"somewhat" vindicated?

It must have been pretty bad news for the Donald? Because he is never "somewhat" anything. It is "beautiful". It is "wonderful". It is "100%" vindicated. But "somewhat"?

That is not a word that Donald Trump ever uses. It means there is bad news for him in the "incidental surveillance".

He knows it could be any one of a thousand things?

And he is "somewhat" unhappy.

2. My thoughts exactly. "Somewhat" is the middle ground that Trump NEVER takes.

This entire Nunes debacle from yesterday bears all the hallmarks of an orchestrated deflect-and-distract move at the instance of Trump (or Bannon, most likely). The reporter's question to Trump was a part of it. The response was part of it. The alt-world of Breitbart news, aka propaganda, was in full swing in the Oval Office yesterday.

3. It would be useful to know the reporter's name that asked the question?

And whether he was fed the question by the White House?
