Only a liberal nitwit who is as dumb as you could possibly think that a value of the initial story from April 2019 would supercede how the investigation into the Trump spying claim progressed and was proven factual over the next several years, culminating with the FBI director's humiliating apology after the Biden Inspector General at the DOJ in Jan.of 2020 issued his report.
Two of 4 warrants letting FBI spy on ex-Trump aide Carter Page were not valid, says DOJ
The DOJ now believes it didn't have probable cause to think Carter Page might be acting as an agent of a foreign power, which was required to surveil him.

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has concluded that 2 of the 4 court orders allowing the FBI to conduct secret national security surveillance on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page were not valid because the government made "material misstatements" in obtaining them, according to a newly declassified judicial order.
The disclosure by James Boasberg, the top judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, underscores the extent to which the FBI bungled its handling of a highly sensitive case, a failure that is continuing to have serious policy and political repercussions.
In December, a scathing report by the Justice Department's inspector general found that the FBI's applications to spy on Page were rife with "factual misstatements and omissions," and in the weeks since, the FISA court has demanded an accounting from the Justice Department on how that happened and what is being done about it.
The FBI apologized to the secret court that handles national security investigations for the way it conducted surveillance of a former Trump campaign adviser during the 2016 election, according to a
court filing made public on Saturday. FBI Director Christopher Wray outlined steps the bureau is taking to ensure it doesn't make the same mistakes again. He wrote in the filing to the FISA Court that the FBI will tighten procedures governing wiretapping applications to the court, which oversees intelligence gathering under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Now, are you going to sit their and try to claim that Obamacare wasn't significantly changed from what Obama wanted to how Trump dramatically adjusted it when he took office, starting with the repeal of the most important aspect of it, the purchasing mandate?
So if you feel sufficiently mollified to call it the same name despite that complete overhaul of the terms, conditions, and prices of Obama's original bill, enjoy yourself! Liberals never have been very adept at accepting reality, and your exercise it the prime example.
