If Trump wants it out that means it’s good for Trump. Right?
What gets me is that one moment they say Trump was not under surveillance, and the next moment they will say that intelligence gained by surveillance, of course, on Trump, will be examined and investigated for possible collusion.
GEEZ, is Larry telling us to GET it out there?
Words still mean things.
“Do you believe them or the DailyCaller?”
Isn’t that cute? A loyalty test so early in the morning. I remember all the loyalty tests when Bush junior was president and he turned out to be a NWO, Neocon putz. Personally, even though I voted for Trump I don’t trust any of them. We’ll see.
Obama shut it down because he and the Clintons were already in the Russian pocket. And then the Alinsky’s Rule follows - accuse your enemy of that which you are doing.
(or words to that affect)

See 17. Larry’s latest.
“SCIF” – Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility. To understand the larger Devin Nunes briefing issues it is important to focus on the word “compartmented”.
Sundance elaborates which individuals are privy/have access to which segmented bits of intel.
"♦ BRIEFINGS – When the Gang-of-Eight are being briefed, they are being briefed at essentially the same level as the President, albeit they may not have the same exact end product because it is also subject to user “as needed” requests. However, when the larger congressional intelligence committees are being briefed, they are not briefed at the same level because they hold a lower security status.

"So what does all this mean?Our research indicates that Chairman Devin Nunes, a gang of eight member, reviewed intelligence reports (most likely PDB’s) that were assembled exclusively for the office of the President (Obama). That is why he went to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) Information Facility to review.
The intelligence product would be delivered to that SCIF system for his review, most likely by the ODNI. It would be removed from that SCIF system after his review. No systems are connected.
Nunes stated the intelligence product he reviewed was “not related to Russia, or the FBI Russian counter-intelligence investigation”. So the product itself was likely a product for the President, that was not part of the ongoing FBI counter-intel product.
Again, this is why it seems likely it was part of a PDB – unless it was a separate product, apart from the PDB, which was created for the Office of the President. [I view the latter as highly doubtful because it would be too risky for the President to be asking for specific ‘stand alone’ intel on something Trump.]
♦ Now, HERE IS WHERE YOU NEED TO PUT ON A “Politics only” FILTER.
Couldn’t Adam Schiff (another gang of eight member) go look at the same intelligence as Nunes did?
Yes. However, purely from the standpoint of politics: why would he?
If Representative Schiff saw the same intelligence that substantiates Nunes he couldn’t keep up the fake outrage and false narrative. Right now Schiff can say anything about it he wants because he hasn’t seen it. If Schiff actually sees the intelligence Nunes saw he loses that ability. He would also lose the ability to criticize, ridicule and/or marginalize Devin Nunes.
The same political perspective applies to Minority leader Nancy Pelosi, Minority leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Mark Warner. For each of them to see the information would eliminate their ability to talk about it, or criticize Nunes. The politics of the situation are more valuable so long as they don’t engage in actual truthful knowledge.

UPDATES:
There is Senate hearing going on right now. Is there a live thread for that? It seems like whatever reporting is out there against democrats, it’s due to foreign influence. These people are so corrupt.
LS SAYS:
“WRONG. See my update on previous thread. Team Trump told me today that Coats “got it out” meaning the NSA info.
Please revise or amend thread.”
It just ended, but here is the whole hearing:
