Remember, these are lawyers. Key word is “ordered”.
Exactly right. These people are worse than the Clintons with parsing words. Their response does not leave out the scenario where Lynch goes to Obama and says we can tap Trumps server/phones and Obama tells them to do what they thing they should (wink wink, nod nod).
Read every word of the “denial”. He didn’t say (as is being reported) that Trump’s allegations are “simply false”. He said that they didn’t interfere in an independent investigation from the DOJ. So, what does that mean? Was the DOJ wiretapping Trump? “As part of that practice”, Obama didn’t order it? What does that statement even mean? The news just reports the last two words, “simply false”, but the entire denial is confusing, clintonesque...
