House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes declared Wednesday that members of Donald Trump’s transition team, possibly including Trump himself, were under inadvertent surveillance following November’s presidential election.
The White House and Trump’s allies immediately seized on the statement as vindication of the president’s much-maligned claim that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower phones — even though Nunes himself said that’s not what his new information shows.
Democrats, meanwhile, cried foul.
Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the intelligence panel, cast doubt on Nunes’ claims in a fiery statement and blasted the chairman for not first sharing the information with him or other committee members.
Schiff also slammed Nunes for briefing the White House on Wednesday afternoon given that the Intelligence Committee is in the middle of an investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, including possible collusion with the Trump team.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many lies.... they all lie... and we the people put them there..... I wish we could easily pull them out of DC.... some of them need to have a meeting with we the people out behind the woodshed for a come to Jesus event.
These ba$$turds will not even begrudgingly admit that Trump was right. Grrrr
Nunes is the Chairman of the select intel committee. He did not say the intercepts were “inadvertent”. He said they may have been “incidental” - big difference
Comey clearly lied, and also is going after Trump and has been hot after him. Comey is unfit for office. He stabbed Bush in the back as a DOJ power hungry hack, and that got Obama to appoint him FBI director.
Yeah—And only some of the White House tapes of Nixon’s phone conversations were erased.
Mr. Obama, what did you know and when did you know it?
I wonder if we’re seeing the beginnings of The Rise of the White Hats?
It was not really surveillance, it was only inadvertent surveillance.
Remember, all the categories of the hanging chad, depends on what the meaning of is is, etc.
