Intel panel calls for wiretap evidence by Monday
The Hill could not confirm that an initial draft of the letter to the WH simply stated: "Hey asshole, show us what you got or issue an apology to Obama and then just STFU. You're an embarrassment to the Republic.". LOL!

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and ranking member Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) have asked the White House to offer by Monday any evidence showing Trump Tower was wiretapped.
A congressional aide confirmed to The Hill that Schiff and Nunes made the request in a letter to the White House. The letter was first reported by The Associated Press.
Trump has kept his distance from the press since last weekend, when he accused former President Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower before the November election.
Trump did not provide any evidence of the claim, and a spokesperson for Obama denied that he or any White House official called for the surveillance.
The White House has asked that an investigation of the alleged wiretaps be part of the probe into Russia’s interference in the presidential election.
Nunes has said that the intelligence panel would investigate potential surveillance of political parties as part of its Russia inquiry.
Democrats have slammed Trump for the accusations, with Schiff calling the accusations “outlandish” and destructive.”
