The FBI is not cooperating with the House of Representatives' investigation into the NSA's surveillance of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, the chairman of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), said today. During an explosive press conference outside the White House, Nunes told reporters that communications from the Trump team were picked up and disseminated within the government during the 2016 campaign. Nunes said sources within the intelligence community presented him with the information. He spoke to the press after briefing the administration.
"We don’t actually know yet officially what happened to General Flynn," Nunes said of how communications from Gen. Flynn's calls were leaked to the press. "We just know that his name leaked out but we don't know how it was picked up yet. That was one of the things that we asked for in the March 15th letter, was for the NSA, CIA, and FBI to get us all the unmasking that was done."
"And I'll tell you, NSA is being cooperative," Nunes continued, "but so far the FBI has not told us whether or not they’re going to respond to our March 15th letter, which is now a couple of weeks old.”
Nunes also reported that as of now, he "cannot rule out" President Obama ordering the surveillance. And contrary to earlier media reports, Nunes clarified that the surveillance was not related to the FBI's investigation into possible collusion with Russia. This surveillance, he emphasized to reporters, does not "have anything to do with Russia."

What, exactly, did the Russian play on our election, consist of?
It is very sophisticated cyber campaign of fabricated news stories getting pushed on social media sites such as facebook and twitter. Information wars are being waged...
Bullshït. Every good red-blooded Trumpian knows Hillary was running a child sex ring. Shut your piehole, liberal scum!
It's telling that you're DEFENDING the old hag, here, again. ......speaks volumes about who, and what you aren't, Jeff.

Ok, got the tree bucked up. Did I mention it landed exactly where it was supposed to? Gotta get that in there since the last tree I dropped- a huge cottonwood- didn't do what it was supposed to. This was revenge. Vindication. Affirmation of my sheer awesomeness. Like I needed THAT, but, you know...
Guys... try to see this objectively... Nunes wasn't wigging because there were intercepted communications between the Trump team. He's wigging because of what's in those communications. Remember, there was a classified briefing after the public one on Monday. Why was he gonna go talk to Trump about this? Not because these exist; that's been known since prior to Steele, unless you are a Trumpian with your head up the Breitbart butt I guess. It's what's IN THEM.

Greg, I deeply dislike Hillary Clinton. Hag is too nice a word. I did not vote for her. Period.
You guys want to see a picture of my ballot?! Would that put this to bed?

We'd like to see your evidence of Trump-Russia collusion. We don't really GAS who you voted for.
Mr. Bigfish, I have as much hard PROOF that there was collusion as you have that there was not. The difference is that all signs are pointing towards it happenenjng and no signs are pointing the other way. The other difference is since I'm not wedded to either POS party I'm able to read the tea leaves with some degree of objectivity... unlike you.
Cool...... now show us the one where you voted for Obama. That's the one that shredded your credibility.
Not that voting for Johnson helped it any.
