| 2017-04-01 |
| [FOX] The U.S. intelligence official who "unmasked," or exposed, the names of multiple private citizens affiliated with the Trump team is someone "very well known, very high up, very senior in the intelligence world," a source told Fox News on Friday. Intelligence and House sources with direct knowledge of the disclosure of classified names told Fox News that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., now knows who is responsible -- and that person is not in the FBI. For a private citizen to be "unmasked," or named, in an intelligence report is extremely rare. Typically, the American is a suspect in a crime, is in danger or has to be named to explain the context of the report. "The main issue in this case, is not only the unmasking of these names of private citizens, but the spreading of these names for political purposes that have nothing to do with national security or an investigation into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election," a congressional source close to the investigation told Fox News. |

| #8 If the CIA can do this, it is hard telling what else they can do. It (WikiLeaks latest Vault 7 release) says the CIA disguised its own hacking attacks to make it appear those responsible were Russian, Chinese, Iranian or North Korean. WikiLeaks says the source code suggests Marble has test examples in Chinese, Russian, Korean, Arabic and Farsi (the Iranian language). It says: 'This would permit a forensic attribution double game, for example by pretending that the spoken language of the malware creator was not American Englishbut Chinese.' This could lead forensic investigators into wrongly concluding that CIA hacks were carried out by the Kremlin, the Chinese government, Iran, North Korea or Arabic-speaking terror groups such as ISIS. Daily Mail article. |

| #4 However, after viewing the evidence, Schiff is urging all members view it securely so they will know Congress is not being partisan! If nothing to do with Russians or of intel value...this may end up being a big vindication for Trump. And I suspect it is not unmasking of names at issue, but they were never masked in the first place. This sounds like raw intel few should have access to.... |

| #3 Barry Soetoro's puppet master will soon be revealed. I too, doubt anything will come of it. The Congress as a governing body is a fiction. It's feckless investigations are little more than a pretense for justice. If the evil Clinton's could not be brought to heel, no one can. |

| #2 This "very high up person" will probably receive the same punishment as HRC has for her server. |
