YES, yes it DOES. Wire-tapping is one form of electronic surveillance. it is the way the NSA stumbled onto the initial 'incidental communications collections' of the Trump team.[Electronic surveillance doenst mean he was wire tapped like Drumpf claimed.
The on-going Trump investigations (NSA and FBI) began after these wire-taps/'Listening in' of other lines happened.
-- WHY would Obama, after the NSA / FBI tell him that these communications contained NO INTEL VALUE - as in no crime, no wrong doing, and no reason to investigate further, illegally share the personal information with the 16 Intel agencies AND have the FBI and NSA investigate Trump and his team?
Only an IDIOT would entertain the thought that the FBI and NSA would conduct investigations of American citizens suspected of (based on NO PROOF, as reported) collusion with the Russians - for 9+ months now - and NOT use wire-taps.
Only an idiot would suggest that Trump would illegally collect personal data on Americans that had no Intel value and would illegally distribute that information to his Intel Acolytes and conduct 2 investigations on Americans without there being a crime / reason to do so - would break those laws - but would not cross the line to have Trump wire-tapped.
These arguments and denial from the Left defy even the slightest bit of logic / common sense.
