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!'

The unnamed source which will remain nameless...who knows everything obama did every minute of every day...
It isn’t hard to lie.
Great thought. Hope he does. Can they all lose their pension???? Oh, please!
Also, did anyone ever find out what the secret Comey meeting was about, a couple weeks ago, with some of our illustrious congress people? I have not heard or seen any more about the late Friday evening, except they were very somber at the end.
Investigative journalist Sheryl Atkisson of CBS News quit because her stories were being rejected. This was when David Rhodes ( brother of Ben Rhodes ) was President of CBS.
Turn Sessions loose and assign Christy as special Prosecutor on this crap and let it flush out Hillary too. Do a total 180 on the witch hunt and drag out tgevleakers and the MSM as a part of it
Mr Rhodes did not tell the whole truth; and that is the problem with these liberals.
No kidding. I don’t believe a word they say.
Trump would never have made such an accusation if he wasn’t pretty darn sure it was true.
Yes, it is quite serious.
He must be able to back up his claims.
Very well said.
I am not an insider, but I imagine that’s how it works..
SPINSPINSPIN all you can CNNDNC. Hunker down...it’s coming!
