Gowdy: Former UN Ambassador Samantha Power claims others unmasked in her name
Foxnews ^ | Oct 17,2017 | Foxnews

Former President Barack Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations has testified that others made so-called unmasking requests in her name, House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy said Tuesday.

“Her testimony is they may be under my name, but I did not make those requests,” Gowdy said of former Ambassador Samantha Power during an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on "Special Report with Bret Baier."

Power is among the Obama administration figures who made requests to identify Americans whose names surfaced in foreign intelligence reporting, known as unmasking.

Last month, Fox News reported that Power was unmasking at such a rapid pace in the final months of the Obama administration that she averaged more than one request for every working day in 2016 – and even sought information in the days leading up to President Trump’s inauguration.

"I think if she were on your show, she would say those requests to unmask may have been attributed to her, but they greatly exceed by an exponential factor the requests she actually made,” Gowdy said. “So, that's her testimony, and she was pretty emphatic in it...”

Making false federal requests in the name of another person....sounds like a crime that should be investigated and prosecuted.

Do they have no records of who took receipt of the results of the unmasking? Who were they forwarded to? If not Sammie, then? Whoever was responsible for acting on the request and forwarded the info should be put under oath and questioned.

They will probably say they thought it was Power. But Notice that she says it was someone else but she doesn’t say she did not know who it was. I suspect someone knew who it was. Surely they did not think Power requested all this.

We know Huma emailed passwords to her personal email account at Yahoo. Maybe those passwords were Sammy’s?

Whoever used the data should be held accountable until they squeal. If they used it they knew who they acquired it from.

She’s using the Sergeant Schulz defense: “I knew nothing! Nothing!”

If she wasn’t doing the unmasking, someone else should be in huge trouble.

"Did the Obama administration have ANY security protocols in place?"

Sure they did -- to protect themselves and their illegal acts.
The Obama Regime was nothing but one great spy ring
compromising American security where ever they could
get away with it.

Obama was an extension of Jarrett. Obama was the puppet for Valerie and the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama is still their puppet.

ValJar.

My first thought also. We know she is dirty, she had such a demand for control, she needed information.

Yes,
Definition 2, originally I was thinking of a small clutch of birds, like birds of a feather ie
a small group of people or things: a clutch of brightly painted whores

but then again definition 1 fits good too
We are in the clutches of whores.
