The main point from The House Intelligence chief just tossed a huge wrench into Trump-related investigations, Business Insider, Mar 22 2017 :

"... The California Republican went on to say the collection occurred on "numerous occasions" and was not related to the FBI's investigation into Russian meddling in last year's presidential election.

"Details about US persons associated with the incoming administration, details with little or no apparent foreign intelligence value, were widely disseminated in intelligence community reporting," Nunes said.

The information he spoke of was collected legally, in his view, under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and he did not know if the surveillance consisted of phone calls, but that the intelligence reports he had seen "clearly show" Trump and his team WERE "monitored." ..."

This is a bombshell and general confirmation of what President Trump has been saying.

No wonder the media isn’t interested.

Remember the “Salena Zito Rule”:

Take President Trump seriously, but not literally.

Surveillance didn't involve Russia, therefore Comey lied about no "wiretaps" and Shifty Adam the Shill was caught sharing questions with Comey ( see at 9:15 in attached clip ) to cover it up. So then it is obvious the FBI and the democrats are the real criminals and are trying to change the narrative to phony Trump Russia collusion ... Nunes should not share any information with them

This press briefing is a load of BS a mile wide.

The surveillance of Supreme court judges, other judges, businessmen and President Trump (even before he was President) is an ongoing thing for years. It is not some 'incidental' happening.

Letter to Nunes exposing ongoing surveillance

Nunes is clearly covering as fast and hard as he can.

The dam is breaking. Swamp draining is about to commence.

That’s because Klayman’s letter to Comey, et al, was published for all to see. They’re toast.

Whether or not Obama or his minions set out to wiretap the opposition, they certainly threw legality, ethics and morals to the winds when they decided to let the entire world know information it wasn’t supposed to know.

Rep. Devin Nunes on Wednesday threw a huge wrench into the middle of the investigations surrounding President Donald Trump>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Mp he is no throwing a huge wrench into the investigation. Nunes is making damn sure that the illegal intel is not submitted to the House Intelligence Committee, where it was likely headed as a submission by the Demortas on the Committee.

The illegally obtained documentation has nothing to do with investigating whether the Russians meddled in the election.

The intel was designed to destroy the Trump transition and to delegitimize President Trump/ Nunnes is going to stop that dead in its tracks and have the NSA gather the paper trail on authorization, while Jeff Sessions convenes a grand jury.

Indictments will soon be on the way. They may reach Obama himself.

Have you ever noticed that when someone shines a light on a back, dark corner of D.C., all sorts of people cry “Foul”?

Here’s what’s going on: We have mass servalience in this country by the NSA, however the identity of the people being spied on is kept secret unless they are a foreign national or the information has been requested as part of an investigation. The idea being as long identities are kept secret then it’s not spying. That’s how the system works. What Obama and Comey did was to take everything on related to Trump, demask it and leaked it to press legally turning it from data into spying without a warrant. It’s the unmasking that makes it spying.
