Can the New York Times be cited as proof of wiretapping?

Posted: Mar 7, 2017

Note the title of the online article linked below: Intercepted Russian Communications Part of Inquiry Into Trump Associates https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/19/us/politics/trump-russia-associates-investigation.html?_r=0 Note that this article was posted 1/19/17. The day before Trump was sworn into office. Now read the fine print at the bottom of the article: A version of this article appears in print on January 20, 2017, on Page A1 of the New York edition with the headline: Wiretapped Data Used in Inquiry of Trump Aides. Why was the headline changed? Here's an interesting bit from the article: "The F.B.I. is leading the investigations, aided by the National Security Agency, the C.I.A. and the Treasury Department’s financial crimes unit. The investigators have accelerated their efforts in recent weeks but have found no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, the officials said. One official said intelligence reports based on some of the wiretapped communications had been provided to the White House." That would be Obama's White House, Obama's FBI, Obama's NSA, Obama's CIA, and Obama's Treasury Department. Can anyone seriously deny that Trump was wiretapped by the previous administration? The Flynn tape was released, wasn't it? How was that info obtained if the paragraph quoted above is untrue? I try to stay balanced and see both sides. I'd really like to hear what people who lean left think about this. ;
