Fake News!

NBC is now renegging on its story that Michael Cohen was wiretapped.
NBC News issued both on-air and online corrections to state that Michael Cohen, the attorney at the center of efforts to silence allegations of an affair between Trump and porn actress Stormy Daniels, had not been wiretapped but instead had been the target of a “pen register,” a monitoring of limited logs of telephone calls.

News outlets really need to tighten up their reporting with serious cross-checking and verification before they print stories. This kind of sloppiness only gives Trump ammunition.





Yeah, well, check your facts before you do, please.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:



I must admit that I enjoyed the idea that Trump must have been shitting his very large pants when the story broke and he thought his phone conversation with Cohen after the FBI raid was tapped.  That can still be true, too.

FURTHER UPDATE:


So....there still could be (or have been) a wiretap.  I hope we live long enough to get all the damned details.
