I can’t wait until Nunes starts talking in detail about the
“about queries”, the unmasking and who was making the requests, then ties them in to the Obama EO regarding access to raw intelligence data. Let’s just say that, back in the March/April timeframe, those were the issues that REALLY pissed Nunes off.
Obscure the monitoring of about queries and unmasking requests by distributing them among the 16 other agencies (not including NSA) in the Intelligence Community, thus making it more difficult for NSA monitors of the Stellar Wind program to identify spikes in the requests. Didn’t work; NSA found them anyway and ADM Rogers informed Trump.
Now go back several months to claims by Trump that he was spied upon by British intelligence, i.e., MI6 or, more likely, GCHQ - the British NSA equivalent, if not both. Consider that Christopher Steele was “passionate” about Trump not becoming president and one (me) wonders why a British citizen would be so passionate about a US presidential race. Could it be that Steele is not retired, as reported, and that the pro-EU Brits and THEIR intelligence apparatus were attempting to influence the US election? If so, does it not also follow that they were working with Obama and his allies in the DOJ, FBI and ELSEWHERE to influence the outcome of the election?
Pretty sophisticated tradecraft with a LOT of risk. Stand by for more...
Yup. And what about Obama's PDB's.
