Trump exposed the Obamunist attempt to "wiretap" his campaign....all the Leftists laughed....and were outraged that he targeted their messiah.
The Trump tweet:
"Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!"

1. The short story: Trump was correct, the NYTimes, WaPo, and every Liberal cable show....split hairs to make it seem that Trump was wrong.
Read on:
2. Here's the spin that the Washington Post put on the story:
"This may be the worst defense of Trumpās Obama-wiretapped-me claim ā literally
...chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, which means he's in charge of investigating President Trump's evidence-free allegation that President Barack Obama wiretapped his offices.
But Nunes doesn't seem particularly worried that the current president accused the former president of a crime. Echoing so many Republican defenses of Trump's tweets, he suggested Tuesday that Trump's allegation simply shouldn't be taken at face value.
Here's what Nunes said:
The president is a neophyte to politics. Heās been doing this a little over a year. And I think a lot of the things that he says, you guys sometimes take literally. " Analysis | This may be the worst defense of Trumpās Obama-wiretapped-me claim ā literally
3. Looks like Trump was dead wrong?
WaPo spin: "... Trump's allegation simply shouldn't be taken at face value."
The actual quote has a different meaning: "....I think a lot of the things that he says, you guys sometimes take literally. "
The 'literally' refers to the term 'wiretap.'
It should be understood to mean 'placed under surveillance.'
4. But the facts are these:
"The FBI investigated a Trump server in its Russia probe, but no charges are expected by John Solomon and Sara Carter
The months-long [Obama] FBI counterintelligence investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential campaign briefly investigated a computer server tied to Donald Trump's businesses near the end of the election but has not gathered evidence of election tampering to date that would warrant criminal charges against any of the presidentās associates, Circa has learned." FBI probe of Donald Trump and Russia during election yielded no evidence of crimes
Get that???
"....the [Obama] FBI ... briefly investigated a computer server tied to Donald Trump's businesses near the end of the election..."
