Trump is now the most dangerous whistleblower alive.
As usual, the president's tweets speak for themselves:
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!

I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!

We don't think Trump is exaggerating.
William Binney, a former top NSA official turned whistleblower, agrees:
Asked whether he believes the NSA is tapping Trump, Binney replied: “Absolutely. How did they get the phone call between the president and the president of Australia? Or the one that he made with Mexico? Those are not targeted foreigners.”
The President of the United States of America just accused his predecessor of tapping his phones before the election.
Pinch yourself. This is really happening.
Let the "draining" begin.
