Eventually she had the DOJ (Department of Justice, under Eric Holder) Inspector General’s office sent investigators to look at her computers. Their "official" investigation concluded that her "backspace key was stuck." Yup, that will turn your computer on and off in the middle of the night every time.

For Trump to say that Obama wire-tapped Trump's communications, is like saying Putin invaded Ukraine. Did Putin really enter Ukraine? No, of course not, his people did.

Less than two days after Trump gave his well-received speech to Congress, the 24 hour news cycle was stolen by more leaks about his surrogates meeting with Russians. Breitbart came out with the Obama wire-tap story and he jumped on it to change the subject. Trump is very conscious of what's in the news cycle and managing it helped him win the campaign. He used this trick many times. Manipulating the media is his forte.
