FCP Bob 1,312 Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 What should happen first is Nunes, schiff, Burr and Warner needs to go and inspect documents. And the 30 year old is Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the National Security Council’s senior director for intelligence. nstead, we now know Nunes’s sources, and they’re far from disinterested parties. They are Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the National Security Council’s senior director for intelligence, and Michael Ellis, a White House counsel attorney who, prior to the Trump administration, worked for Nunes. Cohen-Watnick uncovered the raw intelligence, according to the Times, and Ellis briefed Nunes on it directly. The Times story, sourced to “current American officials,” also reveals new information about the substance of the calls that Nunes was briefed on. According to the newspaper, the intelligence reports were intercepts of foreign officials’ conversations about the Trump team, not taps on Trump or his associates’ phones (it’s standard practice for US intelligence to spy on high-ranking foreigners). “Officials said the reports consisted primarily of ambassadors and other foreign officials talking about how they were trying to develop contacts within Mr. Trump’s family and inner circle in advance of his inauguration,” the Times’s Matthew Rosenberg, Maggie Haberman, and Adam Goldman write. Put more bluntly: Members of the Trump White House selectively leaked classified intelligence that doesn’t actually support their boss’s claim to a credulous congressman who uncritically parroted the information in a press conference just hours later. . . . The precise chain of events leading up to the March 22 presser, where Nunes told the public about the information he got, is worth unpacking — as it tells us something fundamentally disturbing about the whole saga. It begins with Cohen-Watnick, who is — per a blockbuster Politico report — a rather controversial figure. He’s a 30-year-old Trump loyalist who developed a close relationship with Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner during the presidential transition. He was appointed to run the NSC’s intelligence staff by Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn (who was later fired for lying to Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with the Russian ambassador to the US). On March 4, Trump alleged — without providing any evidence — that Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower during the campaign. “Shortly thereafter,” the Times reporters write, “Cohen-Watnick began reviewing highly classified reports detailing the intercepted communications of foreign officials.” The clear implication of this Times claim is that Cohen-Watnick was looking for anything that could vindicate Trump’s wiretap claim. About a week later, new National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster tried to get rid of Cohen-Watnick, whom the CIA reportedly didn’t trust because it saw him as hostile to them as an institution. On March 10, McMaster informed Cohen-Watnick that he would be moved to a different position in the NSC. On March 12, Trump personally intervened (reportedly at Bannon and Kushner’s prompting), overruling McMaster and keeping Cohen-Watnick in place. Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Looks like the dems crying about losing the election and trying to invents Russian conspiracy is going to backfire. http://dailycaller.com/2017/04/03/susan-rice-ordered-spy-agencies-to-produce-detailed-spreadsheets-involving-trump/ The more digging into it, the more Obama and the left are found to be violating laws. Love CNN last night actually declaring they refuse to report the Susan Rice story because it's not true, it's not! The left....not only too stupid to beat Donald Trump in a free and fair election...too stupid to not draw attention to their own crimes afterwards. Gary Hart was the rule, not the exception.

Balloon guy 158 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I'm sure you will be equally forgiving when Trump uses the National Intelligence Agency under the command of his hand picked person to 'vet' the next political opponent he runs against? Nothing to see, just doing their job, listening to their phone conversations to see if they are up to anything nefarious or damaging to my campaign. I guess the Patriot Act is okay now in the Liberal lexicon of good government programs to support because the government is here to help. Link to post Share on other sites

Find me an official white House press release from the Obama administration that explicitly blames George Bush for something. I'll wait. The pettiness is unprecedented. Trump is a giant baby.

WashingtonTimes World Tribune Wall Street Journal Political Insider21 times Obama blames Bush for stuff White House dossier I'm sure you get the point. Although I guess you can worm your way out and say that President Obama saying something out of his mouth isn't an 'official white house press release' But Trump is in office for like 75 days, so he is responsible for everything...including the good economic numbers?

Balloon guy 158 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 And it's Mr. President Giant Baby to you... just 93 months more though. That's 2,845 more days of winning. 2,845 more days Chelsea will be 45 when you guys hang all your hopes and dreams on her. Hillary will likely be too sick And Biden will be even more senile.

That's 2,845 more days of winning. 2,845 more days I'm not sure if that is enough days to support this insane level of winning. So many major wins for the administration thus far, I wonder what else they could possibly accomplish. Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 So...Trump not accomplishing everything he ever said during campaign in less than 3 months means he's not going to do anything? I guess the need for cognitive dissonance to comfort the hysterical left is a normal reaction in the stages of grief. Started with denial: Not my President, besides Trump is literally Hitler Next stage is deal making: Okay Trump is not Hitler, but he's incompetent Followed by acceptance: Trump is competent, but we don't like him. Question, when Trump is re-elected, will you start over on the stages? Or is it possible to jump to the end and save us all the shrieking? Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Big push for the US to "do something" in Syria by lots of different people. Hope Trump stays strong on his stance to stay out of the ME. This event does not warrant US action. Weird to see the types of people itching for us to start bombing. Many people who complained about past bombings. Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I have mixed feelings about this airstrike. Personally I don't believe Assad used chemical weapons. He's winning, and it accomplishes nothing. Wouldn't be the first time a dictator did something insane of course. Trump campaigned on staying out of these engagements, and he got in one in the first 100 days. On the other hand, he will be seen as much more 'dangerous' by our enemies, which is always a good thing. And dropping bombs is always the stiirle way to pretend we 'did something; while actually accomplishing very little. I'm all for helping the Air Force on budget day though.
