Swalwell on Nunes: This is what a cover-up to a crime looks like
Source: Politico
House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes’ announcement last week that officials from the transition team of President Donald Trump had been inadvertently surveilled by the U.S. intelligence community came at the behest of the White House, Rep. Eric Swalwell said Tuesday morning.
Nunes (R-Calif.) confirmed Monday that he had traveled to the White House to meet with his still-unnamed source on the day before he made his announcement but denied that the public disclosure was coordinated in any way with Trump administration officials. The White House, Nunes said in a CNN interview, simply served as a secure location for reviewing classified information and “I’m quite sure that I think people in the West Wing had no idea that I was there.”
But Swalwell (D-Calif.), also a member of the House Intelligence Committee, disputed the chairman’s argument Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “It’s not an internet cafe. You can’t just walk in and receive classified information,” Swalwell said of the White House, adding that when a member of Congress visits, “everyone in the building knows that you’re there in the building.”
“This is done because the White House wanted it to be done,” the California Democrat said. “And this is what a cover-up to a crime looks like. We are watching it play out right now.”

The young ones are so impressive while Republicans have Gowdy, clueless Nunes,Issa and Gohmart.
.. as the fall-guy for the White House higher ups.
Either Trump, Bannon, or somebody else has decided to throw Nunes under the bus.
Nunes is definitely in on it, and it seems he knows more than he's saying. So this could get interesting.
Maybe he'll be the one to sing like a canary? It sure seems like he's not very smart.
Just sayin'
