If you watch the video posted below (Hat Tip to RiNS), you will find out the following:
House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) says Trump was, indeed, monitored by the Obama Administration.
He said:
I recently confirmed that on numerous occasions, the intelligence community collected information on U.S. individuals involved in the Trump transition,
Details about U.S. persons involved in the incoming administration with little or no apparent foreign intelligence value were widely disseminated in intelligence community reports.
Note the following:
- NONE of the information was related to Russia.
- It was not disclosed to congress.
- It took place in November, December, and January during Trump’s transition.
- It appears to have been legal under FISA.
- Nunes is surprised and alarmed by it.
In my understanding, “masking” occurs during the surveilling of foreign targets. When “incidental collections” of Americans are made, they are then “masked”.
In this case, it will soon be revealed who actually “unmasked” the “incidental collections” of then President-Elect Trump to multiple intelligence channels.
Remember, just eight days before the presidential inauguration, the New York Times reported on an unprecedented action initiated by President Obama:
In its final days, the Obama administration has expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections.
The new rules significantly relax longstanding limits on what the N.S.A. may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations, which are largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws. These include collecting satellite transmissions, phone calls and emails that cross network switches abroad, and messages between people abroad that cross domestic network switches.
Also fascinating is that Louise Mensch reported on the FISA request at HeatSt.com on November 7, 2016, the day before the election; most likely to undermine Trump. Last Friday, in the New York Times, Mensch alluded that Trump’s “wiretapping” Tweets could be an impeachable offense:
This is an issue of the utmost consequence. If Mr. Trump’s tweet alleging that Trump Tower was wiretapped on the orders of President Barack Obama was untrue, Mr. Trump is guilty of a slur. If, however, the president tweeted real news, he revealed the existence of intercepts that cover members of his team in a continuing investigation. That would be obstruction of justice, potentially an impeachable offense.
What a deal! If Trump was wrong, he is a liar who defamed a former president. If Trump was right about the wiretapping, which it now looks like he was, then he might be impeached for obstruction of justice.
It looks like the odds always favor the house.
The Deep State, obviously, knew this was coming. Maybe they got to Mensch, or she was their tool all along. I suspect the latter.
It will be very interesting to see how far this all goes down the rabbit hole.
In the meantime, be very, very quiet. Trump is hunting rabbits.

This administration has got to be the most interesting administration ever.
How can someone get on the Obama firing squad?
I am surprised that acongressionalcommittee actually blew the whistle on this. Now if Sessions will just prosecute somebody maybe they can pressure someone to talk.
Sessions will, of course, recuse himself.
This morning the AP story broke on Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. The MSM was chomping at the bit and ALL of Trump’s opponents (everywhere) were licking their chops.

Next, came Nune’s revelations (as the Intelligence Committee Chairman) that Trump was surveilled complete with “alarming” leaks that were “disseminated” by the Intelligence agencies, which, in turn, added immediate credibility to Trump’s wiretapping claims.
Then, on top of FBI director, Jame’s Comey’s previous denials, Nunes says the FBI is not currently cooperating with the investigation.

And now, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, D-Calif, says they have solid evidence (i.e. more than circumstantial) of Trump’s collusion with Russia:

