If no proof is found for this misdirection ...

In order to draw attention away from the deepening crisis of his involvement with the Russians, draconian budget cuts to the EPA and the State Department, an unconstitutional immigration policy and incompetent Cabinet of billionaires bent on destroying the Departments they oversee, Trump has now accused Obama of wiretapping his conversations in the NY Trump Tower.

Of course, he has no proof and doesn't know you need a warrant from a FISA court to do so. So, what started as a right-wing conspiracy theory by the Brietbart wing of the GOP led by Bannon became a Trump tweet and was endorsed by Hannity on FOX News. Obviously it must be the truth.

And, of course, if no proof is found for this misdirection, it will be because the fake news media is in collusion with Obama and Hillary. Don't worry about Putin and Russia hacking and Trump's financial connections with the oligarchs.
