President Donald Trump accused the Obama White House of wiretapping Trump Tower during the election. The main stream media, which assumes any Republican is guilty of all accusations regardless of facts, is quickly rising to the defense of Obama. The Washington Post responded by attacking Trump:
This, of course, is the same Washington Post famous for making wild accusations about the Trump campaign based on “anonymous sources.” But there are problems with the rush to judgment by the main stream media.
The statement by an Obama spokesman is a classic non-denial denial:
“A cardinal rule of the Obama Administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice. As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”
Note: He did not deny that Trump tower phones were wire tapped.
We know that the Obama administration tapped Mike Flynn’s phone. His private conversation was illegally leaked to the main stream media. That alone is clear evidence that the Obama White House was trying to sabotage the Trump administration before it even took office.
If there was a wiretap, it was probably done with a Federal Warrant. There will be a record of that.
With this type of reporting by the Washington Post, why would anyone be surprised if some FBI Agent or other DOJ official, reporting to Loretta Lynch, asked to wiretap Trump’s phone because they were furious about the DNC hacks and they were so sure Trump was guilty. Would it really be a surprise if a federal judge issued such a warrant?
According to the following article in Politico, the New York Times ran a story on January 19th admitting that the Obama administration was using U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies to probe alleged links between Trump’s campaign and Russian officials.

A New York Times article published on Jan. 19 — just one day before Trump’s inauguration — reported that U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies had intercepted communications and financial transactions as part of a probe of links between Trump’s campaign and Russian officials.
Hmmm INTERCEPTED COMMUNICATIONS? Sound like a wiretap to me.
We can be absolutely certain that if there was a shred of evidence leaking Trump to a Russian bank it would have been leaked to the main stream media long ago. It sure looks like the Obama administration was desperately seeking evidence to destroy Trump and that they continued this up until the day Trump was inaugurated. Numerous people in the main stream media are reporting that Obama officials deliberately spread intelligence (bread crumbs) to other agencies so that people seeking to destroy Trump would find the data.
How serious is this? Consider the following quote by Lindsey Graham, not exactly a Trump supporter:
“If the former president of the United States was able to obtain a warrant lawfully to monitor the Trump campaign for violating law, that would be the biggest scandal since Watergate,”
This is why the main stream media is desperately trying to scream down this story. Yes, it is exactly that bad and incredibly it is exactly that believable.
