The leak is far worse than the resignation, obama's people really screwed up, jail may await them...

[Coyote]

How is any of this different then the wikileaks leaks on Hillary that you all were joyfully defending....?

It is completely different since the officials involved broke numerous laws and violated the agreements they made to serve. They can be charged with actual laws and we can find out who they were. How are you ok with the US Government spying on US citizens? Or better yet an outgoing US Government spying on an incoming Government?

Oh really?

Your argument, in defense of wikileaks was that it was justified in exposing potential "criminal conduct".

The leaks WERE an illegal act however.

Do you still justify it?

If so, how can you not justify the leaks on Flynn?

Ans: it's DIFFERENT when it's OUR side

That is YOUR defense and you just admitted it. The Government has no authority to spy on American citizens and no authority to spy on the incoming Admin. In fact NOTHING Flynn did is was or will be illegal. Or perhaps you can explain how an incoming government official haviing a discussion about potential actions of the incoming admin are illegal?

Double standard.

 

[TomParks]

The only thing Flynn is guilty of was lying to Pence...nothing more.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

How is any of this different then the wikileaks leaks on Hillary that you all were joyfully defending....?

Do you really believe that Flynn having a conversation with Russian leaders to ease tensions is on the same par as the leaked e-mails of the Hildebeast and the DNC? A bunch of back-biting commies in the state department that are attempting to undermine a detente between America, NATO with Russia?
I can only hope that the first nuke lands were you live...... since you are so eager for war......

Like I thought. A double standard.

Flynn tellling the Russians not to worry about sanctions and implying they'd be reversed is "ok" when his boss isn't even sworn in and the actual president.

Unreal.

If you are THAT concerned about war....well why the beliigerence towards Iran and China? You guys take the cake.

There is in fact NO LAW that makes that illegal and in FACT it has been done every time a new admin took over. Or do you think every new admin did no conversations with foreign Governments before being sworn in? Be specific and cite the law that makes it illegal for a new Government talking to foreign Governments about what they may or may not do once in office?

Russia never rated any sanctions put upon them to begin with since the end of the phony Cold War. How many countries has Russia taken down by covert or overt methods since then? Shall we count how many USA.INC has? USA.INC doesn't spread "freedom" to other countries...they invade and then never leave so WE pay for the military that is their security arm of their multi-national corporations. There is no need for "war" with any country...not China, not Iran, not Russia, not Libya, not Somalia, not Afghanistan, not Syria....shall I go on? If Trump allows a war to start with either China or Iran...any country like Libya and Syria ...wars that the Barrypuppet started then he is just the same bought and paid for puppet like the ones before him. You want war? Go sign up....you want to keep provoking Russia by amassing troops around their border? Then get your ass up there and take up a post...if not? Then you need to STFU

America's spies anonymously took down Michael Flynn. That is deeply worrying.

In such a situation — our situation — shouldn't we hope the deep state will rise up to act responsibly to take down a member of the administration who may have broken the law?

The answer is an unequivocal no.

In a liberal democracy, how things happen is often as important as what happens. Procedures matter. So do rules and public accountability. The chaotic, dysfunctional Trump White House is placing the entire system under enormous strain. That's bad. But the answer isn't to counter it with equally irregular acts of sabotage — or with a disinformation campaign waged by nameless civil servants toiling away in the surveillance state.

As Eli Lake of Bloomberg News put it in an important article following Flynn's resignation,

Normally intercepts of U.S. officials and citizens are some of the most tightly held government secrets. This is for good reason. Selectively disclosing details of private conversations monitored by the FBI or NSA gives the permanent state the power to destroy reputations from the cloak of anonymity. This is what police states do. [Bloomberg]

Those cheering the deep state torpedoing of Flynn are saying, in effect, that a police state is perfectly fine so long as it helps to bring down Trump.

It is the role of Congress to investigate the president and those who work for him. If Congress resists doing its duty, out of a mixture of self-interest and cowardice, the American people have no choice but to try and hold the government's feet to the fire, demanding action with phone calls, protests, and, ultimately, votes. That is a democratic response to the failure of democracy.

Sitting back and letting shadowy, unaccountable agents of espionage do the job for us simply isn't an acceptable alternative.

Down that path lies the end of democracy in America.​

The "swamp" that needs to be drained is the links between the Trump Administration and the Russian government. You're all aflutter because someone leaked that there are links between White House officials and the Russian government, and you're upset about the leaks. Talk about picking up the peanuts while being trampled by the elephants.

Your President and his staff are seriously compromised.

Trump told Russia if you have any more on Clinton send them now, and he used to read from WikiLeaks.

He only likes leaks if pro Trump..

 

[Call Sign Chaos]

The idiots in obama's intelligence agencies leaked the Flynn information....and since they have to protect the identity of Americans when they are surveilling foreign assets........there are very few people who would have had access to the Flynn recordings......and they all belong to obama.....and now, they can go and get them ......

