For Obama to be forced to issue a defensive statement today in response to Trump is a harbinger of doom to the democrats.....So the story is that this request was rejected in June and accepted in October, just before the election. Now, IF this is true of course, I repeat, IF, it could have been a desperate game of high stakes for Obama.
Basically, I assume he would have done this for National Security purposes, an altruistic desire to protect the government from foreign influence. I try and see the best in people and believe this would be true, though it's hard to believe this considering the whole Clinton Foundation and massive funding from foreign depots (this International Foundation arm, since disbanded by the Foundation after her loss...hmmmm). So I have to believe it is plausible this was a serious, emergency situation. However...
What if it was purely as a fail safe plan, just in case Trump won? Was he going to do this in hopes it would expose some connection and take down Trump? Was he hoping to find some direct connection that would deny Trump a win if he did win and/or, simply leak this suspicion (as it appears was done to some degree with all the questions about Russia from some networks)?
IF this tapping occurred and IF it was done for political purposes, this is very poor judgement. Not just from the perspective of democracy and government over reach which borders on fascism, but, Obama had to know that this wiretape request would be leaked. Even if only a handful of people knew, it would be massive risk to assume it wouldn't surface and find the light of day if Trump won. Furthermore, knowing Trump, he wouldn't be silent about it, on the contrary.
So yes, if this report and accusation is accurate, it could spell serious trouble for the core of the Democratic Party. Certainly it would draw a number of supporters to the GOP, or, at best, it would probably create internal turmoil and a split of sorts from the Sanders-type supporters and the Old Democratic loyalists. It could even cause a major investigation into past Democratic activities against the GOP. From IRS targeting Conservatives to the AG turning a blind eye to Clinton activities.
So again, I suggest, IF this wiretap request is true AND this wasn't done for all of the right reasons and the purest, most patriotic reasons, the consequences could resonate very far.
Obama is trying to put out an inferno with a bucket......it's over for democrats....
