This is a pretty stunning headline.

The USA Today published an article titled “Did Obama spy on Trump?”

Then the opening line of the article reads: “It isn’t out of the question. The former president’s administration wiretapped journalists and spied on Congress.”

Folks, this is a major national paper making the claim that former President Obama engaged in KGB-like spying on journalists and Congress. Totally beyond the bounds of what any American should tolerate!

Here’s more from the USA Today article:

First, as Obama officials well know, under the FISA process, it is technically the FISA court that ‘orders’ surveillance. And by statute, it is the Justice department, not the White House, that represents the government in proceedings before the FISA court. So, the issue is not whether Obama or some member of his White House staff “ordered” surveillance of Trump and his associates. The issues are (a) whether the Obama Justice Department sought such surveillance authorization from the FISA court, and (b) whether, if the Justice Department did that, the White House was aware of or complicit in the decision to do so. Personally, given the explosive and controversial nature of the surveillance request we are talking about — an application to wiretap the presidential candidate of the opposition party, and some of his associates, during the heat of the presidential campaign, based on the allegation that the candidate and his associates were acting as Russian agents — it seems to me that there is less than zero chance that could have happened without consultation between the Justice Department and the White House.
