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.

White House logs indicate Susan Rice consumed unmasked intel on Trump associates

by Sara Carter and John Solomon April 3, 2017
http://circa.com/politics/accountability/white-house-logs-indicate-susan-rice-consumed-unmasked-intel-on-trump-associates

Computer logs that former President Obama’s team left behind in the White House indicate his national security adviser Susan Rice accessed numerous intelligence reports during Obama’s last seven months in office that contained National Security Agency intercepts involving Donald Trump and his associates, Circa has learned.

Intelligence sources said the logs discovered by National Security Council staff suggested Rice’s interest in the NSA materials, some of which included unmasked Americans’ identities, appeared to begin last July around the time Trump secured the GOP nomination and accelerated after Trump’s election in November launched a transition that continued through January.

The intelligence reports included some intercepts of Americans talking to foreigners and many more involving foreign leaders talking about the future president, his campaign associates or his transition, the sources said. Most if not all had nothing to do with the Russian election interference scandal, the sources said, speaking only on condition of anonymity given the sensitive nature of the materials.

Ordinarily, such references to Americans would be redacted or minimized by the NSA before being shared with outside intelligence sources, but in these cases names were sometimes unmasked at the request of Rice or the intelligence reports were specific enough that the American’s identity was easily ascertained, the sources said.

The exact national security justifications for Rice accessing the reports isn’t clear and may require additional documentation that the House and Senate intelligence committees have requested from the NSA, America’s lead agency in spying on foreign powers.

How the information was disseminated beyond Rice will also be a potential focus of congressional oversight, since lawmakers may want to know if it was briefed to Obama or shared with members of her larger circle of advisers, like deputy Ben Rhodes.

Rice has not returned repeated calls for comment from Circa. But in an interview with PBS recently, she said she had no idea what House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes was talking about when he said Obama officials were monitoring Trump associates after the election.

One intelligence professional with detailed knowledge of how the NSA and other intelligence agencies share information with the White House during transitions told Circa that U.S. intelligence reporting on foreign leaders’ perceptions of Trump spiked after his unexpected election win in November, creating a trove of information that could be accessed by the outgoing White House.

“There’s always intelligence reporting on an incoming president and how the world is reacting but this election was not like others, and that reporting spiked,” the source said. “Whether and how it was used by the Obama team will have to be evaluated separate of the fact that the reporting this time around was richer and more robust because of the circumstances of the election.”

Both the Republican chairman and Democratic vice chairman of the Housing Intelligence Committee have been shown the documents discovered by the NSC over the last 10 days.

“The Democrat Party is the action arm of the Establishment Media.”

There are days, like ever since Trump was sworn in as POTUS, and the mediots went into full blown Kamikazi attacks against him and his people. That your comment above may be the reality.

From Hannity’s show:
HANNITY: And welcome back to “Hannity.” So as we told you in the last two segments, according to Sara Carter and John Solomon’s reporting, Susan Rice, John Brennan and Loretta Lynch were cleared to, quote, “request and consume unmasked intelligence reports.” So will the mainstream media cover that bombshell?

I wanted this to shake out a bit and not be half baked in my perception on these crimes. This was multiple felonies and many conspirators are evolved in using, disbursing and dissemination of classified information. All members of the Obama White House including himself must testify. All membere of the Hillery camppaign must testify including hillary her self. It is clear that there was no proper Fisa on this and it had nothing to do with “Russia”. This silly Russia hoax was contrived because they knew this would blow. They thought they would win the election and they could control this.. After the loss is was panic city . They knew that with the changing of the guard the wide spread tracks and evidence of illegal wire tapping would ensnare them. Very much like Benghazi, the panic led them to the absurd excuse that is laughable but all they can do .
The illegal wire tapping may have gone all the way back into the Summer— Las June? My God this is the greatest political scandle in our history by a magnitude of 10.

This demands a special prosecutor with Gran Jury empaneled for subpoena power. However; there is no statutory authority for the Special Prosecution of these numerous cases. Thus a law must be quickly passed by republicans authorizing this much needed and thorough criminal prosecution of numerous conspirators and user of these wire taps of political opposition figures.
The media has destroyed any final vestige of credibility for thruth through their averting their gaze on this political nuclear bomb. Their behind the scenes wailing and gnashing of teeth must be painful to watch. Trump in 2020.

No, she had the right to ask for an unmasking, period. An American did not have to be complicit in an illegal act.

I wonder how long Trump has known all of this, and just fuels it with the Tweets.

ROONEY: Let's get back to masking briefly.

You spoke about masking and trying to keep a U.S. person's identity concealed. And when it is disseminated, you -- we often talk about in the intelligence community about the exceptions to how -- if somebody's masks, how you unmask them. What would the exceptions to that masking be before it's disseminated?

ROGERS: So again, we use two criteria; the need to know on the person requesting us in the execution of their official duties and the second part was, is the identification necessary to truly understand the context of the intelligence value that the report is designed to generate? Those are the two criteria we use.

ROONEY: Is that identity of a U.S. person communicating with a foreign target? Is that ordinarily disseminated in a masked or unmasked form?

ROGERS: No. It is normally disseminated, if we -- if we make the decision that there's intelligence value and we're going to report on it, it is normally disseminated in a masked form. I would -- again, as I said, we use a reference, U.S. person one, U.S. person two...

ROONEY: Right.

ROGERS: I would highlight, if you look at the total breadth of our reporting, reporting involving U.S. persons at all is an incredibly small subset in my experience of our total reporting.

ROONEY: Who normally in the NSA would make the decision to unmask?

ROGERS: There are 20 individuals including myself who I have delegated this authority to approve unmask requests.

ROONEY: And does the level of approval change depending on the reason for unmasking? If it was something or somebody, say, really important would that matter or could it be...

ROGERS: Not -- it's not necessarily designated in writing that way, but certainly by custom and tradition, at times requests will be pushed up to my -- I'm the senior-most of the 20 individuals. Requests will be pushed to my level, say "hey, sir, we just want to make sure that you're comfortable with this."

IMO he has known if for some time. The tweets were done to bait the MSM and the Dems. He got the predicted reaction and now they will be made to eat crow.

The fact that Nunes immediately went public with surveillance claims after viewing the logs tells quite a bit. At the very least they have HER. Problem is not only will it be reported, but how. I am already seeing Twitter posts referring to her as a hero for trying to expose “treason”. There is no end to the absolute madness we live in.

The NYT sat on this story for days. These shameless propagandists in the MSM have enter a stage that I call “Emperor has no clothes”. They are in panic and denial. It is a nightmare for them and they can’t wake up. If you watch Air channel news it has become comical.It is like they are on a different planet. Nothing fits their narrative. Their Russia story has fallen flat. The greatest political scandal in history has gone off like nuke and they avert their political gaze while the nation laughs at them like clowns.

That's not a problem.

It's irrelevant how the lying collusive media reports this. Fact is this was an illegal act, motivated to undermine, compromise and ultimately overthrow a legitimate President of the United States.

If there is not heavy legal action, then there is no rule of law any more.


The rule of law has not existied (primarily for well connected Democrats) for decades.
