Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility

It's a room where peeps can discuss stuff with zero possibility of being overheard and recorded. Allegedly, even from the US infelligence services. Although I wouldn't bet real money on that...

... Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security. Before that, she was Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick’s homeland security advisor. She has also served as a member of the National Commission on Terrorism, a legal advisor to US Attorney General Janet Reno, and a trial attorney and counselor in the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department.

She is currently a faculty member at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and has authored several books on homeland security.

She sounds quite special!

I've chatted with her on occasion, and she is the real deal.

It's plain as day.

And this memo... who actually wrote it? Who had access to the classified materials????

To me, that is the real question.
How and from whom was this intelligence obtained?
And why was it given to Nunes rather then the head of the FBI?

Donald J. Trump. There's not a doubt in my mind that he ordered it. Now, who put the bug in his ear to order it? Whoever that person was, has definite ties to Russia.

The House Intelligence Committee issued seven subpoenas for information from several agencies at the end of May, 2017. My guess it that this information was used by Nunes to cobble together this bogus "memo" and had nothing to do with Mueller's investigation or that of the House.

"The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the subpoenas, said that the committee also subpoenaed the National Security Agency (NSA), FBI and CIA for information about "unmasking," that is, the exposure of Trump campaign officials mentioned in classified intelligence reports, based on intercepts of conversations. Names of Americans swept up incidentally in the collection of intelligence are normally masked, or kept redacted, in intelligence briefings, but under the law, national security officials can request that these names be revealed, or unmasked.

The subpoenas related to unmasking, according to the Journal, seek information about requests made by then-National Security Adviser Susan Rice, then-CIA Director John Brennan and then-U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power to unmask names contained in classified documents.

The ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, D-California, had no knowledge of the unmasking subpoenas until the last minute, he told MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports."

"I only learned about this late the night before, and that's a problem," Schiff said Thursday. "And these were sent out unilaterally by the chairman (Rep. Devin Nunes, R-California)."

Like Dean Wormer says to Greg Marmalard in 'Animal House', "put Neidermeyer on it, he's a sneaky little shit". Nunes is the Republican party's Neidermeyer.

This is a replay of the unmasking travesty.

I keep reading on social media about "Russiagate skepticism," which tells us that all of the intelligence agencies, all of the publicly available evidence, all of Mueller's visible actions, and all of the Republicans' undisguised efforts to hobble the investigation re: Russiagate (sic) are based on nothing but wishful Democratic thinking and outright scaremongering.

Why, the late Robert Parry himself was apparently one of these so-called skeptics.

Who am I going to believe? Parry et al, or my own lying eyes?


k/r

if they suspected Nunes of being a Russian tool.

Both Rod Rosenstein and Chris Wray asked Ryan to stop Nunes from looking through classified FBI memos. Ryan refused to act. Why doesn't Ryan rein in Nunes? Is Ryan compromised too?

My guess is that many of the Republicans running interference for Trump are being blackmailed by Putin.

Remember, he got a half million dollar "campaign contribution" from a Russia linked source a few days after the Tax bill was passed.
a campaign contribution for a campaign he is not going to have, since he is "retiring" from congress this year.
His PAC money can go to him when he retires, with a simple bit of paperwork.

> His PAC money can go to him when he retires, with a simple bit of paperwork.

Really? I didn't know that!

Thanks for that!

I was taken aback how simple, and legal, it was.
only caveat...you have to be done campaigning, I think. to move it.

As if someone has a gun to his back or is holding loved one hostage. Adam Schiff said that his behavior is far different from the way he used to act.

that he is more afraid of the Russians than he is of the Justice Department.

Dude is acting like that guy in the movies that the bad guys have his family and are threatening to kill them.

I always say that's what he looks like. I hope he doesn't play poker!

Ha, ha, or "Nice family you have there. It would be a shame if something happened to them."

has to be along the lines of the video from the first season of True Detective.

that their Representative works for Russian intel?

every week. I was hoping they would do that. The San Diego Indivisible group was outside of Issa's local office every Tues for almost a year and now he isn't running for reelection.

Live boy or a dead girl? Or are you betraying your country for something so pedestrian as money?

They are.

Fingers crossed.
