Quote:"Wiretapped" was used as a generic term. He should have used "recorded" but anyone with half a brain (admittedly that leaves out the writers at Vox.com) should understand what he meant. There are no wires to tap these days like there were in the past. There are no tapes in a DVR, but people still say "taped" instead of "recorded."


 

We still don't know if "Obama" was the instigator, but it's extremely naive to believe someone the US government executive branch recorded Trump's colleagues without Obama's knowledge and approval.

 

But the point remains, if he was surveilled as he alleges, Trump has the legal authority to release information from the FBI or the CIA or any other federal agency that supports his claim, and weeks into this story, he has provided no evidence.  In fact, he hasn't even said what led him to believe this.

 

He asked the Congress to investigate, and they say, okay, give us the evidence and we will investigate, and he has given them nothing.  And all of his spokespeople say, "I don't know anything about it." 

 

He doesn't even need Congress to prove this.  He can prove it himself.  Just release the evidence.
