Calling the collection "incidental" and then saying that "this could partially back up Trump's allegations that Obama 'wiretapped' him" are at odds with each other.

Nunes himself confirmed that the surveillance was legal. Good luck though!
At recent hearings congress was told that there was no surveillance and that they were unware of any FISA collections. Nice try.

Comey didn't investigate this thing properly, because he was afraid of hurting Obama/Obama people.
Comey is the worst American I've ever seen.

Sorry to rain on your little parade there.
If an American citizen is on the line and it's not a criminal investigation then the surveillance is supposed to end immediately. That didn't happen. And then the call details were leaked. Also illegal.

Oh, I forgot. The whole world is conspiring against Trump. This includes...

-Access Hollywood
-The Pope
-The Bureau of Labor Statistics
-Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court
-The Arnold
-Comey
-Megyn Kelly (who did not treat him very nicely)
-Nordstrom

This is all going back to Obama and Hillary - you watch. This is the tip of the iceberg because someone lied and someone broke the law unmasking identities.

Except for that time 11 days before the 2016 Presidential election when Trump supporters were proclaiming him to be an American hero.

This is sort of the way the job numbers were phony under Obama but real now, right?

So, in other words, the government listened in to conversations of Trump campaign personnel, and this information was disseminated "widely".

So, this means that a credible source could have told Trump's team that calls were recorded and even given some content to verify. If this is the case, it would make sense that Trump could make such an accusation.

Nunes on March 15th - Devin Nunes confirms it: The evidence of Trump Tower being wiretapped just doesn’t seem to exist
The Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who has been one of the few defenders of Trump's claims, made clear Wednesday that there is zero evidence to suggest Trump Tower was wiretapped.


Nunes on March 22nd - House Intel chairman: Trump's personal communications may have been collected

Nunes said at a news conference he discovered the potential surveillance of Trump himself while reviewing intelligence reports, but said it was not related to Russia.

...
"I'm actually alarmed by it," Nunes said.

...
Nunes said the collection included Trump transition officials and that it happened after the election. He said he could not say whether it meant that Trump was "spied on"


I guess something was found recently. Trump said last week to wait a couple of weeks...

Bet you weren't protesting intelligence being too political when Comey decided to announce Clinton's investigation a week before the election because there was nothing on Weiner's laptop.

Bet you were advising about safe spaces and pendulums swinging both ways.
