House Intel Chairman Says Flynn Call Leakers 'Broke The Law' And 'Belong In Jail'

Yes, please.

From Breitbart:
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said Tuesday that those who leaked the contents of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's phone calls "belong in jail." "That's nine leakers that all belong in jail," Nunes said.

"Those nine people broke the law, clearly, by leaking classified information to anybody."

Flynn resigned late Monday night, after a Washington Post report on Feb. 9 said he had privately discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with a Russian ambassador during phone calls in December -- despite assertions by Trump officials, including the vice president, that he had never done so.

The Post's report cited nine anonymous current and former officials "who were in senior positions at multiple agencies" who "had access to reports from U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies that routinely monitor the communications of Russian diplomats."

"All of those officials said Flynn's references to the election-related sanctions were explicit," the report said.

Nunes said he also wanted to know how U.S. intelligence agencies were wiretapping Flynn's calls, which he said may also have been illegal.

The chairman said there are only two ways that intelligence agencies can listen in on an American's phone call — after obtaining a warrant, or inadvertently, such as in the case of Flynn speaking with a foreign official being spied on, which the report suggests was the case.

Nunes said "it's pretty clear" that there was no warrant.

"It's pretty clear that's not the case," he said. "I'm pretty sure the FBI didn't have a warrant on Michael Flynn … To listen to an American's phone call you would have to go to a court, there'd be all that paperwork there. So I'm guessing that doesn't exist."

In case Flynn was speaking to a foreign official — Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in this case -- Nunes said there should have been a process to mask Flynn's identity.

"Unless it's a high-level national security issue, and then someone would have to unmask the name, someone at the highest levels, they'd have to unmask that name," Nunes said. "It's a very high threshold to unmask an American citizen's name, that's a very high threshold, almost unprecedented. And if you were going to unmask it, it seems like you would immediately go get a warrant."

"If they did that, how does all that get out to the public which is another leak of classified information," he added. "Whoever did it, it's illegal."
This was deep state sabotage. This is exactly what Chuck Schumer threatened would happen last month.



The deep state has come out of the shadows and is now openly working to sabotage our democratically elected president.



The New York Times just ran with another leak, which they suggestively titled "Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence."

The article contains nothing incriminating nor seemingly new, yet is titled and written in such a way to imply Trump and his entire staff are Russian agents.

The traitors controlling our alphabet agencies are openly staging a coup to overthrow our president and the Democratic party and entire leftist establishment is cheering them on.


It's hard to even believe they're committing this treason so openly.


We desperately need to purge the criminals who've taken over these agencies. There's no question they're going to keep escalating the situation and I'd bet they're currently plotting to assassinate Trump just like they did with JFK.
