Team Obama was spying broadly on the incoming administration.
California Rep. Adam Schiff may not offer much by way of substance, but give him marks for political flimflam. The ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee was so successful at ginning up fake outrage over his Republican counterpart that he successfully buried this week’s only real (and bombshell) news.
Mr. Schiff and fellow Democrats spent this week accusing Chairman Devin Nunes of carrying water for President Trump, undermining the committee’s Russia investigation, and hiding information. The press dutifully regurgitated the outrage, as well as Mr. Schiff’s calls for Mr. Nunes to recuse himself from the investigation into possible Russian electoral meddling.
All this engineered drama served to deep-six the important information Americans urgently deserve to know. Mr. Nunes has said he has seen proof that the Obama White House surveilled the incoming administration—on subjects that had nothing to do with Russia—and that it further unmasked (identified by name) transition officials. This is goes far beyond a mere scandal. It’s a potential crime.
Mr. Nunes earlier this week got his own source to show him a treasure trove of documents at a secure facility. Here are the relevant details:
First, there were dozens of documents with information about Trump officials. Second, the information these documents contained was not related to Russia. Third, while many reports did “mask” identities (referring, for instance, to “U.S. Person 1 or 2”) they were written in ways that made clear which Trump officials were being discussed. Fourth, in at least one instance, a Trump official other than Mr. Flynn was outright unmasked. Finally, these documents were circulated at the highest levels of government.
To sum up, Team Obama was spying broadly on the incoming administration.

4 am bump ...
Somewhere out there, somebody in the mainstream is going to break with the Democrats and Media (but I repeat myself), start practicing actual journalism, and make a name for himself or herself by revealing the truth about Obama and the Democrats' criminality and subversion of the federal government.
The desire for fame and fortune will overcome Establishment indoctrination, and this person (or group of people) will blow this story wide open, to the point where it can no longer be ignored or denied.
And on that day, I shall rejoice...
I mean Mr Nunes..
Shouldn’t the FBI and the other intelligence agencies be recusing themselves from this investigation?
Bump
Wow, bump. Today is gonna be crazy.
thanks for first laugh of my day :)
It’s happening!
Looks like Kimberly Strassel is one of the few remaining truth tellers at WSJ.
But the media and the Dems will cling to all they have: if it didn't include "wiretapping" Trump was lying.
I wonder how many will get to testify vs show up in body bags. This could get ugly fast, if true.(and I have little doubt that it is)
These documents were not only circulated within the government, Obama changed rules at the end of his administration to advance this, nothing else was going on in his final days.
Additionally, they were leaked unmasked to the partisan media. Crime + crime = crime.
Yes, the press included the Wall Street Journal....it published an editorial slamming Trump called "A President's Credibility".
There is a reason why HRC said if DJT won, that all of their necks would be in nooses.
I bet we only even know .001% of all their evil.
Yep
Of course, this could be the WSJ’s sick idea of an April Fools Day joke.
