Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward said that allegations from a report that say President Trump's transition team was named in surveillance reports of foreign individuals would be "gross violations."
A couple of diplomats who were legitimately wiretapped were talking about meeting Trump or his team, Woodward said on "The O'Reilly Factor."
However, U.S. intelligence agencies are supposed to comply with "minimization" rules, which protect Americans' names from being published in reports or leaked in any way, he added.
"The idea that there was intelligence value was really thin," Woodward said.
"You've got this really serious problem potentially of people in the Obama administration passing around this highly classified gossip," Woodward said.
He called the leaking of such names "inappropriate" and possibly illegal. If Nunes' statements are true, it would be a "gross violation."
They knew this information was floating around the intelligence agencies, Woodward said. . .

ALPR’s (automatic lic plate readers) along roadways, surveillance drones, Alphabet soup spying on internet/phone/CCard records, fake cell towers (gleaning cell phone data), TSA/DHS body searches, Digital photos/thumb prints on state DLs incorporated into bio-metric data bases...such as facial recognition, alarming increase in swat raids from a few thousand a decade ago to over 85K nationwide.

“And that she was hired,”
Gorelick only income should be from making license plates.

“Nepotism is not a crime.”

If it were, JFK would have been impeached for having his brother Bobby as attorney general.
It’s all over the place, piece after piece after piece, photo after photo, President Trump and Senator Cruz socializing(along with Heidi and daughters) and cooperating with each other and negotiating over differences. It started in the late stage of the campaign and continued through the transition and on several big ticket issues.
It isn’t only them. Rubio and Kasich among other opponents and including the ridiculous Senator from South Carolina who is McCain’s puppy have been treated to dinner with Donald. Remember that craziness between Rubio and Donald? The verbiage? Oh, the insanity.
But that was yesterday, and yesterday’s gone. To quote an old song lyric. The Donald knows this...
I believe that was discussed in the book “Silent Coup.”
That might be happening with this issue too...
That probably would have been me! Good to hear from you again servant. lurkedforadecad aka savant! 777 ;)
Neither am I impressed by her husband, since finding out about his family's political and personal ties.
Now this damned Gorelick crap!
Obviously, I had credited the president with more political astuteness/acumen, than he deserved.
If the Kushners did the deals ( Jared used her too ) sans Trump's knowledge; that's their fault. OTOH....he SHOULD have known about it by now and that he hasn't made them fire her, is his fault...BIG LEAGUE; which is NOT just a "minor flaw"!
No....he can't be impeached over the nepotism thing; that has supposedly been wrangled out. But I don't want Ivanka ( especially since she is his "favorite child" and gets away with everything she wants ) or husband within 100s of miles of D.C. and I want Gorerlick FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SPOT ON !
“He called the leaking of such names “inappropriate” and possibly illegal.”
“Possibly illegal”? It’s 100% Illegal. It’s a FELONY
