McCain: Nunes’ action as intelligence committee chair ‘very disturbing’
Yahoo News ^ | March 23rd, 2017 | Gabby Kaufman

Adding to the uproar over Rep. Devin Nunes’ disclosure that the communications of President Trump and his transition team may have been intercepted by American intelligence or law enforcement agents, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Thursday described Nunes’ actions as “very disturbing.”

Nunes, the California Republican who heads the House intelligence committee, called a press conference Wednesday to announce that he had informed the White House that Trump transition communications may have been subject to “incidental collection” in the course of surveillance of other targets, possibly foreign. Nunes faced severe criticism from both sides of the aisle for making the information available to the press and the White House before briefing other members of his own committee, which is currently investigating suspicions of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Speaking on NBC’s “Today” Thursday, McCain said Nunes’ action was unprecedented.

“I have not seen anything like it, and it’s very disturbing.”

I honestly can't think of a Republican I despise more than John McCain, and my list of despised Republicans includes people like Paul Ryan. This a$$h0le McCain is a disgrace to his party and his country and is a danger to national security—not to mention the fact that he's showing clear signs of dementia.

That covers it. Trump won McCain lost. He can’t stand it.

What was disturbing - what was being done or that it was disclosed?

but nothing has changed since the director of the FBI said that there was no evidence that Trump Tower had been ‘wiretapped,’” McCain said.

“That has not been refuted.”

Still, McCain maintained that the Trump-Russia saga was likely to play out for some time.
“I’ve been around this town long enough to know, when there’s something of these consequences, this enormity, there’s always additional information that comes out before it’s concluded,” he said.

“There’s more to come.”

I recall this navy guy years ago saying the Captain was not traveling with a full sea bag. McCain damn sure has been without a full sea bag for years. I was told it was a Navy saying.

“Disturbing”...that’s McCain’s answer to everything either he, or Graham, didn’t think of first.
