So, that would mean that Trump was correct?

It’s amazing how Trump is lambasted for declaring something in a tweet. Then when the pot is stirred all kinds of things begin to rise to the surface.

CNN: House Intel chairman: Trump's personal communications may have been collected

Good thing it wasn't done by "wiretapping", why that would make CNN liars and Fake Newsies!

CNN is reporting this? Hallelujah!! I never doubted Trump on this. After you get to know a person, you know the ones you can trust and the ones you can’t. Trump has proved he keeps his word... that’s good enough for me.

There is no one in Washington who has been there a bit... who even aims to keep his word!

Strange that a bunch of people (i.e., The Fake News Media) twisted themselves into a pretzel to explain away B.J. Clinton's, "it depends on what the meaning of 'is' is", lunacy are now going all Merriam-Webster on the meaning of the word, "wiretapped".

President Trump was obviously under some sort of surveillance by Barky's goons during the campaign and transition.

They kind of, sort of collected his communications.

I would have to wonder what agency was kind of, sort of, collecting his stuff. I am not sure there are any that are supposed to work in the US aside from the FBI.

(I know they do. My Dad was in the Counter Intelligence Corps during the mid 1950s. He would tell me a story and I would say, “but that’s not legal.” He would look back at me like I was an idiot. Which at the time, I was.)_

Bombshell: Nunes Says There Was “Incidental Surveillance” Of Trump During Obama Administration

It appears Trump may have been right, again

Two days after FBI director Comey shot down Trump’s allegation that Trump was being wiretapped by president Obama before the election, it appears that president Trump may have been on to something because moments ago Politico reported that according to the House Intelligence Chairman, Devin Nunes, “members of the Donald Trump transition team, possibly including Trump himself, were under surveillance during the Obama administration following November’s election”, he told reporters on Wednesday.

As AP confirms, 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.

BREAKING!!! Rep Devin Nunes (Intel Cmte Chmn): There was “Incidental collection” of @realDonaldTrump thru IC surveillance <- BOMBSHELL

— Eric Bolling (@ericbolling) March 22, 2017

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 source

Politico adds that Nunes is going to the White House later Wednesday to brief the Trump administration on what he has learned, which he said came from “sources.”

Nunes says he is “bothered” by this. Won’t say whether or not intel community spied on Trump et. al. But says he is “concerned.”

While there are no further details, we look forward to how the media narrative will change as a result of today’s latest dramatic development.

The Obama administration gathered information on Trump with the intent to use it in a “Clinton administration” to destroy Mr. Trump, his businesses, family, and associates. The fatal flaw was that Hillary was a terrible candidate and lost bigly.

Remember, Obama used the power of government to prohibit conservative organizations from forming tax-exempt organizations in an election year, tapped phones on 20 AP reporters, James Rosen from FOX News including his parents, and other abuses of power.

Someone needs to go to prison.

So, the January 21, 2017 front page article in the New York Times was right. Maybe Trump should apologize to the New York Times because they were correct for once. Make it a limited apology and rub their noses in it at the same time.

Trump said last week news was coming. If true another example of Trump playing Sheldon Cooper 3D chess with the rest of Washington playing Checkers missing half the game pieces.
