What Devin Nunes Knows

The Wall Street Journal ^ | KIMBERLEY A. STRASSEL | March 30, 2017



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.

Hey no fair. You caught me colluding with a foreign nation.

It's like me complaining that I got caught speeding.

None of this stuff is particularly damning and the closest one that comes to damning is the "unmasking".
There is talk that Flynn for example worked on doing an illegal extradition of Gulan who we've given asylum from Turkey. Its not just Russian interests that the Trump Administration is thought to have had unethical and possibly illegal if money was exchanged in order to enact certain foreign policy.. There are Ukrainian and Turkish interests too. If its either one of those two, it won't be a surprise and it wouldn't be "russia related".

Secondly, from what I read, if you can tell who someone is but they are still masked, that isn't really a problem. If you have some conversation like:

[REDACTED NAME] - "Its going to be the greatest, absolutely greatest corruption. No one does bribery and corruption like me Vlad. NOBODY."

Well obviously you know who that is, even if their name is masked.

Finally, if someone's name is unmasked, if its done legally, its done legally, period.

Devin Nunes has not said he has see anything "illegal", just something "concerning" and lets not forget, that Devin Nunes was personally asked by the white house to be a white house shill basically. This story flew under the radar about a month or so ago. Nunes seems to be doing what was requested and acting like a total shill and disruptor.
