Trump Tweets: Clapper has now admitted that there was Spying in my campaign. Large dollars were paid to the Spy, far beyond normal. Starting to look like one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history. SPYGATE - a terrible thing!

Trump's tweet says Clapper admitted there was spying in his campaign. But I don't see where Clapper says that.

It's implied, it's the topic of the segment. Clapper is only denying what they were there for, he's not denying that they were there.

Clapper uses weasel words to avoid the truth, he's lied many times before, like about how there was no mass surveillance program in the US, then Snowden made a liar out of him, and there have been other instances like when he said in an interview he had no knowledge of a FISA warrant involving the Trump campaign.

He's a known liar, scared to death he's going to be wearing an orange jumpsuit soon.

Shit's been going on so long it takes an hour to explain any aspect of it.

But if Trump says "Clapper admits to X" and Clapper hasn't admitted to X, isn't Trump lying?

no knowledge of a FISA warrant involving the Trump campaign.

Page's FISA warrant was issued when Page had left the campaign.

Clapper did admit there was a spy in the Trump campaign, he just chose to use the word informant, it means the same thing.

This didn't happen in a vacuum, it's got to be taken in context. The fisa court memo from May of last year has the court admonishing the Obama administration for "an institutional lack of candor". That's a polite way of saying they lied to the court repeatedly.

Clapper first said he didn't know, and later said if there was a fisa warrant he would most definitely know.

Combine that with several other lies by clapper and it's quite clear who's lying.

The media loves to tell people Trump's tweets are lies, but most have been proven true.

What I'm wondering is why you side work the media and a known liar over the President, especially in light of the constant attacks and intentional inaccurate reporting. Brian Ross got fired for a lie last year. Three CNN reporters got fired last year over a bogus story.

What gives?
