In the latest bizarre twist surrounding the Devin Nunes story involving "mysterious" sources at the White House, who disclosed to the republican chair of the House Intelligence Committee that the NSA had been surveilling Trump and/or members of his team, Nunes said on Tuesday he will not share - even with other members of his panel - the source that gave him the intelligence reports which indicated President Donald Trump and his associates may have been ensnared in incidental intelligence collection.
Asked by a Fox News reporter whether he would inform the other committee members about who gave him the reports he viewed on the White House grounds last week, Nunes said: "We will never reveal those sources and methods."
In other words either Nunes is concerned that the source might be in jeopardy should his ID be revealed to members of his own committee, or the source - as some have suggested - is the White House itself, or there is some even more troubling explanation why the House Intel Chief has taken it on himself to be the sole gatekeeper to the critical information.
In any case, on Monday Nunes told Bloomberg he would make his information available to other members of the committee by the end of the week, so we eagerly look forward to that.
Meanwhile, after numerous Democrats including Chuck Schumer and his colleague at the House Intel Committeee, Adam Schiff, had called on Nunes to recuse himself from the Russian investigation, the first Republican to join the Democrats, emerged when Rep. Walter Jones told The Hill that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes should "absolutely" recuse himself from his panel's investigation into Russia's meddling in last year’s election.

But it’s not April 1 yet.
Not a real good April 1 joke, if so.
Good point though.
The probability that something will leak is Geometrically increased with each person being let in on the secret.
I think we know what’s going on here. Nunes (and others who know) can’t say anything — the would probably break some law.
Let’s see, how long did it take for the various committees to get Obama’s birth certificate or college foriegn student funding info? Oh, the Republicans never even asked? What about Hillary’s emails? How long did it take to get them?
More Nunes stuff. I REALLY want a Nunes for Dummies thread. It is TANGLED....
Placemark.
Loretta Lynch who used the Justice Department to cause racial warfare with the organization of the DOJ Community Affairs Devision that organized the Treyvon Martin protests, The Ferguson riots the Baltimore riots and many others. Add that to the Black Lives Matter riots and police mass murder, the LBGT crap and the transgender bathroom crap. The Fast and Furious gun running was used to try to get an international treaty to prevent US from having firearms and who cares how many have to die to convince our society. They are using group division, terrorism and murder to try to tear this country apart. Surveiling Trump is one of the least of their crimes.
I expect the Democrats to be corrupt; I’m very curious why a Republican would be a Never Trumper, associate with Mark Sanford, and back Adam Schiff. Very curious
When a person with evidence of an apparent federal crime comes with that to a congressman, the proper thing for that congressman to do is to alert the President and probably the Attorney General as well, who are responsible for enforcing federal law.
Nunes said the information had nothing to do with Russia. Then why would he share it with the committee, which is investigating Russia?
I want every bit of Nunes I can get. To me it smells like NUKING the swamp, drain it later.
I wonder what Comey brought to his unannounced visit to the WH on 3/24/2017
By the way, I am sure no one will be surprised that a writer at National Review is now calling on Nunes to step down.

We were warned–
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) told Roland Martin in a February interview,
“Obama has put in place the kind of database… will have everything on every individual”
Via Free Republic: (video at above link)
“The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life,” Representative Maxine Waters told Roland Martin on Monday.
“That’s going to be very, very powerful,” Waters said. “That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that.”
Seems Maxine is a couple IQ points not smart enough to say this.
I suppose everything implicated in felonies wants Chairman Nunes to recuse himself.
The article on the National Review is by David French. He’s the guy that Bill Kristol tried to get to run for President against Trump.
As a hit piece it’s fairly weak. Since the swamp is mostly filled with Neo-cons (on both sides of the aisle), of course he’d fight for big govt’ and the status quo.
That pretty much sums it up I think.
And I do not for a minute think Trump or his team were caught in “incidental” intercepts. How did transcribed pone calls get leaked to NYSlimes and WcomPost the next day as well as Flynn’s call to the Russian Ambassador trying to stop the war 0bama was trying to leave for Trump.
It's the only way to be sure.
Actually I think this is what has happened. This whole damn thing is about to go Watergate x 1000. The democrats are now attacking the messenger and ignoring the message that Nunes brought. Comey and Rogers refused to show up for a closed meeting yesterday before the committee. Why Why Why?
Agree on that possibility. Maybe I’m just being hopeful. Or is could give the Dems a chance to destroy the evidence.
And did 0bama care about Iran getting nukes or trying to start a conflict with Russia while leaving office? Probably not. He likely has the beliefs of an islamic suicide bomber.
It is sedition against a constitutionally elected US President. In essence, it is an act of war against the United States.
