He's only right if you

1. Move the goal posts tremendously

There was never any doubt. If TRUMP says Obama bugged then Obama bugged him.

No, we're far from anything resembling that. But it does make the proposition more interesting.

Doesn't matter here though. Nobody gives a shite about what the truth is. They either want to display fealty to Trump, or they want to impeach him.

This whole fricking embarrassment of an ordeal has been one big word game.

Retards one the left want to take Trump literally and if it didn't happen exactly as Trump stated, then he lied and should be impeached.

Retards on the right want to stretch Trump's words out to literally cover every single possible scenario so they can say "Trump was right!"

The only new information we have right now is that names other than Flynn's were named and that not all the surveillance was Russia related.

Everything else is pure speculation.

Anyone who took "wiretapping" literally is just plain dumb. I doubt Trump campaign officials were using old fashioned rotary phones with wires.

I think this misses the broader issue.

The left may use this argument, but that isn't the only manner by which Trump's tweet could be/was incorrect.

The real question is whether there is any legitimate argument that Obama had TT "tapped." That doesn't mean a physical 1980s wiretap, but it does mean surveillance targeted to Trump/Trump Tower, not communications picked up ancillary to other monitoring.

So I guess Fox News will have to reinstate judge Napolitano.

That probably had to do with blaming an allied intelligence agency of spying on POTUS without any real evidence

Well, here's where it gets really convoluted. If the Obama administration intercepted inoccuous communications and retained them despite no intelligence value, does it become direct surveillance? Or as I've stated, they used indirect legal methods to perform the surveillance? And then once they unmasked the citizens and dissimenate the information does it become illegal direct surveillance?

A better question is under what circumstance did Flynn's name get released and his conversation transcribed? An even better question is under what circumstance could WH acquire surveillance of Trump campaign and not disclose immediately? If this were a Rhino in the WH who did that to a Dem, it would be watergate 2.0.
