Quote:Did you bother to listen to the video? That's totally not what he said.


 

Old people (and Trump is 70) use expressions that originated with different technology. Haven't you heard someone saying they "taped" a TV program? Obama's government was recording Trump's campaign staff, "wiretapping" is just an archaic way of saying that.

 

So when Trump said Obama had wiretapped him, he didn't actually mean Obama and he didn't actually mean wiretapped.  

 

The House Intelligence Committee has asked the Justice Department to turn over any evidence that backs up these allegations, and so far, they have received zero.  

 

Trump accused Obama of wiretapping him.   Then, instead of providing any evidence to back this up, he tossed the whole thing to Congress and asked them to investigate.   So Congress says, okay, let's start with the evidence.  What do you have?   And then, in spite of Trump having the legal right to ask the FBI and the CIA and anyone else in his administration to turn over any evidence that Obama or someone did anything at all, he doesn't do any of that.  Instead, he sends his surrogates out to say that he didn't actually mean "wiretapped" and he didn't really mean Obama.

 

And then Kellyanne says it could have been video recorded through the microwave.
