Simple question.

Why were those phones tapped? Because that's pure unadulterated corruption.

Because Hillary wanted to get dirt on Trump and thought she'd find something. Nothing interesting was found.

Then the DNC got hacked and this caused her and Obama to think "hmmm, could Trump be involved?" I don't think they really believed he was, but they wanted to try and pin it on him to hurt him in the election. The public didn't buy it and elected Trump anyway.

After that, they were enraged and just wanted revenge. So, they invented the story about "Russian hacking" and kept up the narrative that Trump was illegitimate.

Obama continued his spying during the transition as is evidenced by Flynn's calls being recorded. Furthermore, 17 days before Obama left office, he signed an EO that allowed 16 agencies to see unfiltered NSA spy data. He did this, of course, to make his leaks much harder to pin down.

We have one administration wiretapping another and then leaking "gotchas" to the press. There isn't a reason that could justify that.

We know Flynn's phones were tapped. Apparently Trump found out about others in his admin being tapped as well.

This is Totes' new gimmick - he takes things that are so obviously true and asks for links just to waste our time. Textboook Alinksky

The computer server was tapped because the FBI had probable cause to tap it. This is no conspiracy.

Why do Trumpkins believe everything he tweets?

Especially when he gets info from Alex Jones or Mark Levin.

If someone from the left used Pelosi as their source it would be laughed at and it would be unreliable.

The warrant was for servers in trump towers and it was limited to interaction with flagged Russian banks.

But yeah. Phones. With wires.

Flynn talked to a Russian ambassador who had a phone that was tapped. That is much different than Flynn having his phone tapped.

Did McCabe spill the beans to save his arse? One would have to believe ALL of the Chief Surrogates, pre and post election were tapped.

All in the name of National Security. Interesting to know who the second FISA Judge was who approved the 2nd Warrant.

Regardless of how wacky the conspiracy theory that was used to justify the wire taps....this is not okay.

It was used to leak "gotchas" to the press.

Again. Not okay.
