Big freaking ruh roh: Intel Chair pretty sure FBI had no warrant to record Flynn

[tinydancer]

It looks like we are going to get our own Capitol Hill version of Swamp people. Aaaaayeeeeee! It's not only time to drain the swamp but to hook every leaking low down critter and drag em out.

There's got to be a political version Troy Landry in Washington who can finally nail the leakers in the Intelligence community.

Laissez les bons temps rouler baby!




“Any intelligence agency cannot listen to Americans’ phone calls,” Nunes told reporters Tuesday night. “If there’s inadvertent collection that you know is overseas there’s a whole process in place for that.”

He explained, “It’s pretty clear that’s not the case, so then they could have been listening to someone else and inadvertently picked up an American.

If that happens, there’s a whole process in place to where they have to immediately get rid of the information unless it’s like high level national security issue and then someone would have to unmask the name — someone at the highest levels.”

“So in this case it would be General Flynn and then how did that happen. T

hen if they did that, then how does all that get out to the public which is another leak of classified information,” Nunes added.

“I’m pretty sure the FBI didn’t have a warrant on Michael Flynn.”

The obvious answer is that they were monitoring the Russian ambassador's calls, and Flynn got caught.

In the Japanese islands during WWII the Japanese soldiers dug into the tunnels had to be removed/killed with flamethrowers. President Trump has to do this exact thing with the CIA Obama holdovers. He needs to erase any employee hired by Obama.
"Oh, you were hired/suggested by Obama? That's Great. goodbye!"

The problem is that McConnell only wants investigations that he can control - and they won't be public hearings.

Read what he says about the procedures in place. FBI has some splaining to do. They are going to be investigated. Period full stop.

What happened here is what happens in police states.

Normally intercepts of U.S. officials and citizens are some of the most tightly held government secrets. This is for good reason. Selectively disclosing details of private conversations monitored by the FBI or NSA gives the permanent state the power to destroy reputations from the cloak of anonymity. This is what police states do.

"In the past it was considered scandalous for senior U.S. officials to even request the identities of U.S. officials incidentally monitored by the government (normally they are redacted from intelligence reports).

John Bolton's nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations was derailed in 2006 after the NSA confirmed he had made 10 such requests when he was Undersecretary of State for Arms Control in George W. Bush's first term.

The fact that the intercepts of Flynn's conversations with Kislyak appear to have been widely distributed inside the government is a red flag.

Representative Devin Nunes, the Republican chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told me Monday that he saw the leaks about Flynn's conversations with Kislyak as part of a pattern.

"There does appear to be a well orchestrated effort to attack Flynn and others in the administration," he said.

"From the leaking of phone calls between the president and foreign leaders to what appears to be high-level FISA Court information, to the leaking of American citizens being denied security clearances, it looks like a pattern."

Get the ******* bastards!

You mean a government agency acts inappropriately by disclosing information that it has never disclosed before for political gain, even though there is no credible information from the agency, which it later confirms?

Yes, I can understand why you'd be upset over James Comey's FBI revelation of Hillary Clinton's emails.




Oh wait, that's not what you are talking about, is it?

Once again for the slow and amazingly stupid, the incoming admin is allowed to have conversations with foreign Governments to INCLUDE what they may or may nor do in regards to current sanctions or policy.

Hillary's sex tapes, while she was a private citizen, with the ambassador of a foreign country we aren't exactly friendly with? Yes, if they also discussed matters of state and made promises that deliberately undermined the sitting president.

The obvious answer is that they were monitoring the Russian ambassador's calls, and Flynn got caught.

And then they couldn't wait to damage Trump by publicizing it which tipped off the Russians to our surveillance.

Dumb

All over a call that very likely happens with different world leaders by every incoming administration.
