You have probably seen the image below of the New York Times January 20 headline. It has gone viral on web and renders absurd the current denials by the Times and much of the rest of the mainstream media that there was no wiretapping of the Donald Trump campaign by the Obama administration. No, there won't be a document out there signed by former President Obama that says something like "I hereby authorize the wiretapping of the Trump campaign." There doesn't need to be. The headline and its January 19 article makes very clear that the previous administration did secretly monitor communications of the Trump campaign.

They were so anxious to frame Trump campaign for Russian collusion in January that they openly boasted about wiretapping him. Something that is now a very inconvenient revelation.

And now one of that article’s authors says, “Naw, no proof.” Was he lying then or is he lying now?

Previous admin————”Wiretapping? What’s that? Don’t know anything about wiretapping.”

[UCANSEE2]

In response to appearance of that January article, the NYT has stated that everyone knows they print ‘fake news’, so what’s the problem ? (/s)

Good catch. I hope that President Trump can shove this one down their lying throats.

Kim Dotcom‏Verified account @KimDotcom More Obama told friend who joined my team that he didn't want to end up like JFK. Gave CIA/NSA carte blanche. Obama is no leader @realDonaldTrump

For the left it’s never bout the facts....it’s always how to construe and frame them them to say something else then they are....therefore no matter how many “proofs” are presented it’s impossible to change their mindset which is to justify to themselves what they say and do favorably toward themselves.

The same author (Schmidt) was listed for an NYT article in the last couple of days that says Trump has no basis for his "wiretapping" claim.

These people are so full of sh!t, they are now trying to repudiate Trump's claims by calling their own previous stories lies.

Like with a hammer or something?..........

[Tea Party Terrorist]

They’re saying the taps were directed at Russians and that they were talking to Trump campaign people and that’s how they were caught.

Good run down

[BluH2o]

Well researched, no doubt, since four NY Times writers co-authored the piece.

The Dems should have STFU about Russia. This saga could end up destroying them.

[samtheman]

But where’s you EVIDENCE there was a New York Times January 20 headline regarding wiretapping?

No silly. Like with a cloth. You know. Server cleaning.

If it weren’t for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all.
