President Trump plagiarized the new york times when he used the obsolete, yet newly infamous “wiretapped” term. Where is the outrage over that miserly issue?
Talk to a federal agent about what term they use in referring to electronic surveillance and almost every one will say “wiretap”. The methods and technology involved in listening/eavesdropping/monitoring someone else’s communications is no longer literally tapping into someone’s phone line and it hasn’t been for a long time, but the term is still very much in use. Say it to a prosecutor and he’ll know what you’re talking about.
