Espionage.... Intelligence leaked. That has happened several times and now that Sessions is sworn in the House is requesting the IG to investigate the leaks.

It's simple to find because only a small number of people would have the clearance to warrantlessly wire tap Trump and his team!

t looks bad when you care more about the source of the leaks than the content of the leaks, amirite?


Both are important.

Can you now please link the full content of the leaks?

Has it been reported who placed the call to whom? Just curious.



I think there were more than 1, but I don't know the answer as to who called who in which instance.

This will blow up on the Democrats. It had to have come from the Acting Ag that Trump fired last week.

Ask WaPo...they didnt publish the info they had.

Instead, they published their analysis of the information.

We know Flynn felt the need to lie about it. Reason to investigate imo


Already investigated and no charges....

like Obama in 2008 before being inaugurated?


So that justifies Trump to do the same?

But is a part of the DOJ. :)

Trump lies
His staff lies

I would be surprised if it really came from Yates.

I think it's politically iffy for both sides. The GOP will look mildly stupid pursuing the leaks behind Flynn getting canned for some degree of misconduct (misconduct =/= criminality). The left will look stupid for overplaying a scandal hand, something the GOP knows well about over the last 8 years.

There's a 90% chance this is what the conversation went like.

Russian Guy: Hey so Flynn, can we do anything about these sanctions?

Flynn: Yeah man we're obviously gonna look at things like that after the inauguration.






Butthurt Obama appointees and MSM: Flynn talked about Sanctions!!!!!!!!!


Pence to Flynn: You talk about sanction?

Flynn to Pence: No dude.



Butthurt Obama appointees and MSM: Flynn is a liar!!!!!!!!



So then I presume you would have no problem with an in-depth investigation to make sure?

That's a fact and verified by a lot of people today including the architect of the NSA and AGs across the US.

People are saying Obama's side, but that really could mean any careerist at DOJ with access who is sanctimonious about the threat Trump poses. I'm not convinced it has to be some Obama loyalist.

For example, the IC elements who are opposing Trump, in significant part, probably aren't Obama fans.
