Was it appropriate for Obama to actively investigate presidential campaign during election

[Anonymous]

How about we wait for this investigation until Trump provides proof that Obama was born in Kenya?

Are they going to do endless investigations into the previous administration to undermine the IC? Because there otherwise would be no reason for this.

The same committees who brought on the endless Benghazi hearings would then be in charge of endless hearings illustrating the failure of the national security and law enforcement communities, while portraying Trump as a victim and this consolidating his power.

Jeez, this is nefarious.

Warrantless wiretapping is even more serious if proven to be true. Clapper is in the thick of the whole plot.

Congress needs to subpoena WH daily intelligence report from last year to see Obama's involvement.

Exactly.

Exactly not. This didn't and isn't happening. Your generalissimo isn't getting rescued by an unforced Obama errorZ

Oh, horsesh*t.

You really think Congress has nothing better to do than go back and examine a constitutional law professor who had an 8 year presidency free of scandal? When was the last time we had that?

It's really remarkable that they would not instead take a closer look at the current president, whose very election was a scandal. The guy who
- still refuses to show his tax returns,
- has no relationship whatsoever with truth,
- is brazenly monetizing the office with the help of his family
- skipped ethics training
- and then announced that no one in his White House was beholden to ethics laws
- identified the DOJ, the Intelligence Community and the media as "the opposition" before new curtains could even be hung
- then made appeals to all three of those entities to, you know, kinda help him out here
- has had three appointments fall from their post (if you count Sessions' recusal) in less than two months.
- done more scandalous sh*t in under 100 days than anyone can keep up with.
- is very clearly the most untrustworthy person in the federal government. And that's saying something.

Why the f*ck should anyone believe HIM when he says Obama should be investigated?

You people have really lost your damned minds. Which is, I guess, the Republican plan for staying in power.

Hillary runs in 2020.
The Trump administration has evidence of her campaign colluding with a foreign government.
Would you also say that it is appropriate to investigate her campaign?

BINGO.

But it's Hilary we are talking about. She's demonstrated she can't be trusted.

The fact that Trump has managed to conjure an "issue" out of his a$$ to have the GOP House investigate, when HE HAS ACCESS TO ANY AND ALL PROOF HIMSELF is amazing, and even more amazing, the GOP is going along with it, and even more amazing, you people are falling for it hook line and sinker.

If he has evidence, he can produce it any moment he wishes He doesn't. This is a completely fabricated issue. When Comey. Clapper etc all get marched up to Capitol Hill and either say there was no FISA warrant or produce evidence that there was, Trump will claim they are lies and "fake news" and this is a witch hunt.

Are you going to believe that?

Just because Trump said something does not mean it's fact. After all, in his address to the joint session of Congress he made 61 statements of which 51 turned out to contain falsehoods.

If Trump said something it's more likely to be false than true.

So the media lied by telling us they had information via wiretapping re: Trump?

The NYT ran the wiretapping story before the election. Did they lie?

You can keep saying that until you're blue in the face, but it doesn't make it true. We can start with Fast & Furious gun program. Do you want more scandals?

OMG. That doesn't mean Trump was wiretapped. If true, it means there was wiretapping of some foreign agent and Trump got caught in it because he was communicating with that foreign agent. Reading is fundamental.

Yes it's appropriate. Also appropriate for The President to now investigate BHO and his associates for sedition, espionage--deliberately lowering classifications on intelligence material to increase circulation thus causing grave harm to us capabilities, and collusion with foreign powers to weaken the US. Guess who's taking a warrant request to the FISA court now?

No investigation necessary. Either there is evidence, which he has access to, or he doesn't. Produce the evidence if it is true.
