http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/11/politics/intelligence-contradicts-nunes-unmasking-claims/index.html I have mentioned it before that he could have been lying to get firestorm off white house back. Looks like I was right. It worked well at the time he made his announcement, but now what??? With every day my hope for a great GOP president that controls both chambers is fading away.
Nothing is classified unless it is published in the NYT or WP. Until then it is just from a trusted source, who is close to the matter, yet remains unnamed. CNN has access to classified material because they need to know what not to disclose. Good enough for me. I'd trust it.
Trump probably thought bombing Syria would forever put an end to attention to his Trump /Russia collusion investigation,seems he was wrong I am not surprised at all Nunes was lying his ass off and purposely impeding the investigation for his former boss.
When I see how much the democrats hate Russians I'm glad I'll never vote for one of their isolationist candidates.
According to investigative reporter adam housley at foxnews just last night, the investigation into the unmasking is expanding and going full blown. That would not likely be the case if the house intel members saw what nunes saw and concluded there was nothing there.

What scandal ??? Is this something I should know about? Did she cross state lines with the fifteen-year-old from next door???
Yes. Just stay tuned and we'll keep you up to date. Now we know they wiretapped Paige and reports are coming out that the same fisa allowed tapping of Manafort and Stone, too.
After Syria Attacks Corporate Media Russia Industrial Complex Grinds to a Halt For months, the corporate media and political drumbeats have been thumping the same old chestnuts: Donald Trump is Putin’s puppet, Hillary Clinton‘s epic defeat is somehow not valid, and any journalist who asked for incontrovertible evidence of Russian collusion is a Kremlin agent. For several weeks at a time, we’ve also seen pundit parties with an open buffet table of groupthink and “stated-as-fact” proclamations that Russia “hacked the election.” Trump’s inner circle and possibly Trump himself are a stooge of Russia, was the major news theme of the past two months. Well, if Trump’s a puppet, he needs new strings. Because if Trump is living under some type of dark, Putin-extortion cloud that holds damning financial or embarrassing social information over him, it would be highly stupid of the Donald to claim Russia is somehow covering for Syrian President Bashar-al-Assad‘s alleged chemical weapons attack on his own people. But, that’s exactly what Trump did Tuesday, dispensing his administration to suggest Russia had forewarning about the Syrian government’s alleged chemical attacks. He also claimed both Russia and Syria had put forth “false narratives” about the attack. Make no mistake—I’m no fan of President Trump (despite the establishment, pro-Clinton trolls accusing me and others of being Kremlin super spies). It brings me no pleasure to toss points his way, but it is journalists’ jobs to call a spade a spade. If President Trump and his inner circle were truly puppets for Russia—or colluded with Russia to catapult him into the White House—it’s pretty much political suicide to wage a war of words and accusations over Russia potentially being complicit in a chemical weapons attack. Especially if, as has been alleged in a not-so-subtle whisper campaign, that the Kremlin has “kompromat” on Trump. So, alas, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, Washington Post, and the rest of the usual suspects are already out with introspective segments and pieces exploring whether they rushed to judgment on the evil, Cold-War 2.0 that saw Bolshevik Trump serving as Putin’s play toy. Of course not! Because in corporate media, you can toss out baseless propaganda uninterrupted for months—to avoid actual reporting or investigation into the reason millions of Americans have turned against bought-off politicians and media—and then face no accountability when reality reenters the building. And this dance goes on and on; “reporters” and pundits will gorge on groupthink based off speculative nonsense, ignoring all evidence—or lack there of—to the contrary. The worst part: all of these folks think they’re actually performing journalism, while ignoring the actual scandals permeating America. You know, like Flint, Michigan still unable to drink its water three years after being poisoned (and now facing water shutoffs for poison water); East Chicago, Indiana being lead-poisoned for three decades with no government action; banks continuing to try and bilk their customers while President Trump takes a machete to financial regulations; states blocking cities from raising the minimum wage; and a countless list of other injustices that get no coverage. I guess actual scandal that affects everyday peoples lives are useless if they don’t mirror the Rocky IV plot; no, those stories are just not sexy enough for the living-in-an-ivory-tower-corporate media. Who, collectively, have a lot of explaining to do about its Russian roulette propaganda that was more what the collective establishment wanted to be true than was reporting based on provable facts. You know, that thing called journalism. http://www.mediaite.com/online/afte...a-russia-industrial-complex-grinds-to-a-halt/
If he does nothing else, Trump has provided a monumental public service in totally destroying any remaining trust the public had in the media. Even the left has no faith or trust in the media. They just regard them as useful shills for their side. They used to be able to dismiss claims of liberal bias with sighs and eye rolling. No more. Anyone who can read or turn on their TV can see it. Now the media actually try to wrap themselves in their lying and bias as a virtue.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...esident-trump-media-quinnipiac-poll/98283962/ Majority of Americans trust the media more than Trump: poll Charles Ventura , USA TODAY Published 3:18 a.m. ET Feb. 23, 2017 When it boils down to matters of trust, a majority of Americans say they trust the media more than President Trump, according to a new poll. The Quinnipiac University poll, released on Wednesday, asked participants if the media or Trump "tell you the truth about important issues." The survey said that 52% of voters trust the media, with only 37% saying they trusted Trump more. Among Democrat voters, 86% said they were more inclined to believe the media than the president, while 78% of Republican voters said that Trump tells them the truth, not the media, according to the poll. The survey comes after Trump repeated his criticism of the press, calling the "fake news media" the "enemy of the American people" in a Twitter post last week. Trump, who has increasingly called news coverage he does not agree with "fake," has also bashed on polls, tweeting earlier this month, "Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election," in reference to surveys conducted on his controversial travel ban. Trump's attack on the media, as the Quinnipiac poll would suggest, has had a profound effect on the American public. College-educated white voters and non-college educated white voters, for example, are divided on the trust level question — with 55% of the former trusting the media, compared to 55% of the latter believing Trump more, according to the poll. Nonwhite voters, in sharp contrast to non-college educated white voters, were more inclined to trust the media (68%) about important issues. "The media, so demonized by the Trump Administration, is actually a good deal more popular than President Trump," Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said about the results. Quinnipiac's report also suggests: 90% of Americans voters say it is "very important" or "somewhat important" "that the news media hold public officials accountable." 61% of people disapprove the way Trump talks about the media, while 50% of voters disapprove the media's coverage on Trump. The poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University from Feb. 16-21, surveyed 1,323 voters across the U.S.
