House Intelligence Committee Chair: Leakers of Flynn Call ‘Belong in Jail’
breitbart.com ^ | http://www.

Posted on 02/14/2017 8:39:21 PM PST by Helicondelta

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said Tuesday that those who leaked the contents of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s phone calls “belong in jail.”

“That’s nine leakers that all belong in jail,” Nunes said. “Those nine people broke the law, clearly, by leaking classified information to anybody.”

Nunes said he also wanted to know how U.S. intelligence agencies were wiretapping Flynn’s calls, which he said may also have been illegal.

The chairman said there are only two ways that intelligence agencies can listen in on an American’s phone call — after obtaining a warrant, or inadvertently, such as in the case of Flynn speaking with a foreign official being spied on, which the report suggests was the case.

Nunes said “it’s pretty clear” that there was no warrant.

“It’s pretty clear that’s not the case,” he said. “I’m pretty sure the FBI didn’t have a warrant on Michael Flynn … To listen to an American’s phone call you would have to go to a court, there’d be all that paperwork there. So I’m guessing that doesn’t exist.”

Our laws have become suggestions for the elite globalists and commandments for the patriots.

If we don’t enforce all of our laws (or change them), our country has become an inner city with a million broken windows. A place where nothing matters for the people doing the window smashing, and a living hell for the few law abiders trapped within.

And while he is at it President Trump should ask Putin to return mega-leaker Snowden back to this country rather than giving him sanctuary.

The leak exposed that Flynn was not completely forthcoming with Pence. Flynn appears to be a good guy but should have been fully candid with his superior. He wasn’t and it cost him bigly.

But the wire tapping, leak, and publishing of classified information are all much bigger scandals than what Flynn said or did.

The mind-raping media also keeps pushing the narrative of Trump-Russia connections to distract from the takedown of a worldwide pedophilia ring.

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if Russian intelligence tipped off some of our law enforcement, intelligence (if they’re not part of it), and the current administration about certain people involved, including the Clintons.

But it’s just talk and wishful thinking. I’ll only be happy when those responsible are found out and have to answer for their actions.

Loretta Lynch’s Final Order Allows The NSA To Give Spying Data To Other Federal Agencies
Common Sense Evaluation ^
Posted on ...by gaggs
Just days before leaving office Loretta Lynch secretly signed an order to allow any branch of government, including local law enforcement, access to the NSA’s data mine on the American people. She created a mechanism by which the Fourth Amendment can be circumvented by law enforcement agencies of any type and description, foreign and domestic, in the area of digital information.

Trump did not cave. He responded.

Flynn was caught being less than honest with the Vice President. Pence, relying on what Flynn told him, made inaccurate statements publicly.

We can’t have that. That’s quite similar to Bush and Powell making bold public statements about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction only to be unable to find them later due to intelligence failures.

The left probably did us a favor unintentionally. Eager to do anything to slow Trump’s momentum, they got rid of someone who might have harmed us by his cavalier attitude. (I don’t mean to disrespect Flynn, who is probably a great man, but he brought this on himself. He’s not the right man for the job.)

His replacement will do better.

These things are a distraction from the real issues:

possibly illegal wiretapping
leaking classified information
publishing classified information
a massive, worldwide Satanic / pedophile network being exposed (while the mind-raping media and some of the likely culprits try to pass it off as fake news)

The globalists appear to be willing to go to war against Trump and Putin who are both strongly nationalistic.

Watergate is a child’s prank compared to what is going on right now. I would bet that the NSA/CIA has the every square inch of the Whitehouse and it’s communication systems under surveillance and is the source of all of the info coming out. Trump needs to go to congress right now and demand that they back him on finding out what is going on with these agencies and that they be prepared to act accordingly.

The forces that Obama allowed to take over this country the last 8 years are very dark and powerful and they are thick in the walls of Washington and the Whitehouse. And yes, Bush and many of the Republicans are equally culpable in the rise of these forces either through ignorance or their own lust for power.

I do not think any one man is strong enough to overcome these forces alone. But who can Trump trust? I don’t know. What can we do to help? Try to give him reliable honest people in congress and let him know he has our support to plow ahead regardless of how daunting things appear.

The authoritarian elites believe that they are entitled to their power, constitution be damned, and they have no moral compunction against destroying the world before they will turn it over to common people. Because to the elites, the world only exists due to their graciousness. And you and I are only allowed to live in peace and comfort as long as we accept and support their authority. Otherwise there will be hell to pay. And they are in the process of ripping apart the very fabric of this country to make sure we are feeling that right now. “How dare we reject them”

“why did Trump cave?”

Trump fired a dumbass before he caused more problems.

Flynn called the Russian ambassador using an unsecured line on the day that Obama enacted the new sanctions. Calling this dumb is an understatement. Flynn is a moron.

Trump could have waited to fire Flynn later but that would make Pence look weak. Better to fire Flynn now and get past it. Next week this will be ancient history.

Look, the source of the leak was probably Sally Yates. She knew about the Flynn call and notified the White House weeks ago according to the media reports.

I’m not ruling out John Brennan. He didn’t just leave his office. He left stark, raving MAD.

"That’s nine leakers that all belong in jail,” Nunes said. “Those nine people broke the law, clearly, by leaking classified information to anybody."
