A former policy adviser to President Obama is firing back at President Trump's claim that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower, saying it didn't happen — at least not under Obama's orders.
"No President can order a wiretap. Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you," Ben Rhodes tweeted Saturday morning.
He also said "only a liar" could make the case, as Trump suggested, that Obama wire tapped Trump Tower ahead of the election.

and that’s all they got as a defense.
“No President can order a wiretap.”
LEGALLY....
As we all now know and understand, the Obamunists feel they are ABOVE such mundane things such as laws, or the Constitution Thingy.
Why, sure they can!
Just not legally. But we’re talking about BARRY O. here....
Obama was a sham President anyway. Someone in the administration in a genuine leadership role ordered it.
Oh, wait . . . Well, there was that one time . . .
The fact is that Obama did order a wire tapp and that wire tapp was illegal.
There is no way for Obama to get out of this one.
The Federal Grand Jury is very likely being emplaned today.
He can’t order a legal wiretap, but Obama has an army of devoted Alinskyite minions who believe that the end justifies ANY means. They are like Lois Lerner and the nanny in The Omen (”Look at me Damien. It’s all for you.”). They don’t even need orders.
He should shut his mouth, but now anger and defensiveness is kicking in....
Keep talking Rhodes, tell us more about what you did or didn’t do?
This degenerate lying scumbags BROTHER IS PRESIDENT OF CBS NEWS.
part of the coup.
ARREST THEM NOW!!!!!
Aldrich Ames.
No maybe a PRESIDENT can’t but that doesn’t mean he can’t tell someone else to do it...DOJ for example...
And remember what President Trump has said: “When you stay somewhere, make sure what you do and say are way above board, there are the tiniest things that can tract you”...
Yet Barky still didn’t get the message that President Trump knew what he was doing...how smart is Barky??? That should tell you right there...
There’s a reason why Trump kept Comey. Soon we’ll find out why, if it isn’t becoming obvious already.
LOL. Obama spying includes his minions - Brennan and so many others. Of course it was ordered via proxy. The FISA court is not going to turn down the CIA, FBI or any other intel agency.
Such bullshit.
Obama >> Valerie Jarrett >> AG Loretta Lynch >> DOJ Intel division which handled wiretap
Bet bottom dollar that’s how the chain of communications worked
He can ask for a FISA order from a chrony left wing judge and get it.
“4. October: FISA request. The Obama administration submits a new, narrow request to the FISA court, now focused on a computer server in Trump Tower suspected of links to Russian banks. No evidence is found — but the wiretaps continue, ostensibly for national security reasons, Andrew McCarthy at National Review later notes. The Obama administration is now monitoring an opposing presidential campaign using the high-tech surveillance powers of the federal intelligence services.”
