| New Surprise Suspect in Obama Spy Scandal |
| 2017-06-01 |
| [WND] WASHINGTON ‐ The inquiry into whether the Obama administration spied on the Trump campaign and transition team has a new surprise suspect: former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power. The House Intelligence Committee announced Wednesday it was submitting subpoenas as part of its ongoing investigation into any Russian meddling during the 2016 presidential election campaign, and sources gave more details to the Wall Street Journal. Buried inside the paper’s account was a potentially bombshell development: The committee is seeking information from the FBI, CIA and NSA on unmasking requests made by Power. Power was likely a cutout. Like fellow Obama political appointee Susan Rice, she performed a function for the Shadow Gov't. The data went elsewhere. Unmasking is the revealing of names within the intelligence community of U.S. citizens gathered in foreign surveillance. The new subpoena immediately raises the question: Why would Power be seeking such information? Why would a diplomat care about Trump officials? It would hardly seem to have any obvious relevance to her job as U.N. ambassador. She was, however, a close confidant of President Obama, and she served him as a foreign-policy adviser when he was a senator. And members of the intelligence committee have previously shown concern about Obama officials unmasking Trump associates. Sources told Fox News that Power’s role is now under increasing scrutiny by the intelligence committee.

| #4 Hillary, Obama and the Donks opened this can of worms with the Russia-Trump phony collusion scandal; now it looks like it may begin to blow back on them. Let's get into the real scandal, the one with John Podesta, Hillary, WJC and the Clinton Foundation in the pay-for-play scandal; and the one where Hillary as SOS arranged for the sale of 20% of our uranium to Russia. While at it, how about the missing $2B in Haiti relief funds too? |

| #1 I suspect Power will be stepping down from her post well before she is called to testify. |
