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.

More reason the media covers it up.
BOOM, once again the media has it 180 degress backwards.
She said in a screaming rant at Donna Brazille back stage following the Town Hall thing she and Trump held with Matt Lauer.
What I’m waiting for! The first littler rats that sing and the first reporters announcing it will be ‘first in’’, and will most benefit financially from it. I think.
In the end, the news media is a pack of vultures, and dead meat is dead meat.
Good I hope they follow up on these leads..
***Nunes needs Trey Gowdy. Big Time. Get Gowdy on board.***
Good luck. Apparently he has to see a crime with his own eyes before he’ll believe there is one.
Speaking of getting ugly fast, last night it was reported that Flynn was seeking protection in exchange for testifying. I believe it was immunity that was mentioned, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted other kinds of protection.
They’ve done that for years.
Yeah. Surprised the higher up let this through. Must be some real meat behind this and the WSJ doesn’t want to be behind the 8 ball.
Your remark is without substance just screwy ideas about the identity of the two parties.
There are editors who decide how and what is going to be published.
Why don’t you listen to the many criminals Gowdy has put in jail before making a stupid remark like that.
Bttt!
Something will come of this, just like the IRS scandAl.
