The Federalist ^ | March 22, 2017 | Bre Payton

Posted on 03/22/2017 2:43:28 PM PDT by detective

Intelligence reports show then-President Elect Donald Trump and his transition team may have been monitored by agencies in the weeks after the election via “incidental collection,” a top Republican revealed in a press conference Wednesday afternoon.

“I have seen intelligence reports that clearly show that the President-elect and his team were, I guess, at least monitored,” House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-California), said.

Nunes explained “incidental collection” of information regarding the President-elect and his team occurred primarily in November through January according to reports.

"Paul Manifort’s connections to Putin’s Russia goes back “more than a decade”..."

Ok, 2007, wasn't Perino Assistant to the President at the time. Keep in mind a President who stated "I looked the man (PUTIN) in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. . . I was able to get a sense of his soul."

I don’t even bother reading these threads anymore. It seems to be All theatrics and sensationalism because everyone is referring to “may, maybe, possibly, anonymously...”


The point is Nunes returned fire with innuendo that the Dems-Media can’t refute. He’s doing exactly to them what they have been doing to Trump for months while the GOP has left Trump bare ass to the wind.

Noting that Schiff is a worm, and that anything he had been told would immediately leak to the press, Nunes goes to the President first to ensure the leader of this nation (not just the Republican in office) is apprised of a nasty situation.


Yeah, I think that is correct. Nunes went to POTUS before Schiff could leak the info to the DNC wing of the media.

The “incidental” collection was an excuse.

From the get go. Won’t work this time.

Sure hope someone in Pine Gap, Australia, is monitoring Zero’s phone calls.

post #8-— Spying on the Russian ambassador is part of the job description for the president.

What’s the problem?

There are enemies—foreign and domestic. The web of good guys and bad guys changes over time.

“incidental collection,”

I’m guessing it would be very easy to fiddle with that definition and methodology to monitor someone intentionally.
Only saying this; as we all know the liberals will now say that no one intended or set out to listen in on Trump.
Riiiight.

Actually, Nunes went to NSA and the CIA before going to POTUS.

Ye gads!! I’m so tired of the slams against Trump... they can’t give him anything.. i take their insults/slams/attacks personally ... they who live in the beltway don’t know... don’t have a clue to what living has been like under obama!!

There is so much selfish thinking...political double talk... “if I’m okay then everything is okay”. They saw blood in the water and aimed to shark Trump.. This today just might slow down the hate talk...so far it hasn’t... it’s been pretty bad lately! and I thought I could watch the news tonight! Not yet.. they are still dreaming over getting him on Russia.

Good to hear. Comey needs to be isolated. He is not to be trusted, IMO.

a password must be eight characters including one uppercase letter, one special character and alphanumeric characters. This makes it easier to identify everyone’s password.

According to Nunes at the initial press conference, Comey had not returned his call to set up the meeting. He was supposed to meet with Comey after POTUS according to press reports.

It's true that almost all of the Republicans are standing on the sidelines letting Trump take all the heat for everything. The man has GUTS and determination the likes I have never seen in politics since I started voting in 1971.

If I were the spouse of these do-nothing, empty-suits, I would be ashamed.

Speaking of empty-suits, where are Pence and Sessions? Sessions should be arresting mayors for obstructing justice and harboring criminals.

The whole “Trump is conspiring with the Russians” was total BS from the start.

The scary part is they had some really stupid Americans believing Trump was colluding with the Russians to win the election or that Trump was somehow a Russian spy. Gak!

It was all 100% cow flop. Only morons who continue to believe the corrupt in government and their media associates bought it. It was all government/media sponsored jackassery and bamboozlement.
