Must be talking points, Juan Williams used it yesterday.

Yep. Classic case of accusing their opponents of what they know they've been doing. I don't think it's fooling anyone much.

While experts on the Constitution say his latest moves may be legal by themselves, they express concern that Trump is operating outside of normal behavior for a president in the post-Watergate era...

Presidents in the post-Watergate era don't usually find their campaigns spied on by the FBI, their staff set up for perjury traps, their reputations attacked by oppo-research lies that are deliberately disguised as real intelligence. Or, for that matter, the country's media participating in a coup attempt.

The quote above is classic disinformation - "legal by themselves" actually means "Trump has every right to do what he's doing"; the rest of the sentence reading, "but we'll use it to smear him anyway." This is what "news analysis" has devolved into: "Sure, the action was legal but doing it is a sure sign of guilt." Right.
