The MSM has gone from the “Hair-On-Fire” phase to the even more extreme “Heads-Exploding” phase over President Trump’s charge that former President Obama was behind wiretapping during the 2016 campaign

The “Independent” and BBC are putting-out that  ---  “The FBI disputing Donald Trump's claim Barack Obama had his telephones tapped during the election "could be a matter that brings down a president"  ---   Really ?  HMMM ! ! !

 Meanwhile,  Mika B decides it is time to cry on Morning Joe’s shoulder and "worry" about all this on MJ's MSNBC morning cable show
 

According to an article in the “Independent” an establishment left newspaper in Great Britain,   The FBI disputing Donald Trump's claim Barack Obama had his telephones tapped during the election "could be a matter that brings down a president," a former CIA analyst has said….   ‘It doesn't happen at all,’ Aki Peritz, former CIA counter-terrorism analyst, told BBC Radio 4. ‘If the President is to be believed, Barack Obama had done something that is completely out of character and has not been done since the 1970s, and even then that caused all kind of scandal during the Nixon years.’…   Mr Peritz said Mr Obama, who is a constitutional lawyer, ‘would never do this’….   Over the weekend, FBI director James Comey argued the claim must be corrected by the Justice Department because it falsely insinuates the FBI broke the law….”   (See  “Donald Trump’s wiretap claim  ‘could be a matter that brings down a president’,  former CIA analyst says”  by Samuel Osborne [with BBC4 videolink], 3/6/17,  The Independent/ News/ World/ Americas/ US Politics  [http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-barack-obama-wiretap-claim-could-bring-down-president-former-cia-analyst-aki-peritz-a7613151.html]). 

Closer to home,  the “Morning Joe” program had it’s own over the top moment this morning.  According to a post on the Grabien internet site [linked by the Drudge Report]  ---  President Trump's wiretap tweets struck an emotional chord with MSNBC's Mika Brzezinksi. The morning anchor fought back tears Monday morning as she told viewers that ‘we are all really nervous’ about what the Trump Administration is going to do….   ‘This is not funny,’ Brzezinski told her audience. ‘This is really bad. Just for the record, we are all really nervous. So if people out there feel nervous, we do too. We don’t think this is funny."…   The host also issued a direct appeal to Trump's staff, asking them how they can look at themselves in the mirror.   [With this quote by Mika Brzezinski]  ‘We are at a low point in American history and I don't know how anybody can defend this president, even if it's their job. Like you've got to have a job after this. You've got to look in the mirror after this. Sarah Huckabee or whoever is speaking out next. You have to look in the mirror and think about this country after this is over. You need to think of the end game here, because there isn't one at the rate we are going.’…"  (See  “MIKA TEARFULLY TELLS VIEWERS OF TRUMP: 'IF PEOPLE OUT THERE FEEL NERVOUS, WE DO TOO' -- ‘This is not funny, this is really bad’”  by Grabien Staff [with video link to "Morning Joe"], 3/6/17, Grabien-The Multi-Media Market Place/News   [https://news.grabien.com/story-mika-tearfully-tells-viewers-trump-if-people-out-there-feel]). 

The MSM media meltdown continues apace and it is amazing to behold.  

BTW,  Congressman Jason Chaffetz appearing on the Fox program “Outnumbered”  just said that there will be hearings on all of this  ---  including the White House charges that the prior Obama administration had wiretapped the Trump Campaign.   Chaffetz indicated That as far as he was concerned the charges should have some credibility, because the Obama Administration had engaged in electronic surveillance of his offices in the Congress.

UPDATE: “FAIR & BALANCED, HERE’S WHAT CHAIRMAN CHAFFETZ SAID” EDITION

“…. THE DEMOCRATS ARE OVER THERE FLAILING WITH THEIR HEADS ON FIRE, AND THEY STILL CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW THEY LOST THE ELECTION….” -- CONG. JASON CHAFFETZ

CHAFFETZ, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, PROMISES THAT ANY HEARINGS ABOUT TRUMP CONTACTS WITH RUSSIANS WILL ALSO LOOK INTO WHETHER OBAMA UNLAWFULLY WIRETAPPED TRUMP

Here’s some quotes from a Newsmax report about Congressman Jason Chaffetz’ remarks on Monday “…. ‘It's a very serious allegation,’ said Chaffetz about Trump's accusations, made on Twitter early Saturday morning. ‘It's a very serious allegation. The president has at his fingertips tens of billions of dollars in intelligence apparatus.’… Trump ‘might have something there,’ said Chaffetz, but it's still premature to say that there's no evidence to back up the president's claims…. Chaffetz, also appearing on Fox News' "Fox and Friends," said his committee will play a role in the investigation, but the intelligence committee will be taking the lead…. ‘I'm going to go into it eyes wide open,’ said Chaffetz. ‘We've had experience that the Obama administration has been notorious on this type of stuff ... in my own case, I had over 40 Secret Service agents illegally tap and dive into my background, and that's according to the Inspector General. So this stuff does happen, and it's not necessarily done the legal, lawful way. So, yeah, we're going to take a look at it.’…" (See “Chaffetz: No Evidence of Wiretapping, But Keeping Eyes 'Wide Open'” by Sandy Fitzgerald, 3/6/17, Newsmax/ Home/ Politics [http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/Chaffetz-Wiretapping-Probe/2017/03/06/id/777160/]).
