Chaffetz: I've seen no evidence Obama ordered wiretap of Trump
Source: Politico

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz said Monday that he has seen no evidence that would support President Donald Trump’s accusation that former President Barack Obama had ordered an illegal wiretap of Trump Tower during last year’s presidential campaign.

“I learned a long time ago, I'm going to keep my eyes wide open,” Chaffetz (R-Utah) said on “CBS This Morning.” “You never know when you turn a corner what you may or may not see. But thus far I have not seen anything directly that would support what the president has said.”

Trump made his explosive and unsubstantiated accusation on Saturday morning, when he wrote on Twitter that he had “just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory.” While the president leveled the charge with certainty, White House officials have not yet offered any proof to back Trump’s claims and have instead called for a Congressional investigation to verify them.

Chaffetz was seemingly open to the notion of a Congressional inquiry into Trump’s allegation, telling “CBS This Morning” that the House Intelligence Committee, chaired by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), would take the lead in checking it out. The House Oversight Committee, Chaffetz said, “will play a supporting role.”

Your head is still in your rump, I see. We've had months of the Russian conspiracy and you suddenly can't wait for proof?

If there was a wiretap, there would be paperwork.

OK.


Here’s the List: More Than a Dozen Proven Victims of Obama’s Many Wiretaps
WikiLeaks released the following list on February 23rd (see link here) of Obama Administration wire taps:

* The US National Security Agency bugged a private climate change strategy meeting; between UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin;
* Obama bugged Chief of Staff of UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for long term interception targetting his Swiss phone;
* Obama singled out the Director of the Rules Division of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Johann Human, and targetted his Swiss phone for long term interception;
* Obama stole sensitive Italian diplomatic cables detailing how Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu implored Italy’s Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to help patch up his relationship with US President Barack Obama, who was refusing to talk to Netanyahu;
* Obama intercepted top EU and Japanese trade ministers discussing their secret strategy and red lines to stop the US “extort[ing]” them at the WTO Doha arounds (the talks subsequently collapsed);
* Obama explicitly targeted five other top EU economic officials for long term interception, including their French, Austrian and Belgium phone numbers;
* Obama explicitly targetted the phones of Italy’s ambassador to NATO and other top Italian officials for long term interception; and
* Obama intercepted details of a critical private meeting between then French president Nicolas Sarkozy, Merkel and Berluscon, where the latter was told the Italian banking system was ready to “pop like a cork”.

In addition to the above list we also know now that Obama wire tapped various individuals in the US media that were reporting information not flattering to the Obama Administration. It is widely known that Obama’s Justice Department targeted journalists with wiretaps in 2013:

* In 2013 the liberal Washington Post expressed outrage after the revelation that the Justice Department had investigated the newsgathering activities of a Fox News reporter as a potential crime in a probe of classified leaks. The reporter, Fox News’ James Rosen and his family, were part of an investigation into government officials anonymously leaking information to journalists. Rosen was not charged but his movements and actions were tracked.
* Also in 2013, members of the Associated Press were also a target of the surveillance. The ultra liberal New Yorker even noted that “In moderate and liberal circles, at least, the phone-records scandal, partly because it involves the dear old A.P. and partly because it raises anew the specter of Big Brother, may well present the most serious threat to Obama’s reputation.”
* Reporter Sharyl Attkisson said in 2014 that her personal computer and CBS laptop were hacked after she began filing stories about Benghazi that were unflattering to the Obama administration. A source who checked her laptop said the hacker used spyware “proprietary to a government agency,” according to an article in the New York Post.

Really? The NYT and the Washington Post have beenwriting about intercepted communications for some time now.

Are they making shit up?

That's why Trump is screaming about plugging the leaks. Too much real information is getting out.

 

[jc456]

You have to have some kind of special stupid disease to think a tyrant like Big Ears, would not spy on Trump.

Where is Rumps proof?
The man cannot prove anything

For crying out loud all the leaks are coming from surveilance. How do you think they are getting the information to leak?

Where is the proof? Any proof? This is just a feeble attempt to try and cover up the Russian connections, anything to attempt to change the subject

right? where is the proof that trump's campaign was in cahoots with russia after four months? funny how you want evidence and we ask for it your head falls off.

 

[TyroneSlothrop]

Donald Trump just needs to Recuse himself from anything having to do with "being President"...Sad.....

Did you notice everybody on that part of your list were FOREIGNERS? The president is constitutionally empowered to be in charge of all foreign relations, which would include spying on them. It's all perfectly legal, at least from our end. Those being spied upon may have laws in their country against it.

He legally spied on them all? But if Russia did it to us the libs foam over in outrage. Your mind is gone.

I can't believe that anyone in their right mind wouldn't think Trump was being bugged. I mean for months now we've been hearing about all the investigations for crying out loud.

" One official said intelligence reports based on some of the wiretapped communications had been provided to the White House."

[postman]

where is the proof that trump's campaign was in cahoots with the russia after four months? .

Start with those involved lying about where they were, who they spoke to, and what they were doing. If the communications between the Trump campaign staffers and Russia was legitimate, they wouldn't have lied and covered them up.

Because the FISA law only covers foreigners. Americans being wiretapped require criminal warrants, which require they be under investigation for a crime. See US Con Amend 4

is any of that true?

Flynn told Pence he never talked to the Russian Ambassador

Sessions told congress he didn't - did not have any communications with Russians.

For Flynn there were NSA intercepts of calls in and out of the Russian embassy. For Sessions it was his statement "I didn't - did not have any communications with Russians"

The purposely blind can't see. If DNC media tell them something, then they will believe.

Still waiting for a single piece of proof

It's amusing watching these idiots dance around the stark reality that they have no actual evidence of Trump's egregious claim on Twitter.

Proof is everywhere, but you must pull your head out of your stinky ass.

proof is north, south and around tikrit.

wrong on both accounts, would you like a second try and get the actual facts?

that was additional information on campaign activity with which he was involved with and not an answer to a question. you know this right? he was a sitting senator right? all senators talk to foreign ambassadors about the committees they run. That wasn't the point of the questioning. but hey nice try to spin it. but it is no lie.
