Nunes Did Nothing New By Viewing Raw Intel At The White House (more good info)
dailycaller.com ^ | Richard Pollack

Posted on 03/31/2017 5:14:11 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

There is nothing new about House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes leaving the panel’s secure room beneath the Capitol Building and heading to the White House complex or a related facility nearby to view raw intelligence, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has learned.

For years, intelligence committee chiefs have trekked to the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue or to an intelligence agency to view such super sensitive intelligence material, because the congressional secure room can’t handle such material.

Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Pete Hoekstra told TheDCNF that “if someone was going to present me with raw intelligence or unfinished intelligence or with intelligence which was designed for use by another part of the government, yeah, it’s very reasonable to expect that I would have to go somewhere else.” The Michigan Republican chaired the intelligence panel from 2004 to 2007.

Nunes has been harshly criticized by congressional Democrats for his decision to travel to the White House executive complex to view raw intelligence delivered by a whistleblower about allegations the Obama administration spied on then President-elect Donald Trump and his transition aides.

Boy, killing the head of the snake is sure difficult. They just won’t die. This crap will continue into the next election but true Americans realize all this BS for the BS it is. The rats will lose out in the end.

At the very end of the article, if you get that far, you will read:

Waurishuk, who said he has routinely helped Democrats and Republicans view raw intelligence since 1990, called the recent Democratic attacks “temper tantrums.”

“I wish they would grow up and become adults,” he mused.

I'm with you on that Waurishuk, but I'm not confident I will see it in my lifetime.

We have control of congress and all the high profile investigations are of ourselves. What’s wrong with this picture?

One of the primary characteristics of leftists is of never growing up and facing responsibility for themselves.

For the past 50 years, Congress has not been the real power directing the nation.

It has been the Mediacracy, deciding what the issues were, who could be elected and who could not, what was a scandal and what was not, what words mean, and what was socially allowed and what not.

The war we fight is mostly against the Establishment media.

As Rush noted: Is the Media an arm of the Democrat party, or the Democrat party an arm of the Media? The latter is closer to the truth.

They have to destroy the messenger or people might believe what he says.

Amazing how this can be a headline story for weeks! It gets old.

The Dems use a non story to deflect from the painful truth that Obama and Clinton are corrupt as hell, and MSM obliges. Where is “Freedom of the Press,” when most of it is bought and paid for by Soros?

We’re letting the story be about the viewing of the intelligence instead of what he learned. If Zero’s admin was spying on the new administration, & setting up leaks, then it means people MUST BE PROSECUTED. I hope Jeff Sessions is up to the task.

As you know, we can't change the title of the articles when we post them.

This article contains interesting information which is not old despite the tired sounding title.

Dems are scared to death that he’s got the drop on them, so they feel compelled to discredit him.

Exactly. It is all an effort to deflect from the truth in order to hide their lies and illegal and immoral actions.

The democRATS are just the legislative body of the media giants.

The media corporations are the ones driving the agenda, not the liberal politicians.

” Trump has no evidence! Show us the evidence!”

” WH security officials showed the evidence! This leak must be investigated!”

” The congressman who saw the evidence must recuse himself from the investigation!’

” Because Russia!’

I would be amusing if Sean Spicer in today’s daily press briefing would provide the media with the number of times Adam Schiff has visited the White House or Executive Office Building to review documents. The same for Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, and Feinstein.
