Am I right or wrong? Trump's people say he said Obama used "wire taps".

[doc03]

Their interpretation is that he put it in quotes "wire taps" so it could mean other things, you know like cameras in a microwave or something. If you say "wire taps" in quotes I would say that means wire taps period. But if you just say wire taps without the quotes that would be more of a generic term meaning any kind of surveillance.

1. It's more like when an idiot thinks an expression in common usage is a technical term.

2. Reminds me of Ferngully 's Batty

3. Another goofy explanation of another goofy point made by the goofy president.

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!

All because of Louise Mencsh!

Two separate sources with links to the counter-intelligence community have confirmed to Heat Street that the FBI sought, and was granted, a FISA court warrant in October, giving counter-intelligence permission to examine the activities of ‘U.S. persons’ in Donald Trump’s campaign with ties to Russia.

ETA:

Or maybe the BBC version:

Lawyers from the National Security Division in the Department of Justice then drew up an application. They took it to the secret US court that deals with intelligence, the FISA court, named after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. They wanted permission to intercept the electronic records from two Russian banks.

Their first application, in June, was rejected outright by the judge. They returned with a more narrowly drawn order in July and were rejected again. Finally, before a new judge, the order was granted, on 15 October, three weeks before election day.

Neither Mr Trump nor his associates are named in the FISA order, which would only cover foreign citizens or foreign entities - in this case the Russian banks. But ultimately, the investigation is looking for transfers of money from Russia to the United States, each one, if proved, a felony offence.

4. Don't try to understand a disgusting and desperate lie. Obama should sue the bastards.

[world wide wally]

5. Yes! Sue the bastards

6. Trump was pretty specific in this Tweet...

And not a quote mark to be found:

I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!

Trump's a projecting deflecting lying buttwipe and so are those who cover his diapered whiney ass.

7. I hope Obama is preparing a huge lawsuit.

This man needs to pay for his recklessness.

8. He used quotation marks because he has an appallingly poor grasp

of punctuation, spelling, and grammar.

9. Maybe it was the two guys in the buick parked out front of the tower.

Made him nervous. Guys in black watching his every move.
