Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) Chair of the House Intelligence Committee has announced that he will investigate President Trump’s claim that former President Obama wiretapped him.

Here is the statement from Chairman Nunes:

You may remember that Chairman Nunes is the same member of Congress who threatened reporters with a congressional investigation if they asked Russia and Trump. Nunes has also claimed without a shred of evidence that there is nothing to the Trump/Russia scandal.

Devin Nunes is one of the biggest Trump defenders and enablers in Congress, so of course, he is going to try to distract from the real issue of the Trump campaign’s possible collusion with Russia by sending his committee off on a wild goose chase to find proof that Obama wiretapped Trump.

While many Republicans in both the House and Senate are telling the White House that they are on their own on Trump’s wiretap allegation, the rats who are trying to use their power to keep the Trump ship from sinking are starting to reveal themselves to the American people.

What is interesting is that even among Trump Congressional defenders, no one as of yet has echoed his call for a separate investigation into whether or not Obama wiretapped him. Trump appears to be on his own on this one, but people like Rep. Nunes are trying to use the bogus wiretap claim to muddy the waters on the real issue of potential Trump collusion with Russia.

The Trump presidency is taking on water, and it is going to take more than a few rats with buckets to keep it from going under.
