If it's not illegal, why would it go court?
If it's not illegal, why would Mr. Trump be (rhetorically) asking if it were legal?
That's not interpretation; that's reading comprehension.
Are you saying that the President of the United States doesn't understand illegal "wiretapping"?
Jeez.
Also, do you have any evidence that Obama ordered surveillance of Trump?

Have you ever heard of ethics? Are you really comfortable with the sitting president getting daily reports on secretly recorded information from the opposition's candidate for president?
Also, do you have any evidence that Obama ordered surveillance of Trump?
If there was a FISA warrant (as reported by many MSM outlets and alluded to by Nunes and Comey) that's pretty damning evidence.

If you go back to my earlier topic you will see that Sara Carter has insider info from the Trump admin.
Do you have evidence of "the sitting president getting daily reports on secretly recorded information from the opposition's candidate for president"?
If there was a FISA warrant, it's a court order, not an order from President Obama.
And also, do you have evidence that there was a FISA warrant issued that approved surveillance of Mr. Trump?

But, you're arguing here that we have to INTERPRET what the President actually SAID because obviously he can't just type what he means ... right?
Where would a case be made again? Would it be in a court of law? Where some law had been broken, thereby making it an illegal act?
You don't think that it's important that the PRESIDENT didn't have a basic understanding of privacy? Or of the laws regarding surveillance??? Wow, you're not asking for much from him are you?
Please curtail your personal comments in an attempt to sidetrack the argument. This isn't the Mud Pit.
Now, do you (or OP) have any evidence that Mr. Obama ordered surveillance on Mr. Trump at any point ... or not?
If not, what's the point of the discussion?

So you don't want to hold Trump to exactly what he said regarding legality... figures.
NOW you want to have a discussion about what he meant.
That might be progress I suppose, so lets apply it.
He meant that the Obama administration was spying on him and that it might not be legal.
He is 100% correct.

I'm very willing to hold Mr. Trump to what he says ... but you say we can't do that. You claim we have to interpret what he says, allow for subsequent clarification, etc. Make your mind up.
Do you have evidence that the Obama Administration was spying on Mr. Trump? Please share that with us.

Which do you want to do? Interpret the meaning or focus only the words. At the moment you are doing both, swapping when it suits your narrative. Very dishonest as is plain to see.

Wonder why Yahoo tries to conceal the fact that this is from Fox News Insider.
At any rate, Lt. Col. Schaffer is yet another person giving an opinion.
Again I will ask, where is the evidence?
