3. Unmasking’ Investigation Leading Straight To Obama White House
Ben Rhodes and Samantha Power added to House Intelligence Committee’s investigation list.

A mounting unmasking scandal investigation is leading right to the Obama White House and to a former Obama administration United Nations ambassador. Rep. Devin Nunes (R., Calif.), chair of the House Intelligence Committee, which is handling the investigation, has blown the lid off of what could well turn out to be one of the most egregious violations of Americans’ 4th Amendment privacy rights in the nation’s history.

In a July 27th letter to Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats, Rep. Nunes expressed the concern of his committee that government officials may have abused their authority to request the unmasking of U.S. person identities sourced from raw intelligence reports. The raw intelligence, which included the names of some Americans, focused on foreign individuals’ communications of interest to intelligence agencies. Some of those communications may have been with Americans caught up in the intelligence surveillance.

4. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz: I Kept Pakistani Hacker on Staff to Stand Up For What’s Right

The Debbie Wasserman-Schultz interview about Imran Awan is here. And it’s every bit as insane as you would expect.

   “Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz defiantly stands by her decision to keep an information technology aide on her payroll for six months after he was banned from the House network and fired by other members of Congress.

   “I believe that I did the right thing, and I would do it again,” Wasserman Schultz said Thursday in an exclusive interview with the Sun Sentinel. “There are times when you can’t be afraid to stand alone, and you have to stand up for what’s right.”

Sometimes you have to do what’s right. And sometimes the right thing to do is keep a Pakistani criminal employed in a sensitive position while his crimes are unraveling. And only fire him once he actually tries to flee the country.

And she would do it again.

As De’Souza said in his movie, Hillary’s America, “the most important thing is to never let go of the con. Once you have a story, never back away from it.” This looks like it must be the policy of all in the Clinton team under pain of random robbery with nothing taken and no investigation afterwards.

5.  MCMASTER’S NSC COUP AGAINST TRUMP PURGES CRITICS OF ISLAM AND OBAMA

Derek Harvey was a man who saw things coming. He had warned of Al Qaeda when most chose to ignore it. He had seen the Sunni insurgency rising when most chose to deny it.

 

The former Army colonel had made his reputation by learning the lay of the land. In Iraq that meant sleeping on mud floors and digging into documents to figure out where the threat was coming from.

It was hard to imagine anyone better qualified to serve as President Trump’s top Middle East adviser at the National Security Council than a man who had been on the ground in Iraq and who had seen it all.

 

Just like in Iraq, Harvey began digging at the NSC. He came up with a list of Obama holdovers who were leaking to the press. McMaster, the new head of the NSC, refused to fire any of them.

 

McMaster had a different list of people he wanted to fire. It was easy to make the list. Harvey was on it.

All you had to do was name Islamic terrorism as the problem and oppose the Iran Deal. If you came in with Flynn, you would be out. If you were loyal to Trump, your days were numbered.

6. John Guandolo on McMaster manipulations

Thank you Richard, M., and all who keep an eye on this issue. Trump is in choppy waters, created that way by a deep state that has no intention of letting him derail the Dynasty policies of the various Bushes and Clintons and Obama administrations. We must apply pressure back on these actors if there is to be any hope of a constitutional USA as we know it and need it to be. Trump can triumph, but it won’t be easy going.
