GCHQ has already admitted to running this operation, so why are people still focussed as if it was a domestic operation? Certain Obama ordered, or horse-traded the spying, we know NSA/GCHQ/MOSSAD trade raw-data all the time.
JEW media will always be silent, Mossad theme is "By Way of Deception".

It's specifically about spying on a political opponent during an election campaign, even though it seems to have started before he was an official candidate, and that they blocked internal oversight processes to make sure it wasn't to aid the sitting party's ability to outmaneuver their enemy through insider information etc.
It's literally the death of democracy if it isn't aggressively punished. It means any future establishment administration can essentially legally spy on everyone that opposes them and share and act on gathered intel.

I know people who support Trump desperately want his statement about Obama wire-tapping Trump Tower to be true. The President made an extraordinary accusation about a former President without disclosing any corroborating evidence and now people are trying to either confirm or discredit his claim.
This could all be settled very easily. If President Trump has evidence that President Obama wire-tapped or surveilled Trump Tower, he should simply disclose this information. If President Trump was in error or passed along erroneous information, he should man-up and apologize. In either case the issue would be settled and we could move on to other matters.

What do you think just happened with Intelligence Co-Chairman Nunez this week? It's been shared, and the intelligence community was intentionally attempting to block Nunez from ever seeing the information he requested.
Trump just by-passed the intentional stalling via extending Nunez the ability to finally review exactly what he needed from inside the White House.

I think Trump has not shown his evidence or apologized. This is all President Trump has to do. He has all of the intelligence departments at his disposal. All Trump has to do is hold a press conference and show the evidence that Obama wire-tapped Trump Tower. Why can't he do that? He made the statement, why can't he back it up?
