The appointment of a special prosecutor to conduct the investigation would be sufficient.
I found it laughable this weekend listening to these liberal demanding to be shown "proof". I wanna say to them. You First! Where's the "proof" of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians to "fix" the election so cunningly that they allow Clinton to win the popular vote and yet lose the election.
Since when did proof ever stop the democrats from investigating or demanding the investigation of anything in the past....or present. One thing I know for certain. There's at least as much proof of Obama sticking his nose into Trump's business as there is to the Trump campaign colluding with the Russians.
Even when the dems have repeatedly been told there has been NO PROOF found against the Trump campaign, what do they do? They keep digging. Well, keep the shovel hot boys because now there needs to be digging about Obama's part in this.

It wouldn't be the first time, or second, or third, or fourth, or fifth ... and who knows which ones were never uncovered.
0bama and his cronies have quite a pattern of listening illegally to all sorts of people's conversations and communications. It is quite possible he was hoping he had gotten so good he would not be caught... or he was counting on Hillary being elected so no one would investigate.
1.)In 2013, documents released by ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowden exposed the Obama administration’s spying of allied heads of state. President Obama’s NSA surveilled the phone conversations of 35 world leaders.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel was “livid” over substantiated reports that the U.S. government was monitoring her mobile phone.
2.) During negotiations over the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2015, the NSA spied on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and recorded private conversations of members of Congress and Jewish groups to gather intel on the deal’s opposition. This, of course, took place after Obama sent taxpayer money to help defeat Netanyahu in the Israeli elections (unsuccessfully).
The spying on Bibi Netanyahu, Congress members, and Jewish groups was after Obama had promised to end the NSA’s mass data collection, in response to the resulting backlash from Snowden’s leaks.
3.) The Washington Post referred to a “sweeping and unusual move,” the Obama Justice Department secretly subpoenaed two months’ worth of 2012 phone records from Associated Press journalists. Federal authorities seized more than 20 records from cellular, office, and home telephone lines, a move the AP characterized as “serious interference with A.P.’s constitutional right to gather and report the news.”
“These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP’s news gathering operations, and disclose information about AP’s activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know,” AP President and CEO Gary B. Pruitt wrote to then-Attorney General Eric Holder.
4.) In 2015, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah found that a Secret Service agent “improperly accessed the agency’s restricted database” to embarrass the Utah congressman by leaking details of his unsuccessful job application with the service. A follow-up investigation revealed that at least 45 Secret Service agents accessed the Chaffetz file, potentially in violation of the U.S. Privacy Act.
Screenshots of the file were “circulated widely around the agency” and Assistant Director Edward Lowery suggested leaking the information to the press in retaliation against the investigation.
5.) In 2010, the Obama administration collected the phone records of Fox News reporter James Rosen, and his parents, additionally seizing two days’ worth of his personal emails as part of a leak investigation. The affidavit seeking the court-approved warrant referred to Rosen as a criminal “co-conspirator” under the Espionage Act. No charges were brought against Rosen, and the White House Correspondents’ Association slammed the Obama administration’s tactics and targeting of reporters.

However...
People are arrested and charged daily that the public are made aware of but proof of their crimes are not revealed because the investigation is not closed. If I was Trump, I wouldn't release any proof I had either until the right time. I wouldn't be giving those responsible time to prepare and construct their lies and denials. Let the pigs sweat and let the press bang their head against the wall.

So the folks talking about Russian/Trump involvement but not showing proof are bad but Trump making these accusations but not showing proof is good. Got it....

I would bet that wire tapping occurred on both sides. Trump is just very dramatic with anything so this doesn't surprise me. He gets on Twitter to gaslight Americans basically and probably should stop tweeting all his private thoughts on it. One day that will catch up with him.

and yes I'm Repubican but I do not care for Trump at all. He has no integrity to me as a man. None.
I have my issues with hm too. But I'm still convinced that once it came down to either he or Hillary; we really had no choice but Trump.
I mean HRC is so trustworthy and just glows with integrity.

I agree, neither one were good choices.

Civilians cannot get wire tap warrants so if he did conduct a wiretap he broke all kinds of federal laws. This also goes for Obama and his merry band of cronies. There are very strict laws that wiretaps can be conducted and conducting such taps on political opponents is also against federal law.
This story has legs, long legs and still growing. Whistleblowers are coming forward with classified info (which cannot be made public....yet). There is some merit to this story and it could be explosive. Watch out for a terrorist attack on US soil soon to distract from this story!

sounds like it. I hope we don't have a terrorist attack but this country is ripe for one now.
