Intelligence official who 'unmasked' Trump associates is 'very high up,' source says
FOX News ^

Posted on 03/31/2017 1:52:35 PM PDT by springwater13

The U.S. intelligence official who “unmasked,” or exposed, the names of multiple private citizens affiliated with the Trump team is someone “very well known, very high up, very senior in the intelligence world,” a source told Fox News on Friday.

Intelligence and House sources with direct knowledge of the disclosure of classified names told Fox News that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., now knows who is responsible -- and that person is not in the FBI.

For a private citizen to be “unmasked,” or named, in an intelligence report is extremely rare. Typically, the American is a suspect in a crime, is in danger or has to be named to explain the context of the report.

“The main issue in this case, is not only the unmasking of these names of private citizens, but the spreading of these names for political purposes that have nothing to do with national security or an investigation into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election,” a congressional source close to the investigation told Fox News.

I DO hope the Trump team will tell us who it was that stopped the airplanes going to give assistance in Benghazi and were told to hold back.....who gave that order.

You can almost hear the theme music from the movie “Jaws” as the Trump Administration slowly spoons out the dirt. People all over D.C. Are puckering.

Yes it would be good to know. Have to imagine that people who know don’t want to say.

When was the last time the media actually named a source. There should be some rule that says no name no story to publish.

I would have guessed McCabe 2nd in command at the FBI. This will be interesting to see who it is.

Awesome. We'll enjoy learning how much pay and benefits he or she lost when (s)he's behind prison bars for the rest of his or her life.

One more thing is that now the dimoKKKRATS are viewing the documents at the White House. I suspect they now know who the leaker is. I bet the leaker gets a heads up from one of them that he is about to be outed.

Sounds like Clapper, Brennan, or Loretta Lynch.

The denial that it is FBI makes me put Lynch in 1st place.

Come on. Just about everyone knows James Clapper has been behind all this. The media is so willing ti ignore the obvious their motives are suspect.

Clapper and Brennan are prime candidates.
