Head of House Ethics Panel Finds Evidence Of Abuse In US Government Surveillance
How can there be no FBI investigation of leaks with all the leaks there have been? That in and of itself shows bias.
Quote:House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told Fox News on Friday that his investigators have already uncovered evidence of “abuse” in the U.S. government’s surveillance practices.
“I believe there’s evidence that abuses have occurred,” Nunes said in his first interview since the House Ethics Committee dismissed allegations he had wrongly released classified information as part of the panel’s Russia investigation.
“We have had an ongoing investigation into DOJ [Department of Justice] and FBI since mid-summer for both FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court] abuse and other matters that we can’t get into too much. But it is very concerning.”
Nunes pointed to the leaked conversation of former national security adviser, Gen. Mike Flynn with the Russian ambassador. The congressman said he is unaware of any leak investigation by the FBI or Justice Department.

Of course not, they were hoping the leaks would be damaging to Trump, and besides, why would they want to ensnare donks? We are talking about the DOJ and the FBI here.

Nunes is back, cleared of all wrongdoing, and ready to kick some ass.

CNN has said nothing. Too busy manufacturing fake news. Is a "news network" driven more by agenda than events actually a "news" network?

No, they aren't far from National Enquirer land. For an entity that relies on people choosing to tune in, at least 50% of possible viewers now assume they are lying/distorting about whatever they say......doesn't seem like a winning model.

Please, don't tarnish the name of the National Enquirer by comparing them to that bottom-feeder CNN.
At least the NE got the John Edwards story right.

Uh, don't stop there. They nailed the story about aliens visiting the earth too. This guy's mother obviously banged a Martian.

If a son of mine looked like that I'd disown him and gone back to Mars. Sheesh, he looks like an ugly Shrek, and that's saying a lot.
