    Let's be careful here. Obama spokesperson said that neither Obama nor anyone at the White House ordered any wiretap (surveillance).https://twitter.com/cbsnews/status/838084940248010757 …

        The statement says nothing about whether it happened.

        And, yes, I know that there has been reporting from @LouiseMensch and, later, the Guardian and, since, others on the FISA warrant.

        That's not same as confirmation from exec branch that it's so. Trump seemed to suggest it is so today, esp w "found out" & "the fact" lines.

        There is wiggle room, though. "A good lawyer could make a great case," as one might say, that Trump's tweets aren't statements of fact.

        I know! That's ridiculous! Yet, here we are. They could say he was simply relying on the Breitbart report, not any classified info.

        Well, I think that's too cute. The point being, if an investigation led to a wire tap, it might have happened, but not on ...

        @darth This doesn't mean it didn't happen. Just that in Obama WH, FBI was separate non-politicized arm.

        @likaluca If a court ordered a surveillance then there is evidence enough for the court to grant it.

        @crampell perhaps most stunning is that Trump thinks it's legal for a President to do that.
