Fox News reported Thursday that GOP congressional investigators are expecting to see evidence soon showing that the Obama administration surveilled President Trump's transition team.
An unnamed source told the news channel that the "smoking gun" evidence will be produced to the House Intelligence Committee this week.
The committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) on Wednesday announced to the press that he had seen intelligence reports showing that members of Trump's transition team were "incidentally" swept up in legal intelligence collection of foreign targets.
Nunes briefed the White House on what he had seen, but the documents or their source have not been made available to the rest of the committee. Capitol Hill sources told Fox News that the reports Nunes saw came from several sources.
Despite Nunes saying that he believes the incidental collection was legal, sources told Fox that the intelligence will show that the Obama administration used legitimate surveillance as a cover to spy on Trump.
In his Wednesday remarks to the press and in interviews since, Nunes has stressed his concerns about the so-called "unmasking," or identification, of U.S. citizens picked up in the intel collection. He said the reports were circulated widely through the intelligence community.
Sources told Fox that the unmasking of U.S. individuals was aimed at harming the new administration.
Trump claimed in early March that President Obama had wiretapped him in Trump Tower during the campaign. He said this week he felt "somewhat vindicated" by Nunes's announcement, although the chairman maintained there is no evidence that Obama had Trump's "wires tapped." Nunes said the intel he had seen was collected after the collection and was not related to Russia.
Fox reported that the NSA is expected to hand in documents to the House Intelligence Committee Friday.
Spook talk,,,,
It’s always just a Day Away...
Even if they prove it, I lack the trust to believe indictments and jail time would be forthcoming...the swamp is so big and so deep, I think we are too far gone for true cleansing!
I want to see the head rat in Gitmo. Any of his deputies can serve their time in a federal prison. Except Valerie the V. She needs to be in a Mossad blacksite.
” ... we are too far gone .... “
Yep. obama is above the law. He’s black and he knows that buys him a free pass. He knew at the time that he could do as he pleases because he’s black.
These “sources”, I’m betting are pro-Trump elements within the intelligence community who have had enough.
Barry could “OD” during a homosexual orgy on a south sea island.
Trump should present the evidence to the American people in a prime-time televised appearance from the oval office. He should demand that Congress, the FBI and others do the right thing now or face the wrath of the American people.
He should name names... he should call for resignations from people involved, he should call for prosecutions.
Notice the accurate quotes around "incidentally". This was not incidental surveillance. It was intentional surveillance with a back door FISA cover.
Please tell us Mr. Comey, what do you know and when did you know it? Hmmmmm ?

Barry’s first day out of office he flew to California to be with some homosexuals. Moosechelle went her own way. So I won’t rule what you’re saying as a possibility.
It’s time to send some Feds down to the South Pacific and drag the Kenyan’s ass back here to stand trial.

Just a coincidence, I guess.
Would someone wake Sessions up and tell him he needs to start earning his paycheck and go after these guys.
“Nunes saying that he believes the incidental collection was legal”
This “incidental” collection method is absolute BS! There’s nothing “incidental” about it. The rogue elements in the IC, perched way up high in their ivory towers, are placing hundreds of thousands, and probably more like MILLIONS, of US citizens under surveillance, storing away all that highly personal information to be used as ‘leverage’ WHEN the need arises. They can call it “incidental” all they want, but it’s a very deliberate and methodical process they are engaged in, and it’s all for the purpose of subverting the Constitution. Those individuals MUST be purged from the IC, and really ought to be lined up against a wall and shot, very publicly, to serve as an example of what happens to tyrants of these sorts. If not, nothing will change, and they will continue to do the same thing while laughing at our petty little laws they’re so high above.
Are you suggesting Putin's gone all transgender on us?
Was Nikita Krushchev transgendered?
2Div- Jay Secuklous, and the woman that was on with him- said that the info will show that obama was doing this BEFORE he ‘changed the rules’ meaning that obama was breaking the then current law by spying on trump’s people
Keep an eye on this story as it has the potential to be huge huge news- It’s no wonder that Schiff and ilk are soiling their pants over the breaking news-
