With all the CONFIDENCE you have surely you would welcome ANY investigation no?
So uh when is the doj going to make that statement comey asked for?

Why are we talking about what I trust or don't trust? This is about Trump tweeting a VERY serious accusation about an ex-President of the United States. I take that VERY seriously and expect the appropriate evidence to be put forward to prove these allegations or at least give credence to a more thorough investigation.
You are right, Trump's words matter. And when he blatantly lies and demeans a previous President just to distract from his own controversies, it the Presidency acting unpresidential. Plus gullible Trump supporters lamp it up without even second guessing the words. That is also problematic.
I'd think that if he is making a claim of the gravity that he is making, he'd have some evidence to support this accusation that he could present.
I know that all you need is Trump to say something and you'll believe it like gospel, but others care about facts and evidence before we commit these things.

But we do not know that Trump has lied. I will grant you that we haven't seen proof of his claim that he was being tapped by Obama, but neither have we seen proof this is a lie.
What we do have proof of is that Obama has lied through his spokesman when he claimed they never had a US citizen under surveillance.
You proved that with your own links.

You really shouldn't be using the FISA request as evidence for your case. It actually damages Trump's claims by making the surveillance look legal.

Releasing some of the evidence would go a LONG way to building support for a more comprehensive investigation. Police don't just pick random people to start investigating if they are a bank robber or anything. They look for actual connections to the crime so they can investigate the person. Well if Trump wants to investigate Obama, he needs to produce some compelling evidence that supports his claims.

but I doubt he'd say something so explosive without at least some half-decent reason to believe it was true.

Again with this spin... The claim is about wiretapping. NOT surveillance in general. Plus a FISA request would make the surveillance legitimate. Which means that Trump just implicated himself in a federal investigation. You really shouldn't be using the FISA request as evidence for your case. It actually damages Trump's claims by making the surveillance look legal.
