Shoot - just on CNN...Nunes says 'no other evidence picked up via russian calls other than Flynn'...

[jmg257]

'Any evidence incidental collection may have picked up Trump communications at all?'

"Other than General Flynn, we don't."

No Obama surveillance, but SO much for hard evidence of collusion via tapped Russian souces.

1. Nunes is a tool. I will wait for someone more credible. n/t

[FreepFryer]

2. Nunes also famously said there was "no evidence of anything" after the Flynn resignation

He's been a minimizer and parsing dissuader for a while now.

3. Ah - good point - thanks!

4. I'll wait for the DEM chair thank you -

What a trumphumper....

5. Careful wording perhaps?

Seems unlikely Flynn would be the only American that Russians were caught speaking with. It also seems likely Flynn and his contacts would not have kept any transferred information just to themselves.

6. Agreed - been figuring that, now we know without warrants, these russian calls were the/a big source

of whatever intelligence has been gathered.

7. This doesn't rule out picking up communications between the Alfa Bank server

and "other US persons."

8. You mean computer-based communications? Bank transactions have been mentioned as

being part of the investigation too. Hmmm...

"Neither Mr Trump nor his associates are named in the Fisa order, which would only cover foreign citizens or foreign entities - in this case the Russian banks. But ultimately, the investigation is looking for transfers of money from Russia to the United States, each one, if proved, a felony offence.

A lawyer- outside the Department of Justice but familiar with the case - told me that three of Mr Trump's associates were the subject of the inquiry. "But it's clear this is about Trump," he said.

But of course there were no warrants issued, so...

9. Nunes is a tool of Dump and Pootie.

Fuck him.

[monmouth4]

10. I don't believe him, not a word...n/t

[jmg257]

12. Yep - been getting a lot of that! Hopefully someone else will say otherwise about real evidence!
