Interesting:

A Wall Street Journal editorial on Tuesday also questioned whether spies listening to Flynn broke the law.

The editorial said U.S. intelligence services routinely get orders from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to monitor foreign officials, but are supposed to use “minimization procedures” that don’t let them listen to the communications of an American.

“That is, they are supposed to protect the identity and speech of innocent Americans. Yet the Washington Post, which broke the story, says it spoke to multiple U.S. officials claiming to know what Mr. Flynn said on that call,” the Journal said.

“The questions someone in the White House should ask the National Security Agency is why it didn’t use minimization procedures to protect Mr. Flynn? Or did it also have a court order to listen to Mr. Flynn, and how did it justify that judicial request?” it added.

I think Trump hasn't replaced enough people yet to get obedience. So he's going to get a few Democrats who are still there working against him. Standard party change stuff.

Trump really needs to go to town on replacements.

Allowing 9/11 & LYING about WMD gets one a SOCIALIST retirement & FREEDOM!
Many LYING ASSHOLES running FREE.
Maybe 45 & his ilk aren't capable of finding Honorable people on the Right because of hidden agendas?

Nunes had 8 years to investigate leakers trying to undermine the obama administration and not a peep. Why all the great concern about surveillance now? Bread and circus. But hey TPB buys it.

The rumor is that Pence was the leak.

This administration is a leaky bucket. joeyjojojunior says

The rumor is that Pence was the leak.

I wonder if he was just doing what is right or is furthering the train wreck down the tracks. The obvious conspiracy theory would be that some power players are helping him move Trumpty Dumpty down the impeachment tracks.

Chain of command first. Someone should have let the big guys know before going to the WaPo. The fact that they didn't, and went directly to the most Leftist rag in the USA means that their intentions were bad.
I'd guess that a lot of bureaucrats are getting polygraphed today.

The whole thing is beautiful to behold.
Trump the political tri-tipped missile launched against washington to dismantle the status quo.
I think it's working pretty well at this point. Better than expected.

Trump is going to hit so hard back at these fuckers there will be a percussion wave.

Trump will continue the cluster fuck presidency full speed ahead. People forget (or simply didn't want to know) that every project trump actually managed himself ended in, lawsuits, broken contracts, and bankruptcy, frequently multiple bankruptcies. If it wasn't for government money and his father's really deep credit line we would have never heard of trump again after 1985 or so.

There's a very good reason trump switched from trying to develop projects himself to promoting himself on reality tv, sponsoring beauty pageants, and name branding.
