What Devin Nunes Knows - WSJ (Strassel)

Wall Street Journal
quote:
Team Obama was spying broadly on the incoming administration.
California Rep. Adam Schiff may not offer much by way of substance, but give him marks for political flimflam. The ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee was so successful at ginning up fake outrage over his Republican counterpart that he successfully buried this week’s only real (and bombshell) news.
Mr. Schiff and fellow Democrats spent this week accusing Chairman Devin Nunes of carrying water for President Trump, undermining the committee’s Russia investigation, and hiding information. The press dutifully regurgitated the outrage, as well as Mr. Schiff’s calls for Mr. Nunes to recuse himself from the investigation into possible Russian electoral meddling.
All this engineered drama served to deep-six the important information Americans urgently deserve to know. Mr. Nunes has said he has seen proof that the Obama White House surveilled the incoming administration—on subjects that had nothing to do with Russia—and that it further unmasked (identified by name) transition officials. This is goes far beyond a mere scandal. It’s a potential crime.
Mr. Nunes earlier this week got his own source to show him a treasure trove of documents at a secure facility.
Here are the relevant details:
First, there were dozens of documents with information about Trump officials. Second, the information these documents contained was not related to Russia. Third, while many reports did “mask” identities (referring, for instance, to “U.S. Person 1 or 2”) they were written in ways that made clear which Trump officials were being discussed. Fourth, in at least one instance, a Trump official other than Mr. Flynn was outright unmasked. Finally, these documents were circulated at the highest levels of government.
To sum up, Team Obama was spying broadly on the incoming administration.

None of these alleged facts on their face indicate that anything improper, much less illegal, took place.
Where's the beef?

You trust Mika & Joe to tell the truth?

This is well written and Strassel lays out the case for Nunes actions. The melt will be glorious when the sunlight on the Obama admin makes cockroaches scatter

Cool. Let's see it. Lock em up.

Explains why Schiff is attacking Nunes .....he needs to discredit the guy before the information leaks out.
If what Strassel says is true, Obama, will be looking at retirement on an estate on Molokai where he really does not receive many visitors....too bad the leper colony there closed

I actually trust Scarborough to have momentary episodes of ludidity.....but Mika's jewelry box I suspect, is a powerful thing
