Let's play a game. Let's say it's eight years ago, and Barack Obama has just taken office, and it's revealed that during the 2008 presidential campaign, the Bush Administration sought (and on a limited basis, ultimately received) permission under FISA to wiretap Obama's headquarters. Obama raises holy hell about this. The Bush camp responds that there was nothing to this, and that the president was not personally involved with it, and there's nothing to see here.
Do you think the press would declare, as the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza did over the weekend about Donald Trump, that Obama is a paranoid conspiracy theorist, and that any burden of proof that Bush did anything wrong was on him?
