And you have no information that Trump Tower (DJT's office or residence) was tapped either.  But that doesn't stop you from speculating and generally making shit up.  

John Carney

Ill try again, last time..."Comey knew trump was being spied on"

Can you try this again?  I'm looking for someone to represent "John Carney" as reputable.  

wrong John Carney

Yeah, sure okay.  My point stands firmly.  There's no evidence to substantiate that Trump's residence or his business offices were tapped.  

No evidence and no indication. Just a strong desire in some corners that the story be true.

Im fairly certain Trump was spied on, the "residence and businesses being tapped" was created by others, whatever their reasons. A simple posts scroll will show (while you're at it can you find what I'm making up?).
Ill say it again thou for those that arent following along. Comey knew Trump was being spied on.

there is still no indication that Trump himself was targeted by wiretapping; the report leaves open the possibility that a conversation with Trump may have been swept up in the Manafort tap, but we have no indication that it was.

But please, go on with your ad-hominem attacks on Comey and the FBI to protect your precious tRump.

you have an issue with a direct, true, statement? 

understatement of the year

not sure if this helps

state·ment

ˈstātmənt/

noun

a definite or clear expression of something in speech or writing.

an·swer

ˈansər/

noun

a thing said, written, or done to deal with or as a reaction to a question, statement, or situation.

I would say what Comey said was exactly that, a "definite or clear expression of something in speech". it was pretty damn clear to me. not sure why you are focusing so headstrong on semantics, is what this boils down to. 

Lets back up here, I made 1 single post about Comey inserting the phrase "directed at him" in his response to Schiffs question. I thought it was peculiar to add that phrase when
1. trumps tweet never claimed the "wire tapping" was directed at him 
2. the same point it made without the phrase "directed at him" included (see below)

"With respect to the president's tweets about alleged wiretapping directed at him by the prior administration, I have no information that supports those tweets, and we have looked carefully inside the FBI,"

"With respect to the president's tweets about alleged wiretapping by the prior administration, I have no information that supports those tweets, and we have looked carefully inside the FBI,"

I thought is was pretty simple, then the usual suspects ran wild like Hulk-a-mania, tearing off their shirts and screaming profanities.

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

Those are Trump's words. His "wires tapped in Trump Tower." Pretty clear that he was in fact claiming the wiretapping was directed at him.

Not to mention:

Obama did it
- no, the President can not order wiretaps

Nothing found
- then why is Mueller allegedly threatening Manafort with indictments?

McCarthyigm
- add this to the list of complicated things that tRump doesn't understand

All this man-splaining has made me hungry, Im thinking about indicting a "ham sandwich"
I'm full up on alt-stupid, if only we could figure out how to power our automobiles on it, anyway "let me sleep" on my assertions and we'll catch up tomrw.

"There's this tone that implies they're smarter than everyone else, that they're dropping profound truth bombs that we're all too dumb or irrational to see. They talk about humanity like they're not part of it, like by saying "The fact that more people use Instagram than Wolfram is proof that #humanityisdoomed #notgettinglaid." They talk like they've evolved beyond us mere mortals and our petty problems, and they only grace us with their presence because they're stuck with us. They should be discussing impenetrably deep concepts with beings of pure light and Mark Twain's disembodied brain. Instead, fate has trapped them in Virginia.

Remember that kid at school who always bragged about how smart he was, but never did any work? They're that kid. They want to acknowledge the problem without doing anything about it, to appear intelligent without being intelligent, because they equate dispassionate cynicism with genius. But what they truly are, almost invariably, are people who are unaffected by whatever news story they're declaring to be proof that Rome has fallen. They are above everyone else, but only in the sense that after pronouncing our species doomed, they can head to Starbucks instead of having to deal with the floodwaters rising around them..."
