FBI Director Comey asked Justice officials to refute Trump unproved wiretapping claim

It appears all our favorite approved news sources have developed a case of collective amnesia.

Just six weeks ago they were all parroting this New York Times article confirming a wiretapping/surveillance investigation into Trump and his associate's "alleged ties with Russia" during his campaign and AFTER he won. It also states reports from the surveillance were being provided directly to the White House (Obama).

FTA: "The F.B.I. is leading the investigations, aided by the National Security Agency, the C.I.A. and the Treasury Department’s financial crimes unit. The investigators have accelerated their efforts in recent weeks but have found no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, the officials said. One official said INTELLIGENCE REPORTS BASED ON SOME OF THE WIRETAPPED COMMUNICATIONS HAD BEEN PROVIDED TO THE WHITE HOUSE."

So, there has been multi-agency investigations (which turned up nothing). Obama WAS aware and Trump isn't just making things up based off something Mark Levin said. The "proof" comes directly from the highly credible, nonpartisan NYTIMES and all its sister surrogates who copy/paste every article they write.

Mr Comey's perceived obstruction of an official inquiry will only fuel speculation that a FISA warrant was never obtained and that the intelligence agencies tasked with surveillance were spying illegally on Obama/Hillary's most hated political adversary and his team in the final month of the election and while he was president-elect.

Strap on your helmets folks. This could be worse than Watergate!
