Is the spying allegation an apple or a banana? It depends on who’s holding the basket of fruit:
CNN’s @brianstelter: Fox News staffer who went on dates with me was “actually spying on me.”
Also Brian Stelter: FBI spying on Trump associates is a "full-fledged conspiracy theory," all they did was use "a confidential source to talk to Trump advisers." pic.twitter.com/r9ixptJf9A

Heh. Stelter didn’t seem to think spying allegations were conspiracy theories a few years ago:
Note: @brianstelter believes spying is when you meet with a person and then they "report back to bosses" about you.
Unless it happens to the Trump campaign, of course. pic.twitter.com/wif3MVg7XL

In many of Trump's "spy" comments, there's a tell. Usually it's the word "if." Sometimes "maybe." Or "possibly." Or "or!" Here's my latest…https://t.co/bJr6fQLaap

What a difference a couple years and a different president make.
Awkward. https://t.co/YcgWbjRmW8

to be fair: when brian stelter gets a date, its quite reasonable to assume that a conspiracy is afoot. https://t.co/7JI3yyL4uK

Their insistance on using a euphemism for the spying they did on the Trump campaign… and their full court press against anyone who uses the word "spy" to describe the activities… tells you how politically damaging the truth of this narrative is.
And they know it.
