Trump team communications captured by intelligence community surveillance, Nunes says
Fox ^ | 03/22/2017 | Corey Derespina

Posted on 03/22/2017 10:47:24 AM PDT by God luvs America

Members of the intelligence community collected ‘incidental’ communications of the Trump transition team during legal surveillance operations, producing ‘dozens’ of reports which eventually unmasked several individuals’ identities and which were ‘widely disseminated,’ a top lawmaker said Wednesday afternoon. House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said none of the reports he had read mentioned Russia or Russians and he was unsure whether the surveillance occurred at Trump Tower. Nunes also was unsure if then President-elect Trump was captured by the surveillance, which occurred in November, December and January. “I recently confirmed on numerous occasions the intelligence community incidentally collected intelligence,” Nunes said.

The difference may be subtle, but a huge item to remember was that Trump used quotes around the term “wires tapped” — which means he intended to use the phrase loosely, not literally.

“Why was Comey more than glad to dispute Trump’s literal tweet, when he knows it is in essence true?”

“They get a “legal” wiretap for one thing, then claim to accidentally pick up other conversations that have nothing to do with the original legal fig leaf of a warrant. Then they “accidentally” unmask persons who shouldn’t be under surveillance in the first place and “accidentally” turn over the transcripts to the MSM. These surveillance agencies need to be terminated. They are out of control and they are *not* protecting the American people. They are now nothing more than a political weapon.”

Outstanding description.

The irony is that the CIA, established to coordinate the diverse intelligence agencies, soon transitioned to Black Operations. It began to intervene in the political scene in other nations and utilized many of the weapons the domestic Left uses: protest marches, blackmail and extortion of major political figures, propagandizing the masses. Even assassination. Now it is using the same techniques against Trump.

Truman called the creation of the CIA the worst mistake he made as president.

“Legal incidental intelligence?”

Bingo! . and even more reason why We the People can never afford to Ever elect another socialist/communist as President of these United States. Our current NSA/CIA system is Mao's, Stalin's, Hitler's dream surveillance system and they would have Used it bigtime to go after you and me.

Comey: I was truthful. We weren't wiretapping Trump... we were surveiling the suspected owner of an unlicensed cat in the Tower and only incidentally picked up all of Trump's calls, emails and conversations in the normal collection process.

"Where is the MSM asking Obamaturd live on camera about his administration's surveillance....?"

Barack Obfuscator is safely tucked away for a month from prying eyes and reporters at the very private "The Brando", an eco-conscious resort in the (foreign) French Polynesian atoll of Tetiaroa, which is 20 minutes by air from Tahiti.

This creep can't even spend part of his millions at an American resort or island.

He's also chumming with his pal, multi-billionare Lord Richard Branson, on Branson's yacht.

Which leads me to wonder about Judge Napolitano, his firing by Fox for saying the British were surveilling Trump and/or his associates...and the fact that Lord Branson is a UK citizen....hmmmm.

Da judge may come out of this smelling like a rose......

That is why I said Rogers.

Next question, does Judge Nap get his job back or does he sue Fox for improper firing, or both??

Partially only because that is all we know at this point. That is what the modifier “at least” is meant to convey.

About a week and a half ago, I hadn’t hear anything about his whereabouts for a while, so I googled him. I couldn’t find anything concerning his location in that time frame.

It may have been two weeks ago or a bit more.

To me that seemed rather strange. The media can’t stop talking about him, yet this once facet of his existence had seemingly been kept very low key.

In my posting, I missed something that it is important. Nunes believes that the monitoring was done legally! I still can’t come up with a scenario of how or why someone might be monitoring Trump and his staff, legally!
