RockRaines Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 22, 2017 -> 01:52 PM) Nunes, who has been whining about "illegal leaks" since the start of things and has been trying to make that the center of any Trump/Russia/general corruption-incompetence discussion, held a press conference today to leak a bunch of classified info regarding Trump's team and possibly Trump himself having 'incidental collection' of some of their communications. Nunes also decided that he needed to brief Trump and Co. and hold this press conference before briefing the ranking Democrats on the committee https://twitter.com/JohnJHarwood/status/844627796710359041 I love how trump doesnt even understand why this makes him look like an asshole.

Such a dumpster president. lol no edit: in case this is serious and not just a long-running troll at this point: -Trump claimed that Obama had Trump Tower and Trump wiretapped and indicated it was done illegally when he claimed it was "worse than Watergate" -Nunes is claiming that Trump associates had 'incidental collection' as part of legitimate, ongoing surveillance of foreigners who were not Trump or Trump associates. Trump/Trump associates were recorded on conversations with these other people under surveillance. Edited March 22, 2017 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump's team was under surveillance for almost a year due to ties to foreign governments. His own campaign manager has been funneling money from Russia to trump for over a decade. i dont see how any of that looks good for Trump or his team.

The key thing about Nunes's revelation at this point is that he made it clear that any records of Trump/Trump team contacts were part of 'incidental collection' and that Trump/Trump team weren't the targets of surveillance themselves. Which means Trump's claims are still loony tunes nonsense, but that won't stop the ignorant and gullible from running around shouting "TRUMP WAS RIGHT!" And there's still no indication that Nunes was authorized to release this classified information in the first place, which is just sort of funny given how much he's been crying about the evilness of leaked information. Why is Nunes, who is supposed to be running an independent investigation, running to personally debrief Trump before even sharing the information with his own committee anyway?

Middle Buffalo Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'm usually irritated when I'm in traffic and it slows down to a complete crawl because someone on the other side of the highway has a flat tire. I think, why are people slowing down to look at that. That said, I'm thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to "rubber neck" at this car accident of a President the American people elected. This administration can't get out of its own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is crazy. Nunez basically mislead the public, if not flatly lied. I can only assume Trump himself told Nunez what to do. Seems strange that these intercepts are not related to Russia, and even if they are released, they can't hurt Trump. Like a 2005 tax return, for example. Meanwhile, Nunez is blaming Comey for not providing certain information to the intel committee. How about this: Comey knows Nunez can't be trusted and is probably going down with this ship.

caulfield12 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/22/politics/us-...ians/index.html The FBI has information that indicates associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign, US officials told CNN. One law enforcement official said the information in hand suggests "people connected to the campaign were in contact and it appeared they were giving the thumbs up to release information when it was ready." But other U.S. officials who spoke to CNN say it's premature to draw that inference from the information gathered so far since it's largely circumstantial. The FBI cannot yet prove that collusion took place, but the information suggesting collusion is now a large focus of the investigation, the officials said. On the plus side, there are 50-100 Scion Hotels (representing Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka) planned in the US over the next 3-4 years. First one will apparently be in Dallas. Many cities like Seattle are basically saying "over my dead body" will a Trump/Scion branded hotel be coming to their community. Suggested prices will be a much more "reasonable" $200-300 USD per night, about half the normal Trump-branded rate.
