MSNBC's Ken Dilanian Says 'No, Senators Weren't Wiretapped Or Spied On'

Posted • October 8, 2025: When it comes to media efforts to protect the Democrats' preferred narratives, the Left has no better friend than MSNBC's justice and legal affairs reporter Ken Dilanian. In addition to being suddenly concerned about the weaponization of the DOJ while claiming that as president Joe Biden carefully avoided commenting on Trump's indictments, the MSNBC journo who earned the nickname "Fusion Ken" is also trying to make the Comey indictment sound political: MSNBC reporter Ken Dilanian claims that “it’s not entirely clear” what James Comey is alleged to have lied about. This is a lie. The indictment alleges the following specific statements were false: In 2017 testimony: "No" to the question, "Have you ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton administration?" In 2020 testimony: "I stand by the testimony you summarized that I gave in May of 2017," when confronted with the 2017 exchange by Sen. Ted Cruz.

Whether or not the indictments produce a guilty verdict, the allegations are clear. MSNBC omits these facts to gaslight its audience. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1975934513927651328/vid/avc1/640x360/jgBHN7soCAMTZxE5.mp4 —— Up next, Dilanian is looking into the latest bombshell that former Special Counsel Jack Smith had spied on Republican members of Congress while President Autopen was still in office. Wait, did we say these Republicans were spied on? That's not a factual way to frame the story, according to Dilanian: “No, senators weren’t wiretapped or spied on. Their calling records were obtained lawfully by FBI agents trying to figure out who Donald Trump was talking to amid his allegedly criminal scheme to overturn the election. And now these agents have been fired based on disinformation.” —— To paraphrase Bill Clinton, "it depends on what your definition of 'spied on' is." —— "We didn't spy on you. We just perused your private phone records to see what you were up to and who you were talking with" https://video.twimg.com/tweet_video/G2vqjiOXIAAsG-p.mp4 (…)