Catherine Herridge has high level sources......

We are talking jail time for the leakers when they are caught.......

Top House Republican wants FBI 'assessment' on Trump-related leaks

But the release of information from the Flynn phone calls also appears especially problematic, because when the intelligence community captures phone calls of an American inside the U.S., even if the discussion involves a foreign national (in this case an ambassador), steps must be taken to shield the American caller's identity.

"If [the conversation] was picked up inadvertently, then that would have had to been approved by someone in the last administration to actually unmask his name so that the FBI or intelligence officials knew who it was on the other end of the phone talking to the Russian ambassador," Nunes explained.

"If in fact the press reports are right, someone made the decision to deliberately listen to General Flynn's phone calls and that is, I think, unprecedented, unwarranted, and flat-out wrong."

Former NSA analyst and whistleblower Bill Binney confirmed to Fox News that surveillance programs that touch on leadership are highly restricted.

"I think it is compartmentalized, meaning a small circle, less than 100 [people would have access to the intelligence]," Binney said. "They are supposed to minimize the American side. ... All presumed U.S. citizens have rights under the Fourth Amendment."

Nunes said the timing may be significant because the authorization to unmask Flynn was likely taken under the Obama administration, as the phone calls occurred in December.

The committee chairman said the issue goes beyond politics because it is also undermining the relationship between a president and world leaders.

"I think all foreign leaders now are going to be worried that this is going to somehow leak out. I think it has done tremendous damage to [America's] reputation around the world, and no one's talking about it -- and this is because someone in the national security apparatus decided to leak this out. It's very, very serious," he said.

Simply revealing the contents of the calls can have the effect of what the intelligence community calls "burning the source," because the parties involved know beyond a doubt the U.S. government has the ability to track the conversations.

The leaking of information about the investigation into Russian interference in the U.S. race points to the possible compromise of even more sensitive collection sources.

Standard fascist behavior. "Waaa! The treasonous conduct of our party was revealed! Jail whatever patriot did that! All must put party before country!"

So, JimBowie, 2aguy, AnCap'n and Death Angel aren't even pretending to be loyal Americans any more. That's probably for the best, as they never could pull off the charade. The party gives orders, they obey, and they don't care how that harms the USA. Their boy sold us out to the Russians, and since anything their side does is good by definition, they now think selling the USA out to the Russians is a good thing.

There was no treasonous behavior on the part of the administration, however, coup plotters in the intelligence community loyal to the DNC illegally spied on an American citizen then leaked their findings to the media, execution should await that person, all of the coup plotters need to be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. And you should just kill yourself you little faggot.

FBI needs to explain why Flynn was recorded, Intelligence Committee chairman says

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said Tuesday that the most significant question posed by the resignation of national security adviser Michael Flynn is why intelligence officials eavesdropped on his calls with the Russian ambassador and later leaked information on those calls to the press.

“I expect for the FBI to tell me what is going on, and they better have a good answer,” said Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, which is conducting a review of Russian activities to influence the election. “The big problem I see here is that you have an American citizen who had his phone calls recorded.”...​

Do our representatives to government know; our federal Congress and our State legislatures, were and are, "too chicken" to regulate Commerce well? The People of California had to do their Job, for them.

We have a Commerce Clause, not Any form of Drug War clause.

Should we clamor for laws regarding, "Perjury Against the People"?

No, it is the truth. dick Cheney outed Valerie Plame because her husband was sent to investigate a yellow cake story where Bush had lied.

The committee chairman said the issue goes beyond politics because it is also undermining the relationship between a president and world leaders.

"I think all foreign leaders now are going to be worried that this is going to somehow leak out. I think it has done tremendous damage to [America's] reputation around the world, and no one's talking about it -- and this is because someone in the national security apparatus decided to leak this out. It's very, very serious," he said.

Simply revealing the contents of the calls can have the effect of what the intelligence community calls "burning the source," because the parties involved know beyond a doubt the U.S. government has the ability to track the conversations.

The leaking of information about the investigation into Russian interference in the U.S. race points to the possible compromise of even more sensitive collection sources.

Funny chit coming from the party that outed a CIA agent for political revenge.

That's a debunked lie you stupid fuck.

No, it is the truth. dick Cheney outed Valerie Plame because her husband was sent to investigate a yellow cake story where Bush had lied.

Plame had been a covert agent. By outing her, Cheney put every current covert agent that ever worked with Plame at rtsk.
No lie.

Oh brother. Plame was the best unkept secret in DC.

She hadn't been a covert agent in years. She was a fucking desk jockey. Her last mission to Russia was a bust because they knew who she was. She was sent home.

No lie.

So, why would the VP out her as revenge?

Nobody outed her. Hell half of DC knew all about her.
