Isn't the Russian ambassador wiretapped???
Something that happened recently had to do with it.

The White House is briefed on intelligence operations and investigations, news at 11.

Though Trump may not realize this because he often doesn't really have time to listen to those. Fox and Friends and Breitbart take up a lot of his morning activities already. Gotta set priorities!

"wiretapped communications were provided to the White House"

Has that ever happened before? Have wiretapped tapes of political foes ever been provided to previous White House administrations?

Okay, so then the issue isn't whether trump was wiretapped.
Seems he probably was.

The issue is whether Obama, specifically, ordered it?

You are splitting hairs. If Trump, a private citizen, was being taped by an Obama Administration without due cause and for reasons beyond the limits of the FISA order then SWHTF. Considering when it occurred (at the conclusion of a General Election for POTUS) then things could get very ugly for a lot of people.

Hung, right here.

These bozos never thought that it would get to the point where law and order would come into play: if the wiretaps were even legal.

That is why we gotsta get those warrants reviewed and see if all this shite was done correctly. What exactly was allowed to be monitored at Trump Tower?

It better be some serious shite Trump was up to, because a FISA warrant is nothing to take lightly. To get one entails terrorist activity and a danger to national security. Must have solid evidence that a suspect is a foreign agent if he is American.

If the MSM aka DNC propaganda wing says it's news, then it's news.

I wasn't splitting hairs. I was trying to make sure I understand the hairs that others are splitting.

Why would the US monitoring communications from our adversaries piss off the American People?

She didn't talk about a wiretap in that tweet. She referenced a slate article which says computer scientist found a trump server pinging ta Russian bank server

Is this the reason dems went on offense claiming "Russian" involvement into our elections in order to change the discussion on their own evil shite?
