The more I think of it, the more I believe the word "wiretapping" was carefully selected by Trump or Bannon to taunt the Fake News.

In effect, Trump gives the press the antiquated "wiretapping" word as bait, knowing it's the easy thing to criticize in his tweet.

Then, everybody who cares about politics knows about Trump's claim of "wiretapping" because the Fake News widely paints Trump as stupid for not knowing that the wiretapping term is dated -- even though Trump tweeted the word "wiretapping" in quotes.

But now, as the truth gets revealed, the bait "wiretapping" word becomes insignificant in light of the hard evidence that unwarranted and illegal surveillance did occur!

What's more, CNN is now forced to cover the fact that its own Fake News stories are bunk because they emphasized the "wiretapping" story line for weeks. So the story has blown open in their faces.

Trump and Bannon have clearly mastered the game of three-dimensional chess.

I agree that President Trump is much more careful and exacting with his words and manner of speech than casual observation reveals.

He has, in context, widened the definition of certain words well beyond the sound bite definition, and Media shills have been trapped in lies several times by this method.

It is not luck.

I think Trump used the word “wiretapping” deliberately.....b/c it’s embedded w/ the most ominous connotations.

It can also be interfaced w/ other ominous terms......like the scary word “surveillance.”
