Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., on Saturday said the country is “in the midst of a civilization-warping crisis of public trust” following President Trump’s alleging the Obama administration wire-tapped the campaign headquarters last October.

“The President today made some very serious allegations, and the informed citizens that a republic requires deserve more information,” Sasse said in a statement released Saturday afternoon. “[T]he President’s allegations today demand the thorough and dispassionate attention of serious patriots. A quest for the full truth, rather than knee-jerk partisanship, must be our guide if we are going to rebuild civic trust and health.”

The Tea Party-affiliated senator then laid out an explanation of what may have transpired.

“If there were wiretaps of then-candidate Trump’s organization or campaign, then it was either with FISA Court authorization or without such authorization. If without, the President should explain what sort of wiretap it was and how he knows this. It is possible that he was illegally tapped,” Sasse said.

“On the other hand, if it was with a legal FISA Court order, then an application for surveillance exists that the Court found credible,” Sasse added. “The President should ask that this full application regarding surveillance of foreign operatives or operations be made available, ideally to the full public, and at a bare minimum to the U.S. Senate.” (Read more from “Senator: US Is ‘in the Midst of a Civilization-Warping Crisis of Public Trust'” HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/03/senator-us-midst-civilization-warping-crisis-public-trust/
