First Scenario:
Trump: I believe Trump tower was under surveillance, wire tapped, whatever you want to call it.
Intelligence Agencies: No, there's not evidence of that.
Press: Why don't you apologize and shut up about it?
Second Scenario:
Intelligence Agencies: Russia interfered in our election.
Press: Trump was in bed with Russia.
Intelligence Agencies: There is no evidence Trump or his staff were in collusion with Russia.
Press: Doesn't matter. We continue to make the claim.
Trump: Shut up about it.
Press: No...keep looking for something.
