So, where did Trump get this information or what inspired this series of tweets? Well, it seems that a Breitbart article published yesterday by Joel Pollak might be the genesis. Pollaks piece highlighted a Mark Levin radio segment in which he outlined his belief that Obama had used police state tactics against Trump. Part of that included FISA requests submitted by the Obama administration to monitor communications.
Per the Washington Post, the Breitbart story has been circulating among Trumps senior staff, according to a White House official who described it as a useful catalogue of the Obama administrations activities.
