Excerpts:
Beyond that, the hearing produced nothing. Many have headlined the fact that Comey said he has no evidence that the Obama administration “wiretapped” telephones in Trump Tower. Fine. But there is a reason why President Trump put the word “wiretapped” in quotation marks. Obviously, he used the term to stand more broadly for surveillance.
And, while there were many references to surveillance, including surveillance of possible targets associated with Trump, no one ever asked whether people associated with the Trump campaign were placed under surveillance by the Obama administration during the campaign. I find this inexplicable, although, to be fair, the witnesses probably wouldn’t have answered, just like they didn’t answer much else.

My guess is that most of what has been reported, based on leaks from anonymous Obama administration holdovers, is lies. But years will go by before we know that, and by then the lies will have had their desired effects.
