context of that intervention there may have been intercepted communications the house intelligence committee said that, we have reported that, and others have reported that on our air and other publications. sean, the question you re refusing to answer is whether or not the president i did not. i just said it to jonathan. i didn t refuse. you have a senate and house intelligence committees, both leaders from both panels say they don t see evidence of wiretapping, how how can the president continue to say you mischaracterized what chairman nunes said. to suggest that, you re stating unequivocally you are saying if it s literally the president said clearly when he referred to wiretapping he was referring to surveillance. it sound like, sean, what you and the president are saying, we don t mean wiretapping anymore,
give me some credit. i ll give you some. a little intelligence, maybe. clearance. i wasn t done. clearance. those two maybe both. come on. those two panels have spoken with the fbi director and told there is no evidence of this. i think this question has been asked and answered, jim. it s interesting you jump into all these conclusions what they have, what they don t have, and you seem to have all the answers, there has been a ton of reporting. in a week or jim, i think there has been a vast amount of reporting which i just detailed about activity that was going on in the 2016 election. there was no question there was surveillance techniques used throughout there by a variety of outlets concluded. when you ask those two people whether or not chairman nunes said, when you take it literally, the president has been very clear, he didn t mean specifically wiretapping. he had it in quotes. so i think to fall back on that
acosta sitting there in cool way pointing out none of it backs up original claims about wiretapping, president obama supposedly wiretapping trump tower. here we have a white house all of a sudden in many ways the least curious party in this right? at any moment president trump can pick up phone, call doj, call the fbi and get information to this. passed buck to congress and congress came back and said found no evidence of surveillance of trump tower so ere he is relying on media reports, some of which from the new york times as jim has pointed out, this white house insisted is fake news and failing paper. very bizarre. and reports they point to don t back up what they re saying. exactly. what jim pointed out in exchanges with sean spicer. i think this is ripe for snl
what you re refusing to answer, question you re refusing to answer is whether or not the president still believes i just saidt to jonathan. senate and house intelligence committee, leaders from both parties on both panels saying they don t see evidence of wiretapping so how can the president go on and continue because you re mischaracterizing what chairman nunez said. he said i think it s possible. he s following up. to suggest that. stating unequivocally. if you take him literally, he s wrong. said exactly that. but president said when referred to wiretapping, surveillance. but sounds like you and president are saying don t mean wiretapping anymore because it s not true anymore. so change to other forms of surveillance. what next. jim that s cute but end of the day, talked about for three or four days. president had wiretapping in quotes, referring to broad
it. this seems to be the conspiracy theory that he just can t quit. andre, sean spicer is saying, you know, accused jim acosta of cherry picking, right? couldn t he be accused of the same thing because no one said, okay, we were wrong about the crowd sizes after the park services came out and said and showed the crowd sizes at the same time years apart. millions of people voted. has not been investigated, is not true. no one has said anything about that. they didn t do a peep about that. and now wiretapping. so far, not true. no one s admitting it. andre, is that not come on, brother. come on, brother. again, i got another question for you. when flynn talked to the russian ambassador. no, no. answer that question and then go on. don t pivot on me. there are been plenty of narratives. the press said that trump had no chance of winning. he was only running to get his name i.d. up. he had never really run. it s been both ways, don.
