I'm a little upset

It wasn't Trump Tower that was wiretapped (intercepted), it was the Russians.

 

Trump's Twitter frenzy on wiretapping came after an aide gave him Breibert story

Just like I said,

Aide placed Breitbart story on wiretapping in Trump's reading pile - Business Insider

 

That was my attempt at irony.

 

I think my microwave is wiretapping me or somthing!

Kellyanne Conway on surveillance: We have 'microwaves that turn into cameras' - LA Times

 

In context:

I can listen to you typing on your keyboard through a window vibration telling me what you type.
I can figure out from over a 100 yards your pin or swipe code just by recording your knuckles, and I do not have to see your screen or fingers.
I can have cameras and real-time connection in candy machines which take a picture of the customer as they swipe their credit cards for a bag of Cheetos.
I can detect and map the movement of armed person in a building using, cell phones, through he walls, no matter of the material.
I can pull up more about you than you know about yourself.
I can plot all the roads you have taken in the last few months, I can know your favorite drink, your best restaurant, what you purchase frequently in your grocery store, I can know what scares you, what pleases you and what bores you.

Context matters.

(My emphasis.)

 

Well, isn't that something~ :smile:

I like Carlson and Shep, they actually ask tough questions.

Oops! Maybe Trump should have some WH staff check the accuracy of stories before he takes it as gospel.

 

More Republicans Call for Trump to Retract Obama Wiretap Claims

https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-03-21/more-republicans-call-for-trump-to-retract-obama-wiretap-claims

He never apologizes for anything.

WSJ: Trump loses credibilty on Obama wiretap claims

Let's not forget he specifically said Obama tapped his phones.

 

Would it not be more prudent to hold off a bit with further demands of retraction in light of recent revelations?

He is definitely not eloquent or a great orator, I will give you that.

 

No. He either had evidence for his claims, or he didn't. He had no reason to claim Obama "tapp" his wires. You can't claim he was sort of right merely because you feel the IC is overreaching.

 

Hey remember waaay back in March when the topic was Trumps accusation that Obama was wiretapping Trump Tower? Wel I know you're going to be shocked when I tell you that the Republican controlled Department of Justice has found no evidence of any kind to support that claim. Oh, and speaking of evidence, remember when Trump said that he had the evidence? Yeah, he had nothing. He never produced any evidence at all. I know, you're shocked. Have a seat, I'll get you a little glass of water.

Justice Department: No evidence Obama wiretapped Trump Tower - Business Insider

 

Yeah, I remember. What a douche bag! Accusing a former President of that!

 

What! Next time they'll say Trump didn't have evidence of massive voter fraud, either!

 

What a concept hah?

 

The request was "broader than the subject" of Trump's March 4 tweet, wrote G. Bradley Weinsheimer, the Acting Chief of Staff and Director of Risk Management and Strategy for the NSD, and the DOJ could therefore not respond to portions of the request.

They ducked the issue of surveillance in responding only to "wiretapping."

 

and so you're indicating that you believe that surveillance of some kind took place, regardless of the total lack of evidence, even the evidence that Trump reported having. that comes pretty close to delusional thinking
