I like the end bit
It's not clear what Nunes was specifically referring to. It was already widely known that Michael Flynn, at least, was incidentally monitored in his communications during the transition with the Russian ambassador.

I like the words 'incidentally' and 'legally.'

Meaning that it happened at times because the subject of an investigation happened to be with the transition team.

Of course the key word is 'believes,' based on 'sources "who thought that we should know it.'

Then there is the fact that he is going to talk to FBI Director James Comey to confirm the information...

Which of course is the basis of information the Trump team refers to as FAKE NEWS.

Uh, bosco, you cannot have it both ways.

If unnamed sources are good for the GOP, then the same holds true for the news media.

Double standard.

This is a far cry from the President's claim that it was done at the behest of the former president AND by British Intelligence in an effort to keep US agencies out of it.

Nunes: FBI Is Not Cooperating with Our Investigation into Trump Camp Surveillance

‘So far the FBI has not told us whether or not they’re going to respond to our March 15th letter which is now a couple weeks old’

he FBI is not cooperating with the House of Representatives' investigation into the NSA's surveillance of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, the chairman of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), said today.

During an explosive press conference outside the White House, Nunes told reporters that communications from the Trump team were picked up and disseminated within the government during the 2016 campaign. Nunes said sources within the intelligence community presented him with the information. He spoke to the press after briefing the administration.

"We don’t actually know yet officially what happened to General Flynn," Nunes said of how communications from Gen. Flynn's calls were leaked to the press. "We just know that his name leaked out but we don't know how it was picked up yet. That was one of the things that we asked for in the March 15th letter, was for the NSA, CIA, and FBI to get us all the unmasking that was done."

"And I'll tell you, NSA is being cooperative," Nunes continued, "but so far the FBI has not told us whether or not they’re going to respond to our March 15th letter, which is now a couple of weeks old.”

Nunes also reported that as of now, he "cannot rule out" President Obama ordering the surveillance.

And contrary to earlier media reports, Nunes clarified that the surveillance was not related to the FBI's investigation into possible collusion with Russia. This surveillance, he emphasized to reporters, does not "have anything to do with Russia."

Nunes is a highly placed named source, and the surveillance occurred, exactly as President Trump said

Everything else is desperate partisan spin / propaganda

No, Nunes is a congressman who was told this by someone else who thought they should know.

From your story:

quote:

WASHINGTON, DC — Rep. Devin Nunes told reporters Wednesday afternoon that he believes the intelligence community legally surveilled President Trump's transition team between the election and the inauguration. He said the White House was not aware of this information and that he was told by sources "who thought that we should know it."

At least read the story before you start blabbing.

He also said he was going to talk to Comey about the information.

I know what the fuck he chairs your freaking moron.

That does not mean that he knows every god damn thing going on, it still leaves the point "believes" and "sources" with no absolute proof you idiot.

do you have a reading comprehension problem?

be·lieve
bəˈlēv/
verb
3rd person present: believes

1.
accept (something) as true; feel sure of the truth of.
2.
hold (something) as an opinion; think or suppose.

In other words you moron, just because he 'believes' it does not make it fact or truth.

Kind of like when you believed in Santa Claus.

And since he has made it clear he wants to discuss it with the head of the FBI, kind of implies he wants confirmation.

From TPM regarding what Nunes is doing wrong:)

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/schiff-nunes-acting-surrogate-white-house-trumpr-russia-probe

House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) torpedoed the credibility of his investigation into Russia’s interference of the election by sharing related details with President Donald Trump, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) charged Wednesday.

In a steely press briefing, Schiff said that Nunes acted like a “surrogate of the White House” by going to Trump and the press with reports that the intelligence community “incidentally collected” information about President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team in the months after the election.

Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said it was a “deep, deep problem” that these reports were not first disclosed to him and the other committee members and that “there is no way we can conduct this investigation” if Nunes continued to relay information to the Trump administration.

Nunes’ unusual actions make “the most profound case for the formation of an independent commission” into Russia’s role in the election and ties between Trump staffers and Russian officials, Schiff said.

All international communications, Trump's and everyone else's, are routinely captured and their content surveilled.

They never found anything really legit to attack him over,so they had to pay shills to make it up.

Here is the funniest thing however. Trump spent around 25 million to win,and the constant negative media attention gave him about 75 million in free advertising. It also massively pissed off his based and assured absolute support at the polls.

Hillary spent 1.5 BILLION dollars to offer NOTHING of substance but squeal about Trump. More free advertising. Then the bitch loses. Denser than lead baby.

Happened nothing like Comrade lyingfuk1 Trump said you lyingfuk2 boscox

Here is what we know for know

Post-election communications of Donald Trump's team were swept up in an "incidental collection" by intelligence agencies, a Republican lawmaker says.

House intelligence committee chairman Devin Nunes guffaws said individuals were named in "widely disseminated" reports, which he said was "totally inappropriate".

Mr Nunes said this did not back Mr Trump's claim Barack Obama had ordered Trump Tower wiretapped before the poll.

But when asked if he felt vindicated, Mr Trump said: "I somewhat do."

Mr Nunes also insisted the collected information was not linked to an FBI investigation into alleged links between the Trump team and Russian officials during the election campaign.

A political row followed Mr Nunes' announcement, with the top Democrat on the committee, Adam Schiff, criticising him for not consulting the committee before going public.

"This is not how you conduct an investigation. You don't take information that the committee hasn't seen and present it orally to the press and to the White House before the committee has a chance to vet whether it's even significant," he said.

US intelligence agencies regularly monitor foreign individuals of interest, so if a member of the Trump transition team - or Donald Trump himself - communicated with a person under surveillance, it's likely those interactions would be recorded.

That would constitute "incidental", legal surveillance as described by Devin Nunes in his press conference on Wednesday afternoon. What that means, however, is open to interpretation.

And from your article boscox - which is actually okay as your articles normally go (give them a read someday)

1. Nunes, though, said the information did not include any evidence to support Trump's allegations against Obama. Further, the chairman said that the surveillance was legal and that Trump staffers were “incidentally” swept up by American spy agencies engaged in routine surveillance of foreign officials..

2. guffaws guffaws Apparently discarding another promise — to hunt down and jail anybody responsible for intelligence leaks related to the investigation — he would not disclose who provided the information.

Here's an interesting view.
IF Mr. Trump was surveilled, here is the probability. Tt is a fact that a vast majority of wiretaps by the various alphabet organizations are after someone has shown probable cause and a federal judge has signed off on it.
Therefore, IF Mr. Trump was wiretapped, it was because someone in law enforcement thought (and a judge agreed) that he was involved in something detrimental to the American people,.

He would do well to start saying "They never looked at me at all".