Diplomacy has failed. Conventional weapons are no longer effective. It appears we’re about to go nuclear.
Also – BTW – Louise Mensch is female. I referred to her as “he” instead of “she” above. Typo.
The American Mob and the Russian Mob are attempting to shake hands, to the exclusion of the DC Corruption Crowd and the Criminal, English-based, Central Banking Mob and the Criminals are NOT happy.
Frankly, Mein Drumpf has erred in his selection of most of his cabinet and he has lost an ability to engender support among many that may have had his back. His selection of Mnuchin, as perhaps, a best example…
The “Mortgage Fraud” is an international criminal disgrace and millions of Americans have been defrauded, while the “Red Menace”-hold-outs, are white-knuckled, in their defense of the “Central Banking Set”.
Article One, Section Eight is unambiguous, while it explains: “Congress shall have the power … To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting SECURITIES and the current coin of the United States”.
The Clintons deregulated “Derivatives”, now, there are over 1200 Trillions, in bogus, intentionally-mislabeled, “Federal Reserve notes, bills and bonds”, owed … to … wait … for … it … : “Derivatives”, that are, in turn, predicated upon “Securities and Insurance Frauds”.
VP? Putin learned defiance of the Corporate-Kleptomockracy and boutique war, (Ukraine) can put some rubles amidst the rubbles of failed leadership and he also learned it can also rubble a new shine into the lack-luster coin of his, once-failing, presidency.
Mein Drumpf would do well to make common cause with the American Middle Class and regain his claim to “Populism”. He ought to borrow some smoke from “Old Hickory” and those lessons learned, by Action Jackson, amidst the perfidy and Treasonous Intent delivered by the second national bank and that piece of busted, Big Banker Dung: Nicholas Biddle.
Disagree with this:
“If Trump was right about the wiretapping, which it now looks like he was, then he might be impeached for obstruction of justice.”
Because the NYT article said that Trump: “tweeted real news, he revealed the existence of intercepts that cover members of his team in a continuing investigation.”
Just finished watching 360 on CuNNt. Mr. Vanderbilt had a panel of 5 and cheered on by Andy, each of them took runs at besmirching the character of Devin Nunes. Labelling him essentially the waterboy for Trump. Saddest and most pathetic was Carl Bernstein of Watergate Fame. That once great reporter reduced to a character assassin.
All of them droning on about need for independent commission. Wondering how this committee can investigate Trump oblivious it seems to fact that their Oreo is now under a cloud of his own. Yet thru the haze there was brief glimpse of honesty. Keeping it real one of the commentators took time out from drive-by shooting to moan about the redirection and hijacking of todays news cycle. Complaining that panel was supposed to be talking about Russian connections of Paul Manafort. Which even if true are hardly illegal.
Yep all kinds of time to speculate about those dealings while bypassing the “unmasking” of Trump Transition conversations. Which as Nunes was quick to point out had nothing to do with the Russians anyways. Even James Comey was forced to admit on Monday that this was a felony and punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Trump is hunting rabbits alright aided it seems by elements in security apparatus that have flipped. Looks likely that it won’t be long before names will be known and Comey gets a call. To be a fly on wall when Trump requests ol’ Jimmy Boy drop by for quick visit.
Just days ago the Democrats and Mainstream media thought they were secure. Probing the wire. Waiting to pounce. Now there is just a whiff of napalm in the air.
Trump promised us folks that this was just the beginning.
But the deplorables rest assured have not tired of winning.

The male is rather distractable; has he not heard about re-runs and VCRs?
The female is in need of attention!
Best headline eeevah!
“Eh, what’s up doc?”
Good to know rabbits are armed with RPKs, and issued 20-round magazines.
Will make hunting them easier, knowing a scoped .30-06 will not only see them at a longer distance, but substantially out-gun them.
Remember, volks, fire superiority, nothing less…
In light of Trump’s wire-tapping accusation, I think it might be more than coincidence that Oreo’s former handler, Valerie Jarrett, moves back in with him and then suddenly he leaves for an entire month to stay at one of the most remote locations on the planet, rendering him unavailable for comment to the MSM. How convenient that he just happens to be away at this moment. I think something big could go down.
Kokoda,
Mensch is a typical liberal Democrat idiot. No, it is not “obstruction of justice” to Tweet that you believe that the government is conducting illegal “wiretapping” (electronic surveillance) against you or anybody else, or that government officials are illegally leaking the names of U.S. citizens picked up in that “incidental surveillance”. It is called being a good citizen. On another subject, the person or persons who ordered, condoned, knew of or participated in any way in this activity are guilty of felonies, period. At the end of the day we will see that this “incidental”, “legal” interception was neither. It was ordered by Obama (surely through what we call a cut out, somebody chosen to take the fall in case things go south) and carried out by liberal traitors in some Federal agency, probably the FBI. Diversity has filled that once proud organization with Obama clones, leftist traitors and outright foreign agents. Trump knew all of this before he made his now famous Tweets about being “wiretapped”. I am sure he has and always has had documentary proof of this and will see that it is released at the proper time. I continue to be amazed at the low IQ antics of the media and the Democrats. Trump plays this game on them again and again and in their boundless arrogance they fall for it every time. He should be selling them the Brooklyn Bridge!
