The Noose Gets Tighter For Trump

Adam Schiff went on MTP Daily and dropped another bombshell on the heels of Devin Nunes' admission today that Trump transition and administration officials' communications, possibly including Trump himself, had been picked up in normal foreign intelligence surveillance. Specifically, Schiff said, "There is more than circumstantial evidence...There is evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation."

And now CNN is reporting that "The FBI has information that indicates associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign...The FBI cannot yet prove that collusion took place, but the information suggesting collusion is now a large focus of the investigation". In addition, the information cited by the sources for this report say it does not come from the "Russian dossier" but other, multiple sources.

It also looks like Nunes' accusations this afternoon were solely intended to deflect from this story when it came out. I am not a lawyer, but it certainly seems that Nunes is getting close to obstruction of justice by briefing the President on the classified information he has. And, as John Dean, says repeatedly in his MSNBC appearances, the White House's every action these days screams "cover-up".
