Trump wiretapping claim: Did Obama bug his successor?

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39172635 

summary:

Current president, Donald Trump, accused Obama of wiretapping his campaign headquarters during the election to sabotage his campaign through a series of tweets. While investigating Russian involvement in the election the FBI director said he found no proof of wiretapping.

Analysis:

This is not the first time President Trump accuses Barack Obama of intervening with his presidential campaign. I find it very hard to believe that with the trust Obama offered us during his presidency, he would commit a crime to stop another candidate from becoming president. Although no previous presidents have accused people of wiretapping there are instances in which a president resigned because of illegal actions he committed for example Nixon.
