Republican Nunes Tries to Give Trump Cover on Wiretap Claim
<excerpt>
Representative Devin Nunes said Wednesday that the intelligence community collected multiple conversations involving members of Trump’s transition team during legal surveillance of foreign targets after he won election last year. After Nunes went to the White House to brief Trump, the president told reporters “I somewhat do” feel vindicated by the latest development.

The committee’s top Democrat, Adam Schiff of California, said Nunes’s decision to go to Trump before informing other members of the panel “casts quite a profound cloud” over whether the committee can conduct a proper investigation.

Nunes said he was “alarmed” to discover that the identities of Trump aides were revealed in intelligence community documents. “Details with little or no apparent foreign intelligence value were widely disseminated in an intelligence community report,” he said, adding that he didn’t know if Trump’s “own communications were intercepted.”

It seems that we need strong AG oversight here... the proposed deputy AG Rod Rosentein, I don't think has been confirmed and haven't heard a peep from acting AG Dana Boente...

comey already said as much on monday, so not sure why nunes is acting surprised...


Comey on Monday publicly confirmed for the first time that his agency is investigating possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign and whether any crimes may have been committed during last year's election campaign as part of a wider probe into the hacking of Democratic servers and the Clinton campaign.

"That includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts," Comey said in his opening statement to the committee.

The hearing, which also featured testimony from National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers saw Democrats highlight publicly available information about links between Trump associates and Russia. Republicans tried to turn the hearing into leaks that led to the resignation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Comey testified that US intelligence agencies agreed that Russia's aim evolved into an effort during the election to aid Trump over Clinton.

"They wanted to hurt our democracy, hurt her, help him. I think all three we were confident in at least as early as December," Comey said.

Let me be clear, I've been saying this for several weeks. We know there was not a physical wiretap of Trump Tower. However, it's still possible that other surveillance activities were used against President's Trump and his associates."



"The Putin regime has a long history of aggressive actions against other countries, including the outright invasion of two of its neighbors in recent years, as well as its brutal military action in Syria to defend the Assad regime. But it's hostile acts take many forms, aside from direct military assaults.

For example, the Kremlin is waging an international disinformation campaign through the RT propaganda network which traffics in anti-American conspiracy theories that rivaled the extravagant untruths of Soviet era Pravda (ph). Russia also has a long history of meddling in other countries, election systems and launching cyber attacks on a wide range of countries and industries.

The Baltic's and other Russian neighbors have long decried these attacks. But their warnings went unheeded in far too many nations' capitals, including our own. The fact that the Russia — that Russia hacked U.S. election-related databases comes as no shock to this committee. We have been closely monitoring Russia's aggression for years."

Bottom line intel has been busted spying on the Trump transition team. All of the documentation that Nunes has seen to date that the intel agencies disseminated had nothing aka jack shit aka nada aka zip aka zilch to do with Russia, the Russian investigation or even any foreign intelligence value.

Spying on what the transition team was doing.

RUH ROH!

Here comes the investigation into the investigators. YAY!

 

[KeiserC]

Why no oversight of Comey by AG's office? Dana Boente where are you on this???

 

[Picaro]

Comey has no credibility; he's now covering his own ass and parsing out inconvenient facts from his testimonies. there is zero evidence of Russians swinging any votes; it's all bullshit.

Comey should be under investigation himself, and he's probably indictable as co-conspirator with the felony leakers in his own Bureau.

I agree Picaro! I can't understand why it is so hard to believe that no one wanted Hillary to be our president. If you ask me; if the Russian's were rooting for anyone it was probably Clinton. I think Comey has some real problems he is going to have to answer to one day. As soon as he ends the stupid 7 month long found nothing Russian/Trump investigation he will be replaced by Sessions and he know's it. He is just trying to harm Trump and hold onto his job as long as he can.
