Somehow Trump knew "evidence" was going to come out about him being "wiretapped"

http://hotair.com/archives/2017/03/16/trump-wiretap-evidence-coming-very-soon/


Trump told host Tucker Carlson that the administration “will be submitting things” to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence “very soon.” The president added that he “will be, perhaps speaking about this next week” and predicted that “you’re going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next 2 weeks.”

When asked by Carlson why he tweeted about the alleged phone tap before producing evidence, Trump said his definition of wiretapping “covers a lot of different things.”

“That really covers surveillance and many other things,” he said. “Nobody ever talks about the fact that [the words ‘wires tapped’] was in quotes [in the tweet], but that’s a very important thing.”


So Nunes just "had to" personally run over to the White House to tell them that they had been unmasked in surveillance. Jake Tapper asked Nunes "Can't the President get this information for himself?"

Everyone was saying the President can pick up a phone and get the information if he wanted to.
If he didn't pick up the phone, whose fault was that? He was going to leave it up the committee to investigate. Right.

But he couldn't help himself. He told Tucker what was going to happen. Because the guilty know what happened and he's playing his game.

Laughably Nunes acted like he had to go personally inform the President that he should understand this information was out there. He doesn't give Trump much credit does he?

My guess is Trump knew he had been surveilled legally and this is all smoke and mirrors to convolute what they were involved in.

He politicized it by accusing Obama. He's going to drag the entire country into the mud.

And he said it had nothing to do with Russia.

So it could literally be any two people under FBI surveillance talking about anything and just happened during the conversation mention the President.
