FBI might have incidentally caught Trump criminally conspiring with Russians or Russian agents that were coming and going at Trump Tower. The wire tap was probably to catch the suspected Russian agents (Flynn and Carter Page), who were coming and going at Trump Tower, and may have caught Trump on it. That is probably why Trump was originally protesting loudly he was wire tapped by Obama--knowing that he may be in deep doo doo. My educated guess.

What will Trump do? Sue the FBI?
Like to see him try.

I do take comfort in the occasional good news. And, I'm grateful to the patriots who are fighting for our democracy. I hope the movie makes their names famous for all time.

p.s. Read the book first. The book is always better than the movie.

If it turns out badly, obviously, I'm not looking forward to a hellscape future.
Did you even read my post? So thoughtless.

(15,696 posts)Of course, they were listening to Page and Flynn & maybe others. A 1 Hop trace means they can listen to the target. A 2 hop means they can listen to anyone the target talk/ corresponds with. A 3 Hop is adding anyone the 2Hop targets talk to, etc., etc., etc..

(82,849 posts)Trump lied about Obama wire tapping him because it was expedient in the moment (like most of Trump's lies) and because Trump didn't then and doesn't now know how the FBI works (which is to say that it's NOT the president's personal detective agency).
