Fox report: GOP investigators expect evidence showing Obama surveilled Trump team
The Hill ^ | March 23, 2017 | Nikita Vladimirov

Fox News reported Thursday that GOP congressional investigators are expecting to see evidence soon showing that the Obama administration surveilled President Trump's transition team.

An unnamed source told the news channel that the "smoking gun" evidence will be produced to the House Intelligence Committee this week.

The committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) on Wednesday announced to the press that he had seen intelligence reports showing that members of Trump's transition team were "incidentally" swept up in legal intelligence collection of foreign targets.

Nunes briefed the White House on what he had seen, but the documents or their source have not been made available to the rest of the committee. Capitol Hill sources told Fox News that the reports Nunes saw came from several sources.

Despite Nunes saying that he believes the incidental collection was legal, sources told Fox that the intelligence will show that the Obama administration used legitimate surveillance as a cover to spy on Trump.

In his Wednesday remarks to the press and in interviews since, Nunes has stressed his concerns about the so-called "unmasking," or identification, of U.S. citizens picked up in the intel collection. He said the reports were circulated widely through the intelligence community.

Sources told Fox that the unmasking of U.S. individuals was aimed at harming the new administration.

Trump claimed in early March that President Obama had wiretapped him in Trump Tower during the campaign. He said this week he felt "somewhat vindicated" by Nunes's announcement, although the chairman maintained there is no evidence that Obama had Trump's "wires tapped." Nunes said the intel he had seen was collected after the collection and was not related to Russia.

Fox reported that the NSA is expected to hand in documents to the House Intelligence Committee Friday.

"... "incidentally" swept up in legal intelligence collection ..."

Who made it legal?

Heh, you're right. Funny, I lived with a girl from St. Petersburg ... for over a year ... met all her friends and became friends with them, learned some Russian ... and yet ... not a Nikita among them.

Since we're on the subject, here is what I learned ... this is how I would introduce myself to her friends ... as a joke. I have ZERO idea how to spell it.

Yah Pahan! G'dyet via lochad? Vedeii suda! Sechez! Sechez!

This would have caused fights of course but it was pretty clear I was kidding.

“Even if they prove it, I lack the trust to believe indictments and jail time would be forthcoming...the swamp is so big and so deep, I think we are too far gone for true cleansing!”

Exactly. The Democrats and most Republicans are in this thing together and have each other back.

I bet the Democrats defy the constitution and run 0bama for a third term in 2020 and the Republicans do nothing to stop it. Then 0bama wins the election, hands down.

That’s how much faith I have in America.

I think this has something to do with the CIA whistle blower who Larry Klayman was talking about the other day. He has something like millions of documents that show obama used surveillance to spy on hundreds of judges, politicians and businessman. He supposedly worked alongside Clapper and Brennan.

If you go back and listen to the tape where Trey Goudy asked comey questions in the hearing on Monday, it’s plain to see Goudy knew then, what we know now... that it all was true. And so did comey!! Goudy asked about who could unmask the person... he named every one we would suspect.. including obama. He said more than once what the prison time is for that felony. He asked every question, with deliberation, on what we know now, today.. Goudy knew this on Monday.. and so did comey. I wonder what went through comey’s mind when Goudy was presenting the evidence, via questions, much like comey did concerning hillary, some months ago. But what was comey thinking on Monday? He was hearing the damnation of what he was a part of and hiding it... He surely wondered WHEN he’d be found out and what then.. surely he knew if Goudy knew, it would not be long before we all knew. And Goudy did a masterful job of getting the evidence out.. and here on Thursday, it all matches and makes sense from Monday. Goudy set it all up.. he knew and how many more know/knew.. and are still sticking it to Trump when they know it’s all lies.

There may be more than that coming. This interesting bit is happening on Reddit and another Web site tonight:

https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/616ypb/mail1trumpemailcom_meet_tealeaves_and_his_forged/

Way over my head technically but it seems to me that someone was able to force the Trump server to ping the alfa bank server to resolve a bad command code. Can we ping someone who could explain this better?

“documents that show obama used surveillance to spy on hundreds of judges”

*****

Makes you wonder what they got on Chief inJustice Roberts.

It’s not every day that a Supreme Court Justice writes both the majority and dissenting opinions on the same case (Obamacare).

Bang on. This is exactly what he should do. It is the only way he can get over the inevitable spin.

If he can win eve 5% of people over it would be worth it.

That woman is Sarah Carter. For a short time she worked for Beck as his investigative journalist. Her partner in this story is a guy named John Solomon. Their early reporting on this has been stunningly accurate.

Barry’s first day out of office he flew to California to be with some homosexuals. Moosechelle went her own way. So I won’t rule what you’re saying as a possibility.

That was after they returned the brats to the rent - a -welp company in Indonesia

James Rosen first reported this yesterday. His is among a short list of journalists to whom I pay attention. A list which gets shorter each day, btw.

Agreed- I have posted on other threads, I think Obama changed the rule after he realized that Hillary was going to lose. He knew this would blow up in his face.

In short... Someone illegally faked communication between the Trump server and the Russian server as a means to show possible collusion... This being a basis for any investigation or FISA surveillance warrant...

She says she has proof they are fake.

Hope that clears up such...

I think so too. There are good guys in Intel, and freed from Brennan and ValJar and Obama, they can surface to fresh air.

The “whistle blowers” already have surfaced, but can’t gain any traction in the msm. They are still stuck on web pages. Who knows if they are legitimate, but whistle blowers can’t catch a break on the Hill or on the cables.
