A former policy adviser to President Obama is firing back at President Trump's claim that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower, saying it didn't happen — at least not under Obama's orders.
"No President can order a wiretap. Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you," Ben Rhodes tweeted Saturday morning.
He also said "only a liar" could make the case, as Trump suggested, that Obama wire tapped Trump Tower ahead of the election.

But they can keep requesting until they find a judge that will approve one.
Especially when you go liberal jury hopping huh?
Liberal judge shopping.
There is NOTHING in writing that Hitler ordered the execution of Jews, homosexuals and other “undesreables.” Obama’s minions knew what to do without written orders being issued by Der Obamafuerher. You are exactly right.
Do you have a list so far.
I have a cast iron stomach, and I can only look at that painting for a short time.
I’m absolutely delighted President Trump has these people on Defense! I hope Trump doubles down on these scumsbags!
Trump wouldn’t say it without a ton of evidence
Obama >> Valerie Jarrett >> AG Loretta Lynch >> DOJ Intel division which handled wiretap
********
Only takes Obama to say “Oh won’t someone rid me of this troublesome Republican?!!”
CNBC’s site has non-denial denial by “Obama spokesperson Kevin Lewis”

“A cardinal rule of the Obama Administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice,” he said.
“As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false,” he added.
Obvious conclusion:
1. Wiretaps did indeed happen as Trump says
2. Obama has his deniability, it was (as always with BO) someone else’s fault if it blows up.
I was not aware of this until you posted this:
Obama shut down two Russian owned properties close to or in DC....and kicked all the Russians out. Wonder what Obama removed from the sites and who’s in there now.
Amazing, how Obama had no problem with these sites for 7 years and 11 months of his awful term as Potus.
Then, before he leaves, he shuts them down. More at the link below:

What utter sophistry and parsing. This idiot thinks ANYONE would believe that, having already met with “vacuum nose” billy boy clinton on the “tarmac” on her DOJ plane (was it, in fact on her plane, and not bill’s— which was under FBI surveillance)-— that cankles Loretta Lynch wouldn’t weasel word a directive to her minions to MAKE a FISA warrant happen. Really, we aren’t that stupid.
And, second question, do you think a president can’t order his own illegal domestic spying by NSA and or truly illegally by physical see-eye-ehhh contractors? Again, we are not that stupid.
This was quick- they must be really worried to have started the proper repeat mantra for the Sunday shows.
From Ben Rhodes— who WILL be indicted, and better have a 5th Amendment handy, cause his hands are all over this. Rhodes doesn’t have the stones to even know this process well- a freaking punk.
But the corrupted DOJ can go to a FISA court and get a warrant to wire tap and eventually they succeeded in doing that. Then the NSA under their direction changed the unprecedentedly changed rules and didn’t redact the parts of the conversation by US Citizens and made that information available. Then a corrupt Executive Branch changed the rules about how the information can be distributed and they also did that. Saying the President can’t order a wire tap is a blatant attempt at dragging a red herring across the path of what actually happened and it won’t fly for two seconds.
Didn’t zero order the drone death of a US citizen? But yet he can’t order a wiretap??
Liars.
Yep. There’s a reason ValJar moved into obamaumao’s. For the moment there is secret service protection and she can stay out of sight (as far as targeting purposes and access). They think they are untouchable (being from chi-town and all and members of the club). This way they can all jump a plane to Qatar where the real hole-up is located and fully paid for in an un-extraditable country. But, the mossad is there as backup.
Meanwhile, here’s hoping film at 11 of the Federal Marshals taking them into custody.
He shuts them down....That gives his goons complete access. And the Russians actually own that property. That’s illegal seizure in any court.
One...maybe....Two....perhaps....
Three is a conspiracy.
Valerie will be the messenger.
Notice that Huma has disappeared....or has become a messenger, too.
