Breitbart: Speculation is mounting over the identity of a purported top-secret intelligence source who was part of the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign.
Such a source was first confirmed last week by leakers to the Washington Post. The leakers told the Post that senior FBI and national intelligence officials tried to stop House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes from receiving information that could “endanger a top-secret intelligence source.”
The leakers also revealed the source is a “U.S. citizen who has provided intelligence to the CIA and FBI.”
They also revealed that providing the information about the source could “damage relationships with other countries that serve as U.S. intelligence partners” — meaning that the source likely worked with other nations.
Their panic was reportedly set off by a recent request for the information from Nunes to Attorney General Jeff Sessions on April 24. The Justice Department initially rejected his request, but acquiesced, providing him with the information last Wednesday.
Despite claims that releasing the information would endanger lives, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) told reporters on Thursday that the request was “wholly appropriate” and overdue.
“I spent some time looking at the HPSCI request, at the HPSCI investigation. I think this request is wholly appropriate. It’s completely within the scope of the investigation that’s been ongoing for a while with respect to FISA. I actually think that this is something that probably should have been answered a while ago,” he said.
Although the leakers may have wanted to take aim at Nunes, the revelation of a top secret intelligence source has prompted new questions over whether the CIA and the FBI tried to ensnare members of the Trump campaign in order to launch an investigation of the campaign.
Wall Street Journal‘s Kimberley Strassel, who believes she has identified the source based on leaks and her own reporting, told Fox News on Friday, “It does look as though indeed, there was an FBI attempt — a successful one, to basically go out and spy with a human asset on the Trump campaign.”
“When the FBI talks about a source, the talk about someone who is an average citizen who uses their credentials, their job as a way of spying for the agency,” she said. “We can take that to mean that there was somebody interacting with the Trump campaign and reporting back to the FBI, which means the FBI was using human intelligence to spy on a presidential campaign.”
“It is hugely disconcerting,”she wrote Thursday in a column, referring to Obama officials unmasking the names of Trump campaign officials to monitor their conversations. “It would also be a major escalation from the electronic surveillance we already knew about, which was bad enough.” read more
Reminds me of the Great Russian Tenor/ BaRratone?
“Lal, la, la,la la, lahla, lallha, Lalla, KLalla allaA AND LALLA, ANN ON AND AND oN.
We are phucked if this Mueller shit investigation does not go down as pure bullshit.
Why are we more concerned about some speculative Russian influence on the national election than what is becoming concrete evidence of FBI and US intelligence agency spying on the Trump campaign? Let’s expose the domestic enemies first and then concentrate on foreign enemies.
There’s a lot of shit going on I believe DJT could put an end to anytime he wanted to. For example he can declassify any document he wants, at anytime, with the stroke of a pen. I think we have just seen the tip of the iceberg as far as how smart this guy is. I think he’s holding off letting the evidence of the deep state be collected. I won’t be surprised if he fills GITMO one day.
Worse than just a mole… the Deep State managed to embed Jeff Sessions in the Trump campaign, early on.
Jeff Sessions. I see him as the Doctor Yueh of PDT’s House Atreides. Standing by to sabotage the shield generators so the Harkonnens can attack.
@Fur, here’s an image idea: Hillary as pustule-ridden Baron Harkonnen.
Russian collusion is zip, the real danger is Federal agencies colluding together to defeat a legitimate US candidate they disagreed with. Makes one wonder how they may have damaged other candidates in past elections that they disagreed with?? Talk about voter fraud?? Seems the democrats are just fine with it.
Brad, I agree. However, I would like to see him trickle some of this out sooner rather than later. It doesn’t need to be a home run, but a double into the gap (sorry, I’m watching a baseball game) would get the crowd into the game. I’m sure he has a well thought out plan, I’m just not in the loop to know what’s next and its tough to be patient.
COOL RADIO. I cannot blow it up

I keep thinking about Admiral Mike Rodgers visit before Trump took office. Betraying the Obamanation. The key here is with the Black Hats, they never ever thought Trump would win. No tracks covered.
Right again Brad! The black hats have never been more vulnerable and exposed! It’s possible Adm. Rogers single handedly changed the course of history, and did so in a positive direction. You can’t say that about many people.
@ RTF could not disagree more putting a case together on a Deep State with a DEEP plug takes time.
@ BB & J6P yes white hats vs black hats. Some perceived as black may turn out to be white.
Mike Rogers, hopefully, will be celebrated in the future with a statue(s) that cannot be pulled down!
Among spies, politicians, and journalists, another group of people I don’t trust is actors and actresses. And one that is throwing red flags to me right now is Roseanne Barr. She made a couple of cautious tweets supporting Trump (I’m thinking to get publicity for her show) and they caught fire. Now she is among the most prolific tweeters out there. I can’t help but believe she is playing a role with this. And another thing, that pathetic job she did on the National Anthem was all I need to see of her.
joe6pak
I could be wrong, but I think Roseanne is the real freaken deal. Right now I love her. That could change. I’ve had two celebs answer me back on twitter. Her, and Montel Williams. The latter is a stoned cold idiot. Which I pointed out to him.
I could also be wrong, but it would be the first time today.
@ J6P & BB
I don’t do social media or watch TV noes mo’. Mrs. and I watched the original show. LOVED it. John Goodman?!
Saw the disgrace with the National Anthem? Haaaaated it.
She spit and grabbed a set of balls she did not have.
I remember that as well.
The same goes for Tim Allen’s show.
LOVED it back then never saw the new one BUT they are bringing it back. Why not so much politics but maybe it could make a buck or three?
There is something goin’ on here-ra with her/his ‘role in this’ J6P.
Remember, WE are in UNCHARTED waters…steady as she goes.
ghost of col j glover, Joe6pak,
She’s a BIG fan of Q. Which surprises me. Roseanne identifies as middle America. Twitter just erased all her shit regarding Q. She’s not happy. Could we be getting played? Absolutely. My gut tells me no.
This is why effete white people don’t deserve to survive. (It might be morally acceptable if they do. Just like condors. But not “deserve”.)
When people of color decide “the law doesn’t apply to us, because we are the law”, they are seen with a poster naming their act(s) hung around their neck, which attaches them to the bridge over the most popular morning commute route. And their families are never seen again.
White people think the law should only be used against them. So, they’re right.
