That statement followed a similar denial by an unnamed former senior official in the Obama administration. Posted on 03/04/2017 3:17:08 PM PST by mandaladon
A spokesman for former President Obama issued a statement denying the former president or his White House ordered a wiretap of Trump Tower during the election.
The statement came from the former president’s current spokesman Kevin Lewis on Saturday afternoon, after President Donald Trump made the accusation in a tweetstorm that shifted the focus of the news day.
That statement followed a similar denial by an unnamed former senior official in the Obama administration.
Former aide to President Obama, Valerie Jarrett emphatically tweeted that Lewis’ statement was “enough said” but was it?
There are still questions such as, why didn’t the 44th president issue the statement himself but rather opted to have it done through a spokesman who signed his name to it?
And, was it actually a denial?
Jon Favreau, a speechwriter who worked for former President Obama during his administration, warned the media, and fellow liberals, not to paint the statement as a denial that Trump Tower was wiretapped.
I'd be careful about reporting that Obama said there was no wiretapping. Statement just said that neither he nor the WH ordered it.
He is correct. Nowhere in the “denial” is any denial that the wiretap occurred or that the Obama administration knew of it.

Regardless if Zero ‘ordered’ or not, he is the head of the Executive. Any/all actions are ultimately HIS. If he ‘allowed’ a\his subordinates to do the deed, he is still liable for their actions (captain of the ship, as they say).
Course, no MSM would ever infer the ‘buck stops here’ where Dumbo was concerned; and they and the lackeys will fight tooth and nail to keep the wizard cloaked behind the curtain.
You would think. They should be part of the FISA system with signatures of the AG and Judge. Also the person that requested it.
If I was President Trump I would have had those documents in my hand like, two or three days ago...
Aw! Thanks! What was the search term you used? I like this guy. :)

Nope but they had microphones and amplifiers. I don't remember if Nixon knew in advance or discovered it later but FDR supposedly had it installed to keep historical record or more likely for blackmail, who knows.
Yes!
How many people have died because of a nod of the head, the words “do your job”, a finger across the throat motion, and Democrats treason?
Obama knew everything that Loretta Lynch was doing and about all the major decisions she wanted to make (because he often had to sign off on them).
I wonder if Jarrett had a security clearance high enough to see or even know about a FISA warrant request or the issuance of an actual warrant?
If she didn’t then there were deliberate leaks or “accidentally mislaid papers” around for her to see a la Hillary’s papers in a Moscow hotel (spy center and whorehouse).
The Kremlin didn’t need any spies in the White House or Congress, they had American politicians to do their dirty work.
Ties of Democrat politicians with Soviet intelligence agencies, overt or covert
* Samuel Dickstein, Representative (D), NKVD paid agent (and all around crook) - in “The Haunted Wood”, Allen Weinstein & Alexander Vassiliev
* Alan Cranston - Office of War Information, Institute for Pacific Relations, possibly the murder of anti-communist labor leader Carlos Tresca. One book, “Stalin’s Secret Agents: The Subversion of Roosevelt’s Government”, M. Stanton Evans and Herbert Romerstein.
“Laughlin Currie” - Roosevelt White House Advisor, books by Romerstein & Eric Breindel, “The Venona Secrets: Exposing Soviet Espionage and America’s Traitors”.
Also talks about Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter White, and Harry Hopkins, FDR’s top advisor as actual or possible Soviet agents. Hiss was GRU; White was both GRU and NKVD; Hopkins was suspected NKVD.
Just for giggles and grins, I met Whitaker Chambers and heard him speak, then spoke a little with him in 1961.
I was friends with both Stan Evans (he published a study of mine) and Herb Romerstein, as well as the late FBI undercover agent Herb “I Led 3 Lives” Philbrick.
Got some good “mentoring” from them.
Another key book by Romerstein and Stanislav Levchenko was “The KGB Against the ‘Main Enemy’: How the Soviet Intelligence Service Operates Against the United States.”
