And I'm finding the obvious bias of prefacing every single headline of Trump's wiretap claim with "unproven" "baseless", etc. to be annoying. It's a CLAIM. Period. Until it is proven. However, I doubt mightily that Trump is stupid enough to make such a claim, and double, triple and quadruple down on it without anything to back it up.

True - it seems like a stupid thing to do, but where is the stuff to back it up? If it's not secret-y enough to publicly and thoroughly quadruple down on, than it can't be a national security issue. Maybe he does have back up. But, nobody has seen it yet. Why is the leader of the free world making unsubstantiated claims?

Well, that information would be classified and have to be unclassified before it could be released.

If its classified, why is he talking about it on national tv?
Is anyone taking bets that CNN will claim that the newly defined "Viral Deceptions" aren't theirs, that they always and exclusively belong to other media outlets (usually on the opposite side of the Liberal/Conservative line from themselves)?
Well, when your country is so intent on preventing terrorism, both domestic and international, doesn't it make sense that your CIA would have developed the ability to get into things to watch/listen? How do they tell the Bad Ombres from the Not-So-Bad Ombres? They'd have to hack into many things to get a whisper. You can't ask for one and then complain about the other.

The documents are classified, as a VICTIM of wiretapping, he has every right to talk about it.

Sessions was in Trump Tower when he talked with the Russians, months before the election and he was a senator at the time of the calls.
Yup, sounds like the bugs are real.
And now, WikiLeaks will be verifying the bugs.
Well, therein lies the problem with the accusations and resignation of Flynn. It was one thing to monitor the Russians, but monitoring a U.S. citizen like that and taking down transcripts of the conversation was illegal. They are supposed to ignore it if they come across is b/c they didn't have a warrant for Flynn.

They still have to follow the law. And when they make transcripts of conversations they don't have warrants for and then LEAK those transcripts or use them against a U.S. citizen, that is wrong.
And a sitting administration wire tapping a rival political parties candidate? Wrong on so many levels. The Russian accusations were STUPID.
