There’s a report, if true, that would shake the foundation of American and political history.  Says President Trump…”I have just found out that President Obama had my wires tapped in Trump Tower just before the election.”  As yet there is no evidence.  However, it is widely known around Congress that Obama did ask for a Pfizer court ruling to allow such a tap in June of 2016.  It was turned down.  Then in October of 2016 Obama submitted a second Pfizer court request to tap Trump’s phones and received permission due to the suspicion that candidate Trump had connections with the Russian government in some form.

Former Obama aid Ben Rhodes has quickly responded “No President can order a wire tap.” That is true.  But, a Pfizer court ruling would allow it.  With all the noise of Russian involvement in our election it is reasonable to suspect a judge (especially one favorable to Obama) would give the okay for the tap.  President Obama is too smart to issue a statement of any kind because that would make it a more major story.  Especially knowing his friends in the media will cover for him.

Senator Lindsey Graham says he will investigate.  House Speaker Paul Ryan indicates a concern. There are two possibilities with regard to this issue.  Either President Trump is using this accusation to take the story away from his Attorney General Jeff Sessions controversy.  Or the FBI (with Obama involvement in some form) was looking into criminal involvement somehow with the Russians.   It has been confirmed President Trump was furious that Att. Gen. Session’s recused himself from any Russian involvement.   Now Trump must rely on his non appointed Obama holdover Deputy Attorney General to look into this issue while the Democrat’s in the Senate will further stall the President’s appointee.

It much appears the latter is more likely.  Trump had been suspicious and following these developments for some time.
