House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) said on Sunday that he is not aware of any foreign intelligence surveillance court (FISA) warrant for surveillance of Trump Tower.
“Was there a physical wiretap of Trump Tower? No, but there never was,” Nunes said on “Fox News Sunday.”
He said that information the House Intelligence Committee received from the FBI on Friday “continues to lead us in that direction.”
“The President doesn’t go and physically wiretap something. So if you take the President literally, it didn’t happen,” Nunes said. “I think the concern that we have is that, were there any other surveillance activities that were used.”
“I just want to make that point,” Chris Wallace said. “There is no evidence that there was any wiretap, I’m not talking about President Obama doing it but his administration, no evidence of any wiretapping of Trump Tower?”
“There was no FISA warrant that I’m aware of to tap Trump Tower, that’s correct,” Nunes said. “That’s accurate.”
President Donald Trump has maintained his claims that President Barack Obama’s administration “wire tapped” his phones at Trump Tower despite a lack of evidence to substantiate his allegations, which have faced pushback from Republicans and Democrats alike.
Trump’s claims are bollocks, Devin. Move on! “No FISA warrant THAT I AM AWARE OF” is not moving on. It’s leaving the door open for more alt-right bullshit.
This guy is such a weasel.
No, but depending on whose Twitter feed you believe, Comey be bringin’ the pain to Trump & his cabal of Russian stooges as soon as all the ends are tied up.
Dear Republicans,
The word you are looking for is “LIE”. The President is a “LIAR”.
English is such a great language, to have actual words for what is happening, please use them.
Luvs,
America
You’re right, but his answer is probably the best you can expect from a Trump goon.
What this does though is basically leave Trump on an island all alone with Sean Spicer as his boy Friday.
He’s been slapped hard by our IC, by the British IC, by Democrats and the media. And even Republican leaders are sidling towards the door. Not only that, even Sessions, his own corrupt AG has left him hanging.
One of Trump’s fatal flaws being an absolute inability to apologize or bear responsibility, I believe this won’t end well for him. After all, he even threw Fox News under the bus the other day. Even authoritarians need some friends…he’s driving everyone away.
