Breitbart and Hannity are probably to try and get the discussion off Russia.
The president by law cannot request wire taps. The only ones who can are the Dept. of Justice and they have to go through a FISA court. And the FISA court would not agree to it
unless there was strong evidence of wrong doing.
So if Trump really was wire tapped (meaning had his foreign calls listened into), then
there had to be strong evidence of wrong doing to justify it.
Trump accuses Obama of ‘wire tapping’ Trump Tower phones
Trump’s allegation that Obama carried out “Nixon/Watergate”-like wire-tapping comes at a time when his own administration’s constant leaks and controversies have drawn comparisons to Nixon’s White House. His complaints of McCarthyism come from a president who was
mentored by McCarthy adviser Roy Cohn and whose focus on rooting out undocumented immigrants has troubled critics who fear allegiance tests.....
It appears that the crux of that argument comes from reporting that U.S. officials secretly monitored a computer server in Trump Tower to determine if there were links to Russian banks. 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.
There has been no definitive reporting, however, that any phone lines belonging to the Trump campaign were tapped. If a judge found probable cause to conduct such secret monitoring, it likely would have been after being presented with enough evidence to suspect illegal conduct or communication with a foreign leader.
If Trump was really wire tapped (old term as it is not done that way anymore), then his administration should be worried as there is evidence against them. As in Trump administration and Russia.
