The FBI is thus far not cooperating with the House of Representatives' investigation into the NSA's surveillance of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, the chairman of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said today. Nunes said communications from the Trump team were picked up and disseminated within the government during the 2016 campaign. Nunes told reporters that sources within the intelligence community presented him with the information. He spoke to the press after briefing the White House. "We don’t actually know yet officially what happened to General Flynn," Nunes said of how communications from Gen. Flynn's calls were leaked to the press. "We just know that his name leaked out but we don't know how it was picked up yet. That was one of the things that we asked for in the March 15th letter, was for the NSA, CIA, and FBI to get us all the unmasking that was done." "And I'll tell you, NSA is being cooperative," Nunes continued, "but so far the FBI has not told us whether or not they’re going to respond to our March 15th letter which is now a couple of weeks old.” Nunes also reported that as of now, he "cannot rule out" President Obama ordering the surveillance.

Nope, Trump is smart that’s why he is President and you and I are not
No such thing as reasonable cause as far as I know. Probablr cause and reasonabke suspicion.
From CNN 3 days ago. I personally do not know. But hopefully we can put him and Clinton in jail.
Gowdy got Comey to answer the question on camera and under oath. The young female critter tightened the noose.
This has been beautifully orchestrated with great op sec.
Not “exactly true” — but enough to get the topic out in the open. He likes to say something outrageous enough to force the media to react to it, and then its out there.
My husband was watching the Nunes presser between clients today. Client came in and saw what he was watching, asked, he explained and she huffed that she’d ever believe a thing on the internet. Hubby let it go.
Later, she called to say she got home to find her husband watching the presser on TV, saying: “You have to see this. You won’t believe it.” Client apologized profusely to my husband, admitted she was “less than kind” in her response and complimented him on being gracious.
How many other Dems are being redpilled?
President Trump is playing this perfectly. Also, if anyone thinks this is the last of the revelations think again. I think there is much more to come.
Am I the only one who noticed the POTUS wasn’t acting like this was a big deal?

You are not. I agree with your other conclusions.
Why won’t the FBI cooperate?
He unequivocally denied any surviellance of President Trump and denied it on multiple occasions essentially calling the President a liar. If what you say is true he would not been so extreme with his comments.
Second if he was using the committee to broadcast misinformation then the chairman of the committee did not get the memo nor did his democrat colleague.
Because the FBI was doing the spying.
According to Larry Klayman:

If you know Trump by now, you know what he says are not lies. You see him in a light that he’s proven to be trying his best to bring our country out of the swamp/pit.
The lady’s first response was to repeat what she has heard. But she changed her mind.. not a dyedinthewool democrat.. there’s hope for her.
If a person does not know Trump, they believe every negative about him they hear. They don’t want to get to know him .. they want to just hate. They are too shallow to know when our country is being destroyed and too shallow to recognize the one man who is trying to save it. Their rhetoric is what the media feeds them... it’s an inch deep and has no hope.
They are followers and not leaders... if they had any sense, they’d find out who the new President is. But the poison from the media has made them all sick and unable to see any good/truth. If I had no hope, I’d be miserable!
Fox is trying to spin this news today.. they don’t want to give in to positives. I wish they’d have just plain people on their shows... to tell what it’s like outside the beltway... they are talking to each other and don’t have a clue!
Noting that Jamie Gorelick is Ivanka Trump’s lawyer, I don’t hold out any great hopes that Comey will get what he deserves.
FBI guys don’t just tap phones without orders or a warrant.
It’s true that the FBI doesn’t have all access, all the time. But any time a FISA judge signs a warrant, they have quasi-legal access. Only quasi, because the Founding Fathers would never let a FISA Court exist in the first place.
He chose to make a deal with the devil.
What if Comey, who obviously knows many things we don’t, is working for the good of the people?
I don't think these problems are ever going to get solved, until someone really DOES get locked up. These ass hats don't seem to fear anything, until they are led away in handcuffs. So, cuff em.
Maybe Comey will take a hint from Gorsuch’s testimony that lawyers are a very unhappy bunch and have a high rate of suicide.
Spare me—
I WAS CONCERNED THAT OTHER SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES WERE USED AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS ASSOCIATES. FIRST, I RECENTLY CONFIRMED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY INCIDENTALLY COLLECTED INFORMATION ABOUT US CITIZENS INVOLVED IN THE TRUMP TRANSITION. DETAILS ABOUT US PERSONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCOMING ADMINISTRATION, DETAILS WITH LITTLE OR NO APPARENT FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE VALUE WERE WIDELY DISSEMINATED IN INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY REPORTING. THIRD, I HAVE CONFIRMED CONFIRMED THAT ADDITIONAL NAMES OF TRUMP TRANSITION TEAM MEMBERS WERE UNMASKED.
