If Trump secretly conspired with the Russians or any other country to rig the election then I want to know.
Now the article didn't even imply that, let alone state that, but then many of husbands supporters were trying to prove it was true. So an article about an investigation into his associates became a story about an investigation into him because he made it about himself.
I just think Trump’s narcissism has made it seem more like a witch hunt than anything from the investigation.

I remember well. What happened is Mark Levin put together a bunch of MSM news articles which all mentioned wiretaps and electronic surveillance. Some of them said the FBI, Treasury and other agencies were investigating Alfa bank for connections to Trump Tower (remember that?). Some of them mentioned FISA warrants as well.
(Interestingly, Louise Mensch was the first to break the FISA warrant story - the same crazy conspiracy theorist Mensch who said Orin Hatch was going to take over the presidency after the "Supreme Court" put him in power. Mensch was right on the FISA stuff, though. No one to this day knows who her source was - she was ahead of all of the MSM on it. She is a former member of British parliament, so I suspect she knows people at MI6).
After Levin laid out his case, Breitbart wrote a piece on it. The day after Breitbart wrote the piece, Trump tweeted. The left went nuts saying Trump is believing Breitbart and "crazy conspiracy theorist" Levin. (Even though Levin used to be a lawyer at DoJ - he is anything but a crazy conspiracy theorist).
But Levin was right to be concerned. The articles he cited all mentioned Trump's team being under surveillance. One of the articles said the wiretapped information was "sent to the White House" (Obama's White House), yet we have Obama claiming during the election that he lets the FBI do it's job without any interference from the WH (lie).
Levin never claimed to have the whole story. He just said "Look, we have numerous MSM outlets reporting on wiretaps, we need to get to the bottom of why Obama was wiretapping an opposition candidate."
What's funny, is the NYT tried to backtrack and claim there were no wiretaps when their own article used the word "wiretap." It was rather Twilight Zoneish to see them try and deny their own reporting that anyone could read posted on their website. And they had the audacity to call people "conspiracy theorists" who took their own reporting at face value. It was very weird.
