The Kremlin meddling in our elections is really, really important.
Fair elections are the bedrock of our nation. If a foreign state is meddling in our elections, we need to know about it and figure out how to keep it from happening again.
It matters.
There are Constitutional issues at stake as well.
Whether the intel community passed around information that has American names unmasked is small potatoes. Really.
Perhaps it could be the focus of a future Congressional inquiry.
This one is about the Kremlin meddling in our elections.
Thing is, the Russian deal was a set up....
Malware planted on a Trump Tower computer server, to mimic Russian ties.
Rogers said the number of people who have unmasking authority was limited in the NSA to about 20 people, while FBI Director James Comey said there were necessarily many more in the FBI who could do so because the agency's work involves domestic affairs.
Also this is relevant:
Quote:
If the NSA picks up communications from a US citizen in the course of monitoring a foreign national, it is practice to "mask" the identity of the US person. Additionally, the identification of a US citizen mentioned in discussions between two foreign nationals is supposed to be masked.
Except the one point y'all keep on passing over which is that Nunes clearly said that what he saw had NOTHING to do with the Russian investigation which is what they are looking into.
Accidentally overlooking that little item or do y'all have another agenda?
You can underline it, capitalize it, but in bold and italics, but Nunse still had no business trotting over to Trump with this information from the intelligence services.
Congress has a Constitutional responsibility to oversee the executive branch, not run cover for it.

There was nothing clear about what Mr. Nunes said.

...I’ve asked the directors of FBI, NSA, and CIA to expeditiously comply with my March 15th letter that you all received a couple of weeks ago, and provide a full account of these surveillance activities. I informed Speaker Ryan this morning of this information, and I will be going to the White House this afternoon to share what I know with the president and his team. Before I get to questions I want to say that, uh, as you know there has been what appears to be a terrorist attack in the United Kingdom, obviously very concerned and our thoughts and prayers go out to our strong friends and allies over across the pond.
Re: underlined: Mr Nunes went to his political boss Speaker of the House Paul Ryan for advice about what to do.
One thing is clear, Mr Nunes should recuse himself from any further investigations.
Wonder how this plays into things. Letter was sent the day after the first hearings. It says whistleblower Montgomery has been trying to get his findings investigated for the last two years, and when they weren't brought up in the hearings, it was decided that if this isn't addressed in the next hearings, his findings might be made public.

Mr Nunes and Schiff both of them should recuse or show the proof of their allegations. There are so many committee members openly talking about lot of stuff. We seem to have suddenly problem with Nunes. He should release full report it to public.

Freedom Watch claims Dennis Montgomery left the CIA and NSA with 47 hard drives and over 600 million page of documents, much of it classified, that he insists shows "rampant illegal and unconstitutional surveillance" of Americans and prominent citizens.
It goes on for pages and the RW sites are all over it.
