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

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.

Good for you! I contended the Ace of Spades was in hand would be forthcoming.
It still is.

President Trump is no DC chump. He’s the Master Troll of the Galaxy!

“A false Russian bank server was pinging and linked to trump.”

I’ve suspected the whole Russian bank server was mirrored and part of a political operation to uncork that Oct. FISA.

Thanks for the add.

Korea was the first “limited war” we waged neither of which were intended to win.

I guess I can understand the rational back then as these people had just fought WWII and new a thing or two about war. Its baffling the policy was continued after seeing what a terrible idea it turned out to be. Unless you accept your premise - we weren’t about winning - sad but you are correct you arrogantsob ... sorry couldn’t resist.

The NSA is co located in the central offices of the phone companies, so I would call this ‘wire tapped’. It’s the 21st centuries version of ‘wire tapping’!

One thing that still doesn't compute yet is the term "incidental collection."

Agency ABC gets a FISA warrant to monitor entity X, and in the period of monitoring, persons B,C,D,E, et al were monitored incindentally in communications with entity X. If persons were monitored incidental to the monitoring of entity X, who is entity X, and why would so many people on Trump's team be in communications with entity X?

Entity X may be a ‘trumped up’ suspect just so that Obama administration can spy on Trump campaign and/or transition to find something. Besides, if there was incidental’ information the legal thing to do was to disregard it and basically throw it away.....but NO! Somebody transcribed it and unmasked these Trump folks and spread it about. Why? To politically harm trump and his people in some way even if it’s simply to delegitimization the administration that something is up with Trump and this Russia story

Hallelujah! This whole mess has now broken in Trumps favor

It's always been in Trumps favor.

It's the media and those running this corrupt government who've attempted to cover this up and kick up the dust of distraction and deceit. Did anyone ever believe Trump was a Russian spy? That Trump was colluding with the Russians to win the election? This is absurd on every level.

That would appear to be the summation of it all. Anything that was done was done to spy on Trump and his people.

The poor failing fake news loses again. Wonder what will be the new ACME scandal?

'he will resign within the week.'

I don't believe Comey will resign, but there are some who share your view:

@mitchellvii The evidence is written all over Comey's face. Very disturbed, tired, broken man.

Bill Mitchell‏ @mitchellvii

Why does Comey even want to be FBI Director? I never saw a more miserable looking man in my life.

"The information gathered by Obama was to be used by “President Clinton” to destroy Mr. Trump, his businesses, family and associates."

A motive I hadn't considered, but makes total sense.

Comey probably knows what really happened to ambassador Stevens and does not want to suffer a similar fate

That is an astute point. I would imagine that Comey knows about other people, in addition to Stevens, who met a premature end.

So they have to make up a back story on why the collected Trump phone calls.

Bingo!
