House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, who’s earning a reputation as a Republican who “cries wolf,” published a social media message this week professing his deep admiration for Donald Trump. The Ohio congressman began his missive, “They spied on his campaign.” It’s a false claim that Jordan has been pushing for years, as if it were true. It’s not. A few days earlier, Trump sat down with Fox News’ Howard Kurtz and added new details to this ridiculous story.
In 2017, for example, Trump invested a fair amount of energy pretending that Barack Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower. A year later, “Spygate” involved an imagined scheme in which the FBI put a spy in his 2016 political operation. In time, the Republican suggested that it wasn’t Obama who spied on him, but rather, it was Hillary Clinton, who left public office several years before Trump launched his political career.
