Do you think President Obama could have ordered (covertly or overtly) wire-tapping of then President-Elect Trump?

I THINK Donald J Trump is trying to take the pressure off of Jeff Sessions but I don't think the President Obama would do that be Trump is Going hang himself for he has done wait until the Investgation is over with. I say what he Said lock him up lock him up lock him up.

Do you think a bunch of blowhard officers (and dipshit enlisted racist rednecks) can get through the day without trash talking Barrack Obama? No a chance

The better question is whether the current president coluded with the Russian government to win the election. Sadly, the more evidence we see the more it looks like he did. Which is worse? Investigating a criminal election campaign or treason?

More likely, the NSA and others collect a boatload of metadata and someone with an ax to grind and access went on a fishing expedition, found some stuff that would be embarrassing to POTUS, then leaked it (true or not) to the press.
This, if true, violates a number of federal statutes and is a felony... probably several.
The list of folks with access is pretty short, so identifying the leaker shouldn't be terribly difficult.

Just like sparring with trumpies there wont be much point to argue with some of these "gentlemen." However I ask this simple question, "if you are the president and the FBI, CIA, or other agency charged with the protection of the nation pick up information between an American and a known adversary, wouldn't it be in the best interest of national security to at least make sure the traffic is benign? I'm sure these fine Americans would say yes. It may turn out that is exactly the case. Since so many of the transition team have been indicted or already to have been found guilty it starting to look like prison, and not Christmas for them. Who else?

Absolutely, as a Naval Officer in the Intelligence community and understanding presidential powers, FISA courts, and tapping requirements, I have no doubt in my mind that there were shenanigans going on from both parties. If the Obama administration was so great and honest, then they never would have the changed the dictionary definitions purposely for facism or we would have had an actual raise that would have brought us up to the standard of living. Right now we are behind by at least 3% and I’m sorry, by liberal ideology was never supportive of the military, government civilians, or law enforcement and we saw this proof. I’ve been in for almost 28 year Enlisted and Officer to present and I can also say without a doubt that everything ended when Bush Junior took over, when we went from moderate Republicans and Democrats to the far left and right wing ideologies. This is a primary reason I support term limits to control the swamp and get fresh faces to help being us a modernized and fresh ideology. The POTUS and parties should support us although we support the constitution and not one specific party and obey our Commander in Chief, even if we do not support them.

Sadly, it is all to plausible, and the evidence does seem to point that direction. Will the truth come out? Probably not. The deck certainly seems stacked against that.

He might not have come up with the idea but you can bet your ass he was aware of it.
I have little doubt of his culpability.
As I stated in another post I will be delighted to at least see him answering questions in front of a judiciary committee with attorney by his side.

Of course it is possible. Look at his track record.

Of course he could have! The point here is that multiple investigations have shown he didn't despite Fox News reporting.
