    Let me guess the real news in your eyes is Trump is a "Russian" puppet...quit relying on very fake news for your daily source of fake information.

    This is a very serious allegation.

    That the President breaks on twitter?

    Then two hours later is talking about reality shows and golf?

    Zero proof is offered and then the President spends the next 24 hours saying nothing about it?

    This isn't how you handle your business as President of the United States. This is third world banana republic BS.

    If he has proof, he should have had a statement.

    If this is a naked and unsubstantiated statement by President Trump, then he needs to face severe consequences.

    He has as much proof as democrats have that Trump and his staff are Russian operatives...For democrats, talking to Russian statesman = conspiracy. Considering that Obama's Administration has been accused of wiretapping the AP in the past...Trump may or may not have any claim. Regardless...the allegations on twitter are just as damaging. Finally it is really amazing to see how every news station attacks Trump's tweet as without merit, but turns away when verifying false accusations made by senators from the Democratic party.

    Agreed.

    It might be true but he literally just tweeted it and provided no evidence or anything.

    Only complete idiots would take it seriously at this point in time. IF he comes back and provides something concrete, then it is serious. But right now, it is is nothing.

    I've tried several times to craft a response to this post but I give up. Our sides of the isle will never be able to agree on anything except that the Rockets are our team.

    All bickering aside, one thing certain is Trump dug his hole significantly deeper. I imagine he would love to have this morning's tweets back.

    With Carter Page and JD Gordon flipping on their old boss, the writing is on the wall. Better hope Vova Putin dispatches a sub to mar-a-lago beach.

    Hahahaha! You're using Donald Trump's twitter account to start a whole thread, bereft of evidence and incorrectly implicating a former president. Just no cred whatsoever. And then you tell another poster they can't "argue substance."

    As many reporters & commentators have mentioned, Obama cannot just order Trump bugged. Anyone-- Obama White House, FBI, etc.-- wanting to do so must first obtain a FISA warrant by convincing a judge that there is probable cause.

    So if Trump is right that he was bugged, he, not Obama, is the suspected of shady stuff.

    Yep, it was a horrible over reach, and I believe unconstitutional to do that to reporters. Of course I go even farther than that, and find that most of the expansion of wire-tapping permissions granted back in the Bush administration after 9/11 were problematic in regards to the constitutionality.

    Of course after that the DoJ reviewed and revised their process for wiretapping, and that was a good thing. That would have happened prior to the what Trump claims.

    Did you watch the video? Without any commentary on your post, I'm forced to assume, but I don't think it says what you think it says. The woman with the source just said they were doing their due dillegnece and that it had to be heavily scrutinized by a Fisa court to even get that far. So are you saying that Obama and admin are lying about asking for it or that it was the DOJ that got this done?
