Intelligence official who 'unmasked' Trump associates is 'very high up,' source says
FOX News ^

Posted on 03/31/2017 1:52:35 PM PDT by springwater13

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.

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.

Nunes has Known about the info since before the Inaguration

Speaker Ryan has also Known and he knows Nunes’s source, WHICH MEANS HE HAS ALWAYS KNOWN ABOUT IT.

This also means that HIGH Ranking Members in CONgress from BOTH Parties have Known ALL ALONG about the Illegal Surveillance

We should start an odds board. I will give you Brennan at 2.5 to 1. Clapper at 2.0 to 1. McCabe at 5.0 to one. If you pick the exacta you collect $10 for a $1 bet. The exacta pays $25 for a $1 bet.

By the time we find out their ID, they’ll have resigned and will hopefully be awaiting charges. And hopefully if others are involved, they’ll sing for reduced charges/sentencing and drag others down with them. First to sequel gets the deal.

These people need to stop all the theatrics, illusory subterfuge, and sensationalism.

Arrest the suspects, take them to court, hang the guilty, and close the book.

Lynch, Brennan or one of the 7 clowns shown below. No Nunes is not the guilty one!

This group will never allow the truth behind the Obama Crimes and Acts of High Treason to come out.

wiretapping is but one of a bucketful of violations of laws involved in this matter and hopefully the Trump administration will go for the jugular!!

My money’s on Brennan. Oh, how I would love to see that smug Muzzie in stripes. ValJar would bey second choice but it’s said someone high up in the intelligence community. That might exclude her.

Will speculate Director cia director for obama John Brennan. Total hack. I suggest the maximum security prison in Colorado. I’ll bet he is lawyering up right this hour.

“I DO hope the Trump team will tell us who it was that stopped the airplanes going to give assistance in Benghazi and were told to hold back.....who gave that order.”

Ask Travis McGee about what happened if you really want to know.

ILLEAGALLY unmasked would be the proper form. Somehow they left that word out.
