Full transcript: FBI Director James Comey testifies on Russian interference in 2016 election
Rep. Jim Himes (D) who sits on the House intel committee stated the leak of Flynn was a felony.
Check out 8:00 and 9:00 mark:
Everyone agreed that the leak was a felony. Now you're trying to pretend it didn't even happen. Why would that be? Because since then it's become totally obvious that it was Obama political appointees that circulated the information and leaked it to the media.
No, they agreed if it was illegally leaked, it was a felony. They have yet to determine who the leaker is, under what circumstances it was leaked, and if it was leaked illegally or not.
It was leaked, that is a fact.
The newspaper that first reported it said the source was a "high ranking government official".
Ok this thread is RETARDED.
1. Unmasking IS NOT "wiretapping" in any sense of the word. (It is further not illegal under certain situations and would be covered by whistleblower protections)
2. The claim by Trump is not just wiretapping, the claim was that OBAMA, that sick sick ************, ordered politically motivated surveillance of Trump and his campaign.
FBI and Republicans have unanimously called the charge completely BASELESS bs and NOTHING has changed to this day.
FBI has also stated that Trump compaign is UNDER INVESTOGATION FOR COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA. So yes, OF COURSE FBI, is fully expected to surveil targets in the admin relavant to investigation with FISA court blessing.
