Ocean View - The United Kingdom has fictional James Bond and all his spy gizmos and toys. Now the United States of America has Kellyanne Conway discussing all the "Inspector Gadget" surveillance tools (televisions and microwave ovens) which theoretically could have been used by Obama to wiretap Trump Tower. Even though the CIA and national intelligence agencies have debunked using any of these methods on Trump or any of his associates, Conway presents no real evidence and remains adamant that Congress must do an investigation to get to the bottom of Obama's alleged wiretapping operation.

Moderator's Note: 
A New York Times article March 13 states, "Two senior White House officials suggested on Monday that President Trump’s unsubstantiated claim that President Barack Obama had tapped his telephone was not meant to be taken literally, arguing that Mr. Trump had been referring more broadly to a variety of surveillance efforts during the 2016 campaign when he made the incendiary accusation. 'He doesn’t really think that President Obama went up and tapped his phone personally,' said Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary. ... Kellyanne Conway, Mr. Trump’s senior adviser, said in an interview on Sunday that Mr. Obama could have employed any number of devices other than a traditional telephone wiretap, even including a microwave oven. Ms. Conway clarified on Monday that she was not accusing the former president of snooping via a kitchen appliance, arguing that her comments had been taken out of context. 'I’m not Inspector Gadget,' she said Monday on CNN. 'I don’t believe people are using the microwave to spy on the Trump campaign.' ... The unusual and shifting explanations from Mr. Spicer and Ms. Conway reflected the contortions that members of Mr. Trump’s inner circle have employed to explain the president’s explosive accusation, which he has yet to address personally. Neither Mr. Trump nor anyone at the White House has presented any evidence for the claim, instead asking Congress to investigate it as part of its inquiry into Russia’s interference in the presidential election."
