No magic needed. The reporting and evidence is clear -- Team Trump was "wiretapped". Obama has a long history of wiretapping and spying on his political opponents and even members of the press (James Rosen, AP reporters).
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Nunes has confirmed that there was surveillance and illegal activity in the unmasking of the names of Americans being "wiretapped".
Representative Peter King has also said that President Trump is correct in his claims.
Personally, I hope Obama is brought to justice for his numerous crimes, but doubt this one will stick to him.

So? That isn't evidence that Obama tapped Trump. In fact, that is known as "leading the witness" since it is completely irrelevant to proving if Obama wiretapped Trump Tower except in order to bias someone against Obama before the evidence can be presented.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Nunes has confirmed that there was surveillance and illegal activity in the unmasking of the names of Americans being "wiretapped".
You may want to check a BIT more thoroughly into what exactly Nunes has and hasn't confirmed. You don't appear to have a full grasp of the situation.
Representative Peter King has also said that President Trump is correct in his claims.
So? How does his opinion matter in the slightest? The investigation is carrying away from Donald Trump's claims whether you like to admit it or not.

Stick? There is nothing to throw at him. Good luck with your hopes there guy, but you might as well be wishing for a genie to pop out of one of your house lamps while cleaning it.

No level of evidence will ever meet your standards.
The Nunes statements alone should be a pretty good indication that Trump's claims ring true. There is considerable reporting to back that up.
There are dozens of links to news reports in this thread. My suggestion is that you go back and review them.
Way back in January, Heat Street, The Guardian, The BBC, and McClatchy all confirmed that he Obama administration sought and/or received surveillance warrants aimed at Team Trump. Way back in January, The New York Times reported that the Obama White House was looking at wiretap intelligence related to Trump. Way back in February, The Washington Post, CNN, the Associated Press, NBC News, CBS News, and ABC News all gleefully reported on private telephone calls that were surveilled by the Obama administration and then illegally made public to the media. Then, In March, just weeks after all of this reporting on the awesomeness of Obama-era surveillance warrants and intercepted phone calls … Despite their own knowledge, despite their own reporting, despite the words they publicly printed and the words they publicly spoke, every single one of these news outlets declared Trump a liar for the sin of what …? For the sin of believing the same people now smearing him as a liar.

You live in quite the echo chamber if you think there is anything to the Russia BS.
Take a moment and think about it. What is trump even being accused of?

You have to actually provide evidence first before you can say that.

Only if you don't fully understand what they say and what incidental collection means.

News reports aren't evidence and since when do you trust the MSM?
You know you tell me that no evidence will satisfy me, heck it looks like you are ACTIVELY seeking evidence to counter reality so you don't have to believe it is true. All evidence released so far suggests that Trump was wrong. Obama didn't do anything wrong. I know you think the Nunes report says otherwise, but you are wrong. Even Nunes has admitted that the incidentally collected names have nothing to do with Trump's wiretap claims. This is why I said you need to read a bit more thoroughly into what was said. These words ALSO appear in all those news reports that you are so fond of vaguely sourcing.

You do know that is all 100% legal right? So no matter what you think it proves, it doesn't implicate Obama in any grand conspiracies.
