Obama: the trap is closing.

We have had stories by the NYT that Obama suspected collaboration between the Trump campaign and Russia. So, he ordered surveillance of Trump and advisors. The results of the surveillance (called wiretaps in the old parlance) were disseminated widely in order to stop the incoming Administration from making them disappear. That is, of course, illegal.

The 'drive-by-media' called Trump a liar and even produced a phoney poll that this reduced him in the opinion polls. But, Trump had the goods on them all along.

Now, the news comes out that YES the Trumps team was surveilled (i.e. wire tapped in the old parlance) and that the names of those surveilled were unmasked. This is a felony.

Democrats (on and off FOX) claim that the Trump people accidentally got caught up in the surveillance of Russian activity.

There are two problems with that. The info turned over to Nunez shows that the FISA warrant authorizing the surveillance was NOT about Russian activities. Furthermore, the Russians could be surveilled without a warrant. A FISA warrant is needed only for the surveillance of Americans. So, Obama most likely looked for an excuse to wiretap Trump and his team and told  the Agencies involved to deny everything. Except a whistleblower sent some documents to Nunez.

Democrats are up in arms that Nunez did not show them the documents. That means that the documents show the name of the Whistleblower, which the Dems want to know desperately so they can make the Whistleblower the issue instead of the content of the documents. The FBI has refused to send Congress requested mateials.
