Many pieces of the spying scandal on Trump are emerging today.
We know from both Mike Cernovich on Twitter (yes, he DOES have good info) and Eli Lake that Susan Rice requested the names in the "surveillance" to be "unmasked" (i.e., for the people on the wiretaps to be laid naked to the world).
We know Rice's name is on a security log somewhere, as per all rules, regulations, and practicies, in which she asked for said "unmasking." We, or the FBI if it ever chooses to do its job, can find said log very easily.
We know---that is, any sane person knows---that she could not have done this without Zero's complicit approval or a direct order.
We know this was done early, before Trump was the nominee, and so far we do NOT have any evidence that Yeb, Cruz, or Kasich were similarly "surveilled," leading me to think that the Dems ONLY feared Trump.
We know, as per A. J. Strata (http://strata-sphere.com/blog/index.php/archives/22109) that in fact the Russians didn't "spy" on anyone, that it was a PRIVATE CONTRACTOR beholden to the Dem Party, and that it was the Russians who WARNED Trump he was being spied upon.
There is a fascinating Twitter thread today from Jonathan Langdale: https://twitter.com/LarrySchweikart/status/848881406935564288
Langdale treats this like he was "imagining an argument" yet Flynn retweets and TO ME this sounds like in fact he had an extensive conversation with Flynn and that he produced this "imaginary" conversation that likely just happened.
Rush, Cernovich, Posebiac, many on Twitter, and Drudge had this really by last week. Yesterday, Fox began to run with it. Bloomberg today. Likely WSJ and a couple of other left-center rags will come out tomorrow.
The fake news media is now being forced into actually covering UNDENIABLE news that is 100% contrary to their preferences, or they will further descend into complete irrelevance.
Now, does Trump have the guts to prosecute? Yes, I think. But will it go far? Depends on, unfortunately, the Senate and crazy members of the House. Will they support a LEGIT investigation of Zero, and the leaking and the unmasking, or will idiots like McTurd obstruct? My fear is that McTurd and Grahamnesty will join an "impeach" chorus rather than seek real justice.
We all know---all reasonable people on both sides of the aisle know---this is treason. This is far worse than Watergate.
Call me cynical, but I think what we will find, if the truth is exposed, is that “unmasked” intelligence being passed around to parties which under law should not have access to it, is commonplace and routine.
After all, who would hold someone to account for violating the law?
Agree. And I think that’s why Egg McMuffin actually got involved—because he was the spook contingent trying to keep Trump out.
I'd like to see grand jury indictments. You don't need Congress for that.
I don't think this is the kind of thing that even the media can give a pass on.
So sad, the MSM refuses to report anything that supports Trump and prefers to manufacture fake news to attack him. The MSM has already decline into irrelevance, they just don't realize it.
From what I’ve read Obama has escaped to some place in the Pacific with which we’ve no extradition treaty. Other potential suspects/witnesses may be in hiding as well.
The Langdale tweets aren’t clear to me - is he just theorizing or was there some actual confirmation? The theory he puts forth makes sense...
What do you think the timeframe was for the surveillance Rice unmasked? In other words, when did they begin to be worried enough about Trump that she unmasked him?
He's been rather quiet today.
How many in government are striving to avoid scrutiny of their felonies? Many are turning to anything (impeachment?) to escape their own unmasking and parade before the bench.
It might matter if Session’s hadn’t already succumbed to media pressure by recusing himself.
Now there are TWO Matt Drudges, not just one.
And I think that’s why Egg McMuffin actually got involvedWho is Egg McMuffin?
This kind of juvenile crap takes away from the seriousness of the issue and gives YOU no credibility...at all.
Call me when Craig Livingstone is indicted.................
Then don’t read me.
I thought I read that Rice requested the unmasking after the election....no?
Maybe people can now count to three before they have something stupid to say about him. His Periscopes drive me nuts but something interesting usually comes out of them.
Now, does Trump have the guts to prosecute? Yes, I think. But will it go far? Depends on, unfortunately, the Senate and crazy members of the House. Will they support a LEGIT investigation of Zero, and the leaking and the unmasking, or will idiots like McTurd obstruct?

The Fake news media will continue to lie and dissemble. That is what they do.
Finding honest, courageous people to prosecute may be difficult. They will immediately be threatened.
It is amazing that Trump has accomplished what he has so far.
If any other politicians were attacked, threatened and lied about like Trump is they would be incapacitated with fear.
Trump is standing up to the evil and dishonesty among the Washington elite.
Let us hope Trump is able to continue the struggle.
Don’t be so sure-—I hear that his recusal was specifically so that he would be a WITNESS. Don’t always think people are backing down. There is strategy involved.
