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.
He even signaled when the proof was coming and here it is.
Or get the flu, the 3-hour kind.
Haha!!!!
Exactly!
It is fun to watch.
He covered his tracks or someone else would take the fall but it’d be awesome.
Good job Liz!!!
The way the leftist media has running around screaming the last few weeks, you KNOW there’s a lot more to this story!
Probably parsed his words.
I’m thinking someone in the Intel community has had enough and passed it on to congress.
The Demonrats have grave ‘concerns’: http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/325298-schiff-i-have-grave-concerns-over-nunes-surveillance-claims
Just like the election, they “got this”, and then at the last minute it all goes slipping away....
Yeah but it’s a bombshell to the MSM who probably knew but chose to provide cover.
Wouldn’t doubt it.
Lol.
Didn’t Trump say something big would come out about his wiretapping tweet? Maybe I was just dreaming but I think he did.
Ahhh I did remember correctly.
If I read post 20 I wouldn’t have said that to you. Lol. Just saw it.
Lol. Exactly. They parse to the hilt!

They didn’t. They’re more concerned with Manforts Russia connection.
