Towergate Will Be Investigated: Congress Will Probe Trump's Claims Obama Bugged Manhattan Home
Daily Mail/Associated Press ^ | 17:43 EST, 5 March 2017 | By Dailymail.com Reporter and Associated Press and Nikki Schwab, U.s. Political Reporter Dailymail

The Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee says his panel will probe President Donald Trump's allegations that Trump Tower was wire-tapped by President Obama's administration. Rep. Devin Nunes, Rep for California, said his committee 'will make inquiries into whether the government was conducting surveillance activities on any political party's campaign officials or surrogates', the chair said in a statement Sunday afternoon.

Earlier Sunday, Senate Intelligence Committee member, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., suggested his committee would look into the matter as well. 'We've already begun an inquiry on the intelligence committee into Russia's efforts to undermine confidence in our political system,' Cotton said.

'That inquiry is going to be thorough, and we're going to follow the facts wherever they lead us. And I'm sure that this matter will be a part of that inquiry.'

Cotton's committee chair, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., made a broader statement. 'As I've said since the beginning and have repeated since, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence will follow the evidence where it leads, and we will continue to be guided by the intelligence and facts as we compile our findings,' Burr said Sunday.

Not optimistic about Republicans’ ability to get to the truth. It’ll probably go like this:

Q: “Did you guys do anything wrong?”

A, from every scum-sucking lying Dem liberal who ever lived: “NOoooooo!!!”

Repubs: “Ok”

Leave no stone unturned. The Liberal Messiah has established a shadow government WITHIN the Trump Administration. The President needs to drain the swamp that’s inside the White House.

Baraaaak has eavesdropped on everyone and has been for years:

“Although President Obama had promised to curb eavesdropping on world leaders who are U.S. allies after Edward Snowden leaked documents revealing the extent of the surveillance, there were a few leaders the White House wished to continue monitoring, including Netanyahu.
Before a campaign event in Cisco, Texas, Sen. Ted Cruz said he wasn’t surprised that the administration was trying to intercept Netanyahu’s communications, or even that conversations including members of Congress may have been swept up by the NSA, “because this administration views Congress, Republicans and sometimes even Democratic members of Congress as their enemy....At times, it seems like they view the American people as their enemy.”

Now he’s tapped Trump.....not surprising.
Throw Obama and his minions in Gitmo.

I hope we've all learned a very important and delightful lesson from the events of the last 48 hours:

The Washington political establishment and their media partners are filled with people who will admit that they are liars -- and maybe even criminals -- if that's what it takes to refute a pointed, belittling Twitter message from Donald Trump.

I don't think I've been this awe-struck by the dealings of a public figure in my life.

Hence, my new tagline ...

“Baraaaak has eavesdropped on everyone and has been for years”

Which begs the question, how did he always get his way? why did the GOP bend over backwards for him even as he insulted them to their faces?

If you’re talking about Nunes, he has been very pro-Trump ... Nunes deserves our full support , unlike the traitor Chaffetz ...

There are no “conservatives”. It is a mythological beast. The GOP will get to the bottom of ALL foreign involvement starting with the millions from the Saudis to the Clinton Foundation and Slush Fund. Attempts to purchase influence is fair game.
