Senior Fox News Correspondent, Adam Housley revealed on Friday that Intel Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) knows who unmasked the identities of Trump and his close associates.

Sources also told him that the unmasking was purely for political purposes to embarrass Trump and had NOTHING to do with national security.

Now this.. According to activist and author Mike Cernovich the leaker and unmasker is Susan Rice.

As they used to say on Laugh In with a German Accent:

Very Interesting!

Susan Rice and Donna Brazile might as well be Chicago Street Gangbangers ... ‘ethically challenged’ is an understatement.

Crowley: You started as a speechwriter but also became a diplomat and a policymaker. But you’ve also become a lightning rod for people who don’t like Obama’s foreign policy.15 You symbolize everything he does wrong in their view. Why do you think that is? And is there something you think people misunderstand about you?

Rhodes: No. 1, part of my job is to be the lightning rod and to take the hits so he doesn’t take them or [national security adviser] Susan [Rice] doesn’t take them, although she took her share. I always volunteered to go out on the worst days.

What evidence is there that Cernovich is a reliable source?

Rush just cited Cernovich on the air.

[dragnet2]

Speaking of dense, did ya think they had evidence of Trump colluding with the Russians? ??

I was simply posting the question which would immediately be asked in that scenario. Of course you had no evidence to offer, because they never had any evidence.☺

This should not be complex, even for you.

[grey_whiskers]

Rush just cited Cernovich by name on the air.

Nice try, troll-boy.

[InterceptPoint]

Nice try, troll-boy.

LOL. Troll-Boy. Maybe that should be my new tag line. I kind of like it.

But ... I insist you take that back. I'm innocent. I didn't do it. It was a harmless prank. I was pulling for Trump to talk about Rice. I'm listening to it now and he is doing OK.

But he is quoting the Bloomberg article which is the safe course. I would have done the same thing.

So we have Cernovich, Bloomberg, Fox and now Rush. It is going to be hard for the MSM to suppress this one. They will try of course and if that fails they will move on to the "Everybody Does It" or the "Old News" defense.

"I was simply posting the question which would immediately be asked in that scenario."

I have never posted that I thought there was any evidence of collusion between Trump and his staff and the Russians. What I have posted is a request for the media to provide a working theory, by referring to public rhetoric and/or actions from the Russians which would lead them to make that conclusion.

There are some lazy and ill informed who don't understand still, that there is no proof, yet still knee jerk ask for it. You swim in that stinking barrel of fish.

[dragnet2]

To be honest, sometimes it's for me it's hard to believe it's a National Security Advisor, not an obscure ambassador etc, who's reportedly at the heart of this conspiracy to illegally undermine and compromise a legitimate president of the United States. This takes us right into the White House.☺ If all this is accurate, these people were only motivated to overthrow the newly elected President of the United States.

[sargon]

The biggest blowout here to me is that if the media in general has been sitting on this story while they raked Trump over the the coals with what it discovered; that proves that the media is an arm of the Democrat Party beyond any doubt.

Right. We weren't sure yet...

Bttt.

OMG, you can’t be this dense. It’s was a rhetorical question

IE: A question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer.

Hello??

[grey_whiskers]

OK, retracted.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

We have to assume Obama and his jackboots were monitoring (spying on) all GOP candidates last year, many GOP members of congress, republican donors, conservative think tanks, and others.

They also “knew” Hillary would win so nobody would be held to account.

[Political Junkie Too]

Obama quote when appointing Susan Rice as National Security Advisor in 2013:

"She is at once passionate and pragmatic... I think everybody understands Susan is a fierce champion for justice and human dignity, but she's also mindful that we have to exercise our power wisely and deliberately."

OK Drudge. Are you there?

Well, the Bloomfield View article is up but no flashing blue light....

just saw the Bloomberg link - Lake tries to say that her unmasking wasn’t totally ‘illegal’...

bwahaha!

I think Tahiti and the U.S.A. have extradition agreements.

But Cuba doesn't.

[Grampa Dave]

It was Ben Rhodes, who answered Trump's tweet, that he was surveiled by Obama!

WITHIN MINUTES of Trump's post.

What COMPELLED Ben Rhodes to do that?

He couldn't help it. He could feel the imaginary nut crackers being used by Trump and Jeff Sessions. So he blurted out his inane response.

Every night since then, he has had this recurring nightmare:
