Nunes had secret meeting before revealing Trump surveillance info
NY POST ^ | March 27, 2017 | Mark Moore

The head of the House Intelligence Committee met with a White House source the day before he announced publicly that President Trump may have been “incidentally monitored” by US intelligence agencies after the election, according to a report on Monday.

“Chairman [Devin] Nunes met with his source at the White House grounds in order to have proximity to a secure location where he could view the information provided by the source,” his spokesman, Jack Langer, confirmed to NBC News. “The Chairman is extremely concerned by the possible improper unmasking of names of U.S. citizens, and he began looking into this issue even before President Trump tweeted his assertion that (Trump Tower) had been wiretapped.” SEE ALSO Nunes apologizes for going straight to Trump with surveillance info Nunes apologizes for going straight to Trump with surveillance info

Nunes, (R-Calif.) told CNN on Monday that he had been on the grounds “to confirm what I already knew,” but declined to elaborate so he wouldn’t “compromise sources and methods.”

Nunes, whose committee is investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, told reporters last Wednesday that he had information that showed Trump and his aides may have been swept up in surveillance of foreign government officials by US spy agencies.

Not clear on why this is important.

Are you telling me that Pelosi never told Obama anything in private?

Sounds like people are worried that the WH may still be “wiretapped” by enemy agents.

My first question is what does this have to do with anything?

Shall we go back to 2 days before, maybe 5 days before?

The fact the President -elect was being spied on by the last administration is more of a concern, but I guess after weeks of the media , and the Dems, >much of the same today > saying there was no proof, and now there is proof, tells me they are changing the media story for the ignorant person sitting at home watching CNN, MSNBC, The view, Ellen etc

This is just the Democrat’s usual line of meta-defense when they’ve been caught in a lie, or when one of their fake-news scandals falls apart.

If you can’t discredit the charge, you attack the way the charge was made, or the skin color of the person who delivered the news, or something that person said thirty years ago.

Basically, you grasp for straws, and count on the fake-news MSM to make those straws into howitzers.

Nunes went to meet a whistle blower in secret. Not illegal, but according to the MSM it is much more serious than unmasking names after illegal surveillance. All that evidence Nunes saw, therefore, must be shredded.

What you said. How dare a Republican take precautions. That alone is proof of whatever charge the media and Dems can dream up.

NAIL ON HEAD.
This whole Russia thing was to divert attention away from the horrific loss of the election, and unite the Bernie , and Clinton supporters against the republicans.
The talking points go out to the MSM who in turn are more than happy to do the Dems talking points ,and work.

Any insight on what or why he had to go to WH grounds (possibly Eisenhower building) To view material on scif?

“3) If the general tenor of the stories is true, it likely means that Nunes is trying to evade the illegal surveillance of the CIA, FBI, and NSA, while he investigates illegal surveillance by the CIA, FBI, and NSA.
He’s not showing them his cards; it’s so unfair!

That would explain why he immediately went to WH and why our president is leaving WH grounds for meetings

Apparently, some of the material he needed to see cannot be removed from the WH .... he had to make a midnight run in order to see it.

Someone needs to go to prison for leaking that the president and his aides were exposed as the people “indadvertantly” recorded. That is the issue here.

Yeah, and the Spymaster is safely ensconced on an island somewhere in French Polynesia like a modern day Dr. No - getting fanned by some eunuch and sipping Blue Hawaii’s while the staff selects his male companion for the “after party”

The answer is explained in the article:

“Chairman [Devin] Nunes met with his source at the White House grounds in order to have proximity to a secure location where he could view the information provided by the source”

They evidently needed a location that had been swept for bugs.
