That is, a pen register, not a tap.
This means that Mueller could not have learned that “Cohen was about to destroy evidence,” unless he can psychically infer that from a phone number.
Ken Dilanian has so much heat you’d think he’s fusion.
NBC News has corrected its story: Michael Cohen's phones were being monitored by a pen register, not a wiretap, senior U.S. officials say. Pen registers capture "to and from" calling and texting information, but not content.

I’m old enough to remember when the media freaked out when Trump said his office was wiretapped but it turned out no, only surveillance orders for people in his orbit, some in Trump Tower, were handed out.
Think the media will similarly rap itself for its own loose language with the term “wiretap”?
I don’t. I think they’ll forgive that little problem with #FakeNews they have all the time.
