Barack Obama 'approved tapping Angela Merkel's phone 3 years ago'
President Barack Obama was told about monitoring of German Chancellor in 2010 and allowed it to continue, says German newspaper
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...tapping-Angela-Merkels-phone-3-years-ago.html



President Barack Obama was dragged into the trans-Atlantic spying row after it was claimed he personally authorised the monitoring of Angela Merkel’s phone three years ago.

The president allegedly allowed US intelligence to listen to calls from the German Chancellor’s mobile phone after he was briefed on the operation by Keith Alexander, director of the National Security Agency (NSA), in 2010.

The latest claim, reported in the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, followed reports in Der Spiegel that the surveillance of Mrs Merkel’s phone began as long ago as 2002, when she was still the opposition leader, three years before being elected Chancellor. That monitoring only ended in the weeks before Mr Obama visited Berlin in June this year, the magazine added.

Citing leaked US intelligence documents, it also reported that America conducted eavesdropping operations on the German government from a listening post at its embassy beside the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, one of more than 80 such centres worldwide.

ast week, however, Mr Obama assured Mrs Merkel that her phone is not being monitored now – and will not be in future. But the US has pointedly declined to discuss the NSA’s actions in the past. ...(more)

Why, I believe it was Obama. And didn't he tap a journalist and his family's phone?

Now that you bring this up, it doesn't seem so far fetched he tapped Trump's phones. Still not proof though and Trump needs to show the proof. You can't make an outlandish claim like that and then just shut up and not offer proof.

Why is that outlandish? If he tapped Merkel's phone it stands to reason he'd have no qualms tapping Trump's. I'd think it's easier to do plus he hates Trump.
Makes total sense that he did.

That was one of the funniest hysterical moments I've seen from him. I did have a good laugh, thanks for the reminder!

He is a US citizen and opponent of Hillary. You don't think Trump should provide evidence or proof?

James Rosen of Fox.

Ah, so he only taps phones of friends and non U.S. citizens who are world leaders.

You don't think Trump should provide evidence or proof?

Why should he? I don't care. I don't care if Obama himself did the tapping. If he did, he apparently didn't find anything.
I don't care if Russia hacked the dnc. But at least they found found smut. Good on them for providing an outstanding service. We owe them a debt of gratitude.
