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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

From what I can tell at this point, the issue isn't whether Trump was wiretapped (Obama admitted such and apparently there was a warrant issued for the wiretapping).

The issue is whether there was probable cause to issue a warrant. Probable cause is the reasonable likelihood that a crime is or has been committed by the person or at the place designated. So far it doesn't look like it to me. Obama never produced one scrap of evidence. Only allegations and accusations.

If there was no probable cause, the warrant was illegally issued and the wiretapping was illegal.

So what’s the problem?

“I was for the war before I was against it.”

“There was wire-tapping at the same time there wasn’t.”

“Maestro, we can’t tell if you want us to go slower or faster.” “I want you to do both.”

No problemo.

Here is today’s front page of the NYT: https://archive.is/wyv38/a928e02d512fd63d5b561831235bedca420aff4d.jpg

“Wiretapping claims puncture veneer of presidential civility.”

I just sent this to Breitbart.

They have a “Send us a tip” link at the very bottom right of their main page.

I think anything published on Breitbart has a good chance of being read by Trump.

I have come to understand Trump’s tactics. He says something true, but says it in such a way that it sounds like a wild, crazy accusation. LSM immediately starts laughing and deriding him as a big-mouthed buffoon. Soon afterwards, the truth comes out, Trump is vindicated, but not so fast that the LSM feels it’s been played. That way, next time he can get them again the same way, sure that last time was a fluke.

Trump knew about the shenanigans from January 19, and saved it up until after the Sweden controversy dies down, and they forget that he was vindicated there, too, and the crime rate data controversy dies down, too, and they forget that he was vindicated there, too. He doesn’t shoot from the hips. Ever. It’s all carefully timed.

This is like transgenderism. The NYT has now chosen to identify as a newspaper that reports there were no wiretaps, and we cannot question that choice. Please do not refer to them as the paper that published the January story.
