From the way the left is losing it, to them it must mean watching someone ILLEGALLY. Why? Because it keeps being responded with how the surveillance was sanctioned by the FISA court.
When I look up the meaning of the word, legal or illegal plays no part in the definition. It just means secretly observing. Period.
If the FBI is listening on your phone, and they are legally allowed - it's still spying. It's only NOT spying if they are in your home with their tracking devices
trying to locate the origin of the call (a la television, which I understand is utter bullshit - they don't need to complete a trace by you keeping them on the line).
If you hire a P.I. to track down a cheating spouse - it's spying. If you're peeking in the neighbor's windows or your sister's keyhole - it's spying.
One definition said "to observe furtively" - so I had to learn a new word.
It does not anywhere imply or mean an illegal or unethical or in any way criminal behavior.
So why is the left and their friends in the media so enraged at the suggestion that they were "spying" on Trump?
A year or so ago, they were mocking him when he said they were. NOW they admit they were - but it's not "spying".
