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.
This is going to be interesting to see where this all leads to. He said most of this has nothing to do with Russia.
One more thing, I love the term “incidental” as stated above. How in the hell to they no as this news is just getting under way.
They’re NOT going to ask Obozo to testify, that’s for sure. That would be highly racist /s
2 words, ‘Special Prosecutor’
Didn’t Clapper do the same? He too got away with it.
The most chilling thing about this whole political surveillance exposure is that not one single intelligence agent in any of the involved agencies was appalled enough at the flagrant violations that strike at the heart of a free republic to blow the whistle on the Obama regime.
Not a single one.
“Just following orders.”
They really are poised for wholesale oppression never before seen in this country.
Comey lied to Congress.
Thanks, Velveeta. (Laws are for 'little people'.)
Poor Martha Stewart did jail time for far less.
Comey lied to Congress.

At 4:24 min mark Nunes says “we don’t know if the FBI will comply”
14:10 Minutes
Breaking - PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS WIRE TAPPED more of his Team Unmasked

From this link
Intel Chairman Devin Nunes: President-Elect Trump Was Under Surveillance By Obama Intel Community…
Then at a press conference later on...
Breaking - PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS WIRE TAPPED more of his Team Unmasked
"No evidence of a "physical" wiretap but that other surveillance activities were used against President Trump and his associates"
Sure looks like it. Nunes said that his committee is still waiting for the FBI to respond to their letter requesting information (from a week or two ago) and that the NSA is cooperating.
Also, nothing that Nunes has seen has had anything, not a thing to do with Russia (begin around mark 6:35).
"Recently" is a relative term. Is a month ago recent? How about two months ago?
Giving out more rope?
The MSM is more focused on Manifort and the Russians on the news tonight
BTTT! Keeping this at the top.
Someone in the intelligence community didn’t agree with Clappers lies and probably Comeys parsing of words and got this to the congressman and the congressman is being politically correct by not calling a spade a spade.
Given Boobamba's lack of ethics and his penchant for using surveillance all the time, every bone in my body says he did it! ... and he had one of his henchmen -- ValJar or whoever -- whisper the orders.
The nature of this surveillance is much riskier than it was for the IRS targeting of conservatives. With that order, Obama really never needed to hear back from anybody on status. With DeepStateGate, Obama had to get feedback from time to time on what was discovered. Somebody on his team probably got daily reports.
When Obama got deeply involved in Hillary's campaign late in the game, he looked nervous and frustrated many times. Remember when he badly stuttered trying to say Trump's name?
Hope he's enjoying his little vacation in Tahiti. I hear winters in Fort Leavenworth are awfully cold for people wearing orange pajamas.
Well well well, how about this? Trump knew what he was doing when he did his tweet and knew that the left would implode after being exposed, there’s no way he’d drop that accusation without having the goods. Like always, he makes the tweet, lets the left spend a few weeks “proving” that he’s whacko, and then gets the drop on them. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“May have”? Just read that as a big fat YES.
