Could Obama have wiretapped so many members of Congress as insurance?

So that there would be so much dirt on so many members that they would be afraid to vote to release the memo to save their own skin?

Absolutely. You’re crazy if you think this stopped just at Trump

Who would need to. They frick up enough in very public ways and barely get called on that. Why waste the money/manpower/capital on electronic surveillance?

You should ask you really wired in sources why they did then.

I believe that those who were blackmailed chose to retire and those who were just spied on only found out recently because of the memo.

He probably spied on Michelle with a 24 hour dedicated CIA satellite.

It really explains the ridiculous machinations of Judge Roberts on the ACA decision.

I would love to know what his dirt is.

And will this be enough for them to vote against release of the memo?

Why not? The Clintons had all those FBI files back in the day, many of them belonging to politicians.

I believe that all republicans voted for the release of the memo... all dems against it.

I can't wait for information to come out showing that Obama and the DNC not only abused FISA and the IC was weaponized, but they partnered with Google to store illegally obtained info, classified data, etc.

It will be glorious.

To be fair he wasn't in the House at the time. He was governor of SC. And I think she was the one to officially leave. He just wanted her to accommodate his need for the occasional weekend away with his soulmate.

Full disclosure, Sanford hates Trump so I overlook his sordid past.

Obama is already on the hook for spying on Trump and Rand Paul. That right there is already bigger than Watergate, so if this goes even more widespread we may be dealing with charges!

He tapped phones of 2 opposing party candidates and kept on tapping Trump while he was waiting to take office... If he was spying on the entire opposition this will be a disaster for the dims. I mean this corrupt scumbag weaponized the IRS to shutdown the tea party movement for the 2012 election and from what I'm reading he upgraded to weaponizing the DOJ/FBI to perform illegal surveillance????
