The spying by the Obama administration on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump reportedly was even worse than what he has alleged.
And it had nothing to do with Russia but everything to do with politics.
Sources in the intelligence community claim the potentially illegal revealing of names, or unmasking, of people in the Trump camp who were under surveillance was done purely “for political purposes” to “hurt and embarrass (candidate) Trump and his team.”
The bombshell revelations come from rank and file members of the intelligence community who are fighting back against a stonewall by the leaders at the nation’s spy agencies, according to Fox News.
Reporter Adam Housley said the sources are “not Trump” people but are “frustrated with the politics that is taking place in these (intelligence) agencies.”
And what they have revealed is amazing. Here is what they told Fox:
1) Surveillance targeting the Trump team during the Obama administration began months ago, even before the president had become the GOP nominee in July.
2) The spying on the Trump team had nothing to do with the collection of foreign intelligence or an investigation into Russia election interference.
3) The spying was done purely “for political purposes” that “have nothing to do with national security and everything to do with hurting and embarrassing Trump and his team.”
4) The person who did the unmasking was someone “very well known, very high up, very senior in the intelligence world, and is not in the FBI.”
5) Congressional investigators know the name of at least one person who was unmasking names.
6) The initial surveillance on the Trump team led to “a number of names” being unmasked.

8) Two sources in the intelligence community told Nunes who did the unmasking and told him at least one of the names of someone in the Trump team who was unmasked. The sources also gave Nunes the serial numbers of the classified reports that documented the unmasking.
9) It took Nunes a number of weeks to figure out how to see those intelligence reports because the intelligence agencies were stonewalling him, and not allowing the chairman or other people to see them.
10) There were only two places Nunes could have seen the information: where the sources work, which would have blown their cover; and the Eisenhower Executive Office building on the White House grounds, which houses the National Security Council and has computers linked to the secure system containing the reports he sought.
11) Nunes got access to that system on March 21 with the help of two Trump administration officials.
Democrat Reaction: Fingers in ears, yell “NahNahNahNah”
Wow. Trump needs to fully realize the media does not report bad stories about democrats. He needs to take everything to the American people, and to prosecute the wrongdoers.
Ah. So, it wasn't Puting who actively engaging in undermining our "democratic" process, it was Barky.
Okay I like this because it’s very detailed and specific is a what’s going
There’s so much misinformation out there. Specifics like this are important
....the other muzzie Brennan CIA
Another FReeper and I were speculating that it might be Susan Rice; they’ve already scapegoated her with Benghazi and think DJT won’t go after a black woman.
Maybe that’s what the Condi meeting was about.. get ahead of racist charges if it’s Rice.
Drum roll the arrests.
Be sure the case is tried outside of DC.... Perhaps, West Virginia in coal country.
Explains Zero’s banishment to the isle of Elba. Er, Fiji.
In fact, IIRC, all he said was basically that he saw nothing that would require Nunes to brief the President before he briefed the members of the committee.
Team Trump should counter every claim of meddling by the Russians with the FACT that Obama meddled in Israel’s election!
Zackly. And remind everyone that he spied on Angela Merkel.
Trump knows this better than any other America citizen.
His tweet that Obama had "wiretapped" him was a warning to the country that something really big is coming.
Exactly, he needs to do exactly what he said he would do: DRAIN THE SWAMP! I find it absolutely beyond outrageous and disgusting why the Clintons are walking around free as a bird. I know people who have committed just minor crimes whose lives have been utterly destroyed by the government who didn’t hesitate for a second to prosecute the hell out of them, and the Clintons can get away with one FELONY after another after another after another after another after another?? And not only that, she gets to even run for PRESIDENT?? SHE SHOULD BE DOING HARD TIME IN JAIL!! I write Trump all the time on Twitter, WHEN is he going to see to it that Hillary is prosecuted? And I’m not going to stop writing him until it happens. He is willfully allowing this criminal out in the street and he damn well knows she is doing everything she can to disrupt his Presidency.
Didn’t Nixon have to resign over allegations that he was spying on DemocRats?
“... Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., has known about the unmasking since January...”

This means Trump has known all along also...
I have said from the beginning since Trump made his announcement of the “wiretapping” that he had hard evidence, and he has...He has just waited until the prime moment to present it...
Trump’s timing is impeccable.....
Oh yeah, plus another thing: She could very well run for POTUS in 2020, and what if she wins?? He has GOT to see to it that she is prosecuted and locked up for the good of the country.
Yes, ok, but at Spicers WH press briefing yesterday, all the msm wanted to talk about and all the questions were “which door did Nunes go through at the White House last week.”
Which door did Nunes go through?
Which door?
Which door?
over and over.....
Spicer laid into them big time. Wanted to know when they will cover the real news. But, even after Spicer laid into them, the first question was “Which door?”
But the msm will never cover this information.
But Sessions shook hands with the Russian Ambassador at the RNC convention.
Go Ducks
Explains Zero’s banishment to the isle of Elba. Er, Fiji.
He is staying at a place that costs, I believe, 10,000/wk. He may not be paying that, but staying as an invited guest, but if true, someone is missing out on a lot of money.
He can’t stay there forever.
