>The Republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee asked U.S. spy agencies late last year to reveal the names of U.S. individuals or organizations contained in classified intelligence on Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, engaging in the same practice that President Trump has accused the Obama administration of abusing, current and former officials said.
>The chairman of the committee, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), has since cast the practice of “unmasking” U.S. individuals and organizations in classified reports as an abuse of surveillance powers by the outgoing Obama administration.
>Trump has argued that investigators should focus their attention on former officials leaking names from intelligence reports, rather than whether the Kremlin coordinated its activities with the Trump campaign, an allegation he has denied. “The big story is the ‘unmasking and surveillance’ of people that took place during the Obama administration,” Trump tweeted Thursday.
>According to a tally by U.S. spy agencies, the House Intelligence Committee requested five to six unmaskings of U.S. organizations or individuals related to Trump or Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton between June 2016 and January 2017. [...] In contrast to the committee’s handful of unmasking requests, officials said the tally showed that Rice requested a single unmasking related to Trump’s activities between June and January.
HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
How can Nunes be so fucking inept that he REEEEEEEEs about unmasking so much that someone points out his own committee did it in 20 fucking 16
Nunes is a hack and shameless Trump shill. He will do anything so long as it props Trump up.
Levi Bailey
I'm just waiting for Sup Forums to point out why this is somehow different and why Rice was wrong to request a single unmasking while the Republican-controlled IC requested multiple
Blake Miller
This article is what they call throwing shade on Nunes It's an insulting article and who the fuck knows whether it's true or not. It's basically an insult to make him look bad and untrustworthy
Ryan King
>n-no comment nunes is literally shaking right now
Logan Cruz
Was he projecting this whole time while running interference for the White House?
They wont. This thread isnt going to make it to the top. Theyll just sage it and put their blinders on.
Isaiah Hughes
Yeah, it's pretty funny
Eli Bell
What happened to George Montgomery?
Kayden Flores
It's what we call in the biz a nothingburger
Jayden Wilson
no i don't think it is
Kayden Rogers
>According to a tally by U.S. spy agencies ignored
Luke Rodriguez
Judicial watch were the only retards that tried to make it a big deal. Montgomery took his "evidence" to law Enforcement and they laughed at him because it was dumb
Isaac Jackson
so you think he never worked for the NSA / CIA? that he fabricated evidence? that he lied about evidence? that the evidence is inconsequential?
Jason Nguyen
isnt that why nunes sent the subpoena to agencies in the 1st place? to get a tally of unmasking
Brayden Cox
How thick-skulled are you?
They want the list because they want to know if the Obama government was illegally spying on individuals for political reasons the same way they used the IRS to fuck people over.
Dominic Reyes
I believe it's nothing, it was big on here for 3 days because Obama was in Tahiti and then people forgot about it because it was bullshit
Julian Long
In an era where NSLs can gag someone for years and in all likelihood people were murdered in the run-up to the election I don't think we have the ability to presume that silence equals nothing.
If you haven't listened to the Fruit of the Poisonous Tree recordings, highly recommended.
Cooper Miller
Nunes requested 5 to 6 times the amount of unmasking as Rice
Jaxson Barnes
He told his story and no one believed it because its not believable
Adrian Lewis
oh no looks like Drumf is going down woo this is it the big one and then yass queen will be say it with me madame 7 o'clock tomorrow morning wiooooo
hopes are up yasss
Thomas Cox
What is even the purpose of this type of trolling. Is it supposed to make me believe things are going well for the republican party?
Jordan Brooks
according to obomamouse sorcerers yassss
Adrian Watson
which part is unbelievable, specifically
Eli Robinson
yasssss such a genious question quweeenn!! you with her queennn???!!!
Cameron Rivera
Can you come at me with an argument or is this what trump supporters have resorted to.
Cooper Hill
yasss!!! you with me with her queeennn?? hiilll 2016 woooo!!! glass ceiling!!!!
Mason Smith
Was this information used maliciously or to undermine the people in the reports? So far that sounds like a no.
Lucas King
noooo im with you with her slayyy queennn!!!!
Nathan Evans
CNN told me unmasking is a non-issue.
Sage.
Gabriel Morris
That he has info that could bring down a president, it's laughable
Connor Watson
apples to oranges.
He had asked for unmasking for a few people.
Obama unmasked names and let everyone he appointed read transcripts of taps with names unmasked.
Nunes: unmask names for people in congress with high level security clearance
Obama and Rice: unmask names for Obama's appointees, so they could leak them.
Besides, he probably asked for unmasked names at the behest of the Obama administration.
Nathaniel Ward
Nunes asked to unmask 5-6 people while rice unmasked 1, flynn
Kevin Russell
shariablue shills being equivocal about the unmasking scandal.
Christian Johnson
ok that was never the claim.
Joshua Anderson
You are forgetting the entire Trump team.
She unmasked transcripts of Trump surveillance and let every Obama political appointee read them... so they could leak them.
What sort of leaks have come out of Nunes compared to the leaks that are due to Rice?
Nunes: no leaks Rice: fountain of leaks.
Adrian Green
Rice unmasked far more. The fisa court docents show hundreds of masking by "obama admin officals" as well as obama admin giving access to 702 data to ngos. Rice and crew are all going to prison unless trump takes the program over which will be far worse for you and the nation.
Jonathan Fisher
maybe because they were talking to Russian spies and sanctioned businesses, you dumb faggot >Obama is hiding out in Tahiti kys
Michael Davis
It's not an issue to sharia blue until a R does it...
Unmasking is legal if done properly. This includes Susan Rice.
Nothing to talk about until things play-out.
Liam Jones
so it was justified? KEK, no.
Trump should send every liberal to jail for colluding for foreign national Mexicans and illegal aliens.
Why don't liberals get in trouble for colluding with foreigners to subvert US immigration laws?
Yes, people are unmasked when a crime is being committed
Michael Kelly
Can't wait for proof of all that
I'll see it any day now
Aaron Adams
What's the context? He requested it but we're these requests filled? He didn't just unmasking, it looks like he was going through the proper channels. Now if it comes out that it's an abuse of authority, then he should be held accountable, just like everyone else.
