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 dont 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 theyre 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.

“..I give Comey about a month and he is gone...”
He and others should be held in CONTEMPT and punished. Just fining him lets him off way too easy. Accountability for the thugs of Washington should be a high priority for Trump and his administration. I hope there is a plan in the works to put people in prison for all the illegalities and corruption we have seen.
CNN’s been covering it and Nunez is on right now, talking to Tapper.
And Im right again.
Been explaining FISA, CALEA and 1996 Telecom Law to my friends on the other side, who are calling Trump a liar.

They tell us today they dont collect locations of cell phone trawled for in pursuit of a target named in a warrant.
I want you to understand when they issue a warrant, many times, with Reasonable Cause They are violating the Constitution by:
1. Using Reasonable Cause as the basis for a warrant. The Constitution requires no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause.
2. supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
As to point 2. above wrap your head around Whole Pipe Access. Here they have granted themselves direct access to the Whole Pipe of transmission of information, be that voice or data and includes every last relevant part of a transmission, including location of cell phone at any time during transmission of wink/wink, keep alive, GPS, txt, email, incoming and outgoing calls.
Whole pipe access trawls every device transmitting during the time the NSA, DOJ, DEA and FBI is gathering information on a target. There is a technical reason for why they do this but, I still believe it is against the law for them to gather information, especially as a matter of habit, course and intent, of innoccent people, organizations, enterprises and groups, who have not been named in the warrant havent even a tangential relationship to the target named in the warrant.
Service providers are required by to provide all information transmitted by a cell phone, VoIP, PSTN, FAX, VPN, etc inclding CLLI and any and all information that would identify where a transmission geographically begins and ends, as well where the device is when idle.
Now, I purposely misspelled searcches in the title of the thread. Why? Because frequently the information they are targeting is just that much incorrect. Think about that and what I wrote as you delve into my article explaning the history, laws passed, and technical means.
Youll agree with me, that the NSA and the other alphabet agencies are flat out lying when they claim they dont dont do this or that. They do because of the technical means they use to achieve their aims and also because they have less reason to not keep all that is caught in the trawling of a Whole Pipe, during their unConstitutional search and they, having no client to defend will, have, do and will continue to archive any all information they obtain unlawfully.
Everyone of these Asshats are liars.
yes....because they are too busy destroying any records that validate what Trump has stated.
Plain as the NOSE on your face.
Someone needs to point out to democrats that if Obama’s fbi can ignore congressional oversight, so can Trump’s.
If they’re as scared of Trump as they claim, they should be screaming loudest about the fbi being uncooperative. If they’re sure Obama did nothing wrong they should be screaming even louder to clear him. But maybe they aren’t so sure of his innocence - we know that somebody broke some serious laws.
“multiple FISA warrants outstanding against Trump” WOW!
IMHO, it will be less than two weeks.
If we are lucky, we might get a video of an epic weasal meltdown complete with gnashing of teeth.
Fire Comey .... did you notice how many times he said “Trump” instead of President Trump when he was testifying?
Replace him with Sheriff Clark who is a registered democrat and is also black.
Great optics!
The letter was dated one week ago not two.
Why does anyone believe that this operation would be revealed to the FBI? We are dealing with a completely lawless bunch here which does not go through legal channels.
FIRE COMEY !
This is why Obama hastily allowed communications between security agencies....this info had already been exchanged, and he knew it!
It’s because Trump is right.
So, did I miss something yesterday about why this questions wasn’t asked by these azzhats?
Simply put the FBI is in the forefront of doing the democRATS work, which is the impeachment of Trump.
It’s time to put some FBI agents in JAIL!
Unless POTUS gives them National Security and Exec Privilege cover.
Even if he did that, he’d still be more of a man than Ted Cruz ever was.
