Intel Chairman Devin Nunes: President-Elect Trump Was Under Surveillance By Obama Intel Community…

Posted on March 22, 2017 by sundance


The House Intelligence Committee Chairman, Devin Nunes, held a brief press conference (video also included below) at approximately 1:00pm EDT and stated he has been provided intelligence reports brought to him by unnamed sources include ‘significant information’ about President-Elect Trump and his transition team.



<font color="#000000"><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextS

1.) …”On numerous occasions the [Obama] intelligence community incidentally collected information about U.S. citizens involved in the Trump transition.”

2.) “Details about U.S. persons associated with the incoming administration; details with little or no apparent foreign intelligence value were widely disseminated in intelligence community reporting.”

3.) “Third, I have confirmed that additional names of Trump transition members were unmasked.”

4.) “Fourth and finally, I want to be clear; none of this surveillance was related to Russia, or the investigation of Russian activities, or of the Trump team.

“The House Intelligence Committee will thoroughly investigate surveillance and its subsequent dissemination, to determine a few things here that I want to read off:”

• “Who was aware of it?”
• “Why it was not disclosed to congress?”
• “Who requested and authorized the additional unmasking?”
• “Whether anyone directed the intelligence community to focus on Trump associates?”
• “And whether any laws, regulations or procedures were violated?”

“I have asked the Directors of the FBI, NSA and CIA to expeditiously comply with my March 15th letter -that you all received a couple of weeks ago- and to provide a full account of these surveillance activities.”

Chairman Nunes said he has briefed House Speaker Paul Ryan earlier today and stated he will soon brief the White House. ‘It’s all classified information,’ he said, and ‘has nothing to do with any criminal investigation. This is normal incidental collection, at least from what I was able to read.’


Nunes told reporters he was bothered by ‘why people would need to know that about President-Elect Trump or his transition team.’ But he declined to declare that the CIA, FBI or NSA was ‘spying’ on Trump.


“It all depends on one’s definition of spying.” … “I’m not going to get into legal definitions here, but clearly I have a concern.” VIDEO BELOW:

Serious claim: FBI's Comey 'falsely' denied surveillance


Posted By Bob Unruh On 03/22/2017



The lawyer who founded Judicial Watch and later Freedom Watch, Larry Klayman, has sent a letter to Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, asking him to look at a whistleblower’s evidence of “systematic illegal surveillance on prominent Americans, again including the chief justice of the Supreme Court, other justices, 156 judges, prominent businessmen such as Donald Trump, and even yours truly.”

That spying was done, Klayman’s letter contends, by the FBI.

It’s become a major issue following President Trump’s assertion that he and Trump Tower were spied upon by the federal government, and the subsequent denials by intelligence and law-enforcement officials, including FBI Director James Comey, who famously cleared Hillary Clinton on accusations she mishandled classified information as U.S. secretary of state.

Klayman has been working with Dennis Montgomery, a former NSA and Central Intelligence Agency contractor who “left the NSA and CIA with 47 hard drives and over 600 million pages of information, much of which is classified.”

Montgomery then “sought to come forward legally as a whistleblower to appropriate government entities, including congressional intelligence committees, to expose that the spy agencies were engaged for years in systematic illegal surveillance on prominent Americans.”

Explained Klayman: “Working side by side with former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who lied in congressional testimony, and former Obama Director of the CIA, the equally ethically challenged John Brennan, Montgomery witnessed ‘up close and personal’ this “Orwellian Big Brother’ intrusion on privacy, likely for potential coercion, blackmail or other nefarious purposes.”

Trust the government? Maybe you shouldn’t. Read the details in “Lies the Government Told You,” by Judge Andrew Napolitano.

But he said the testimony has been essentially ignored.

Now, however, with the issue pending before Congress, there even are media reports that appear to substantiate the general claims that the government has been spying. The New York Times in January referenced wiretapping at Trump Tower, and just this week ABC News documented that the FBI monitored Trump Tower.

The report claimed, “But it was not placed at the behest of Barack Obama, and the target was not the Trump campaign of 2016. For two years ending in 2013, the FBI had a court-approved warrant to eavesdrop on a sophisticated Russian organized crime money-laundering network that operated out of unit 63A in Trump Tower in New York.”

It resulted in the indictments of more than 30 people, ABC said.

Explained the report: “The FBI investigation did not implicate Trump. But Trump Tower was under close watch. Some of the Russian mafia figures worked out of unit 63A in the iconic skyscraper – just three floors below Trump’s penthouse residence – running what prosecutors called an ‘international money-laundering, sports gambling and extortion ring.'”

Klayman, a Washington watchdog who repeatedly took on the Clinton political machine to investigate suspicion of wrongdoing, explained in his letter to Nunes, which was copied to other members of Congress, that he previously won a judgment from U.S. District Judge Richard Leon preliminarily halting the “illegal, warrantless, and massive surveillance of U.S. citiznes and lawful residents” in 2015.

As part of Nunes’ hearing on claims of government spying, he invited “anyone who has information about these topics to come forward.”

Klayman said that is exactly what Montgomery has done.

“There is a myriad of evidence, direct and circumstantial, of the illegal and unconstitutional surveillance disclosed to the FBI by Montgomery,” said Klayman, describing how his client made an on-camera interview with the agency about the misdeeds some time ago.

