NRCC claims Obama surveillance of Trump 'confirmed'
Source: The Hill
BY MAX GREENWOOD - 03/23/17 12:33 PM EDT
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is claiming that allegations that former President Barack Obama ordered surveillance of President Trump were "confirmed" Wednesday by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.).
In an email to supporters on Thursday, the NRCC wrote that Obama was accused of surveilling Trump, as well as members of his transition team, leading with the subject line, "Confirmed: Obama spied on Trump."
"Former President Obama is accused of spying on Donald Trump in his final days in office," reads the email, which described it as "disturbing news."
"No other president has ever even been accused of spying on his successor." In fact, there has been no confirmation that Obama was spying on Trump, a charge the president first made earlier this month.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

My money is on Carter Page --and that kid who admits he was told to submit the Russian sanctions relief language to the Republican Party Platform committee-- to drop a few dimes on Trump and his co-conspirators.

And the best part is if this was "true" where is the special prosecutor", and "independent Investigation, how about some FEDERAL GRAND JURY IMPANELED" not some commission , they want to play some game well let's have it

Gotta keep up the bullshit fear of that 'other' president to rake in the $$$$.
Trump's been "accusing" Obama since a bit of light started to seek through the bullshizz Trump hid his traitorous Russian interactions behind. It's called deflection and it stinks like the rancid desperation of a guilty man who knows karma's about to bite him in the butt to me.

God I hope there is some justice in the world and these assholes are revealed for who they are and spend the rest of their lives in prison.
