In a bipartisan statement, the Senate Intelligence Committee found no evidence of surveillance of Donald Trump. Trump needs to apologize to President Obama. Trump never apologized for his racist birthed rants, but he must apologize for this slander.
Given the White House's support of alternative facts, Roland Martin suggests that a policy of drug testing White House officials is appropriate.

The delusional, racist, liar that is Trump says that he knows that he was the target of surveillance via his own media sources. He says that he will supply information to the intelligence committee at some point. Hopefully, he will submit the astonishing things that his investigators found in Hawaii about President Obama's birth certificate.

Poor Trump, people keep misunderstanding his tweets. I'm sure we all know that one name for news gathering organizations is a wire service.
When Trump used wire, in quotes, he was referring to the wire services. Newspapers like the NYT and the Washington Post all of which Trump Tower has a subscription to and are in the waiting rooms all over Trump Tower.
As Spicer said, "The President used the word wiretaps in quotes to mean, broadly, surveillance and other activities." Surveillance simply means close observation of a person or group.
Obama was certainly using newspapers and other news services, i.e. wire services, to closely observe Trump and his associates. While not the actually physical copies in Trump Tower he was reading the exact same articles on line that were in the Trump Tower. Since Trump doesn't like to read and rarely does it Obama's, and Hillary's, voracious reading did give them a very unfair advantage. Nixon, for all his flaws and crimes, was also a voracious reader. In fact he was the last republican president who read to gather information for his policy decisions. One could say that Obama's habit of reading is Nixonian. That's all Trump was trying to say. It was all just a misunderstanding.
On an off topic note this isn't the only misunderstanding I've seen recently. Some are claiming the CBO estimates 24 million people will lose their insurance under the Trump/Ryan plan. The truth is that 24 million people will find their spending on health care insurance reduced to zero. The MSM distorts the truth again.

I find that the internet news is overflowing with ridicule of Sean Spicer's most ridiculous to date press conference trying to defend Trump on this and Kellyanne basically doing the same. And about GOP and even some in the administration washing their hands of it,
but my top rated so far goes back to the source,
Chris Cillizza @ WaPo takes a transcript of Trump's interview with Tucker Carlson last night and highlights and annoates all the crazy stuff, in Donald Trump’s explanation of his wire-tapping tweets will shock and amaze you
So are we sure we are just dealing with a narcissist and not a manic depressive?

How will history judge this black mark in our history, where Russian toadies are in the cabinet; where cabinet members are chosen AND APPROVED BY CONGRESS whose main task is to ruin the very agency that they are supposed to lead.
How cheap do you have to be to defund Meals-On_Wheels? The annual expenditure is less than a trip to Mari-Lago and Melanoma's staying in NYC for.a weekend.
This is much more serious than a stupid narcissist. These guys have been infiltrate by the Russians.

Mike Pence was sold as an innocent who knew nothing about Flynn. Rep. Elijah Cummings sent a letter informing the Trump transition team led by Pence that Flynn worked for a foreign government. Pence is a liar.

Note:
for some reason the Charlotte Observer links now points to another story.
Here is a link to the Cummings letter to Pence at Business Insider.

Cummings letter sent Nov 18, so quite early in the process.
And Flynn received $34K to speak in Moscow. (as Cummings dredges out)
