This proves Trump right in an alternate universe where he Tweeted "the intelligence community was watching some people on my transition team" and not "How low has President Obama gone to tapp [sic] my phones"

It doesn't matter if it was legally collected. The fact is they spied on Trump Campaign.

Not sure who your second line is quoting, I've always thought Flynn, Manafort, Page, etc., were (legitimate) targets.

I'm telling you. Liberals will claim victory unless a photo surfaces of Obama outside of Trump Tower in a bucket truck with a hard hat and a lineman's handset.

BREAKING: Nunes says 'possible' Trump communications swept up in incidental surveillance involving his campaign, not related to Russia



So Trump's own communication was incidentally intercepted while the government was trying to wiretap his campaign? Or his campaign was incidentally surveilled while they were trying to wiretap Trump?

My arse.

Whoever unmasked Flynn knew exactly what they were doing. You think that was incidental?

Which means we're exactly where we were a month ago, with Obama not involved and Trump not targeted. Nunes squirting ink at the press doesn't change that.

Just as I said in several other threads. This BS is all semantics and a product of everyone hiding behind classification.



It sounds like they were on a fishing expedition involving Russia and happened to have incidental surveillance on the Trump campaign.

Your thread title is wrong--these comments from Nunes do not say that foreign surveillance was "used on Trump", at least not from the way Nunes's comments are summarized in these tweets. Nunes said that the surveillance was incidental, meaning that Trump's campaign was not the target of the surveillance. Someone not part of the Trump campaign was the target, and that person (or multiple persons) were in contact with Trump's campaign, resulting in incidental collection of information about the campaign.

He also says the surveillance was unrelated to Russia, which is interesting.

Finally, he thinks it was all legal, which is also noteworthy.

Hopefully we'll learn more about this.

Whose narrative? It's not like everyone who opposes Trump does so on same things for the same reasons.

I'm sure no one in the Obama admin shared this intel just like I'm sure a fat person in a room full of cakes doesn't eat one while no one is looking.
