Trump's original tweets left me with the impression, as it was intended to, that at some point o'bama personally ordered the wiretapping of Trump's phone.
Clearly that never happened. Trump lied, or was given some fake news that he took as real.
Everything else on this issue is just flimflam.
Or, he did to the Democrats and their press what they were doing to him.
Make wild, unsubstantiated claims about treason with Russia.
It turns out, his wild claim was nearer the mark than than theirs. The investigation they demanded of him turned on them. The Dems wanted to blow up the Trump Administration, but are now "hoisted upon their own petard." Therefore, the Trump "lie" was a winning bit of strategy because it has uncovered actual law-breaking in the unmasking of the names of members in his administration.
To dismiss this as flim-flam is pure partisanship that says when we do it, we don't expect to be called on it, we expect everyone to go after our target. We can never be the target.
