McCain: Nunes’ action as intelligence committee chair ‘very disturbing’
Yahoo News ^ | March 23rd, 2017 | Gabby Kaufman

Posted on 03/23/2017 2:06:34 PM PDT by Mariner

Adding to the uproar over Rep. Devin Nunes’ disclosure that the communications of President Trump and his transition team may have been intercepted by American intelligence or law enforcement agents, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Thursday described Nunes’ actions as “very disturbing.”

Nunes, the California Republican who heads the House intelligence committee, called a press conference Wednesday to announce that he had informed the White House that Trump transition communications may have been subject to “incidental collection” in the course of surveillance of other targets, possibly foreign. Nunes faced severe criticism from both sides of the aisle for making the information available to the press and the White House before briefing other members of his own committee, which is currently investigating suspicions of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Speaking on NBC’s “Today” Thursday, McCain said Nunes’ action was unprecedented.

“I have not seen anything like it, and it’s very disturbing.”

McInsanes dirty little rat claw prints are involved somewhere in this abuse of power and he knows if the investigation continues his collaboration will be exposed. He acts like a man who is scared crap less.

Pretty much everything about John McCain is very disturbing.

The ONLY reason he wanted to be President in '08 was so he could outrank he father and grandfather.

McCain’s lack of loyalty to his party is what’s disturbing.

We already know that Trump and his team were subject to surveillance and that information was leaked in a felonious matter. That is not the question. The question is whether the traitonrs and power mongers playing fast and loose with the most sensitive intelligence methods we have are going to be called to account for their misuse.

This kind of misuse is exactly why the NSA has traditionally maintained a very closed shop-to protect sources and methods invaluable to protecting US national security interests, and what they were afraid of is what has happened. Amateurs have lost the crown jewels by leaking info for personal and political benefit.

I am convinced that there’s something out there on John McCain that he doesn’t want exposed.

He’s more outraged over Donald Trump being president, more outraged over the Chairman of the Intelligence Committee being transparent then he is with a former president spying on our current president.

What a disgrace.

McCain demands proof, and when someone comes with proof, he says it is offensive.

Who needs f@g Holder when we got McCain as friend.

Yes Nunes was upholding his oath of office. protecting american citizens. McCain would find that unprecidented and disturbing.

I couldn’t agree more. Perhaps Senator Lettuce was one of the people peddling the ill gotten spying info on Trump.

McCain seems desperate to keep a lid on what is about to be revealed. I suspect that it will go far beyond ISIS.

McCain should retire or accidentally walk off a cliff.

Christ. McCain needs to just move on. I think the afterlife is a nice fit for him.

What’s more disturbing is that Juan is still in the Senate.
