“Spicer says president used word ‘wiretapped’ in quotes to mean surveillance”

How is that backpeddling ?

We all know what the President meant.

Why do we continuously have to explain things to the media? Cuz they have no news....so they want to make news. They pull the same sh** all the time.

Did the media ever ask Bubba what "is" means?

Please. In the age of wireless, it’s an outdated but general use term that everyone knows the root meaning of. He was spied on, surveilled, whatever term of art they want to use.. I know what he meant..

It’s the MO of the Media Morons to take a phrase out of context and add it to their propaganda stew.

Wiretap is not the correct ‘tech’ word but as a colloquial term it reaches the population who ‘get it’.

But as the investigation is still ongoing, the Media Morons are coming out their corners to write in the direction that Obama did not ‘spy’ on Candidate Trump, writing this as a trial balloon in an attempt to score points with their moron readership.

I personally assumed that “wiretap” meant surveillance of all types. It is not backpedaling. And I did not think that he meant that Obama personally slipped into Trump tower to do it. That would require ability that Obama certainly does not have, on many levels.

Reminds me of how the MSM likes to claim that Trump praised Putin. No, he merely said that Putin was a more effective leader of Russia than Obama was for the United States. That is not praise, that is merely stating an obvious truth.

It’s not, but when does the press take every word a politician says and holds them to their exact definition? When that politician is not a Democrat.

Admitting Obama did not personally connect the circuit wires by hand to tap into Trump’s rotary phone is considered by the fifth-column media to be backtracking.
