Trey Gowdy: Samantha Power testified that intel officials made 'unmasking'...
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/5/18 | Pete Kasperowicz

Posted on 02/05/2018 9:58:39 AM PST by markomalley

House Oversight & Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy said Tuesday that President Obama's former United Nations ambassador has testified that not all of the "unmasking" requests made in her name were directed by her.

Samantha Power testified in Gowdy's committee last week, and Fox News reported weeks before her appearance that she was thought to have made as many as 260 requests to "unmask" Americans caught up in the surveillance of non-U.S. citizens.

But Tuesday evening, Gowdy told Fox News that Power told his committee that she was not the official requesting that unmasking in every case.

Pray tell, who was the Masked Unmasker? Inquiring minds want to know if it was Comey himself.

Why would a UN Ambassador need to ‘unmask’ or even be permitted to ask anyway?.................

Obviously Power doesn’t want to be the fall guy. She needs to name names......NOW. See who was unmasking without the proper credentials.

So most of these “unmaskings” were fraudulent.

I'm sure it was even less complicated than that. Attributing the requests to her was part of the cover up. She is an innocuous, uninterested and far removed character in as far as the general election campaign would go. REMEMBER, Hillary was supposed to win. A lot of what is being discovered now is damage control resulting in the wrong people (Trumps people) getting to the bottom of this stuff.

I imagine, when the light first shined on "who" requested the names of surveilled citizens, some documentation had to be created and the "official requests" had to be attributed to someone. My money is that, the names were leaked with verbal direction (nothing in writing) or someone with the information simply did it without authorization for the benefit of the democrats. The better question for her is, did she know someone was using her as the source of the requests? And of course, who was it that put her as the source?

“Power told his committee that she was not the official requesting that unmasking in every case.”

In every case? Come on chief inquisitor Goudy, you let someone give you an answer like that?? HOW MANY CASES, one, ten, 20,or bigger than a bread box number. Also, why is a UN ambassador making any requests???

I'm sure she'll want immunity to testify and then, when testifying, "plea the 5th". This seems to work well for democrats. I wonder how it will work out when friends are not the ones "investigating" the crimes.

Gowdy like other House members has no power to prosecute only investigate.

This is old news.. Oct. ‘17.

However, there is no news on who but Samantha could have used her authorization to unmask.

Couldn’t mean that she lied, could it??? lol.

Samantha Power = UN global cabal, the HANDLERS of the Deep State in the U.S.

Obvious, isn't it? The UN global cabal was spying DIRECTLY on U.S. citizens, and not always using their Deep State in the U.S. to get the blackmail material they sought.

What they probably did was use her as a name on a piece of paper, then buried their requests in some legit ones, so nobody would question the act.....................

Would love to tie all of this treason to the Kenyan.

I’d even take that Persian harpy tied to his hip.

Well Samantha, if you can’t tell us who illegally unmasked USCitizen then we have no option to believe it was anyone but you.

I don’t think it’s quite as simple as “a piece of paper, as authorization is now high tech, electronic, and leaves high tech and electronic trails.

This trail is verified and leads to her. Who can prove a negative? She is likely lying and is married to another old commie, which is a strike against her motivations to do anything else but lie when expedient.
