Klamath Falls, OR—— By tweeting without thinking, Trump may have declassified a warrant and brought down his entire presidency. A Tweet May Get Trump Impeached As President as he Declassified a FISA Warrant On His Own People.
House Intelligence Committee member Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) explained that Trump might have declassified a warrant against his own people with his tweet. Rep. Himes said, “Talking about a particular warrant, the existence of a warrant is something you simply don’t do. So when I wake up this morning and find that the President is tweeting about it. Mind you, he is the ultimate declassification authority, and if he just declassified the existence of a FISA warrant on his people.”
Presidents do not have the power to order wire taps. No President can order a wiretap. Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like Trump.
President Obama reminded America of what a real president looks like by returning to demolish Trump’s lie that the former president ordered a wiretap on Trump Tower.
Statement from Obama:
Notice that former President Obama stated the obvious. He never wiretapped Trump Tower, because presidents can’t order surveillance. What has not been denied by anyone is that a warrant was obtained from the FISA court and Trump Tower was under surveillance.
The idea that Obama's administration authorized — and was able to get approval for — the wiretapping of the opposition party's candidate for president is, frankly, far-fetched. And if someone is making that claim — as Trump is now doing — the burden of proof is on them.
Although Trump provided no information that he may have been monitored, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) stated that the president may want to lawyer up.
“Mr. President: If there was a wiretap at Trump Tower, that means a fed judge found probable cause of crime which means you are in deep shit,” Lieu wrote. After providing a link to a Washington Post article on Trump’s tweets and the fallout, Lieu took it a step further.
The ball is in Trump's court. Short of convincing evidence to back up the wiretapping claims, the conspiracy-theory candidate has become the conspiracy-theory president.
