Trump: "Obama wiretapped my phones before the election!"
Trumpkins: "Obviously what Trump meant was that the Obama administration incidentally collected information on Trump associates while they were talking to foreign officials during the transition after the election"
Trumpkin logic 1.0

uh, you left out the part where it had nothing to do with Russians.
The IC records conversations with most world leaders/diplomats, not just Russian ones.

It included Trump, and his family,
There's nothing supporting the idea that Trump nor his family were the target of any surveillance. What probably happened is Trump or a transition member talked about his family while talking to a foreign government. E.g. someone talking to the Israeli PM brings up that Kushner is going to spearhead a Mideast peace attempt. That gets picked up because the IC records all the conversations with the Israeli PM.

and was delivered to the White House, and not destroyed as required by law
Nunes was clear that everything was collected legally, but if someone broke protocol they should be punished. No evidence of that either.
The notion that anything Nunes said vindicated Trump's tweet about Obama ordering surveillance on Trump Tower is insane.

What's not being talked about enough is this conjured, McCartyist Russia story created by hacks and stoked in the media being used as an excuse to spy in Trump in the first place.

Ever notice the deeper the hole you dig, the more literal you become in your language?
No. no. He said you "may" be able to keep your doctor...
And then throw in a to show you're not really concerned about it.

You think the intelligence community just recently started recording every conversation of important foreign diplomats?
If you call the Russian diplomat that conversation will be recorded. I really wonder if someone in the Trump team said something incriminating during one of those phone calls, allowing the FBI to obtain a FISA warrant against them. That's basically what a BBC reporter alluded to a while ago.

none of us do
so this notion that Trump is 100% vindicated is laughable at the moment

Do you even know what "e.g." means? I never claimed that my scenario is definitely what happened

Wonder why he would do that?
Because any fish will bite, if you got good bait.

Complaining about semantics is like coming to the south and getting upset at hearing someone say they got a coke out of the fridge when they really drank a Dr. Pepper. "Coke" is used to refer to all carbonated sodas just like "wiretap" is used to refer to all serviellance of intercepted communications.
In this particular case, both are appropriate. Both originated in the South.

All of your "unintentionally collected" sanctimony blew away in the wind the minute the IC unmasked and illegally shared that intel for partisan political purposes.
Bottom line is, his phone lines were surveiled and intel collected was shared with the WH and used for political gain illegally. Yet here you are, consumed with a tweet.

I just think the word game that everyone is playing is funny. One side wants to take him literally, and the other is stretching his words out so far to cover everything.
