Nunes said last week that "at this point we don't have any evidence" to support the president's tweeted claim that "Obama had [his] 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory," but he promised to investigate.
"We still want the Justice Department to respond to our letter," the committee's top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff of California, said at Wednesday's press conference. "We've given them until March 20, we're both willing to use compulsory process if that's necessary, though neither of us, I think, believe that will be necessary."
It's kind of resistant to the facts to jump to that conclusion before having an investigation and looking at the evidence.
FACT: The Obama administration requested a surveillance warrant from a FISA secret court months before the election, and was turned down. FACT: They revised the warrant and requested again from the FISA court, and were granted a warrant just 3 weeks before the election. Does it make sense that they requested the surveilance warrant and then DIDN'T use it? NO. They obviously did, and I would have to hear a lot of explanation to even possibly believe they didn't use it. I'd also like to hear a good explanation of why surveillance was requested by the Obama team from the FISA court in the first place. TWICE!
