  • Thank god we got that cleared up.

    The left really dodged a bullet!



    The White House on Monday walked back a key point of President Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated allegation that President Barack Obama wiretapped his phones in Trump Tower during the 2016 election.


    "I think there's no question that the Obama administration, that there were actions about surveillance and other activities that occurred in the 2016 election," Spicer said. "The President used the word wiretaps in quotes to mean, broadly, surveillance and other activities."

    Wiretapping is a narrowly defined surveillance activity that involves tapping into "a telephone or telegram wire in order to get information," according to Merriam-Webster dictionary.
    Spicer also said that Trump was referring to the Obama administration broadly -- and not accusing Obama of personal involvement -- when he tweeted that "Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower" and accused Obama of being a "bad" or "sick guy."

    Did Washington Post mean wiretapping when they said wiretapping?

      Pretty sure we were all reporting on what our drunk uncle posted on his own accord. Did sc281 not mean wiretapping when he spent 36 hours talking about wiretapping?

              For fuck sake... why does everyone have to make it so literal? We got the idea, he got spied on by the government. Wiretapping vs hacking vs whatever. Same difference.

                  Are you trying to make the case that candidate Trump wasn't surveilled by Obama's intelligence agencies and DOJ?
                  When the government pays, the government controls.

                        No, he is trying to focus on semantics to cover for his liberal heroes. It is the same thing the media is doing. Too bad over half the country doesn't buy any of this bullshit any more.
