re: So now the leftist fallback position is that Trumps people were legally surveilled?

Spying on the Trump campaign legally is bad enough.

So on friday when this once again fizzles out like all of the administration's bs claims... You guys gonna apologize or move on to the next troll?

My issue is that nothing like what you describe was explicitly stated... Even given that it was stated by Nunes who has now revealed himself as a direct surrogate of the administration...
This was intended as an opportunity to get Trump off the hook for his tweet. An ally did him a solid. That said, if they find something real ill be right there with you.

There is a reason "may you live in interesting times" is a curse

Conversing with surveilled individuals does not mean they were surveilled. Nunes is such a butt boy for Trump, it's hilarious.

But of course, "conservatives" will keep doing their insane mental gymnastics to justify how the lies Trump has told them weren't really lies, and you'll keep making up more and more things you think big bad Obama did to you to justify your victim complex.

The only question in my mind is, did Nunes pull this stunt just because he's an idiot, or did he figure some news organization was going to get hold of the fact that there is now evidence of direct collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians and so throw this feeble attempt at a hail mary.

I pretty sure that in a platform that limits the number of characters you can use, 'me' and 'my campaign' are interchangeable

I'm also pretty sure that since these surveillance transcripts were delivered to the WH, then 'he' or 'his staff' is also interchangeable

Jesus Christ, he sent like 3 tweets about it and could have clarified what he meant at ANY TIME, but he never did! He often goes on twitter rants that 5 or 6 or double digit tweets long! You honestly think he said, "Obama wiretapped me!" when he really meant, "During routine surveillance of foreign agents, some conversations involving members of my staff were incidentally collected by someone in the government." and that he was powerless to be AT ALL specific about claims he clearly thought were very serious because of twitter's character limit! For goodness sake, listen to youself...

How much of Trump's shite will his supporters eat before they stop believing it's chocolate pudding?!

It's the dumbest smokescreen in political history.

Putin was an easy target used by BHO, HRC and the Dems. The USofA was poking the Russian bear and a continued willingness to say otherwise is flat out dishonest. We have some very nasty, nasty people in leadership.

For two years the arrogant Left knew it had the WH sewn up and KNEW it could keep its misconduct under wraps. Well, something happened along the way and the only action was to blur sources as much as possible, hence BHO's 19th hour EO on sharing Intel. This is one dirty SOB and heads need to roll and if it results in ripping us a new one, FINE...this has got to stop.

You guys make more excuses

uh, Trump said he was surveilled. And now there are IC reports floating around that went to Obamas WH, with Trumps people listed, that had nothing to do with Russia or foreign intel

Mostly just Trumps people talking transition. Sounds exactly like what Trump said happened

So what are these excuses, again?
