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.”

Agreed.
you have a link I can look at regarding your comment? thx
Just like with the Wikileaks revelations, it’s important to now ignore the message and go after the messenger. Quid pro quo.
I think Trump caved to make the IC think they won the battle, Trump WILL NOW start feeding out false info to certain people in IC and when it gets leaked he will know who the BASTARDS are!!! I look for Flynn to return, Flynn KNOWS the IC probably will place him there to keep an eye on things!!! I think the conversation about the sanctions was probably just in passing no deals being made he should have been honest with VP but maybe he didn’t remember the sanctions being mentioned!!! NO ONE as of yet has seen the transcript of the call, however the thing that really scares me is these BASTARDS in the IC can MAKE UP paper trails or transcripts of ANYTHING!!!! I would hope that the Ruskies also had transcripts, at this point I would believe the Ruskies over our OWN DAMNED IC!!!!
For later.

Geese eartick our AG has ONLY been in office for 3 working days and you are already SCREAMING about HELLARY not being prosecuted, REALLY give the guy a DAMNED chance to get his office organized for crying out loud!!!
Aside from that, he is correct on the leakers being held accountable.
These liberal leaker turds need to be rooted out and thrown in prison.
No, just whispers.
Priebus is going to be fired soon though. Don’t be surprised when it happens.
He’s been caught too many times having his own agenda and sabotaging things.
What you said.
I often ponder what would this country be like today IF the current crop of ‘media’ had been in place during WWII?
They cannot keep their mouths shut.
We would be speaking German or Japanese...or both.
You do not need an AG to follow that ugly worm into the hole.
Are you going to deny President Trump did not say he was not going to prosecute Hillary Rodham Clinton? Or are you going to say that he supported Hillary Rodham Clinton in her quest for her Senate seat seat in New York?
Let me know in a screaming reply
The government also enforced censorship laws, which haven’t been repeated since then, maybe they did in Korea I’m not sure.
Vietnam didn’t, which is when things started to go downhill.
Just remember WHY and HOW 9/11 was able to be done, that nobody is talking about !!!
AND effectively DRAIN THE SWAMP !!!
News flash! LOTS of people “belong” in jail. The fact that they are not in jail IS THE PROBLEM!
