After Donald Trump claimed President Obama had tapped Trump’s phones prior to the 2016 election, a congressman from California, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), tweeted if that’s true, if Trump’s phone calls were tapped, Trump is in “deep shit” and may want to lawyer up because that would mean a federal judge would have found probably cause of a crime. A little later in the day, Lieu also tweets that Trump’s admission will be the catalyst to a congressional probe.
Backing up, here are screenshots of Trump’s Saturday morning Twitter spews. (Screenshots because why give him more page views? Terrible!)
If you get a chance, check out Saturday’s Keith Pickering’s story. He was on to something early on. And Tom Boggioni with Raw Story writes that it was a Breitbart article that had accused Obama of orchestrating a “silent coup” against the administration, which prompted Trump’s reaction, even though Trump has no proof of his assertions.
Here are Lieu’s tweets from Saturday morning:
Latest tweet by Lieu:
Trump's explosive admission of #wiretap at Trump Tower means Congress must appoint special prosecutor to review what was learned from taps.
On his Twitter page, Lieu describes himself:

Kudos to Congressman Lieu, on many levels. More of this, please.
