employees have him listen to some secret something or other that apparently indicates Trump was picked up in incidental surveillance. Nunes then scoots back to consult with Paul Ryan, then heads back to the White House to tell Trump. Trump must have already known this because if he didn't those employees would be gone by now. How does running this bit of information through a dairy farmer make it more legitimate? And "incidental" doesn't mean innocent. Someone might be asking how much loot to send to Trump's Cayman Island account this week. It makes no sense to me.
