He didn't come out and say exactly that, but it's what he didn't say that matters.
Devin Nunes has been brushing off all the personal attacks on him as he continues his investigation into the Trump surveillance scandal. I watched the bombshell go off yesterday on Fox News:
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.The spying began before Trump was the nominee. Here is a series of Tweets from Adam Housley, courtesy of The Right Scoop: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 Russias interference in the U.S. election, a congressional source close to the investigation told Fox News.
And the worst part:
In addition, citizens affiliated with Trumps team who were unmasked were not associated with any intelligence about Russia or other foreign intelligence, sources confirmed. The initial unmasking led to other surveillance, which led to other private citizens being wrongly unmasked, sources said.Now for some very interesting coincidences. There is a fascinating nexus in these events. First, we have Evelyn Farkas, who admitted collecting data on Trump:"Unmasking is not unprecedented, but unmasking for political purposes ... specifically of Trump transition team members ... is highly suspect and questionable, an intelligence source told Fox News. Opposition by some in the intelligence agencies who were very connected to the Obama and Clinton teams was strong. After Trump was elected, they decided they were going to ruin his presidency by picking them off one by one."

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't have a whole lot of faith in Congress these days.
Has never happened; is never gonna happen.
Where is Drudge on this. I have been talking to a friend about this.
My first thought was that we were being punked, but so much more has come out since then. But still no Drudge?
We are both wondering now if Drudge is not sitting on or still investigating a bigger story.
We know he is not afraid to go after anyone. He went after a sitting president when he broke the Lewinsky story.
