Herridge said that identifying the American caller for surveillance purposes, in this case Flynn, "needs sign-off at the highest levels."
House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said authorization would have been needed to unmask Flynn's name.
"If in fact the press reports are right, someone made the decision to deliberately listen to General Flynn's phone calls," said Nunes, calling it "unprecedented, unwarranted and flat-out wrong."

Oops. Sorry about the double post. I couldn’t see that the first one went through.
Lock her up!
You have any info on the whereabouts of the demo House intel members IT “shared employees” the Pakistani brothers who were “fired”? Were they put under arrest or detention? Because in certain informed circles, they are thought to be part of the muslim brotherhood links that “blew” the operation in Yemen two weeks ago, which killed another US Navy Seal, Owens, God Rest his Soul.
I’d like to know where the hell they are— and they had better be in Gitmo— soon. This is serious infiltration. When you look into it, be sure to listen to security cleared member of the House Intel Committee, Maxine Waters— being interviewed by Russian hackers— it is beyond stupidity on her part and while being entertaining, it is also horrifying. What did Obamaumao know and when did he know it? What did Maxine EVER know, and when did she EVER know it? LOL.
Agree. Big boy pants needed— Battle Dress Uniform. A (cold) civil war.. something people can understand, but first must have the balls to stop whining and get to work (preparing, activating, legally supporting our opposition). Our congress peeps had better “get” this. It doesn’t seem to be so (listening to Linda Graham pontificate— she/he who is so much a part of the deep state supporters, those who consider us the peasant class). Thank you!
I normally don't reply to those who seem a little slow on the uptake, but I'll make an exception in this one particular case. Here's a red-pill for you to ponder the truth:
You (or anyone else) won't be prepared to successfully join the battles to be waged to save the republic as long as you continue to emotionally react to the deep state.
This includes Hussein, Hillary and an army of other fellow travelers who are still intent on 'fundamentally transforming the USA'.
Rather than letting the likes of Barry live in your head rent free, how about recognizing the deep state is an enemy that represents an existential threat to freedom & liberty?
Move past the outrage, and start coming to grips that this will be a long (cold) civil war. If you cannot reform your attitude, then you're either a loser or a mole who's intent is to continue to emotionally impair others with the same incessant whining and complaining.
Which are you?
bill clintoonian on the tarmac meet with Atty Gen. Lynch— from billy boy’s mouth to Lynch to obamaumao’s ears— it has this sort of arkancide methodology... all by “word of mouth”, gets a Leftist Star Chamber Court to take action against private citizens (who happen to be in Trump’s campaign). When one considers that the clintoons are w/out question REDs— this makes this a double-double operation. Insidious.
Remembering Carol Browner of the EPA— “nothing in writing” and nothing online. Ah, but the phone, and the overhead speakers on clintoonian’s aircraft (recorded? I wonder, and hope, too!) thanks!
The hand-wringers, chaise-fainters and pearl-clutchers on FR are on my last nerve, too. Especially those who trash anybody who dared work in .gov natsec during the 8 years of W: according to them they shoulda just sat it out all the years between Reagan and Trump, worked at Home Depot or something.
Traceable, yes, but only by people in the same agency who are willing to do it. They are nearly all on the side of protecting the deep state.
George Smiley. Ok? Quite prepared.
That’s the beauty of it: Trump can say to the zeroist holdovers ‘hey, we don’t want or need your data, it’s proven useless for national security, anyway, so why don’t you quit now and try selling your skills elsewhere. I got the best data I need, and it does NOT come from you.’
Then he can call up any enemy’s leader and say ‘OK, we’re gonna work on improving our relationship WITHOUT our intel jerks sabotaging it at every turn.’
Too true— “pearl-clutchers”. Love it. Less emotion, more education and therefore an action plan. Have noticed noone, especially the “pearl clutchers” want to read about the real world, and the sticky commodity of true facts. Rooting out the traitors and 5th column will take some serious sober work.
Admire the natsec people who worked from Reagan through the dismantling of Reagan’s (Casey) policies by Bush I, the clintoon criminals and their cartel, and the unfortunate W (who, without 9-11, would have been a one termer). Especially friends who worked against Fidel and Raul, and their gulag (family reasons for the “especially”). Sub-rosa must have been, to say the least, difficult.
But will Trump and the Republicans just have another costly investigation where they do nothing, or will someone actually be charged this time? Because quite frankly, I don’t believe we’ll ever see Justice in this country again.
And as ecstatic as I am that Trump won, he shouldn’t have accepted Flynn’s resignation, that was a win for fake media. And quite frankly, the fire in his belly we heard during the campaign seems gone. And I’m not happy about what’s going on in the State Dept and the illegals flooding in and Tillerson’s apparent inability to stop this mess. I’m not saying this to throw stones, I’m saying this because my fear factor is going up.
So you don’t believe that this was a question of trust? Then you don’t know Trump.
Had Flynn been forthcoming with Pence, he’d have his job today. And screw the media and all deep state scalawags. They don’t have the power and victory they are claiming.
How do you judge Trump so badly now barely three weeks into his Presidency? Get a grip, already.
That Trump guy sure surrounds himself with some stupid people!
< /SARC>
Exactly what has been bothering me about the whole mess.
WHO authorized surveillance on Flynn???
“I’m saying this because my fear factor is going up.”
That’s healthy. I do not trust any politican of any stripe ... they all have an agenda, and it only coincides with ours at certain points ... is DJT different? Wait and see, but be prepared if he is not. I hope he is, but it is too soon too know. Was that fire real or just for show? Who knows?
I think that too. It snowballed when they leaked it.
50 U.S. Code § 1802
(a)
(2)An electronic surveillance authorized by this subsection [without a FISC warrarnt] may be conducted only in accordance with the Attorney General’s certification and the minimization procedures adopted by him. The Attorney General shall assess compliance with such procedures and shall report such assessments to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence under the provisions of section 1808(a) of this title.
In other words, not only does it require a (written) certification by the AG, but must be reported to the House and Senate Select Committees on Intelligence. According to statements from the House Chairman, that did not happen.
So it isn't required only suggested by the law. :)
