The chairman of the House intelligence committee has backed down from his dramatic assertion that Donald Trump and his aides were "monitored," by U.S. spies — a claim the Republicans have cited this week in fundraising emails.
Rep. Devin Nunes told reporters Friday he can't be sure whether conversations among Trump or his aides were captured in the surveillance that has become a source of controversy since Nunes made it public in two news conferences this week.
"He said he'll have to get all the documents he requested from the (intelligence community) about this before he knows for sure," his spokesman, Jack Langer, said earlier.
Langer asserted that Nunes did not explicitly say Trump was spied on when he briefed reporters Wednesday that he was "very concerned," that "the intelligence community incidentally collected information about American citizens involved in the Trump transition."
As for Trump's assertion that Obama wiretapped him, Nunes repeated Friday what he has said previously, telling reporters, "That didn't happen."

Recordings could emerge of Obama and Clinton joking about something Trump said, caught on illegal surveillance, and the media and left would reject it as inconclusive.
Of course, NBC. Because we have to get back to RUSSIA!!
It’s not daily. It’s multiple times every day that the sand shifts.
This whole thing really is unreal.
They know that somebody HIGH UP IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AUTHORIZED THIS...........................
The “Russia hacked the election” farce.
Continues to be a success at its intended purpose: preventing the prosecution of Hillary Clinton.
WTH is this?
Rep. Nunes has made next week’s intel session closed and is brining back both NSA and FBI directors.
Paul Manafort offered to testify via his counsel.
FAKE News
Looks like the CIA told Nunes what they have on him.
OHHHHH. So now that Nunes appears to be “backing down”, suddenly the Fake News Media is interested in the story.
Byline: Nothing But Crap so can we believe it?
MSM spin. Trump said he used “wiretapping” in quotes to mean surveillance.
The MSM pretends it can only mean some Obama henchman dressed as a maintenance guy physically planting a microphone in Trump’s office.
One thing about the Trump era, is now no one in the country can claim with a straight face that the MSM is not the propaganda arm of the Democrat party.
NBC=fake, subversive news. They can be trusted? LOLOLOL
Trying to set up the agenda for Meet the Press on Sunday. This way, Chuck Todd can bash Nunes for the whole hour, tossing in a little of “Russian Collusion” and “failed GOP health care” along the way. They are good to go.
I posted last night that he had been ‘Got To’. His press briefing yesterday afternoon was full of, “Its all legal”, “Its on the Margin”, “No Wiretapping”. Told ya so
Fake News propaganda.
NBC is not a credible news source.
It’s like the congressional hearings in The Godfather Part II, when the senators think they’ve got the goods on Michael then one of them turns because Michael blackmailed him with the death of a prostitute.
============================================
Direct from the blabbermouthing Maxine Waters: “Well, you know, I don’t know, and I think some people are missing something here. "
" President Obama has put in place an organization that contains a kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very very powerful and whoever…and that database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that."
"They’re going to have to go down with that database and the concerns of those people are because they can’t get around it and he’s been very smart and it’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”
==============================================
Obama and the Democrats are so corrupt---they cant even fathom that gathering info on citizens is a despicable tactic of a totalitarian dictator---NOT DONE in a constitutional republic.
