wire tapping

21st Century Wire says…
Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump accused his predecessor, Barack Obama, of ordering a ‘wire tap’ at Trump Tower prior to the Presidential Election. Yes, a ‘wire tap’. Sounds pretty unsophisticated in this day and age as a means of SIGINT in the post Snowden revelation era where there are numerous more ‘covert’ methods available to agencies. 

(ZHE) President Trump on Saturday morning alleged that his predecessor Barack Obama had wire-tapped the Trump Tower in October, before the election: “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!” he wrote.
