(CNN) — House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes said Wednesday that President Donald Trump's personal communications may have been picked up by investigators through "incidental collection."

Nunes said at a news conference he discovered the potential surveillance of Trump himself while reviewing intelligence reports, but said it was not related to Russia.

Trump was right.

[WENDLE]

What he actually said is that that thecia transcripts and reports ( not about Russia) of the campaign and the transition were “WIDELY DISSEMINATED!! and that Trump and his team were “unmasked” !!! THAT IS A FELONY. Who received these illegal warrantless wiretaps? This is exactly what Trump tweeted!! This is so great!! Keep those tweets coming DONALD. You by pass the crooked media !!

Mmmmm, perhaps....but to the extent that the London shootings make the (cough) “peace-loving Muslims” look like savage antediluvian killers.....the PC media might slack off.

The MSM will have no choice. This is a huge story. No doubt, you can expect a Trump tweet that will drive the story.

[mikhailovich]

The guy with the secret brief case, Nunes, sure was quick to line up next to Schiff and shoot this thing down a few days ago. Suddenly, someone turned over the goods to him.

That someone must be sh*tting their pants.

Trump may just be sandbagging what he knows.. giving the enemies enough rope to let them hang themselves

[kabar]

Nunes mentioned at his press conference that this reminded him of the intelligence community capturing information on Congress about 18 months ago.

Trey Goudy may have known some things during that hearing. He was the only one worth listening to.. he seemed to be very serious with the felony and jail time. He knows how to word a question to make a powerful impact.

[kabar]

They’re going to go to the mattresses on this. It was necessary to monitor Trump and his staff because - THE RUSSIANS!

According to Nunes who has seen the reports, there is no connection to Russia. Something else.

[Religion and Politics]

Not related to Russia? That makes it even WORSE!!!

[kabar]

Since CNN is finally admitting it “may” have happened, you can bet the bank it most certainly did bigly.

The MSM had numerous stories regarding the surveillance and wiretapping of Trump and his transition team. They cited reliable official sources. This is just confirmation that these stories were true and Trump was correct. Thge MSM would like us to ignore their stories and demand that Trump produce evidence that he was under surveillance. We now have the evidence produced by Nunes.

[Raycpa]

Incidental? I incidentally ran over my neighbors dog. I incidentally got her pregnant? Interesting label. Wonder how many focus groups were used?

[Political Junkie Too]

It will be the new "lone wolf" terrorist meme.

The attack in London was an "incidental" attack that is not linked to ISIS.

An "incidental" incident.

I agree. But even though Nunes has said that this did not involve the RUSSIANS, the media and the rodents won't believe it, because it came from Nunes. This present narrative is unnerving BECAUSE it did not involve the RUSSIANS. It raises the liklihood that it was TRUMP all along who was being illegally surveilled by the intelligence community while OBAMA was President. And that's something they flatly do not want to consider under any scenario other than THE RUSSIANS!

[BigEdLB]

I may not have been a physical wire tap, but it was functionally the same. DJT was right again.

[MinuteGal]

"To the extent that the London shootings make the (cough) 'peace-loving Muslims' look like savage antediluvian killers.....the PC media might slack off."

Won't happen.

Wait for the jackassed media spin! It’s going to be entertaining!

Either insane spine, or will they simply not report it? How can this be reconciled with Comey's Monday testimony?

[VanShuyten]

“...but said it was not related to Russia.”

Yes. Sort of begs the question.

“Well if it was not related to Russia then what was it related to?”

And who was the target? And how would capturing Trump’s communications be incidental to this “investigation”? And whose investigation was this, anyway? And who ordered it? And where and to whom did the transcripts of the intercepts go? And what about the leaks?

This could get fun.

[The_Media_never_lie]

So, that would mean that Trump was correct?

---

Surely they will parse his words to make him seem incorrect, if at all possible.

“Incidental? I incidentally ran over my neighbors dog. I incidentally got her pregnant? Interesting label”

Same weasel type words that liar Clapper used under oath to Congress. “Unwittingly” He is still walking free...disgusting.
