It appears Trump may have been right, again
Two days after FBI director Comey shot down Trump's allegation that Trump was being wiretapped by president Obama before the election, it appears that president Trump may have been on to something because moments ago Politico reported that according to the House Intelligence Chairman, Devin Nunes, "members of the Donald Trump transition team, possibly including Trump himself, were under surveillance during the Obama administration following November's election", he told reporters on Wednesday.
As AP confirms, Nunes said that President Donald Trump's communications may have been "monitored" during the transition period as part of an "incidental collection."
Nunes told a news conference Wednesday that the communications appear to be picked up through "incidental collection" and do not appear to be related to the ongoing FBI investigation into Trump associates' contacts with Russia. He says he believes the intelligence collections were done legally, although in light of the dramatic change in the plotline it may be prudent to reserve judgment on how "incidental" it was.
BREAKING!!! Rep Devin Nunes (Intel Cmte Chmn): There was "Incidental collection" of @realDonaldTrump thru IC surveillance <- BOMBSHELL

Nunes says the communications of Trump associates were also picked up, but he did not name those associates. He says the monitoring mostly occurred in November, December and January. He added that he learned of the collection through "sources" but did not specify those source
Politico adds that Nunes is going to the White House later Wednesday to brief the Trump administration on what he has learned, which he said came from "sources."
Nunes says he is "bothered" by this. Won't say whether or not intel community spied on Trump et. al. But says he is "concerned."

While there are no further details, we look forward to how the media narrative will change as a result of today's latest dramatic development.
Let’s just say it, Trump was correct, Obama wiretapped him.
I’ll spin this for the media. Well, that only means that Trump was under surveillance AFTER the election and not BEFORE the election. Harrumph!
We are told there was surveillance on Trump for different reasons and no one read the transcripts with evil intentions! Yah! Right!
Lololol! Best election ever!
Translation: “Trump was wiretapped by Obama”.
Would Nunes have been in a position to know what Trump’s people turned over to Congress in response to their demand for proof of surveillance?
Whoa... This is FAR from over it appears.
What did Obama know and when did he know it?
Pray America woke
So Comey lied to Congress. Isn’t that a felony?
CNN has already spun it. LOL
The number of Americans who actually care? That is unfortunately a different story.
> Trump’s communications may have been “monitored” during the transition period as part of an “incidental collection.”
Limited hangout.
And I'd wager that he's still being surveilled by sore losers. I'm saying surveilled instead of wire-tapped, since the wiretap may not literally be a wire.
HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,
All this trouble for the first half white pResident.
All because of race that judgement will be slow?
You see many successful, professional hard working A-A, what do they think of all of this?
Its a fine line Family safety should come first.
LMAO! Are they predictable or what?
Never bid into someone holding Aces and Trumps. Something is coming down.
Hold on! Trump said he was TAPPED by a WIRE.
Show me ONE PHOTO of Obama tapping Trump with a wire... on the shoulder, on the head, anything will do!
< /media>
Obama DID NOT order wiretapping. His order was “Do whatever you can to destroy Trump’s administration.” The wiretapping was an incidental part of the effort to follow his order. /sarc
President Trump told Tucker Carlson last week in an interview that new info would be coming out in the next two weeks so here ya go..Trump was RIGHT..lying Commie media was WRONG
