Deflect is all that Trump or his administration can do, apparently. Well, why not? He's got Sean Spicer, Kellyanne Conway, Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller as advisors and spokespersons, and they are masters at deceit, lying, obfuscating and generally making statements without a shred of evidence to back them up. The object, clearly, is to tell as many lies, and as big as possible, that you can get away with, provide no backup whatsoever, and then depend on the forgetfulness or laziness of people who won't check it out. Getting people to believe you means pointing to someone else and making a blanket accusation. These are all summa cum laude graduates of the Stalin-Goebbels School of Propaganda. I believe it was Goebbels who said that it is always better to tell the ignorant masses the biggest lie possible, because you can count on their short memory to forget it.
The number of lies, the type, and the intensity are a clear indication of exactly what is going on. The orange haired buffoon was fussing and whining about someone in the White House "leaking" information, like that's something that never happened before, or that among the assorted flotsam of liars and opportunists he's surrounded himself with, there's not anyone willing to break their oath of loyalty to advance their own agenda and position.
The language is pretty easily translated, "Obama was using White House sources to wiretap the Trump campaign" easily translates to "The news about our contacts with the Russians, and our campaign's connection to them for help winning the election is really bad, and we desperately need to come up with some kind of diversion." Don't need his tax returns or confirmation to determine their level of desperation.
