What if his lines were tapped? Who might want to do that and be capable of doing it? How about the same folks who hacked the DNC emails? Obama had no power to order wiretaps. The FBI or the DoJ might have but only as part of an ongoing investigation and with one or more FISA warrants. They're fairly easy to rule out and, apparently, Trump's presidential authority enables him to get all that information.<br /><br />If Trump isn't just blowing smoke up America's arse, if he was wiretapped, it's entirely conceivable to me at least that Moscow would have the most to gain from it.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-65600077353914097282017-03-06T09:28:03.306-08:002017-03-06T09:28:03.306-08:00Yes, Lorne.

In the old days they launched their smears at a distance, starting with open mouth radio shows. Now Trump does it directly, with a tweet. Much faster, much more powerful.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-61097654125545494312017-03-06T08:19:18.715-08:002017-03-06T08:19:18.715-08:00It would indeed be gratifying to see Trump booted ...It would indeed be gratifying to see Trump booted for repeating a Briebart lie.rumleyfipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346146988416679423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-20952350644708446682017-03-06T05:44:30.870-08:002017-03-06T05:44:30.870-08:00As the U.S, slips further into authoritarian madne...As the U.S, slips further into authoritarian madness, people would be wise to heed Nancy Pelosi's warning about "the wrap-up smear." http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2017/03/05/nancy-pelosi-trump-obama-wiretapping-claim-sotu.cnn/video/playlists/obama-vs-trump/Lornehttp://www.politicsanditsdiscontents.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.com
