Devin Nunes and Trump are still working together in attempt to manufacture unmasking scandal

"SNIP................


On Wednesday, Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the White House would no longer comment on ongoing investigations into the Trump campaign’s possible collusion with Russian officials, referring all questions to Trump’s outside attorney.

But Thursday morning, Trump was back at it, once again telling his 31 million Twitter followers that the real story is the Obama administration’s “unmasking and surveillance.”

Trump’s tweet comes the morning after House Intelligence Committee Chair Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) issued three subpoenas — one each to the FBI, CIA, and NSA — each referencing “unmasking.” The subpoenas are part of a batch of seven issued Wednesday by the House Intelligence Committee. The other four pertain to possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Fox News reported that Nunes’ subpoenas signal the House Intelligence Committee “is intensifying its investigation into allegations that Obama-era aides improperly demanded the ‘unmasking’ of names of associates of President Trump that had appeared, in coded form, in classified intelligence reports, then leaked the data to news media organizations.”

Oh, by the way, when a republican is talking, there is no chance the truth is being told unless it is a coincidence.

Lots of people follow politicians to post comments on their tweets asap, or just to be informed of the stupid shit they post. Followers on Twitter aren't a count of supporters.
