<p>This weekend, President Donald Trump claimed that the Obama Administration <a href="https://punchingbagpost.com/obama-wire-tapping-the-trump-campaign-if-true-biggest-scandal-in-american-history/" target="_blank"><strong>wiretapped Trump Tower</strong></a> during the election.</p>
<p>&ldquo;This is McCarthyism!&rdquo; he tweeted on Saturday, later comparing the alleged wiretapping to Nixon&rsquo;s Watergate scandal.</p>
<p>There is little evidence to support Trump&#8217;s wiretapping claim, but there&#8217;s no shortage of evidence to prove that the Obama Administration tried to undermine Trump&rsquo;s presidential campaign.</p>
<p>Radio host Mark Levin calls it &ldquo;Obama&rsquo;s silent coup&rdquo; and has criticized lawmakers for focusing on Trump and Sessions when they should be concentrating on Obama.</p>
<p>Levin laid out a detailed timeline in describing the case against Obama. The timeline was later expanded by <em>Breitbart</em> and published on March 3rd: ;</p>
<p><strong>June 2016:</strong> Obama Administration files a FISA request to monitor four Trump advisers for suspected connections with Russia. The request is denied.</p>
<p><strong>July 2016:</strong> Trump makes an off-color joke about Russia that spurs Clinton and media to claim that he invited further hacking. ;</p>
<p><strong>October 2016:</strong> WikiLeaks releases hacked John Podesta emails that mortally wound Clinton campaign. The Dems say Trump is working with Russia. ;</p>
<p><strong>October 2016:</strong> ;Obama Administration obtains FISA warrant. As reported by <em>Heat Street: ;</em></p>
<p>&ldquo;The FBI&rsquo;s counter-intelligence arm, resources say, re-drew an earlier FISA court request around possible financial and banking offenses related to the server &hellip; the second (request) was drawn more narrowly and was granted in October after evidence was presented of a server, possibly related to the Trump campaign, and its alleged links to two banks; SVB Bank and Russia&rsquo;s Alfa Bank.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>The FBI finds no evidence of criminal behavior. &ldquo;Rather than drop the matter for lack of evidence of criminal offenses, the Justice Department and FBI pursued it as a national-security investigation,&rdquo; reports ;<em>National Review. ;</em></p>
<p>As <em>Breitbart</em> points out, &ldquo;The Obama Administration is now monitoring an opposing presidential campaign using the high-tech surveillance powers of the federal intelligence services.&rdquo;  ;</p>
<p><strong>January 2017:</strong> A former British intel operative compiles an outlandish dossier full of unverifiable rumors about Trump and Russia. <em>Buzzfeed</em> publishes the entire document, admitting that it is &ldquo;unverified and potentially unverifiable.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p><strong>January 2017:</strong> Obama Administration expands NSA sharing, making it far easier for intel on private citizens to be shared or leaked. ;</p>
<p><strong>January 19th, 2017:</strong> As reported by the <em>New York Times</em>, the FBI, the NSA and CIA, and the Treasury Department are all spying on Trump associates in order to find Russian ties. ;</p>
<p><strong>February 2017:</strong> Michael Flynn accused of discussing sanctions with Russian envoy Sergey Kislyak and of misleading VP Mike Pence. Flynn resigns. ;</p>
<p><strong>February 2017:</strong> The <em>NY Times</em> insists Trump campaign had &ldquo;repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials.&rdquo; Trump denies these claims; the <em>Times</em> admits it has no real evidence.  ;</p>
<p><strong>March 2017:</strong> <em>The Washington Post</em> lambasts AG Jeff Sessions  ;for speaking with Sergey during Trump campaign after previously saying he had no contact with the Russians. ;</p>
<p>This timeline suggests that the Obama Administration knowingly spied on the Trump campaign and continued to monitor it despite a lack of evidence of anything illegal. NSA rules were relaxed so that evidence (including conversations between private citizens) could be shared in such a way that the media would inevitably gain access to it. ;</p>
<p><strong>Author&#8217;s Note:</strong> This entire situation is disturbing in the extreme.</p>
<p>Are there officials who dislike Trump so much that they are willing to spead a story that will lead to widespread public fear that the President of the United States is compromised by Russia. Yes. Are there officials who are so afriad of Trump&#8217;s potential connections to Russia that they are willing to risk a public firestorm just to get an invesitgation underway? Probably.</p>
<p>Does the media hate Trump so much that it is willing to ;print unverified claims just to mock him? Definitely. ;</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s Note:</strong> If this had happened to Obama it would have been headlines for a year. But the liberal media is invested in long running stories with no proof behind them.</p>
