REMINDER : Obama Wiretapped Private Citizen James Rosen and HIS PARENTS

On Saturday an Obama spokesperson came out to defend the former president over allegations that he wiretapped Donald Trump, stating Obama has NEVER ordered surveillance on a private citizen.

Neither @barackobama nor any WH official under Obama has ever ordered surveillance on any US Citizen. Any suggestion is unequivocally false pic.twitter.com/qF04X3NUvq

There’s one problem with that statement.

It’s 100% untrue.

President Obama ordered wiretapping on a private citizen and Fox News reporter, James Rosen.

Oh, and his parents, too, who are also PRIVATE CITIZENS.

Also, Obama wiretapped 20 Associated Press phones, belonging to more of those pesky “private citizens.”

Except James Rosen, his parents the AP. https://t.co/ibGd7K0Ma4

Let's not forget in 2013 Obama had Fox News reporter James Rosen's phone tapped, calling him a "co-conspirator" under the Espionage Act. https://t.co/AWyoPrq5G7

@KLewis44 James Rosen and his mom think they're lying

You wiretapped 20 AP phones, seized the phone records of James Rosen's parents & said he was a criminal conspirator. https://t.co/PBybRSyUmz

@Evan_Rosenfeld Well @JamesRosenFNC would probably argue otherwise!
