If you thought this was going to be a quiet weekend in Political Land, you were wrong. Very, very wrong.

In the wee hours of Saturday morning, President Trump tweeted out this bombshell accusation:

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

And, this being Donald Trump, he wasn’t finished.

Dear readers, I was in college during the Watergate scandal and remember how it rocked the nation. If the wiretap story is true, this could be Watergate on steroids.
