

Trump will stumble upon the fact that bullying and namecalling are not effective tools in Washington.
