That's not what he said. He said the House Intel Committee has no credibility because of Nunez and Schiff.

Please don't spread Mother Jones talking points. Actually read or watch what he said.

Trump is an idiot. Let's get that out front. No denying it. But I give him leeway in his comment, as he clarified it wasn't him, but his aides who were monitored. He did say Obama wiretapped him, which he clearly didn't, but all the agencies report to him.

So while it's a stupid thing to say, the intent behind it, the federal government under Obama, listened in on calls from his team. 

This appears to be true and no one they were listening to has been proven to have done anything wrong. 

I have no issue with the NSA monitoring foreign officials. That's their job. But when a US citizen is on the line, the law requires them to stop recording unless they have a warrant. What Nunez stated, was that these tapes were kept and passed around the agencies for shits and grins.

If these guys did something wrong or they had a Fisa warrant to listen in, go for it.  But if they had a fisa warrant on any of Trump's people, that's something the public should know.

So far no one has said Trump or anyone on his team coordinated anything with Russia. So he's vindicated until someone in a position of knowledge comes forward saying they have actual evidence otherwise.

So yes, it looks like Trump's team was "wiretapped", but as Nunez said, it was routine business with no malice or ill will. Trump's people talked legally with foreign contacts, and because we bug everyone to include Merkel, they got recorded. And agents passed around the tapes giggling at the idiots. 

I just think the term "investigation" is being implied to have a bigger meaning than it actually has.

This is a great point.  Whether or not Manafort did anything illegal (I assume he did, but admittedly don't know enough about money laundering laws to say definitively) is why "Trump is under investigation."  Comey said the team has been under investigation since July, a month before Trump fired Manafort.  I don't think it unreasonable to assume the FBI was a few steps ahead of Manafort in realizing he was fucked.  So if Manafort, whom worked for/with Russian interests years before being brought on to "manage" Trump's campaign, did something shady, the FBI would be derelict in its duties to not verify that no one else connected to Trump was doing anything illegal. 

We know Manafort was a sleaze, so this isn't anything new.  But to claim that his behavior that occurred well before working for Trump somehow shows Trump collaborated with Putin, is a huge jump of which there is no evidence to support.  It certainly shows Trump had a very poor vetting of some of his confidants (Flynn is another great example), and criticizing Trump for whom he associates with is fair game.  Just as it was fair game to criticize Obama for whom he associated with, just as it was fair to criticize Clinton from whom she associated with.

How can the FBI have an opinion one way or the other without investigating?  Your cognitive dissonance on this is absurd and entirely partisan.

How many times does Comey have to say to not take his "no comment" and indication of wrong doing, before you get it?

You can join SLC and claim Bush was behind 9/11, going full retard. Or you can actually find a single credible person saying there's evidence to suspect Trump colluded with Russia.

I'm not going to keep arguing with your fan fiction. It's a shame you guys drove off half the posters on this forum with your rabid circle jerks because your preferred candidate lost.
