Not everything that is possible is plausible.

It's like saying banana and fruit are synonyms.
Perhaps you need a better dictionary.

No, it didn't. It said plausible was:

seeming reasonable or probable.

Please don't tell me you think possible and probable are synonyms.

I guess a dictionary isn't good enough for some.

In any case, I believe there is at least a 50 50 chance that Obama had it done.

How do you arrive at 50% probability. Justify your numbers.

One side is as truthful as the other, with slight edge to Trump.

Obama has been a known liar for most of his Presidency.

The only thing you're proving is your ignorance.

Is that the best you have to offer? Crawl back under your rock.

The president’s decision on Saturday to lend the power of his office to accusations against his predecessor of politically motivated wiretapping — without offering any proof — was remarkable, even for a leader who has repeatedly shown himself willing to make assertions that are false or based on dubious sources.

It would have been difficult for federal agents, working within the law, to obtain a wiretap order to target Mr. Trump’s phone conversations. It would have meant that the Justice Department had gathered sufficient evidence to convince a federal judge that there was probable cause to believe Mr. Trump had committed a serious crime or was an agent of a foreign power, depending on whether it was a criminal investigation or a foreign intelligence one.

Former officials pointed to longstanding laws and procedures intended to ensure that presidents cannot wiretap a rival for political purposes.

“A cardinal rule of the Obama administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice,” said Kevin Lewis, a spokesman for Mr. Obama. “As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen.”

I decided not to go a bit more crude but funny. So no, not all I got, but as far as I will go.
