CONFLICT OF INTEREST/INTELLIGENCE/OBAMA/RUSSIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WIRETAPPING: “House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes has reportedly apologized to committee members, one day after he went to the president and press, saying the Trump transition team may have been surveilled during former President Barack Obama’s administration…
‘Details about the U.S. persons involved in the incoming administration with little or no apparent foreign intelligence value were widely disseminated in intelligence community reports,’ Nunes told reporters on Wednesday [3-22-17] after his 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. meeting with President Trump. ‘I want to be clear – none of this surveillance was related to Russia or the investigation of Russian activities or of the Trump team.’
Nunes sat on the Trump transition team’s executive committee, and his going directly to the White House with information that has yet to be disclosed to the committee was criticized by many on Wednesday, including Republican leaders.
Sen. John McCain spoke out on Nunes’ actions, calling the chairman’s proceedings, ‘very disturbing.’ “
