In a twist of fate the House Intelligence Committee investigation turned its attention to newly disclosed intelligence reports that suggested the Obama administration directed the electronic surveillance and dissemination of reports targeting President Trump and his transition team prior to the new president’s inauguration. The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Devin Nunes (R., Calif.), hinted that the previous administration used intelligence assets to spy on the communications of the incoming Administration.
According to Nunes, the suggestion that intelligence gathered on American citizens was “incidental,” this is nothing more than legalese designed to provide cover for the conduct of illegal intelligence collecting activities without first obtaining a warrant. The facts that intercepts were maintained and American citizens unmasked (Identified) are compelling evidence of intentional targeting.
Upon being shown classified intelligence reports of electronic collections of Trump team communications, Nunes is convinced that Obama, during his last days in office, was using the cover of legitimate surveillance on foreign targets to spy on the transition team.
The proof of Obama’s intentions was revealed in the unmasking of selected U.S. citizens whose names appeared in the intelligence reports. In routine intelligence collection and reporting, the “U.S. person” is removed from reports unless his identity is significant to the very purpose of that reporting. Only a very few people are permitted to release the names of “U.S. persons.”
Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.), the ranking member of the intelligence committee, is still insisting that several Trump aides colluded with the Russians to defeat Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Presidential campaign. He has no proof for these allegations and several other leading Democrats also have no proof. They are, in fact, basing their accusations on a discredited dossier created by a former British intelligence officer.

I will not be surprised to see Trump’s personal doctor, accounts, and on and on.....
Again! A disclaimer presents itself. Obama was surveiling Team Trump since the biginiing. Why do they feel it necessary to tell us that it started after the election? Is that the only place they are looking? Has the other information been hidden from presentation? Obama and his crew continously show up in these situations. Hillary’s name is absent. Since she is the only person who the information it could help, this is excellent motive. Hillary has all the money. She can buy all the information she wants. Obama was willing to sell it. It is that simple.
Anyone hav3 any clue at all where the ‘smoking gun’ is that was supposed to be announced yesterday?
IMHO, one of the KEY components of this entire, huge, devious spying operation by Obola, Comey, the Clintons and the rest of the amoral democRATS, is that they “knew” Hillary would win and NONE of this would ever be known. So they assumed they had carte blanche to do as they pleased. Friday Nunes seemed to be waffling from previous claims. I’m not sanguine that anyone will ever serve a minute or pay a nickel.
And just like every Hillary crime and its subsequent cover-up, this “Bombshell”, will be “Closed Door Hearing” till it disappears, and Trump and the GOPe will allow it to happen. Wouldn’t want to cause trouble, would we...
When playing games as a kid, the ones who cheated were always the ones who bitched the loudest when they got caught at it, especially if they lost in spite of it.
We would ... until such time as Gorsuch and the Deputy AG are confirmed.
