| POTUS not backing down from ‘wiretap' charge |
| 2017-03-21 |
| [Wash Times] President Trump was not backing down Monday from his claim that the Obama administration "wiretapped" Trump Tower during the campaigning, despite the FBI director testifying that there was no evidence, said the White House. White House press secretary Sean Spicer said there were more congressional hearings to come and that all the information about government surveillance of the Trump campaign had not yet been revealed. He also said the president continued to have confidence in FBI Director James Comey. Still, Mr. Spicer stressed that the hearing earlier Monday, where Mr. Comey testified before the House Intelligence Committee was "one in a series of hearings." "I think there are a lot of areas that need to be covered," said Mr. Spicer. Mr. Trump has been criticized for leveling the charge on Twitter two weeks ago that President Obama ordered the "wiretapping." |

| #7 He's either confident or quazy. Either way, it's going to be an interesting ride. |

| #6 I concur SPOD. I suspect the Secret Service tipped Trump off, he's pretty confident something was going on. The Secret Service could have demonstrated a counter-surveillance 'bug monitor.' They could have observed or detained someone employing a parabolic reflector. Just a couple of guesses. |

| #5 He was monitored, maybe not by the FBI or CIA or NSA but someone in the Obama administration monitored Trumps organization electronically. Clinton knew too much about Trump's goings on and that is not by accident. Someone in the Obama administration was feeding her classified information. This dick dance the FBI and the rest of the intel community is performing is obviously contrived. I would broaden the questioning to say "electronic surveillance" and see what happens...and don't let them use the plausible deniability phrase of "to the best of my knowledge" And then put everyone of the media that publicized confidential information on Trump, etc., in jail, until they sing. |

| #4 Exactly, John. Notice how they specifically note wiretapping and no other intercept methods. Wiretapping, my word, how crudely 20Th century. |

| #3 Trump meant "wiretap" in the broadest sense. There are lots of ways to spy electronically. |
