Help me understand Trump Investigation

Sorry not that easy. Its more than that.

Trump specifically accused Obama of wiretapping him, there is no evidence so-far that proves that Obama ordered surveillence of trump.

Investigation of Trump campaign =\= Trump ordered to be surveilled

No it's not. This is how they spied on Netanyahu. Skirting law and potential embarrassment by only eavesdropping on everyone he talks to.

If the Russian ambassador was the subject of that tap, and the transcript was not declassified, then someone committed a felony.

This parsing of words is desperate. Bottom line is we know for a fact that a wire tap was used to listen to Gen Flynn during the transition based at Trump Tower, and that intel was used against the Trump administration. This is certainly only a fraction of what was actually going on. We also know that Trump servers were hacked by the IC as part of an investigation into Russian collusion.

You would have to be the village idiot to assume that his tweet, however you read it, doesnt ring true.

I think it is the lying that is really keeping this going. Officials saying that they didn't have contact with Russian officials, when news comes out they did in fact did.

It creates a lot of smoke where there may or may not be a fire.

Then this Manafort story.

It just leads to a lot of questions and suspicions.

Exactly, why lie? The coverup may turnout to be worse than the crime

The problem is they aren't trying to cover up anything because there was no crime. Talking to people who are connected to russians is not illegal. All the left has in inference and conjecture. The say they talked to this person so they were obviously committing illegal and probably treasonous acts. They don't mention that Trump and many of his associates are global business men who routinely talk to all manner of foreigners.

This has been explained about 5000000 times.

If person A calls person B, and person B is being 'tapped', person A can be heard on the call without actually being 'tapped'.

Also, if person A calls person B, and person A is being 'tapped', and person A is calling person B from person C's house, that does not mean that person C is being 'tapped'.

You are, of course, wrong.

Let's use an example.

Let's say Bob is talking to Carl from Steve's house. Now , for the purpose of this conversation that the FBI has a warrant for Steve's phones.

Now, Bob IS being wiretapped when he talks to Steve. It doesn't matter which end of the line he's on. That' s just the way it works.

That's why in the case of a FISA warrant, any Americans scooped up during a wiretap are supposed to be shielded. If it wasn't a wiretap, there would be no reason to shield them.

No, they dont. Comey talked about this. They can investigate the potus because no one is above the law.

Of course they can, but you can bet your arse that Obama was well aware of this investigation while he was POTUS. You don't run an operation that sensitive without Presidential approval.
