(CNN)Vice President Mike Pence avoided answering a question about whether he believed President Donald Trump's wiretapping claims.
Trump alleged on Saturday without evidence that former President Barack Obama wiretapped his phones at Trump Tower ahead of the 2016 election.
On Wednesday, CNN affiliate WEWS' reporter John Kosich asked the vice president a yes or no question: Did he believe Trump's allegation? Pence skirted the question and tried to steer the discussion to health care, as the Trump administration has been pushing to replace Obamacare.
John Kosich, WEWS: The President has alleged that the former President committed a felony in wiretapping Trump Tower. Yes or no — do you believe that President Obama did that?
Mike Pence: Well, what I can say is that the President and our administration are very confident that the congressional committees in the House and Senate that are examining issues surrounding the last election, the run-up to the last election, will do that in a thorough and equitable way. They'll look at those issues, they'll look at other issues that have been raised. But rest assured, our focus is right where the American people are focused, and that's on bringing more jobs here to Ohio, creating a better healthcare system built on consumer choice.

Let me make sure I understand. The current Director of FBI says no way. The former head of intelligence says no way. Pretty much everyone says no way. There's no evidence whatsoever. The only person saying it did happen is Trump who has an unbeatable record of twisting/distorting and otherwise ignoring facts.
And because a WikiLeaks drop says the CIA has the capability to do it, that means in your 'logic' that Obama did it? Are you feeling desperate? Holy crap man. Talk about reaching.

Come on...Comey and Clapper?
They are at the very least compromised, I wouldn't believe them if they told me the sun was shining at high noon, I would go out and look for myself.
There have been numerous threads here with all the evidence most people need to know it is very likely that it happened without seeing direct evidence.
Unless you are a Leftist in denial, no matter where you are in the universe 2 + 2 = 4

Get your head our of the sand, Obama DID NOT tap him. There is no proof that it took place, whatsoever. The only evidence you have, is from an unhinged man that you call a president. Obama said it did not take place, and he is in the United States innocent until proven guilty. It takes more than just tRUMP to say it did!!!!!!! I hope to hell Obama does something about this, it is an embarrassment to our country!!!!!

The hearing should be interesting. If there is evidence then Obama is screwed. If there isn't then Trump may be screwed.
Imagine if they can't find evidence then call upon Trump to present his to the investigation he pushed for after making statements on twitter.

This guy!
I don't really care if it's true or not. Or how true it is. The uproar from the left about unproven statements is pure gold.

Obama's defensive emotional reaction to Trump's claim that he wiretapped him, has guilt written all over it.

The FBI doesn't have proof. The CIA doesn't have proof. Congress doesn't have proof.
But you seem to think you do. Please share.

In your opinion. Are you a telepath?
Obama's response seemed reasonable and measured to me. Seriously, what aspect of it makes you think "guilty"? The fact that Obama said it?
Which word or group of words tips you off?
