And why is he still resisting to do so. <br /><br />Anyway, here is what others who have seen the intellegience have to say:<br /><br />Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) says he has now seen the same intelligence that Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) was given last week on the grounds of the White House ― which Nunes then presented to the White House — and Schiff called for the information to be turned over to the congressional intelligence committees.<br /><br />Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, declined to reveal any details of the information. But it wasn’t so overwhelming or sensitive that it should change the rules of procedure, he indicated. Schiff called for it to be given to the House and Senate intelligence committees to evaluate. He said he doesn’t understand why the information was provided only to Nunes, the chairman of the House committee.<br /><br />Nunes claimed the documents showed that Donald Trump and others may have been incidentally named in surveillance by U.S. intelligence agencies that were engaged in other investigations. The information appeared to confirm a link to intelligence monitoring but apparently fell short of confirming Trump’s claim that his phones at Trump Tower in Manhattan were “wiretapped” by President Barack Obama toward the end of the 2016 campaign. <br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/schiff-nunes-intelligence-committees_us_58df11a0e4b0c777f787a8f1?9ql36litn6j4np14i&Progressivenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-68228048102588479102017-03-31T17:55:52.936+03:002017-03-31T17:55:52.936+03:00For a different view, see https://www.wsj.com/arti...For a different view, see https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-devin-nunes-knows-1490914396<br />To sum up, Team Obama was spying broadly on the incoming administration. Mr. Schiff’s howls about Mr. Nunes’s methods are bluster; the Republican was doing his job, and well…Meantime, few things match the ludicrous furor over Mr. Nunes’s source-meeting place, or his visit to brief Mr. Trump. Congress members must view most classified material on executive-branch grounds, since that’s the only way to access it physically. Having discovered the former administration’s surveillance of Trump officials, Mr. Nunes had a duty to let the White House know. (Imagine if he’d sat on it.) He could hardly let Democrats know first, since their only interest these days is in leaking and twisting stories. And the reason he held press briefings before and after his meeting with Mr. Trump was to be transparent about his purpose… He might voice some concern that a prior White House was monitoring its political opponents. He might ask whether Obama officials had been “reverse monitoring”—tracking foreign officials solely so they could spy on the Trump team.Gerald Aranoffhttp://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=7Y27bY0AAAAJ&sortby=pubdate&view_op=list_works&pagesize=100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-75799839365084429072017-03-31T14:17:15.401+03:002017-03-31T14:17:15.401+03:00It's no secret in Washington that that there a...It's no secret in Washington that that there are no secrets in Washington. This is classic chicken and egg. Did Mr. Obama investigate non-citizens and inadvertently spied on citizens, or did he spy on non-citizens as a backdoor to investigate citizens. Hopefully the declassified version of Mr. Nunes's final report will clarify this.Joseph Orlowhttp://www.journalinginamerica.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
