Lawmakers say intel agencies stonewalling on surveillance probe
Foxnews ^

Lawmakers probing the surveillance of key officials in the Trump campaign and administration say the intelligence agencies now nominally under the president’s control are stonewalling efforts to get to the bottom of who revealed names and leaked protected information to the press.

The House and Senate Intelligence Committees are currently investigating allegations the Obama administration spied on Trump associates – and possibly Trump himself – for as long as the year preceding his inauguration. And while former Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice has been implicated as at least one of the officials who sought redacted names from surveillance transcripts, multiple lawmakers and investigators for the panel told Fox News the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency - all agencies in position to aid the probe – are not cooperating.

Trump needs to make a national address and lay out a reform bill for the intelligence community that includes new extreme felony punishment for misuse and a special court. This is simply federal abuse of power on mega-steroids.

I’m expecting a lot of things like that, among others, to happen shortly after Gorsuch is confirmed.

“Any information that will help find the wide extent on the unmasking and surveillance is purposely not being provided,” said the Senate source.

An FBI spokesperson said the bureau is working in good faith.


Comey is in deep trouble, and he knows it.

Does anyone really think all these agencies which have access to $500 billion snooping databases are not going to get full value from them? Think about it. The media and democrats are terrified of the deep state beasts. So they make nice to it instead so it eats others.

The intelligence agencies appear to actually be the shadow government. How do they get away with this? Unions? Democrats? This is insane.

This is unacceptable. WTH is going on.

The Socialists were in power. They had effected a Coup d'etat and taken over most of the US government.

Then, TRUMP somehow won.

They are now fighting to get their POWER back.

>>WTH is going on.<<

Once the government crosses the line, there is no turning back. It's all about power over the population.

We've truly lost our government, our freedom.

You don’t think they would scrub the evidence of anything that would put their ‘dear leaders’ in jail or put them out of work do you?
