Four Days After Sane Speech, Crazy Donald is Back
Trump accuses Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower
President Trump on Saturday claimed President Obama had his “wired tapped” in Trump Tower before Election Day, tweeting the accusation without offering evidence.
“Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!” he wrote.
“Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!” he added in subsequent tweets. “I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!”
It was not immediately clear whether Trump had any proof or was referencing a report. Breitbart News on Friday reported on conservative radio host Mark Levin’s claim that Obama executed a “silent coup” of Trump via “police state” tactics. White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon was the executive chair of Breitbart before joining Trump’s team.
Observers have noted the president’s tendency to tweet things — including a 2003 photo tweeted Friday of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) with Russian President Vladimir Putin — shortly after they were published on pro-Trump blogs like Gateway Pundit or conservative websites like Drudge Report.
Moments earlier, Trump had also linked Obama to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s meetings last year with Russia’s U.S. ambassador.
“The first meeting Jeff Sessions had with the Russian Amb was set up by the Obama Administration under education program for 100 Ambs,” he tweeted.
Sessions on Thursday said he would recuse himself from any investigations into Russia’s links to Trump’s team, after massive outrage over the revelations that he met with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak twice during the campaign, then denied doing so during his confirmation hearings.
Trump on Saturday also blasted Obama for meeting with Kislyak 22 times while president, tweeting: “Just out: The same Russian Ambassador that met Jeff Sessions visited the Obama White House 22 times, and 4 times last year alone.”
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Four days? I'm surprised it took that long. Somebody has to take that twitter machine away from him.

The Show is back!
What better way to distract from his failures, and the Russian connection, that to go pick a fight with the last President?
Time after time we see Trump turning to the crazy, conspiratorial stuff that is candy for his perpetually suspicious and enraged base.
One trick pony.

Unless Trump can offer some proof of this, the Congress should demand he have a psychiatric evaluation.
And, if he cannot offer proof, isn't this slander?
Obama should sue.

More like trying to keep the people forgetting all the promises he made.
He can sign all the EO's he wants and have all the tweet storms he wants , but he has to get things done for the people who elected him.

Re: Four Days After Sane Speech, Crazy Donald is Back
What is surreal with all of this is that a President CANNOT unilaterally order a wire tap on anyone. IF wiretaps WERE done on Trump or his associates it had to go through a legal process before a FISA court and enough evidence had to be presented to give credence to a legal and national security reason to authorize such a tap. This perhaps Trump is "hanging himself" with his one tweets.
It will be interesting to see IF his tweets actually make the whole case even worse.
This whole thing is NOT going away and the more we learn the more we realize we need the full story from all concerned.

Re: Four Days After Sane Speech, Crazy Donald is Back
I wasn't aware that Kenyans had the technological ingenuity to accomplish a wiretap.
Trump is an embarrassment to the office of president, the American people, and the U.S. around the world.

More and more you have to think that he is really mentally unbalanced.

In a real democracy, he wouldn't last beyond this summer.
