Trump Tower Bugged by BHO?

[Speaker to Animals]

But we know they searched his server. I mean it's not wire tapping. I guess I get it. They busted Trump making a big phony lie again.

They are just playing semantic games, hoping people won't look into it further and realize it's a distinction without a difference. Obviously there exist plenty of ninnies out there who will gobble that shit up and repeat it ad nauseum online.

That is absolutely correct. This is designed to peel away support from Trump so that they can impeach him.

They better hurry before they end up in jail.

So are we setting a new precedent?

If you don't use a century old piece of tech, IT'S LEGAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!

So, now that Trump is being asked for evidence that supports his claims, his opponents are being asked to prove Obama didn't collaborate with GCHQ.

Obviously there are those who get confused with the FBI investigation in Russian meddling in the elections and Trump's remarks.

And any way, it's Trump's distraction tweets just gave people like Lindsay Graham a chance to go for it:

The president does not have the unilateral authority to order a wiretap on suspected foreign spies operating inside the US, experts say. Doing so would be a federal crime that would implicate career civil servants and necessitate a huge cover-up. Rather, law enforcement and intelligence agencies wishing to monitor signal intelligence they deem relevant to an investigation - in this case, Russia's interference in the 2016 election - must obtain a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

So Trump then ordered them to look at the accusations, based on one media article, and someone like Graham is happy to use it and won't let go off it. Naturally Trump wants now to move away from the direct accusation on Obama ordering it to a more general approach, that there was an investigation.

Which naturally there is, as the FBI among other services concluded that the Russians had been active in the elections.

Saying he knew Obama tapped him was an outrageous opening offer, he knows that there is no proof linking Obama to it directly and that it isn't technically a wiretap, but wording it that way would grab way more media attention and focus it on his political enemies. Typical Trump and the media fell for it, again.

The media doesn't get how Trump effectively uses exaggeration with surgical precision and they don't seem to get that calling a politician a liar is boring as fuck. No one gives a shit because all politicians do it, the lie has to be important for it to hurt them, if you are simply nitpicking minor shit then most people will hit the snooze. That's not an effective rebuttal, but the media refuse to step their game up.

1. It's called Disruptive Marketing.
2. Trump time and time again shows he outwits his many, many foes.
3. The Lefts biggest pride is, 'We are smarter than the opposition' - it's time to re-examine that claim.

The "Look Squirrel!" approach works only for some time.

But if the Russia scandal continues and gets worse... I assume that the talk about "Deep state" will increase in the Trump realm.

And of course, many do believe Trump's tweets literally, I guess:

It's the real deal. People should be hopping mad. The democrats will ignore it, though.

Imagine if Bush did that to Obama..

The "Look Squirrel!" approach works only for some time.

Yet the media keeps falling for it and shows no real signs of catching on and adapting, probably due to overconfidence that "Trump can't keep playing us like this, it only works for so long, so lets charge headlong into another obvious trap derp!". How's that working out for them?
