Whoa. At presser, Nunes just revealed IC collected info about Americans associated w/ the Trump transition team—separate from Russia probe.

Nunes says this information was brought to him by "sources who thought that we should know it."

Nunes says material collected was "significant information" about Trump and the transition team.

In other words, some individuals unrelated to Trump were under surveillance, and the Trump team kept popping up on the radar of the IC. Of course, this is not the story the WH mouthpiece will go with; instead, they will use that as some sort of proof that they were the intended target of surveillance.
Some previous tweets from the same source:
Nunes says material collected was "significant information" about Trump and the transition team.
Nunes: "It has nothing to do with any criminal investigation. This is normal incidental collection" based on what he saw.
Nunes says most of this surveillance apparently happened in "November, December, and January" during transition.
Nunes: "This appears to be all legally collected foreign intelligence under FISA." Says material was "widely disseminated."
Reporter asks if Nunes feels that the IC was spying on Trump/team.
Nunes: "It all depends on one's definition of spying."
