Republican congressional investigators expect a potential smoking gun establishing that the Obama administration spied on the Trump transition team, and possibly the president-elect himself, will be produced to the House Intelligence Committee this week, a source told Fox News.
Classified intelligence showing incidental collection of Trump team communications, purportedly seen by committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and described by him in vague terms at a bombshell Wednesday afternoon news conference, came from multiple sources, Capitol Hill sources told Fox News. The intelligence corroborated information about surveillance of the Trump team that was known to Nunes, sources said, even before President Trump accused his predecessor of having wiretappedhim in a series of now-infamous tweets posted on March 4.
The intelligence is said to leave no doubt the Obama administration, in its closing days, was using the cover of legitimate surveillance on foreign targets to spy on President-elect Trump, according to sources.
The key to that conclusion is the unmasking of selected U.S. persons whose names appeared in the intelligence, the sources said, adding that the paper trail leaves no other plausible purpose for the unmasking other than to damage the incoming Trump administration.
The FBI hasnt been responsive to the House Intelligence Committees request for documents, but the National Security Agency is expected to produce documents to the committee by Friday. The NSA document production is expected to produce more intelligence than Nunes has so far seen or described including what one source described as a potential smoking gun establishing the spying.
Some time will be needed to properly assess the materials, with the likely result being that congressional investigators and attorneys wont have a solid handle on the contents of the documents and their implications until next week.

There’s another interesting tidbit floating around, to the effect that the NYPD investigators have grown tired of Comey and after this weeks non-testimony they’re going to start leaking on Weinergate.
Schiff is on cocaine. Just look at the pupils of his eyes! He is scared shitless.
We don’t have to see it. AJ Jeff Sessions will see ALL of it.
I’ll wait and see if the unknown sources are reliable or not. Hope they are, but sources sometimes give ya a bum steer.
Mark Levin just read this over the air. It is SHTF time for sure!
Thought that you might enjoy that picture!:)
Oh please oh please don’t let this turn out to be Lucy’s proverbial football, or another strategically pre-orchestrated chess move by the embedded Obozo Deep State.
Looks like we might get a Friday document dump. Nunes is a guest on Hannity’s TV show tonight, so I’ll be watching for foreshadowing. I’m starting to bite my nails!
Indeed.
“The FBI hasnt been responsive to the House Intelligence Committees request for documents...”
Is Sessions capable of getting on the phone to the FBI director and telling him to cough up the documents? Would not take but a few seconds.
Or is Comey a power above all others in the government?
Let’s hope so.
Do you think he will set foot on United States soil again or remain in a place with no extradition treaty with the USA?
All right!
This week? It is Thursday night in D.C.
Great!!! Do you think Trump set up Comey for a fall?
Lucy doesn’t touch a football anymore. She is too busy wearing a pussy-hat and a vayjay costuming, and prancing around with Lena Dunham and Madonna, and planning to burn down the White House!
Fox may owe Judge Napolitano his chair back..or a very hefty settlement, if this pans out..
I quickly opened the article when I saw he wrote it. How apropos.
Or maybe Nap will get the NEXT Supreme Court nomination, when Old Ruthie falls over for the last time!
Yes. I the timing of this relate to Ryancare theater?
My friend tells me tonight on the Hannity show, he is going to have two investigative reporters on his program who is going to name names...
I don’t know, I don’t have FNC, so maybe those that do could see what is let out of the bag tonight...
