#1 Comey did confirm in the course of the bruising hearing, however, that the FBI has been investigating since the summer whether Trump's associates coordinated with Russian officials in an effort to sway the 2016 presidential election.

Investigation? Does that involve wiretapping or electronic surveillance?

Comey also said in the hearing that a POTUS cannot unilaterally order a wiretap. However, in looking at another story posted at the Burg today re denaturalization of citizenship for Iyman Faris, I came across a wiki entry that contradicted Comey's assertion. It stated: Faris' new lawyer David B. Smith announced that he was looking into a lawsuit against George W. Bush, who personally authorized the wiretaps. So, WTF?

#4 Nunes said the surveillance appears to have been legal, incidental collection and that it does not appear to have been related to concerns over collusion with Russia.

Did Nunes really say this or is this just Politico injecting their biases?
