Nunes confirms illegal surveillance of Trump during Obama regime!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - March 23, 2017 - House Intel Chairman Nunes spoke to reporters when he left the briefing at The White House and had some more stunning things to say.
It appears President Donald Trump may have been right, again. Two days after FBI director Comey shot down Trump's allegation that Trump was being wiretapped by former dictator President Barack Obama before the election, it appears that President Trump may have been on to something because moments ago, the House Intelligence Chairman, Devin Nunes, told reporters that the Fascist Police States of Amerika intelligence community incidentally collected information on members of President Trump's transition team, possibly including Trump himself, and the information was "widely disseminated" in intelligence reports.
Nunes said that President Donald Trump's communications may have been monitored during the transition period as part of an "incidental collection".
Nunes told a news conference Wednesday that the communications appear to be picked up through "incidental collection" and do not appear to be related to the ongoing FBI investigation into Trump associates' contacts with Russia. He says he believes the intelligence collections were done legally, although in light of the dramatic change in the plotline it may be prudent to reserve judgment on how "incidental" it was.
The information was "legally brought to him by sources who thought we should know it," Nunes said, though he provided little detail on the sources.
Nunes also said that "additional names" of Trump transition officials had been unmasked in the intelligence reports. He indicated that Trump's communications may have been swept up.
Nunes said that the intelligence has nothing to do with Russia and that the collection occurred after the presidential election.
Nunes said he briefed House Speaker Paul Ryan (Wis.) on the revelation and will inform the White House later today. Nunes' statement comes after he and other congressional leaders pushed back on Trump's claims that Obama had his "wires tapped" in Trump Tower ahead of the election.
Nunes said Wednesday that it was unclear whether the information incidentally collected originated in Trump Tower.
The revelation comes in the wake of the committee's explosive hearing on Monday, at which FBI Director James Comey confirmed that the bureau has been investigating Russia’s election hacking since July, which includes probing possible coordination between members of Trump’s presidential campaign and Moscow.
The meeting represented the panel’s first open hearing on its investigation into Russia’s election meddling and also featured testimony from NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers.
Nunes says the communications of Trump associates were also picked up, but he did not name those associates. He says the monitoring mostly occurred in November, December and January. He added that he learned of the collection through "sources" but did not specify those sources.
Nunes is going to the White House later Wednesday to brief the Trump regime on what he has learned.
While there are no further details, we look forward to how the media narrative will change as a result of today's latest dramatic developments.
