2 White House Officials Helped Give Nunes Intelligence Reports

[Diamond Jim]

WASHINGTON — A pair of White House officials played a role in providing Representative Devin Nunes of California, a Republican and the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, with the intelligence reports that showed that President Trump and his associates were incidentally swept up in foreign surveillance by American spy agencies.

The revelation that White House officials assisted in the disclosure of the intelligence reports — which Mr. Nunes then discussed with President Trump — is likely to fuel criticism that the intelligence chairman has been too eager to do the bidding of the Trump administration while his committee is supposed to be conducting an independent investigation of Russia’s meddling in the last presidential election.

Several current American officials identified the White House officials as Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior director for intelligence at the National Security Council, and Michael Ellis, a lawyer who works on national security issues at the White House Counsel’s Office and formerly worked on the staff of the House Intelligence Committee.

A White House spokesperson declined to comment.

people dont even know what incidental collection is. LMAO

Trumpanzees... if your lord and savior is being incidentally collected it is because he is communicating with people who are being watched by intelligence agencies. This is not a breach of civil rights but rather it shows Trump has connections with people our government is watching. That's how pathetic the media and the public is. They can't seem to make sense that incidental collection is a result of just your name being brought up and it can come from actual criminals who are being watched.

And it is disgusting the person who is supposed to keeps checks and balance on the president is feeding this distracting and vague information that does nothing but get the ignorant riled up.

 

[Fawlty]

Nunes has made it his holy mission to kill the investigation. I don't think Comey will play that shit, he'll go public if he needs to.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Can we charge anyone with a crime yet?

It's like being busted because you showed up at a drug dealers house to buy drugs while the unmarked FBI van was staking out said dealer.

Well Devon Nunes is going to have to share the details eventually and Trump is going to look foolish. The devon nunes crap was just to buy a little time.

How about that. A new fan of Comey, who was previously a vicious hater.

Wrong. I defended Comey's integrity even when he fucked over my candidate.

Apologize.

the white house essentially gave nunes intel so he can go to the white house to make it look like nunes was giving them new intel when they already knew what the intel was.
all of this over a stupid trump tweet.
Nunes is so fucked here in his own district.

Trump supporters don't know what shame is, they're sociopaths.

Remember when Loretta Lynch recused herself from the Clinton investigation after meeting with Bill privately on a tarmac for almost an hour? Nunes should follow her example.

I like how you cannot even be honest about the reported amount of time the two met.

That just proves how disingenuous your position is.

ABC NEWS reports that the meeting lasted about 30 minutes


30 minutes isn't almost an hour according to liberal 'literal' police. Because clearly that's the problem with this story

30 minutes is a half hour according to everyone else in the world that isn't a moron exaggerating weak arguments.
