Notably, Rep @ericswalwell is the only Dem on House Judiciary who also is on the House Intelligence Committee.
So, on the day Trump tweeted, it appears counsel's office began trying to track down whether the claim could be verified.
On March 21, Nunes disappeared — http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/03/24/devin-nunes-vanished-the-night-before-he-made-trump-surveillance-claims.html … — to go to the White House grounds: http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/27/politics/devin-nunes-white-house-donald-trump/index.html … ...

Here's a March 27 exchange between Spicer and @MajorCBS: Note how careful Spicer's attribution is.pic.twitter.com/bcy5rG2Sbg
Here's the Bloomberg interview between Nunes and @EliLake that Spicer was referencing in that briefing. https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-03-27/devin-nunes-explains-his-white-house-visit …pic.twitter.com/bSZJXvZuNY
Today — since the NYT report — @EliLake has been notably silent on Twitter this afternoon. Will be interesting to see what he says now.
