Obama administration denies Towergate: Insiders blast Donald Trump's claims Obama wire-tapped his phones at Trump Tower before the election in 'Nixon/Watergate' style scandal
Trump has accused Obama of wire tapping his phones at Trump Tower on Twitter
The president tweeted that Obama had been spying on him in October
He claims the phones in Trump Tower were 'tapped' before his election victory
A former senior intelligence official said 'it's highly unlikely there was a wiretap'
According to official, wiretap can't be directed at US facility, without probable cause the phone lines were being used by agents of a foreign power
The Obama administration has denied President Donald Trump's claims that Barack Obama wire-tapped his phones at Trump Tower before the election.
Ben Rhodes, the former policy advisor for Obama, blasted Trump's accusations on Twitter: 'No President can order a wiretap. Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you.'
Rhodes' response came shortly after Trump fired off a flurry of tweets early Saturday morning claiming that the former president had been spying on him in October, a month before his election victory.
'Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!'

What Obama administration?
I don’t think Hussein wiretapped the phones, just got an NSA feed.
The cover-up is what will get you. Rhodes is a buffoon and liar.
Fox news couldn't investigate a flat tire, much less something this big. Besides, all their people take 3 days weekends and there's zero "talent" there on weekends.
Of course it was a fishing expedition. First request was denied but the second was approved and Hildebeast still lost.
But this was first published back in January. Why is Trump just bringing it up now?
> “A former senior intelligence official said ....”
Uh-Huh.
DJT should tweet ‘this is the POTUS that ordered Edward Snowden shot out of the air, yeah, tapping lines is in him’ and then Ed tweet ‘Yep, we had to do countermaneuvers’
Obama was skilled at hiring people who would carry out the exact tasks he wanted done without the need of being ordered to do them.
This is their first response: it wasn’t us! The unnamed ‘source said: “without probable cause the phone lines were being used by agents of a foreign power...” it is like an episode of ‘Cops’v. That ain’t my dope! Keep the pressure on. An investigation must happen. Contact your Rep and Senators.
Did you notice the parsing there - Obama merely said that “HE” didn’t order the wiretaps. Of course he didn’t. The FBI and DOJ would have to do that Just like Nixon didn’t actually order the Watergate break in. So the question is, what did Obama know and when did he know it.

Remember folks it’s not the action itself, but the “seriousness of the charge” that counts.The president just took a page out of the Democratic playbook and shoved it into their faces. In this case though the president isn’t making up a groundless charge, and look at the globalist rats coming out to defend Obama.
Ahhh. So Ben Rhodes is behind it.
“Why is Trump just bringing it up now?”
Maybe more/better evidence, or just to keep the Dems and Enemedia off balance.
Oh, by all means trust what Ben “Echo Chamber” Rhodes has to say.
They tapped a computer server
Perhaps he just found out..
It’s not Towergate, it’s
#OBAMAGATE
It was good enough for the reporterette I was listening to FOX also.
Ah yes, the man who proudly and publicly extolled blatant lie-telling as the height of the political art form - while we were distracting you with our lies over here, we were committing treason out of sight of the public eye over there.
That Ben Rhodes?
