President Trump dropped a bombshell this morning when he accused President Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower during the election campaign.
Trump tweeted, "Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!"
So how exactly did Trump find out about this (assuming, of course, he isn't lying through his teeth)?
Here are my choices:
a) James Comey
b) The Russians
c) Kanye West
d) His hairstylist
e) The voices in his head.
Let's just say that when a sitting President accuses his predecessor of having his home and offices bugged those aren't the words of a man who has put trivial fights behind him.
UPDATE: Glenn Kessler of The Washington Post may have an answer. The Trump White House is evidently relying on a Breitbart article written by Joel Pollak about conservative talk radio host Mark Levin's demand on his show Thursday night that Congress investigate Obama.
If this is the case does this mean President Trump "found out" from Steve Bannon?
Regardless of how Trump found out what does this accusation accomplish? Very simple. It mobilizes Trump's supporters, a group of people who are already energized. Say what you will about Trump supporters. They will run through a wall for him and then build a new one in its place.
