This is big. Not just if the allegations by Trump turn out to be true, but also if they happen to be unfounded. American politics have descended to somewhere between the 6th and 8th circle of Hell. I am all in favor of a full investigation into both the Obama administration an the current Trump administration as it relates to surveillance during all of 2016 and so far this year. At this point some sense of order needs to be restored or more and more people not only in the US but around the world will lose faith in the American government.

IMO this has Valery Jarrett's fingerprints all over it. Lynch knew, Comey probably knew, hence the CF fiasco leading up to the election. Another possibility is the Obama administration carryovers are leaking false news knowing Trump will run with it and make a fool of himself. The least likely is that there is a connection between Trump and Russia, but if that were the case it would have been all over the news in the weeks leading up to the election.

Good post.

I said elsewhere that Trump would have to be crazy (and maybe in the end he is) to have made the accusation without solid evidence because the negative blow-back would be so great. False news aka a trap for Trump? Don't think so. Afterall, he is the president of the United States. One would have to assume that he's got the connections he needs to know what actually went down.

Also, I agree that this looks like a VJ caper and that she'll be linked to it in the end.

The biggest story out of this, though, will be that even after wiretapping their opponent, Hillary Clinton still could not manage to get herself elected.
