SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Very powerful what he's leaving in place. The database that Obama's put together will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it's never been done before and whoever runs for president on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. That sounds like a shadow government. Sounds like Sean Hannity's not the great conspiracy theorist that some people may think I am. Well let's go to The New York Times, and -- when was this -- March 3rd of this year. No, March 5th of this year. The FBI Director James Comey asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject the president's assertion that Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr Trump's phones. OK. We're back to the same argument that Obama made. Nobody's saying that Obama really ordered it, but it happened on his watch, and that there's no way that such a FISA request could have taken place without him knowing. You understand the word-parsing that's going on here when Obama says no White House official ever interfered with an independent investigation led by the Department of Justice. As part of that practice neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen and Comey is demanding -- but again he doesn't get involved in investigations or comment on ongoing investigations -- that the president, that President Trump take back his assertion that Obama ordered it. Well was it ordered? And, if so, by whom?
