"I'd be careful about reporting that Obama said there was no wiretapping. Statement just said that neither he nor the WH ordered it. " Technically a FISA, Obama-loving hack judge ordered the wiretap at the request of Obama or an Obama-appointed douche.

Doesnt it all depend on what the meaning of is is?"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

I can't do photoshop, but somebody ought to do something along the lines of "Office Of The President Emeritus Of The United States" or something similar.
The guy is still trying to act as though he is official.

then there is a definite paper trail.
See 55.\

I just heard on Fox News that they don’t know who authorized this—part of Obama’s 10 Trillion deficit must have been spent on paper shredders :(

So...even IF he didn't "order" it,
if HIS Department Of Justus or Attorney General ordered it (or ANYBODY in his administration)
isn't HE still ultimately responsible?

Didnt Obama tap Angela Merkels cell phone? Didnt Obama tap FOX reporter James Rosen phone and e-mails, also James Roses mothers phone and e-mails?
And didnt Obozo justice dept with Holder go after Sharyl Attkissons computer for her investigation into Fast and Furious gun running scandal?

Yes, one can look at parsing the word “ordered.” However, there is a key subject being entirely overlooked. The term US Citizen denotes an individual and as such was not a part of the wiretap request.
Obama’s spokesperson made sure there was no reference to the business entity called, “Trump Tower” or to the so called “Russian bank server.” These entities are certainly not US Citizens.
Therefore, while the statement we were given is correct, it has absolutely nothing to do with the ex-Obama administration’s actions regarding the wiretap episode in question.

Hillary didn’t order the Travel Office staff fired.
...because she had no actual authority to fire them. She just irately and vigorously demanded it.

Nixon bugged his own office. I think FDR bugged it and Nixon may have knowingly kept it installed. Probably still bugged today. Especially since Obama had the Whitehouse remodeled.

Bugging an office in the FDR days would have required some pretty large stuff compared to today. And, absent a vacuum tube transmitter, it would have had to be hard-wired. Transistors hadn’t even been invented yet in the FDR days, let alone integrated circuits.

Could be. They just couldn’t have the tiny button microphone/transmitter devices that we have today.

Just to be clear, I don't believe for a minute that this couple did anything of the sort. Also remember that the Clinton admin seemed to know the GOP's every move even before they would do anything. I'm sure that the Clintons were using the NSA or some other spook agency to monitor communications between GOP reps (not to mention using FBI files as blackmail), and I certainly think that is how the Gingrich/Boehner chat was obtained.
And let's not forget something more recent - the Obama admin bugging members of the U.S. Senate. Senators wagged their fingers and stomped their feet a bit, but did nothing about it. So there is evidence that Obama wasn't above using the power of the government against opponents, not unlike the Clintons.
