If at first you don't succeed...

realdonaldtrump (March 4, 2017). "How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!""

I think Trump was very clear - it was "President Obama" and "my phones". DoJ legally tapping of aide does not fit this narrative at all.

And when the FISA court turned down the warrant request for Trump himself, what did they do? They get warrants to tap his aides and associates, and Trumps conversations with them are still being monitered.

Either way, Trump's conversations were still being subject to surrveilance before, during, and after the election, which one might expect in some banana republic, but before Obama, not in the United States.

Maybe this was the change Obama promised, to make the U.S. a surveillance state.

You are inconsistent even within your own descriptions. In this post you act as if Obama actually ordered wiretapping of Trump. What you present as evidence is court-approved DOJ investigation into Trump aide.

I hope you understand that Watergate lead to impeachment not because wiretapping, but because it was done illegally?

Alternatively, you should be arguing that everyone working on the presidential campaign should get immunity from criminal prosecution. However, presently not even legislative immunity goes that far. That is, elected officials don't presently enjoy a degree of immunity that you suggest this aide should have.

If you misrepresent a case to the FISA court for a warrant for surveillance for national security purposes when you are actually conducting surviellance for political puposes, that is a felony offense.

I hope that the investigation continues, and that felony indictments will be handed down, and those responsible will be prosecuted, convicted, sentenced, and imprisoned.

If that includes Barrack Obama, then so be it.

This is a bit of a long read, but it sums up what is known to date, and makes a good case for the suggestion that the Obama administration feloniously misused the FISA courts and intelligence assets to conduct political surviellance on the Trump campaign.

Is your criticism a logical fallacy in the form of an ad hominem attack?

Why yes. It is.

How is that an ad hominem? I'm questioning the validity of your source. A blog.
