Following a day of drama involving the Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes, who has been under constant onslaught by Democrats ever since his disclosure last week that Trump had indeed been the object of surveillance, and whose Democrat peer at the Intel panel, Adam Schiff, on Monday night called for Nunes to recuse himself, moments ago Trump waded into the news cycle when he asked on Twitter why the House Intelligence Committee is not investigating the Clintons for various ties of their own to Russia. He then slammed the ongoing anti-Russian witch hunt, saying "the Russia story is a hoax."
“Why isn't the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech, money to Bill, the Hillary Russian ‘reset,’ praise of Russia by Hillary, or Podesta Russian Company. Trump Russia story is a hoax. #MAGA!” Trump wrote in two tweets Monday night.
Trump's rhetorical questions come amid a news cycle which as discussed on various occasions today has focused on the Republican chair of the Intel Committee, Nunes, who is under fire for briefing Trump about classified material he reviewed last week without sharing the information with committee Democrats. On Monday it was revealed that Nunes had secretly visited the White House grounds one day before announcing incidental surveillance of President Trump’s transition team. His visit raised questions about whether the White House could have been was the source of the intelligence Nunes reviewed.
Democratic lawmakers have now called on Nunes to recuse himself from the committee’s probe into Russia’s interference in the United States presidential election. Nunes on Monday evening said the chairman would not step aside from the investigation.

Probably true. Remember how fast they dropped the Michigan recount once it came out that they had indeed found voter fraud, but it was for hilary?
As soon as Gorsuch takes his seat on the bench, the prosecution of the Clinton machine can begin. The problem is not hillary, it is much broader.
The full court press now in progress is to forestall or eliminate that action
1) We have from the Russians that the Hillary campaign was in contact with them ( the ambassador ) multiple times during the campaign
2) The Trump surveillance was supposedly incidental chatter caught from the routine monitoring of the Russian ambassador.
3) Where are the transcripts of the conversations between Hillary's campaign and the Russians ?
4) If they exist, why are they being hidden. If they don't exist, it shows the lie of the "incidental" collection.
Because Bill and Hillary have their FBI files.
Comey gave the files to them.
Preferably with a fully-charged, industrial-strength cattle prod to help them to recall.
It is quite hypocritical that they only investigated him, when it has been proven that the Clintons have done it too. Their apologist will quickly point out that hillary isn’t president, and the point would be lost on them.
I have yet to see this guy do anything that would indicate he's anything more than a senile old coot in Depends.
The communist domestic enemty certainly doesn't act like it fears him.
If this dingbat doesn't indict SOMEBODY for ANYTHING by this time next week it will be pretty clear that ALL TALK NO ACTION is in the drivers seat again.
Before all is said and done, the Dems are going to regret their whole “the Russians did it” meme.
One of the real stories only told on Fox is the Russian $$$ connection of John Podesta.
To use a little Clinton/Obama word parsing, Trump isn’t prosecuting anyone. He is POTUS. Not AG. Dems getting some of their own medicine. Winning!
Why isn’t the FBI honoring the Oversite Committee request for the FBI look into the obvious Hillary Bengahzi perjury charge?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
why isn’t the FBI looking into hildabeast destruction of 30,000 piece of evidence?
why isn’t the FBI going through humma weinier’s laptop for evidence of treason & espionage?
why isn’t the FBI asking where that pesky $6 billion went from State Dept?
I see you have an AG who isn’t doing much. Task that ‘fire breather’ with helping US drain that swamp!
I’m afraid I have to agree with you. In his recent press conference on sanctuary cities, he sounded like a doddering old fool.
What, exactly, is Sessions doing?
HE won’t. It will be the independent Department of Justice.
Please. The Administration is about 60 days in...and all appointees haven’t been “approved” because of the seditionists’ stalling. Patience,

I think it depends on Ryan's guts doesn't it?
No, you don't understand they meant incidental revelation.
You didn't see that stemwinder press conference he gave yesterday? He threatened to start to consider withholding fed funds to Sanctuary cities and they all immediately repented of their evil ways. Or maybe they just came out an publicly laughed at him.
