3. The more he says that, the more the media will cover the real story: Russia.

Except for Fox political shows and partisan websites like Breitbart, of course.

There is no information or evidence whatsoever that Trump was ever wiretapped (or Trump Tower), according to our intelligence agencies, who investigated it. Comey did say that doesn't mean that members of the campaign may not have been picked up incidentally when intelligence agencies were wiretapping others.

Trump is pretty successful at keeping the flames burning on fake stories. I suppose that's because most people don't pay close attention to politics. They just hear soundbites and read his tweets. They most certainly didn't watch the intel hearing before the House Intelligence Committee (even then, the Repubs kept asking questions about the LEAKS, as if that were the important thing). Leaks are important, but of course the most important thing is Russia interfering with our democracy.

It was the White House itself, through Nunes, that LEAKED that Trump was incidentally wiretapped. I think that was the gist of what Nunes was talking about.
