Not walk but RUN back those lies...

Pussy Boy: Orangutan didn't mean wiretapping when he lied while tweeting about wiretapping

By Jeremy Diamond

The White House on Monday ran back keylies of Donny Orangutan's unsubstantiated allegation that President Barack Obama wiretapped his phones in Orangutan Tower during the 2016 election.

Namely, White House press secretary Pussy Boy Spicer said Orangutan wasn't referring to wiretapping when he lied about wiretapping.

"I think there's no question that the Obama administration, that there were actions about surveillance and other activities that occurred in the 2016 election," Pussy Boy said. "The President used the word wiretaps in quotes to mean, broadly, surveillance and other activities."

Wiretapping is a narrowly defined surveillance activity that involves tapping into "a telephone or telegram wire in order to get information," according to Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Pussy Boy also said that Orangutan was referring to the Obama administration broadly -- and not accusing Obama of personal involvement -- when he tweeted that "Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Orangutan Tower" and accused Obama of being a "bad" or "sick guy."

Twits:
"Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Orangutan Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!"

"Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!"

"How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!"

Pussy Boy's comments came on the same say as the deadline for the Justice Department to provide evidence to the House Intelligence Committee to back up Orangutan's claim. The White House has so far refused to provide any evidence, and numerous former officials have denied the existence of any warrant to wiretap Orangutan Tower.

A week earlier, Pussy Boy said Orangutan's tweet "speaks for itself" and declined to provide any further explanation.

But Monday, Pussy Boy was open to providing an interpretation for Orangutan's tweet, saying the President told Pussy Boy he was referring to means of surveillance beyond wiretapping in his tweets accusing Obama of doing just that.

But in each of the four tweets Orangutan fired off leveling the accusation, Orangutan referred specifically to phone tapping -- and only used quotation marks in two of those.

"Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Orangutan Tower just before the victory," Orangutan said in his first tweet.

"Is it legal for a sitting President to be 'wire tapping' a race for president?" he asked in the next.

Then, Orangutan tweeted that Obama "was tapping my phones in October" and had stooped low "to tapp (sic) my phones during the very sacred election process."

But Pussy Boy was not the only White House official to provide an alternative definition of the word "wiretap" despite Orangutan's clear language.

White House counselor Crypt Keeper Conway also addressed the wiretapping claims in an interview Sunday with the Bergen County Record, suggesting that other covert surveillance methods used by the CIA -- as revealed by Wikileaks last week -- could have been used in Orangutan Tower by the Obama administration.

"Do you know whether Orangutan Tower was wiretapped?" Bergen County Record columnist Mike Kelly asked Conway on Sunday.

"What I can say is there are many ways to surveil each other," Conway said, before suggesting that surveillance could take place through phones, TVs or "microwaves that turn into cameras."
