So, how is this NOT worse than watergate?
.
Because it wasn't political. It was legal.
Obama did not direct any actions against the Trump campaign and nothing in the government was used in any attempt to sway the outcome of the election.
Whether Obama "directed" surveillance or actions against Trump is not yet known because we have yet to get him under oath. But Clapper has admitted that Obama knew about it.
So it's pretty much a certainty that both Obama and Biden were aware of it and in the least, did nothing to stop it. That alone is disgraceful and inexcusable.
Comey already testified that the president was vaguely informed of the investigation into some people related to the Trump campaign.
Flynn was never under surveillance. His conversation was picked up because he talked to the ambassador. Flynn himself has stated he was well aware such conversation would be recorded by the administration, given his long history of working in intelligence.
What they did to Flynn is only a small part of the big picture: The wiretapping and surveillance on others, including Carter Page, Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, and more than likely including Donald Trump himself, the phony "dossier" which was paid for by Hillary, the FISA warrants, the subsequent Mueller investigation, and the Impeachment conducted by Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi.
All of those were a failed attempt to seditiously overthrow a duly-elected President, and it all points to the top, namely Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Like I said, this is the biggest political scandal this country has ever seen and someone is going to pay dearly for it.
