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 …

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.

Remember Chris, Trump named Obama as the culprit, no one else.

Yes. I'm not saying Trump is anywhere near the reservation. I'm saying, don't over-read the Obama statement.

@darth The FISA court did grant a warrant. This was reported on November 7. https://twitter.com/justinhendrix/status/838011444566294528 …This Tweet is unavailable. -
Even assuming that is true, we don't know the scope and certainly don't know if it included a Trump Tower server.

The wiretapping apparently really happened. Obama just wasn't the one who ordered it. That would be the FBI.

The accusation from Trump was that Obama "tapped" Trump Tower.

it actually says even less than that. Can order surveillance on non-citizen that captures Trump comms.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@darth be careful about what? Trump said Obama had his phones tap. Obama said he didn't have his phones tapped. - 1 more reply
