Trump Bugged by Obama a Bigger-than-Watergate Cover-Up

Was the whole thing about having allegations about Russian intrusion into our election all about covering up the fact that the Democrats were wire-tapping Trump, and other Republicans, already? But, to avoid a Watergate scenario, in case it was found out, they could simply attach it to the Russian influence allegations? Was the plan to point fingers at the GOP and Russia being in cahoots with each other dreamed up so as to explain away illegal, Watergate-style wiretapping, so that it would be easier to get away with it in case the reality of what the Democrats were doing got out there? On Saturday, March 4, 2017, during the second hour of Constitution Radio with Douglas V. Gibbs, we addressed the allegations that Barack Obama used illegal wiretaps against Donald J. Trump during the election season. Here's a transcript of what we said: I began the conversation. "So here we are, we've got Donald Trump, puts out this tweet. Here's what he tweeted on Twitter. Say that five times fast. 'How long has President Obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process, this is Nixon Watergate, bad, or sick guy.' Watergate refers to the early [1970s]* political Scandal which forced the resignation of President Richard Nixon, Republican. It involved members of a campaign team to reelect the president being caught breaking into the Democratic party's headquarters in the Watergate building and bugging their offices. Trump also tweeted regarding this thing about the possibility of Obama tapping his phones; 'Terrible just found out that Obama had my wires tapped in Trump Tower, just before the victory, nothing found, this is McCarthyism.' McCarthyism was coined after the hunt for communists inside the American government and country of the early 1950s. Trump later added, 'Is it legal for a sitting president to be wire tapping a race for president prior to an election turned down by a court earlier; a new low.'
