I mean, incidental gathering is what ended Flynn.
So, depends what was said.
Doesn't it seem odd that he was able to throw in "it's not about Russia?" Almost as if he's able to answer yes or no to what the communications WERE about. I'm confused.

I honestly thought something was up with how Nunes went to Comey,"JUST SO YOU KNOW, the republican platform was NOT weakened, in fact, it was made tougher on Russia and Ukraine!!!... I just want you to make sure you make that FACT known in your investigation..
You're writing in down, right?... right Mr. Director.. oh god.. please tell me you'll remember that.. you promise... PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I DIDNT DO ANYTHING I SWEAR TO GOD"
If it "wasn't related to Russia" what else can it be then? Cant think of any other thing other than it relating to the elction or some money passing hands maybe.
This is how they do it. They target you, but they don't want to say they're targeting you, so they target a lot of people around you. That's how they get you and your information. That's how they got me - the lying media tried to cover this up, but Nunes is an honest man and wouldn't allow that to happen.Is Nunes implying that this might validate Trump's wiretapping claim?
Because this doesn't sound like wiretapping.
See, this right here is why you DO LUNCH.
There had to have been someone who loved Trump Steaks.He is gonna walk into the White House and speak to the President about this.
No one has been briefed so he is doing it alone.
Like in the Matrix when Cypher (Joe Pantoliano's character) betrays everyone so he can be king.
Lol Nunes what the fuck are you doing

He got this information from intelligence reports, which presumably summarize or otherwise detail the content of the communication.
If you go back and watch that committee hearing with Comey, Nunes looks pretty nervous. Its easy (for me at least) to spot when someone is worried and trying to hide it.
But that information is usually classified. Normally you can't even confirm/deny the existence of FISA collected information, let alone discuss the content of what was collected.
This entire thing sounds like him digging through whatever has been made available to them to find "something" to justify Trumps claims, and he's then trying to spin it in a way to vindicate Trump without making the Russia connection accusations worse.
Nunes is a tool.
TEAM TRUMP TAPPED?
Lawmaker: Feds picked up 'incidental' chatter
Trump team communications captured by intelligence community surveillance, Nunes says

I'm on to you Streve Brannon, if that's even your real name!See, this right here is why you DO LUNCH.
Yeah, just look at the Fox News spin:
I assume he has clearance for the reports he is reviewing.

Because this doesn't sound like wiretapping.
I mean, it's a pretty shitty spin.
That fact that the campaign was under surveillance at all means that they were in contact with people who were under surveillance, i.e. individuals on the FBIs shit list. Obama had nothing to do with it from square 1.
I don't see that as a great defense.

"We need to be looking into these illegal leakers!"Clearly. That doesn't include being able to disclose it in a press conference though.

It couldn't be that we actually have some non-Russia dirt unearthed, could it? Back during the campaign we were all hoping for cut Apprentice footage of him dropping the n-bomb. Maybe something along those lines?
Asked what he wanted to see go away in 2017, Mr. Paladino answered, Michelle Obama, Id like her to return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla.
Wait a second? No one in the Committee knows what the fuck he is taking to the President?
WHAT IN THE FLYING FUCK
His look was somewhere between disillusion and fear of life. But that was the first time I ever saw him. Maybe that's just his general demeanor to seem worthy of either trust or compassion?If you go back and watch that committee hearing with Comey, Nunes looks pretty nervous.

That's not what the person I was responding to initially was getting at, although he seems to be suggesting it was now. He clearly was referring to Nunes' ability to know what the communications were (which is why he emphasized that word), particularly in light of the post he was responding to.
It's pretty much the only spin they have considering the investigation was announced publicly. Make the investigation look partisan or biased by Obama.

I don't agree at all. I'll let them speak for themselves but this doesn't align with that interpretation:
Wrong person.
What? That's the post you responded to.
Not initially.
Getting the sense from committee members on both sides of the aisle that this Nunes presser caught everyone by surprise.

Beginning of detailed thread by Eric Garland putting some of the pieces together on Nunes. Makes the cases he may be compromised and should recuse himself.
Interesting times.
You're not making any sense. I can't find anyone anywhere suggesting Nunes didn't have clearance, and the post I initially responded to was you addressing someone who was clearly referring to Nunes' public disclosure of classified information.
It's possibleCNN is speculating that Nunes may have broken the law with his presser today..