* Sen. Ted Kennedy - See Prof. Paul Kengor’s “DUPES”, for the story about his illegal working contacts with the Soviets/KGB in an attempt to undermine Pres. Reagan’s campaign to match and overtake the Soviet military buildup.
Also see the Kennedy link/story in www.keywiki.org, about Soviet attempts to influence US congressmen and/or their staffs. Traitors and Fools like Kennedy, Mac Mathias (R-Md), Mark Hatfield )R-OR), a religious dupe, and others are on the list. So is one great anti-communist representative James Fulton (R-Pa) who I knew personally. He was very supportive of my upcoming congressional testimony against some Hanoi operatives, so he would be a perfect target for the Soviets to try and blackmail or disgrace.
* Rep. Hugh DeLacy (D-Calif) was a secret Party member and good friend, mentor of once Rep. Leon Panetta (D-Ill) who later went on to become the head of the CIA. I think Panetta was the perfect dupe for the communists.
* Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich). Still in Congress. His Party connections record goes back, openly, to the late 1950s or early 1960’s, but he had ties to the Communist Party USA controlled United Autoworkers Union and their controlled Local 600 (and 900) to which he once belonged. His father was a socialist of some sort but went with the former Communist Party member Walter Reuther and his authoritarian brother Victor Reuther when they wrestled control of the UAW from the CPUSA.
* Rep. Ronald Dellums (D-Ca). Had direct ties to the Marxist coup regime of Maurice Bishop, a Castroite with ties to the Soviet Union, Cuba, No. Korea, East Germany, etc. for arms and equipment. Found in the captured Marxist government archives when we liberated the island. His aide Carliotta Scott was a “lover” of Bishop until he was executed by an even crazier commie by the name of Coard.
* Rep. Judy Chu (D-Ca). Direct ties to Red China which she is proud of. Once an official of the maoist Communist Workers Party.
FOR ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ALSO SEE www.keywiki.org and www.DiscoverTheNetwork.com” (or .org).
This is only the tip of the iceberg. Haven’t even mentioned communist agents and sympathizers on congressional staffs (Conyers, Crockett Jr, Anderson, Kerry, G. Miller, the Sen. Intelligence Committee, etc.)
Time to get a Special Prosecutor to look deeply into the ties of the Democrats/Party/and Pres. Obama to the Soviets, Communist Cuba, Marxist Nicaragua, Chavez’s red Venezuela, the ANC/SACP of South Africa, No.Vietnam (Ramsay Clark, former US Attorney General, now with the Stalinist fronts of the Workers World Party - IAC and ANSWER), and others.
Also Obama’s secret and possibly illegal contact with Syrian dictator Assad senior through Robert Malley, the son of Soviet propaganda asset and former creator of one of the Communist Party’s of Egypt (1948), Simon Malley.
James Burnham wrote a great book in the 1950’s entitled “The Web of Subversion”. However, he could never conceive just how big that web got under the Democrat regimes/presidents who came after that book was published.
I Am Not A Crook!!!!
But, the AG can authorize it.
They are playing with words, no doubt.
He authorized it
President Trump now has Obama by his community organizing cojones, and Trump should act with no mercy. NAIL HIM!
The SJWs would go batsh!t crazy, and bombs would start going off. Shooting in the streets, and then they get their wish to be rounded up and gassed...
Ya think?
independent ??
HMMMmmm...
This is typical political talk - sound direct on the surface, but the speaker deliberately hides his true meaning. Most of us call that "lying," because the speaker desires to mislead the audience.
Kind of exploded, didn’t it.
Just what I said: “the president, THROUGH HIS ATTORNEY GENERAL”. I.e. His Justice Department.
Don't say it, show it! (as I did, more than once...40)
Lots of things are said that are total BS.
Now that's an investigation that should begin ASAP.....one that should certainly bear fruit.
Seeing that Valerie dictates a lot of (maybe all of) Obama's actions, it would not be surprising to find out Valerie dictated the details of the FISA operation.
A bombshell in the making, for sure.
