The chairman of the House intelligence committee has backed down from his dramatic assertion that Donald Trump and his aides were "monitored," by U.S. spies — a claim the Republicans have cited this week in fundraising emails.

Rep. Devin Nunes told reporters Friday he can't be sure whether conversations among Trump or his aides were captured in the surveillance that has become a source of controversy since Nunes made it public in two news conferences this week.

"He said he'll have to get all the documents he requested from the (intelligence community) about this before he knows for sure," his spokesman, Jack Langer, said earlier.

Such a chickenshit tactic. I'm quickly getting to the point of hoping for the worst case scenario. I'd love to see the whole of the 3 branches get meteor'd.

This particular rant-driven drama tweet from Biff pretty much ran its course anyway. It's about time for Bannon to give Biff another Breitbart lie to tweet.

Congress has a real credibility problem. I saw a Rep from Tennessee on Morning Joe this morning trying to claim healthcare insurance would be cheaper under the GOP's current plan. They can lie without batting an eye.

I heard they (GOP) were going to strip out 10 essential health benefits. If so, it would be cheaper but would be toothless.
