Data that can conceivably be used to sway public opinion, thereby illegally effecting the democratic process of a United States Presidential election.
Intelligence agencies report that they have verifiable evidence that Russian officials are meeting with top level members of the opposition candidate's campaign and that they are in contact with Russians who are giving sources and information on Russian intelligence assets.
Intelligence officials recommend a wiretap to monitor all communication between the candidate's campaign and the Russians.
What do you do?

It is illegal for a sitting President to authorize or execute a wiretap on any citizen, much less the man running for President from the opposing party.
Period. End of story.
Your story doesn't matter in regards to the legality of the situation. If obama or Lynch did this, they should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
That said, Trump better have some solid proof and present it. Too often, Trump has just gone on Twitter rants and made wild (and false) accusations against people. This is a very serious accusation, so he better not be making junk up as he did against his opponents during the primary.
