Donald J. Trump is in command of the world’s most impressive intelligence-gathering network.<\/p>\n

He is commander in chief of the world’s greatest military machine.<\/p>\n

Does he rely on those immense tools to inform him of the “fact,” as he put it, that Barack Obama wiretapped his campaign offices at Trump Tower?<\/p>\n

Oh, no. He relied on talking heads, such as Fox News’s Bret Baier and Sean Hannity; he also has relied on news stories in the “failing” New York Times that “talked about wiretaps.”<\/p>\n

With that, the president of the United States launched his Twitter tirade alleging that the former president broke the law.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Senate and House intelligence committee leaders — both Democrat and Republican — say they have “no evidence” of any wiretapping occurring at Trump Tower. Ditto, said House Speaker Paul Ryan.<\/p>\n

It ain’t there. The president now wants us to believe yet another lie?<\/p>\n\n
