The FBI is thus far not cooperating with the House of Representatives' investigation into the NSA's surveillance of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, the chairman of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said today. Nunes said communications from the Trump team were picked up and disseminated within the government during the 2016 campaign. Nunes told reporters that sources within the intelligence community presented him with the information. He spoke to the press after briefing the White House. "We dont actually know yet officially what happened to General Flynn," Nunes said of how communications from Gen. Flynn's calls were leaked to the press. "We just know that his name leaked out but we don't know how it was picked up yet. That was one of the things that we asked for in the March 15th letter, was for the NSA, CIA, and FBI to get us all the unmasking that was done." "And I'll tell you, NSA is being cooperative," Nunes continued, "but so far the FBI has not told us whether or not theyre going to respond to our March 15th letter which is now a couple of weeks old. Nunes also reported that as of now, he "cannot rule out" President Obama ordering the surveillance.

If Comey is the leaker, it now makes sense why Trump left him atop the FBI, where he could keep an eye on every activity. Firing Comey back then would have sent him underground where he could work out of the shadows like Obama and Hillary.
Gee, I wonder why.
Good!
Document and publish how Comedy’s FBI is not cooperating.
Eventually, Jeff Sessions will ask Comedy to resign/retire.
When he doesn’t, AG Sessions will fire Comedy and start investigations into his subordinates. The old trick of we were just following orders will not work for them.

Agreed. Trump is no fool.
Time to get rid of “Jimmy the Weasel “.
Fuse is lit on the trigger for the 20MT blast getting ready to go off in Tahiti. So, Comey is not being cooperative. Grounds for firing right there. Next up, nail McCabe and get him out of there and send in Rudy to find the stuff. Cut all electric and Gas to FBI headquarters to keep any thing from going up in flames. Post marines around the building, no one in and no one out without a direct order to do so from the CiC.
Then, get Club Gitmo Shores ready to receive a lot of long term seditionists!
For the sake of the country, I hope that this all comes out and there is some house cleaning.
We need a good vetting of the government. They have been embedded for too long without accountability.
"In August 2005, Comey left the DOJ and became General Counsel and Senior Vice President of Lockheed Martin, based in Bethesda, Maryland."
Yup. The noose is tightening around the neck of the FBI. Comey has no one to blame but himself. He chose to make a deal with the devil.
or the devil's wife............
Nunes said it in both of his news conferences. All agencies responded to him except FBI.
Comey should be fired and investigated.
Seriously? No sense of humor? C'mon....
John Roberts, Fox, just said the biggie in this is that persons were unmasked. Goudy carried that to comey in the hearings.. who all could do the unmasking.. and he included obama in his question. Goudy knew.. comey knew, how many more knew and let it ride in the wind while Trump is being attacked so hard and every day!
top dem on the intel cmte is on Fox trying to clean this up.. He can’t.
Oh, it's genuine....genuine sarcasm and parody. Get a grip!
My opinion: it is not enough to fire him. It leaves Mr Trump open to the charge of covering up, no matter how clear the malfeasance of Comey. Best case is to trap him in perjury (already done, IMO), and announce an independent prosecutor to investigate his activities. Pretty soon, he resigns under a cloud in order to save his own skin. Meanwhile, if the prosecutor is serious, part of the swamp gets drained.
“Trump is the Belichek of this stuff.”
And Bannon is his offensive coordinator. Haven’t heard much from him lately, have we. Must be very busy.
