House Intelligence Committee sends subpoenas to intel agencies
Three of the nation’s intelligence agencies received subpoenas Wednesday afternoon issued by the House Intelligence Committee, Fox News has confirmed, with each of the three demands for documents explicitly naming three top officials of the Obama administration: Susan Rice, who served as President Obama’s White House national security adviser; former CIA Director John Brennan; and former U.N. ambassador Samantha Power.
The inclusion of Power’s name on the subpoenas marks the first appearance of the former U.N. ambassador in the controversy surrounding the Obama administration’s use of unmasking.
Capitol Hill sources told Fox News they are devoting increasing scrutiny to Power – a former historian and winner of the Pulitzer Prize who worked as a foreign policy adviser in the Senate office of Barack Obama before joining his administration – because they have come to see her role in the unmasking as larger than previously known, and eclipsing those of the other former officials named.
Like I've been saying... they (the Dems) should have taken the free pass. It was done, there wouldn't have been an investigation, HRC would have been free and clear, and now there's a good chance Obama will be sucked into this.
People wanted a Watergate sized scandal... they may have gotten it and far more.

Because of the slow walking obstruction from the Dems there are still hundreds of Obama holdovers which should have been long gone. Guaranteed the leaks are in that crowd.

If the unmasking went through proper channels and to the proper agencies who did the masking, really not a problem. Not saying its right, but if done using the proper procedures no foul.

Where in the world are you getting this from?

That would require actually reading more than a headline and imagining what the story is.
Not fully knowing House rules, since he is not on the Ruskie panel due to his midnight tango at the whitehouse why does he still sign supeonas? Or is it a different committee?
Good questions guys
If this answers any of your questions.
Unmasked = is a form of leaking
The three subpoenas, among a total of seven signed by panel chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), were served on the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency, and all three explicitly referenced “unmasking” – a signal that the House panel is intensifying its investigation into allegations that Obama-era aides improperly demanded the “unmasking” of names of associates of President Trump that had appeared, in coded form, in classified intelligence reports, then leaked the data to news media organizations.
