ABC News: OK, fine, Trump Tower was wiretapped, and it was all about Russians, but . . .

It's not quite what Trump's tweet seemed to suggest, unless . . .

Here's a pattern you've probably noticed about the way the media deals with President Trump. When his literal words might be off target but his meaning can be justified, his literal words are all that matters. But when his literal words turn out to be accurate . . . well, that's not what he meant!

Did the Obama Administration wiretap Trump Tower? Or were there some other form of FISA surveillance that Trump clumsily described as a wiretap in a very specific building? We've already dealt with the surveillance question, but the media rejects that because that's not specifically and literally what Trump said. He said Obama wiretapped Trump Tower. They've been telling us for weeks that there is no evidence this ever happened.

Um . . .

There, indeed, was an FBI wiretap involving Russians at Trump Tower.

But it was not placed at the behest of Barack Obama, and the target was not the Trump campaign of 2016. For two years ending in 2013, the FBI had a court-approved warrant to eavesdrop on a sophisticated Russian organized crime money-laundering network that operated out of unit 63A in Trump Tower in New York.
