House Intelligence Committee Chair: Leakers of Flynn Call ‘Belong in Jail’

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said Tuesday that those who leaked the contents of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s phone calls “belong in jail.”

“That’s nine leakers that all belong in jail,” Nunes said. “Those nine people broke the law, clearly, by leaking classified information to anybody.”

Nunes said he also wanted to know how U.S. intelligence agencies were wiretapping Flynn’s calls, which he said may also have been illegal.

The chairman said there are only two ways that intelligence agencies can listen in on an American’s phone call — after obtaining a warrant, or inadvertently, such as in the case of Flynn speaking with a foreign official being spied on, which the report suggests was the case.

Nunes said “it’s pretty clear” that there was no warrant.

“It’s pretty clear that’s not the case,” he said. “I’m pretty sure the FBI didn’t have a warrant on Michael Flynn … To listen to an American’s phone call you would have to go to a court, there’d be all that paperwork there. So I’m guessing that doesn’t exist.”

Deep State War on Trump bump for later...

This is bad - way bad. In the 5th column's mad rush to trash Trump and his administration, the capabilities of various intel gathering resources got exposed into the open. Foreign governments across the world are now scrambling to re-do their communications security to lock us out and put us in the dark. Couldn't come at a worse time since Trump is presently working on getting his bearings on various situations to be addressed and the ability to gather credible comprehensive intel is a very important tool to have. It's apparently been compromised at many levels, so now there's gonna have to be a lot of work commencing to assess and do a clean-up.

Trump has to build a case against them which takes a little time. Once the arrests are made, we’ll get a press conference probably from AG Sessions. I suspect by end of this year, these guys will be rolled up and Trump firmly controlling the info coming out of his White House.

Important. Check out # 15 for link to LameCherry.

There's malice afoot.

Thanks, onyx.

This is where I wonder does FISA come in. Getting arrest warrants from regular DC judges might be impossible.

[AndyJackson]

We want scalps. And Nunes, cut the IC budget 10% until the IC coughs up all guilty parties. A cut like that will cause enormous infighting.

[Shadow44]

Priebus is a mole, so of course he’ll go last.

[AndyJackson]

Kellyanne should have kept Her mouth shut on Flynn. I’ll cut her some slack,but I was disappointed.

Finally, a Republican speaking up. GO NUNES GO

[RC one]

Anybody protecting the leakers identity seems like fair game too.

[Parley Baer]

One more thing. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been very quiet going about his business. I would not be surprised to her something from him in the next week or two.

Leaked -

Dec - Flynn Russian call

Jan - Yemen operation

Jan - Calls with foreign leaders

Only transcripts are leaked. It means some mid level bureaucrat/techie is involved who had access to Defense, CIA, State Department. Which means NSA.

[Theoria]

Congressman Nunes needs to resign. He doesn't understand that Congress itself authorized the NSA to collect and store data on foreigners, governments officials or spies, without the need for a warrant. Obama expanded the use of the NSA in 2011 for such provisions.

Nunes voted for the expansion in 2008.

Of course they would record and collection the data of any Russian government agent that Flynn was corresponding too.

As AG Sessions pointed out, if you don't like the law, repeal it.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

Yes, go after the leakers.

Then go after Obama and Clinton.

Bring them down. This will not stop until they are brought to their knees.

If I ever hear Trump say how wonderful they are again I am going to call the White House and blow a gasket.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

You are singing my song.

Why???

[Vendome]

Wait.... You know there are, specifically 9 leakers?

Name em...

[dsm69]

those who leaked the contents of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s phone calls “belong in jail.”

Yes they do. They are in violation of the National Security Act and face year of imprisonment for leaking Classified Material as this information was indeed classified

They (Federal Government Law Enforcement) also need to go after the MSM #fakenews "journalists" who possessed and reported on this classified information. They also violated National Security Act by being in possession of and disseminating this classified information - could face several years imprisonment!!

Priebus is a mole, so of course he’ll go last.

Do you have proof of that?

[ZULU]

If any of this can be traced back to Obama or Soros, they need to be arrested, thrown in prison in solitary confinement and tried for treason.
