It started, like so many eruptions these days, with a tweet. Early Saturday morning, President Trump fired off a series of tweets accusing, without evidence, former PresidentBarack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower in the month before the election. Trump compared the alleged snooping to \u201cNixon/Watergate,\u201d and intimated legal action. What makes the broader allegation so extraordinary isn\u2019t that it is new. Quite the contrary.
