It looks like President Trump was right
Well, cue the furious spinning of the MSM and a big score for President Trump and everyone else who wants IC abuse exposed. Rep. Devin Nunes dropped a bombshell this afternoon that Trump’s team, and possibly President Trump himself, was spied on after the 2016 election. Here’s a run down and various takes from people worth hearing on the subject.

Right or wrong, if a spy agency — via any method — intercepts, copies, or otherwise reviews your communications, they have spied on you. https://t.co/HeSzmJ66Xr

Lulz. Schiff says the people in the intercepts weren't actually unmasked. Nunes just told him he "could figure out" who they were.
