The House Intelligence chief just tossed a huge wrench into Trump-related investigations

Rep. Devin Nunes on Wednesday threw a huge wrench into the middle of the investigations surrounding President Donald Trump, his claims of being wiretapped by his predecessor, and Russia's meddling in the election.

And he now finds himself in a central role after making Republicans and Democrats alike scratch their heads over what appeared to be an unprecedented move.

Nunes, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, called for a sudden 1 p.m. press gathering Wednesday, with its subject unclear. But once it began, he fired off what sounded like a bombshell revelation: The intelligence community, he said, had "incidentally collected" information on the Trump transition team during the transition period....

Trump knows what he is doing.

If he made a mild tweet, we would not be getting revelations of FISA surveillance on him.

He made an outrageous tweet based on an educated guess that his campaign was under surveillance (or else how could Flynn have been monitored), and the outrageousness of it kept it alive and drove the process that is resulting in the truth being revealed.

Trump really knows what he is doing. Brilliant man.

In this era, anyone who’d take “wire tap” literally to mean wires, splices, etc., a 20th century technology, is being blatantly dishonest, and they know it.

Make no mistake as to who ordered it as this “IS NOT” common practice. Obama ordered it through one of “His” intel agency heads. Also the FBI either has recorded INFO /hard evidence or they have nothing! Anything else would be speculative/limited value/ circumstantial media type BS.

Since the day it was reported, I’ve felt that Obama’s escape to Tahiti was more than just an idyllic vacation. Something is up with that and no one in the media seems interested in it. For someone who craves the spotlight it’s bizarre to have him virtually disappear.

-- They carefully avoid asking the important questions.
The hearing is not an investigation, it's a psy-op targeting the U.S. public.

Just so.

Thanks for posting this. It will be used when a TDSer posts a fake news item about President Trump. Then, his/her fellow concerned TDSers are having chain reaction seizures agreeing with the fake news and condemning Trump again, for being so stupid, so slow and in many cases obeying the laws.

“You’ve got this really serious problem potentially of people in the Obama administration passing around highly classified gossip,” Woodward said. “The idea that there was intelligence value was really thin,” Woodward added."They knew this information was floating around the intelligence agencies."Woodward called the leaking of names “inappropriate” and possibly illegal. "If Nunes’ statements are true, it would be a “gross violation.”

You're right - 'intent' was involved...

Lying to the FISA court sure sounds like Obama’s work he can’t be trusted with anything.

“It is also entirely possible that Obama and his legal team may have perjured themselves before the FISA court by willfully withholding material information in order to manipulate the FISA court’s willingness to permit the government surveillance. And falsified official govt documents in the process. “

I think we all know this is what happened. It’s how they all operated for 8 years.

Yes, but ‘knowing’ and having written proof are two different animals. This is getting scary...
