Gee. Obola, and Clinton, and Hillary, and Podesta are not guilty because of how you define the meaning of “is”, “sex”, and “alone” “ and “ordered” ....
But Trump IS guilty because of how you define “wiretapped” and “target” and “inside the Trump Tower” .....
Excellent summary!!!
Yes, in a way. Everyone you listed except Trump plays by the official political playbook where every utterance is precisely defined and analyzed, just like the box score in a baseball game will tell you how each inning of the game unfolded.
Trump however is more like a bar brawler than an organized sport. He tweets “My wires were tapped by Obama!” and every American with a 4th grade or higher education understands exactly what he means. It matters not who was the target or anything else. Trump is right, in essence. People will remember that he started swinging and people got the crap beat out of them, regardless of whether it was a black eye here or a broken arm there.
Trump doesn’t do “nuance” and doesn’t parse his words like a Clinton lawyer, so to the media, he’s wrong or “guilty” as you put it, and the others who hide behind legal weaselwords.

Actually, the Times gave their own explanation.
Elisabeth Bumiller, the bureau chief, said the January story was referring to information picked up from wiretaps and other intelligence collected overseas, a process that requires no warrants.
