He will triumphantly point to this surveillance of Russian mobsters as "proof" that he was being tapped, but then when inconvenient questions arise about how much Trump knew about his own tenants, he'll go full Sgt. Schultz, and know nussing, NUSSING! about Russian mobsters on the floors just below him.

It will be interesting to watch the popular media's reaction: Will they let Trump try to thread that moving needle, or will they say he can't have it both ways?