He said Montgomery “holds much of the roadmap to ‘draining the swamp’ of this corruption of our democracy.”

Montgomery, Klayman said, has information “that the spy agencies were engaged for years in systematic illegal surveillance on prominent Americans.”

During Montgomery’s interview with FBI General Counsel James Baker, under grants of immunity, he “laid out how persons like then businessman Donald Trump were illegally spied upon by Clapper, Brennan, and the spy agencies of the Obama administration.”

“He even claimed that these spy agencies had manipulated voting in Florida during the 2008 presidential election, where illegal tampering resulted in helping Obama to win the White House.”

But that interview, “conducted and videotaped by Special FBI Agents Walter Giardina and William Barnett, occurred almost two years ago, and nothing that I know of has happened since.”

Klayman wrote that it appears to have been “buried” by Comey, possibly because “the FBI itself collaborates with the spy agencies to conduct illegal surveillance.”

He said he previously visited with a staff lawyer, Allen Souza, to inform Nunes of questions that needed to be put to Comey while under oath.

“My expressed purpose: to have Chairman Nunes of the House Intelligence Committee ask Comey, under oath, why he and his FBI have seemingly not moved forward with the Montgomery investigation while, on the other hand, the FBI director recently claimed publicly, I believe falsely, that there is ‘no evidence’ of surveillance on President Trump and those around him by the Obama administration.

“Indeed, there is,” he wrote.

He tells members of Congress that Comey needs to be grilled during a subsequent hearing, now set for March 28. He asks Nunes to respond by March 24 to let “the American people, and Mr. Montgomery … know where you and the other members of your committee stand.”

“Do you intend to get at and investigate the full truth, or as has regrettably been the case for many years in government, sweep the truth under the carpet?”

Other recipients of the letter were Reps. Adam Schiff, Mike Conaway, Peter King, Frank LoBiondo, Tom Rooney, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Michael Turner, Brad Wenstrup, Chris Stewart, Rich Crawford, Trey Gowdy, Elise Stefanik, Will Hurd, Jim Hines, Terri Sewell, Andre Carson, Jackie Speier, Mike Quigley, Eric Swalwell, Joaquin Castro and Denny Heck.

Yeah, Comey lied like a dog under oath before the Intelligence Committee. That's perjury by the Director of the FBI. Comey met his match with Donald Trump. Trump ran a tweet sting operation on Comey, even put his "wiretapping" in quotes to set the trap and Comey fell head-first into it.

Comey is history.

I watched Nunez comments on Fox News today. The information he provided was vague. I'll await further word that actually identifies proof before making a judgement.

Yeah, that's because he's not supposed to reveal too much about it, because it's not supposed to exist in the first place. I think we need to dismantle and shut down the NSA. I've thought so ever since Snowden revealed what they were up to and doing. They haven't stopped, they're still doing it, they did it on the Trump people for political reasons. This is KGB type stuff and we don't need this to protect ourselves from terrorism. Not at all, not on any level.

SHUT DOWN THE NSA. BRING SNOWDEN HOME AND GIVE HIM A MEDAL.

From what I understand he is part of the investigation team. That is why he is being vague. A Democrat, who is also on the same team, had different spin on the situation. I certainly don't trust anything coming from the Democrats, but like I said, I'll wait and see how the story evolves.

Whistleblower Montgomery Allegedly Has Goods on NSA, CIA Snooping



Thursday, February 16, 2017 11:18 AM




By: Larry Klayman


The illegal leaks and surveillance by our intelligence agencies that have destroyed the career of General Mike Flynn, President Donald Trump’s now former national security adviser, and now threatens the Trump presidency, is not new.



As testified to by whistleblower, and my client, Dennis Montgomery, who was an NSA/CIA contractor, this criminal violation of the Constitution and various related statutory laws has been ongoing. In this regard, Montgomery has, with immunity, come forward to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and has produced 47 hard drives with over 600 million pages of information allegedly showing that the chief justice of the Supreme Court, other SCOTUS justices, over 156 judges, former businessman Donald Trump, other prominent business leaders, and even yours truly have had their confidential information illegally accessed in obvious attempts to coerce, blackmail, and destroy anyone who might be a threat to the establishment.



Yesterday, I gave an interview to Fox Business Channel about this threat (see video above). -Go to link-



In the last months, I have held meetings with the House Judiciary Committee, asking its Chairman Bob Goodlatte to inquire of FBI Director Comey about this ongoing investigation concerning whistleblower Dennis Montgomery. I will also call upon the new Attorney General Jeff Sessions to oversee this serious matter.



It is important for the American people to rise up and demand an honest and transparent FBI investigation, as much of the information that Montgomery provided is classified and we must thus rely on the agency to conduct a thorough review. I have not and cannot see what Montgomery produced to the FBI, so the future of the republic is now in its hands.
In short, it's time for the FBI to do its job to protect the American people from this tyranny. The agency has been sitting on this investigation for over 2 years, as the intelligence agencies continue to commit criminal actions, placing the country in mortal danger and destroying lives. They have now set their sites, in league with Obama and Clinton loyalists and its leftist clones in the mainstream media — like The New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN — on destroying the nation’s last chance to "Make America Great Again": President Trump and his administration.
