By the way, it seems from Clapper's MTP interview that there was no wiretapping. I just meant we couldn't know for certain from Obama stmt.

And that's because, for the MILLIONTH TIME, the White House doesn't interfere in independent investigations.

as a follow up: is it correct that if someone else did, the WH wouldn't necessarily know?

been reported for months that Comey obtained FISA warrants. It's not news unless Trump is confirming he is a target.

by ONE outlet, which I would not consider a credible one

FISA warrants were reported by the guardian for sure and NYT i believe in January

and BBC @EricaGrieder @jonfavs

Clear case of Trump taking two unrelated reports and jamming them together in his head just for spite.

or perhaps that's how he processes stimuli: cognitive deconstruction

So you're saying he's just genetically spiteful?

no, more like it helps prevent meaningful self-awareness

libtards know all about cognitive dissonance!

yeah. Sadly, without some therapy and medication, this condition does not end well

Is anyone going to ask FBI / DOJ to confirm one way or the other and get it over with?

CNN right now saying they didn't ask for wiretap

CNN said *Obama* never asked for wiretap, but he wouldn't have the authority to initiate FISA.

The FBI would make that decision and request authorization from the FISA court.

And the FBI is currently in "Glomar response" mode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomar_response …

that's true, the can't confirm or deny

unless investigating Hillary Clinton, then the Director gives Pressers
