American Thinker ^ | July 28, 2017 | Rick Moran

Intelligence committee chairman David Nunes revealed in a letter to DNI Dan Coats that he has uncovered hundreds of requests to unmask the identities of Americans found in overseas intel reports during the last year of the Obama administration and that most of them carried no official justification.

Nunes says most of the requests came from White House political aides and were not related to intelligence or national security work.  He also says some of the requests to unmask identities were for Trump campaign and transition aides. The Hill:

And where is Sessions?

Dare we even guess - Session seems to be headed for a bit of a Cruz, so disappointing

Sessions works for Trump. If Trump doesn’t want to pursue these things, what can he do?

I have finally realized, nothing will be investigated, and virtually nothing accomplished in the Next Four Year. Trump has already lost to the deep state.

Well damn, I guess we can all go home then - oh I'm at home.

No boooo on that defeatist attitude lets keep fighting what else we gonna do. We have a president that is in there doing his level best fighting for us.

On the bright side Cankles and Spurt aren't at 1600

It is still illegal to do both. Democrat lawyers are trying to set up the narrative that it is no longer illegal. Obama and his boyz have numerous Criminal charges once someone grows a pair. The same victims have civil rights cases if they dare to file. Will anyone. Doubt it. all are afraid of Hillary and Obama.

Liaison Loopholes, huh. That sounds a lot more nefarious than any teeny hint of the Russians colluding with Trump.

The photo was taken in the Rose garden during one of the first speeches given by Obama right after the election.

That was the collective look that all their worldly dreams were not going to come true for at least another eight years.

Hillary lost the election. Can't blame anyone else.

...This sort of thing used to be illegal until Obama relaxed privacy rules in 2011...

Let me take a stab at it. I’ll presume, *Obama* relaxed, by Exec fiat, like he did w/ the ‘welfare work requirements, instead of by Legislative?

IOW, as ILLEGAL pre-fiat as it were post, as he has no authority to (re)write law.

Not that I suspect Sessions would do *anything* in either case.

It was illegal because even the relaxed rules required judicial approval and there were restrictions on spying on Americans.

It was illegal for the government to spy on people for purely political purposes and to lie about it.

Oh, I’m sure the FISA court’s APPROVED rubber-stamp was on *FIRE* w/ use. Course, being a ‘secret’ court, they’d have to kill ya after showing ya the ‘proof’.

If I had kids, I’d weep for their future.

Saint Jeffery the Innocent, will be right on it, right after he finds Bigfoot in El Salvador.

...and busts him for a leaf of weed that was stuck to his fur, thereby justifying the seizure of all of his assets...
