The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is ramping up investigation into former President Barack Obama administration’s campaign to “unmask” President Donald Trump aides who were incidentally surveilled in meetings with foreign officials, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.
The committee is also intensifying a probe into Fusion GPS, a private “opposition research” company that distributed a salacious memo on Trump, called the “Trump Dossier.”
Over the next two weeks the House committee is expected to privately interview former U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power, who reportedly asked to unmask or identify Americans on as many as 260 occasions, primarily Trump campaign or transition officials.
Power was so aggressive in her efforts to unmask Trump aides, she asked U.S intelligence officials on nearly a daily basis to “unmask” or identify Trump officials who had passing contacts with foreign officials, according to a Fox News report on Sept. 20.
Power was trying to compile the information on behalf of other Obama intelligence officials, former U.S. Attorney Joseph DiGenova told TheDCNF. “Her aggressive use of unmasking requests sends a very, very suspicious signal that she was working hand in glove with somebody to get information,” he said.
The committee previously subpoenaed documents from Power, but the former Obama ambassador has voluntarily agreed to testify in private, according to congressional officials with knowledge of the committee’s activities.
The committee is also preparing to introduce a proposed “legislative fix” within the next few weeks to ban or extremely limit future unmasking of American citizens, the congressional officials said.
The intelligence committee also issued subpoenas Oct. 4 to the owners of Fusion GPS, the Washington, D.C.-based company that paid former British MI6 agent Christopher Steele to compile the “Trump Dossier,”

Obama was obviously nervous of President Trump.
Maybe some of this investigating will unearth the deep state-media connection.
At which point their licenses can really be questioned.
The coverup continues to enable the Congress to
make two Americas. One for them (the EXEMPT),
and the other for the taxpayers now destroyed
under ObamaCARE and their other rules
which THEY DO NOT obey, themselves.
So, we’re done with Comey, Hillary, Huma, et al? Where are the hearings to drag Comey’s tall butt back into Congress under oath?
As if any of that makes a hill of beans difference
No one will go to jail
Looks like there’s some kind of weird propaganda blitz against the President today. Did you see these at Drudge?
“BANNON BOMBSHELL: TRUMP HAS 30% CHANCE OF SURVIVAL!”
“BREITBART boss making it HARDER for Trump to enact his agenda...”
“President’s lawyers may offer Mueller meeting...”
Yeah, that Drudge—the one with possible robot and weird sex fixations.
That part I can believe... they'll allow Obama to get away with it, but they sure don't want Trump to use the same political "tools" Obama used. Besides... wasn't that sort of thing illegal to begin with?
Ok...where’s Sessions?
Hate to say it, but the ankle biters are at it again. Nothin but yap, yaps!
Seems like these “probes” never end with one single person going to jail (even though laws were broken) or fired or anything.
And if someone does get in trouble it’s some low ranked nobody.
They are just going through the motions and will drag it out up till the election then it will all be dropped. The swamp is Fake News!
Obama was nervous about everyone, desto he spied on all Americans with his surveillance state.
Barack Obama could only dream...
Russia made Obama do it.
So was this the FAKE NEWS Trump had in mind with his tweet?
Hmmm...
He’d be dreaming in a different direction, if you catch my drift.
Are you talking about the connection between the CIA and the media?
