House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told Fox News on Friday that his investigators have already uncovered evidence of "abuse" in the U.S. government's surveillance practices.

“I believe there's evidence that abuses have occurred," Nunes said in his first interview since the House Ethics Committee dismissed allegations he had wrongly released classified information as part of the panel’s Russia investigation.

"We have had an ongoing investigation into DOJ [Department of Justice] and FBI since mid-summer for both FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court] abuse and other matters that we can't get into too much. But it is very concerning."

Nunes pointed to the leaked conversation of former national security adviser, Gen. Mike Flynn with the Russian ambassador. The congressman said he is unaware of any leak investigation by the FBI or Justice Department.

In the short term, Nunes said, the Justice Department will be providing Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and Strzok, and possibly the main handler who former British spy Christopher Steele researched the dossier for Fusion GPS

Nunes said reports he had recused himself from the Russia probe were deliberately misleading, and he remained chairman, directing his Republicans colleagues on the investigation.

Head of House ethics panel finds evidence of abuse in US government surveillance

(CNN)NAACP President Derrick Johnson will not attend the opening of the Mississippi Civil Rights museum Saturday, citing President Donald Trump's presence at the event as the reason for his absence.

Johnson, who heads the group which seeks to eliminate race-based discrimination, insisted that his choice not to attend was not a boycott because he and other black leaders still plan to "celebrate the veterans of the civil rights movement" and honor the museum's purpose.

Still, Johnson told CNN's Kate Bolduan, "I will not be there tomorrow," calling Trump's planned appearance at the museum opening a photo opportunity.

"His attendance is a distraction from us having the opportunity to honor true Americans who sacrificed so much to ensure that democracy works," Johnson said. "It is unfortunate, in fact it is an affront, to those individuals who fought for voting rights to ensure that people had quality education and access to health care will be celebrated. Those are principles this President does not support."

Two black congressmen announced Thursday they would not attend because of Trump's planned presence.

No surprise. Trump is an incredibly divisive president who supports policies which hurt African-Americans.

Uh, what policies would those be?

/e The only racist type thing I see is that 3 black folk won't attend the "veterans of the civil rights movement", just because Trump attended.

Pull head out of ass and turn it either direction.

This is a white supremacy president elected by identity politics. His while platform was white identity politics.

This is that "accuse the other guys of doing what you're doing and they're opposed to" thing isn't it
Hillary aggressively campaigned on identity politics and smearing Trump, Trump aggressively campaigned on the economy, immigration, healthcare, economy, taxes, economy, economy, economy

Lol you're credibility is garbage at this point. Repeal Obamacare build a wall stop immigrations all white identity stuff. He hasn't done anything for the economy and now he is shilling for the wealthy with tax cuts for them only.

Just no, you're full of shit. You're also basically Artic Shadow now so you are perfectly willing to spin the raciat stuff into more benign stuff all while knowing ehat you are doing are not doing it from some misplaced sense of optimism like the rest of the Trump tards.

His campaign was all white identity politics.

Muslim ban, judge can't be fair because he's Mexican, law and order talking point, they're sending their rapists, etc etc. There's an endless list of quotes from Trump which appealed to the racist underbelly of the Republican party.

The important thing is that he advocates for policies which hurt minorities though. Less healthcare for poor people, tax reform favoring the wealthy, policies which perpetuate and increase mass incarceration.
