The U.S. intelligence official who “unmasked” the names of multiple private citizens affiliated with Trump’s team is someone “very well known, very high up, very senior in the intelligence world,” a source told Fox News on Friday.
Fox News reports:
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.
The unmasking of Americans whose communications apparently were caught up in surveillance under the Obama administration is a key part of an investigation being led by Nunes, who has come under fire from Democrats for focusing on that aspect.

Which explains why Barry is in Tahiti, a short flight away from places that have no extradition treaty with the US.
It is very obvious, the Washington establishment will not cede the authority of the Executive Branch to the elected President.
This saga based upon a fake narrative is nothing but an attempted SOFT COUP.....the GOPe & DNCe are framimg General Flynn & then plan on leverage off their MSM-hyped BS to impeach President Trump......
.......time to fight back politically.
I don't really care if Trump to tips us off or not. To heck with tweets. I want his administration to take care of business here and get these people prosecuted.

Richard Armitage?
Trump has 30 days to turn the tables on the Deep State and start prosecuting traitors or he's done.
President Trump needs some real fighters on his side in the Justice Department, it sure looks like the GOPestablishment won’t let the President put together a strong enough support team to defend him against the coming impeachment attempt....
.....there is serious scheming going on by the Demoncrats to remove President Trump on their fake narrative.
Agree. My money is on Brennan. He is such a hateful guy.
“Trump has 30 days to turn the tables on the Deep State and start prosecuting traitors or he’s done.”
How is he going to do that with a team with a team of GOP country-club frat-boys for advisers?
Point taken. He had better wise up. And fast.
“The sources told Nunes who was responsible and at least one of the Trump team names that was unmasked. They also gave him serial numbers of reports that documented the activity.”
I hadn’t heard that before.....
I’m with you. It’s time for Trump to expose what he has, if anything, and address the charges he has made in a Presidential manner and professional venue. While his administration is twisting in the wind, he is tweeting and it is becoming more difficult to take him seriously.

... and not necessarily Trump himself. Perhaps the AG. Whatever the legal proper process is for investigations and prosecutions like this. Just not the worthless Congress.

Let's wait to see if this is a reliable source.
I think I remember old Jeh complimenting President Trump recently. May now we know why.
I saw that.
He’s a crackpot.
Don’t kid yourself, those “frat boys” didn’t garner all that wealth by accident. They play a whole different hardball than D.C. Has ever seen
Let’s keep in mind that there’s a very good chance that false leaks are being put out there to discredit the whole process. I will tend not to believe anything I read on this unless it is attributed to someone who has the necessary security clearances to see the actual information.
