Former Bush attorney general: Trump right that there was surveillance
By Mallory Shelbourne - 03/05/17 09:51 AM EST

Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey on Sunday said that President Trump is likely correct that there was surveillance on Trump Tower for intelligence purposes, but incorrect in accusing former President Barack Obama of ordering the wiretapping.

“I think he’s right in that there was surveillance and that it was conducted at the behest of the attorney general – at the Justice Department,” Mukasey told ABC’s “This Week.”

Trump on Saturday accused Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower in New York City just before the November election.

I know .  Should have stated my context more clearly.  Lynch IS Obama refers to the idea that IT DOES NOT MATTER if Obama had directly ordered the wiretaps.

While Obama may have wanted the taps without saying, he is responsible for Lynch's actions in any case.

"It means there was some basis to believe that somebody in Trump Tower may have been acting as an agent of the Russians for whatever purpose,” he said. “Not necessarily the election, but for some purpose.”

This appears to be what Trump wants to talk about...a russian agent in Trump Tower.
