Nutty Nunes has no cows

Nunespeak:

“We also have concerns that possibly they were monitoring press from different journalists and others,” he continued. “That we don’t know, but, you know, we have people who have given us this information and we’re going to ask these questions to the State Department and hopefully they’ll get the answers before she comes in on Friday.”
Hannity then said three sources have told him there “is evidence that shows government resources were used to monitor communications” of a journalist, The Hill’s John Solomon.
“Well, what I have heard, and I want to be clear. I think there is a difference. What I’ve heard is that there were strange requests, irregular requests to monitor, not just one journalist, but multiple journalists,” Nunes said. “Now perhaps that was okay. Perhaps there was some reason for that, that it can be explained away. But that’s what we know and that’s what we are going to be looking into.”

He will likely sue me.

My point is, yes, the State department monitors journalists, mostly what they print, and partly their sources. It is what State Departments do, and if budget was not allocated for that, then they mis manage.   The worst blunder is a diplomat that speaks without first knowing the latest news.
