Michele Bachmann: FBI listening in on Trump staffer Russian calls "1000 times worse than Watergate"

Michele Bachmann: FBI listening in on Trump staffer Russian calls is ‘1000 times worse than Watergate’



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/04/michelle-bachmann-fbi-listening-in-on-trump-staffer-russian-calls-is-1000-times-worse-than-watergate/

Speaking with USA Radio host Rusty Humphries on Monday, the former lawmaker — who chose to step down in 2015 — echoed Trump’s Twitter complaints that the media should be covering the surveillance and not the Trump-Russia connection, reports Western Journalism.

“This is a thousand times worse than Watergate,” Bachmann told Humphries. “This is the only thing the press should be talking about for the next month.”

“This is against the law. What the Obama administration did is surveil Americans citizens for political purposes to hurt the Trump campaign politically,” Bachmann asserted, leaving out that the intelligence agencies picked up the Trump aides when listening in on Russian conversations.

Bachmann accused the Obama administration of being ‘bold and lawless,” before adding that she thinks Democrats are asking for hearings on the “fake news” about Russian involvement to keep the Justice Department from looking at “high officials in the Obama administration,” who could end up in jail.

What the FBI found when listening in on the calls between Russian operatives and Trump staffers is very likely a thousand times worse than Watergate.
