Why is the title “Clapper Denies Wiretap”? What he said is that there should not have been one. If there is one, those words could be used against the Seditionists.

As I recall, this is the guy who ran intelligence operations against James Rosen of FOX News and 20 journalists from the AP.
All illegal. Nobody was punished.

I hope this is all just the start of tearing down the political machine that is FISA/CIA/MIA etc. and replacing it all with a new system. The political communist moles have to go. At the very least it is a direct muddying of the waters that will get the dialogue started and allow inspection and destruction of Obama’s shadow government.

So Clapper wiretapped without a FISA order. Isn’t a FISA order required for FBI, not NSA?
NSA has all the data on all the American people without our knowledge, so NSA can do whatever they want at least under Obama.

“I can deny it,” Clapper said in response.
“There is no FISA court order,” Todd asked.
“Not to my knowledge,” Clapper responded.
There ISN’T a FISA order-anymore. Is the FISA court order even called an order?

What is significant in this report is Clapper went public with a categorical denial, which seems to indicate any plumbers that did do such work in Trump Tower were illegals, so to speak, as in criminals. This doubles the ante.

"But I will say that for the part of the national security apparatus that I oversaw as DNI, there was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president-elect at the time, as a candidate, or against his campaign."
Clapper also said he would know if a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court order existed for "something like this." "And at this point you can't confirm or deny whether that exists?" host Chuck Todd asked.
"I can deny it," Clapper said in response.
"There is no FISA court order," Todd asked.
"Not to my knowledge," Clapper responded.Jeeeeeez, this s*** is right out there for everyone to see, and he still denies it.
The whole lot of them are going down hard.

Actually if Clapper is telling the truth that he did NOT know about the FISA warrant, and if as so many press outlets are reporting there really was a FISA warrant, that is damning to the Obama administration.
It is the DOJ that applies for a FISA warrant and then the FBI carries it out.
If they did all that and never told the DNI, then that would be unusual and tend to prove that it WAS political and not a bona fide national security operation.

that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower before the election.
yes, the first broad wire tap was rejected, the one before the election. Now the rest of the story is............

I was at sky harbor airport the day after and my plane arrived around the same time of day. It was amazingly hot (116ish) and hotter the day before - we hung out in the plane on the runway for a bit and it was uncomfortable. Seems like an odd place to hang out and talk about none existent grand children for 1 hour. I think I have posts about this subject from that time. Its all what we thought, they never could believe that HRC would lose and they have had to pivot and elaborate on a botched disinformation campaign - it is actually kind of funny.
I am so glad president Trump won - it a bit of a miracle with all the shenanigans and skulduggery.
These Obama lead radicals have been systematically trying to replace the citizens of this nation and destroy the American mind.
Obama is leading a globalist war on America, its culture people and everything that makes us superior to every other nation. America needs to prosecute those conducting this seditious revolutionary activity.

“There IS no order”
I suppose that depends on what the meaning of “is” is.
