(snip) -- Four Democrats and Four Republicans (four minority party and four majority party political leaders) for a total of eight. Four from the House and Four from the Senate. –Understand the Gang of Eight Here– The Gang-of-Eight can, if they choose, interact with the intelligence product they oversee with the same level of security clearance as the originating compartment being reviewed.

Only these eight members can interact with the intelligence product in this way. This ensures their ability to conduct oversight. The eight elected officials also hold oversight on all covert intelligence operations and are briefed on all presidential finding memos.

(snip) --

It becomes important to understand the difference between the House Intelligence Committee, the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Gang of Eight.

Two members from the House Intelligence Committee (chair Nunes and minority Schiff), and two members of the Senate Intelligence Committee (chair Burr and vice-chair Warner) are participants. The other four are Speaker of the House (Ryan), minority leader of House (Pelosi), Leader of Senate (McConnell) and Minority leader of Senate (Schumer). The latter four are not part of any other intelligence committee.

______

Seemingly, just one good individual (Nunes) in the bunch.

....... under President Obama’s watch Deputy Asst. Secretaries of Defense had daily access to the PDB. An example of an Obama Deputy Asst. Secretary of Defense, Evelyn Farkas.

With dozens of people having access to President Obama’s PDB, Rice’s unmasking of names within the intelligence product gave dozens of people direct access to unmasked intelligence – including Obama officials who could, likely did, use the PDB for specific and intentional political purposes. This political outcome was essentially confirmed by Evelyn Farkas who was one of the downstream recipients of unmasked intelligence.

____________

.... "dozens of people having access to President Obama’s PDB" ------ not good.

Farkas:

"Because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama] people who left; so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy, um, that the Trump folks – if they found out HOW we knew what we knew about their, the Trump staff, dealing with Russians – that they would try to compromise those sources and methods; meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence."

____________

"the Trump folks – if they found out HOW we knew what we knew about their, the Trump staff...." ---- what a liberal sleazebag.

A little more from the article:

Recently the media have been working frantically, against an entire year of prior support for the Steele Dossier, to distance the origin of the FBI counterintelligence operation from the dossier. The probable motive reveals the bigger underlying story.

When Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes explained his concern in March 2017 -about what he saw from a review of 2016 intelligence gathering, reporting and subsequent unmasking- the issue behind his concern was clouded in mystery. Indeed the larger headlines at the time were about demanding a special prosecutor and driving the Russia conspiracy narrative.

From the article:

In hindsight it appears that President Trump was fully aware when the tide would change. The moment when an empowered group of congressional people, Devin Nunes, Chuck Grassley and Bob Goodlatte, would develop a coordinated plan to defeat the corruption amid a corrupt intelligence apparatus Admiral Rogers had been holding back for the past several years.

What we are seeing now, leading up to the release of a years-worth of Office of Inspector General evidence, is the outcome of a specific plan –WELL OUTLINED HERE– to deal with the deep corruption inside the FBI and DOJ.

___________

Around January 15th it should get very interesting and encouraging to the people in and on the right.

Our President has rescheduled his Fake News Awards until after IG Horrowitz releases his report.

Hmm…

What does one of these things have to do with the other. Or is it just a coincidence.

I agree with you. So I pass this along to you....

My only comment to the level of detail in a post like this is: mind boggling. These Sundance Studies are, in a world where the Media is so false, a Graduate Course. The main stream politicos appear to be intoxicated at their first Fraternity Party, while this Treehouse is cramming for finals in Graduate School. Thank you, Dr. Sundance.

Spot on. We need to find out what information was sent to the Clinton Presidential campaign and how it was used.

If we had an AG who wasn’t either a moron or deep state stooge all of these deputy assistants would be targets of DOJ grand juries. Under investigation and oath surely some of them would flip. Unfortunately Sessions, Mr. super narc, is too busy hassling pot smokers.

Gang of Eight member ----and House Intel Committee member----Democrat Cong Adam Schiff told ABC News Sunday earlier: “Indeed, it would be negligent for us not to investigate the Russian connection......if a foreign government…has something that they can hang over the head of our president that can influence U.S. policy, it is very much in our national security interest to know it.”

===========================================

MEMO TO CONG SCHIFF: You advanced the discredited Russian bunk, as low-level office help....spies working in your Congressional offices.....accessed US govt-issue computers teeming w/ sensitive intel involving the safety and security of Americans.

Cong Schiff, your House Intelligence Committee oversees all or part of the following executive branch departments and agencies:

• Office of the Director of National Intelligence

• Central Intelligence Agency

• Defense Intelligence Agency

• Department of Defense

• Department of Energy

• Department of Homeland Security

• Department of Justice

• Department of State

• Department of Treasury

• Drug Enforcement Administration

• Federal Bureau of Investigation

• National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency

• National Reconnaissance Office

• National Security Agency

• Office of Naval Intelligence

• Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency

• United States Army Intelligence and Security Command

• United States Coast Guard Intelligence

• Marine Corps Intelligence Activity

===============================================================

Democrats noticed nothing ---as the IT staff back-doored Congressional computers to siphon off classified security intel. The IT staff then absconded, hustled out of sight.......shockingly given visas while under criminal investigation.

Martha Raddatz of ABC News was completely unprofessional for not asking you about the Capitol Hill breach.

It does look bad, but let's see what happens later this month.

The storm is near.

Have you ever been outside on a hot, late summer afternoon ........... the air is nearly perfectly still, the sky to the west is darkening to gray and ominous purple, you can smell something in the air ........almost like the steaming rain after having landed on hot asphalt?

The storm is near.

Just wait a few more moments.

Rosenstein and the other deep staters in the NON-Justice Dept probably are successfully arguing that the Bush doctrine is to let the previous administration skate.

They don't prosecute Hillary and Bill stealing silver ware and furniture, they do NOT look into criminal acts by the Obama treasonous cartel. Sessions is fine with pot but not Obama criminality.

Besides, it would be like you finding out FOR SURE who was behind the JFK assassination. It is better that the little people continue to wonder than to confirm what most already believe is true.

As Hillary said in so many words, the little people really are stupid.

PROVING YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO
