I just watched Nunes on Fox Sunday, and I could not believe it. These people are actually parsing their speech about the wiretaps.
First, he said that Obama did not actually wiretap Trump’s phones. These fools are making out that they actually believe that Trump implied that Obama physically went to Trump Tower and literally spliced wires, as in ancient technology.
Then he claimed he believed that Trump only meant physical “wiretapping”.
Then Nunes segued into “surveillance”. He divided that concept from “wiretapping”. Yes, he said, their may have been surveillance and name unmasking. Actually, there was name unmasking, but they tremble to actually admit the obvious.
I just wonder if anyone on the committee tomorrow will actually bring up the “wiretapped” conversations Trump had in the White House with leaders of Mexico and Australia.
Even Sessions can’t bring himself to comprehend that Trump included electronic surveillance in his umbrella term “wiretap”.
That parsing of words was very revealing. Never bet against Trump, he knows he was listened in on. Who knows, he may have set a trap?
Interesting point. I assume the WH routinely tapes such conversations and produces a written transcript for the President's use only. The issue is how such transcripts or notes ever got out to the public.
However the President has alluded to the fact that his original tweet embraced that term with quotation marks, so as to include all forms of surveillance.
The RATagandists all suspiciously avoid that "inconvenient truth".
