Nunes Backs Down From Assertion Trump Was Monitored

by Ken Dilanian and Ali Vitali

The chairman of the House intelligence committee has backed down from his dramatic assertion that Donald Trump and his aides were "monitored," by U.S. spies a claim the Republicans have cited this week in emails to loyalists.

Rep. Devin Nunes told reporters Friday he can't be sure whether conversations among Trump or his aides were captured in the surveillance that has become a source of controversy since Nunes made it public in two news conferences this week.

.....................

Nunes continued to refuse to say how he had learned about the surveillance, including whether his source was in the White House.

Put slander out there, wait until the base absorbs it completely, and then issue a quiet retraction. The base will parrot the allegation for years.

Nunes is just pawn and he is to stupid to get out of his own way. From what we have learned about Trump in the last three months is,the Guy isn't the brightest bulb on the tree number one. Number two is Donald Trump in in this for the title of Mr.President which will follow him the rest of his days and he knows that,and next is the Profit he is generating for his Empire.

Trump will use these stooges in Congress to enhance his Empire and he could care less about anyone but himself.

Nunes will be forced to give up his seat as well as others when the dust settles.

The whole production was fabricated by him and Trump.

Trump just can't let go of trying to stick it to the black man who made him look bad.
