Unmasking is routine and it's not leaking

Oh the humanity!

This clown even plagiarizes tweets....

the article says that "normally" it's not. And is it routine when it's unmasking a political opponent for what else other than political purposes?

The exception for minimization is when the persons name is necessary to understand the foreign intel . Flynn's ID was important to understanding why his convo with the Russian ambassador was important

It's hard to believe that President Trump (yes, he's your president, just like that ball of fire in the sky is also your sun, you f'n snowflakes in this country {unless you're an illegal alien of course, then Generalismo Shithead is likely "your presidente"} -but I digress *within a digress*) would make those charges solely as a diversionary ploy knowing full well he'd be called on it. For all his shortcomings, he's confounded the more intelligent among us.

Liberals and conservatives alike are susceptible to believing, or at the very least circulating, incorrect information that appears to confirm their political worldview. So-called “fake news” has found an audience among progressives and liberals, just as it has found an audience in pro-Trump circles, too. There’s little sign that this embrace of false beliefs, especially those seemingly rooted in partisanship, will end anytime soon.

Yeah, if I got caught plagiarizing multiple times, I'd embrace it too

Agreed. It's unfortunate that people aren't more skeptical about stories that are handed to them on a silver plater and fit perfectly into their pre-conceived notions.

Hey! I got caught red handed plagiarizing, so I'll post something from The Atlantic to try and make it appear that I did it intentionally.

You're just not that clever.

Reports coming in that Black Water founder Eric Prince (Betsy Devos' brother) held secret meetings to establish a Trump/Putin back channel.

Erik Prince is one interesting dude. I recommend reading Jeremy Scahill's book 'Blackwater'. My sister went college in Holland, MI and I was over there last year for her graduation. Anyways, that's where the Prince family is from. The Prince family is royalty over there. Same with the DeVos'. Holland is basically their little fiefdom. They run shit there. Nice little town though

“The idea that Ambassador Rice improperly sought the identities of Americans is false. There is nothing unusual about making these requests when serving as a senior national security official, whether Democrat or Republican. This appears to be a story largely ginned up, partly as a distraction from this larger investigation.”

The Trump campaign's collusion with Russia isn't going away because of these idiotic distractions.

If there is even a remote possibility that Trump had/has ambiguous ties to Russia, then it has to be investigated.

Oh you poor thing.

Collusion with Russia :1orglaugh

Care to provide evidence?

Meanwhile, Susan Rice contemplates the ramifications of exercising her 5th amendment privilege.

Nah...

Let's make it $5000.00 that there was no Trump/Russia collusion.

I'll even put it in a trust.

Uh-huh, that's one Russian thread unraveling from the fold. And there are other examples of members of the Trump campaign/transition/administration that's got the Russian stink all over them. Where there's smoke there's fire, of course it's more fun to throw baseless wiretapping accusations around to distract from the real issue, which isn't wiretapping or any other sort of surveillance, rather the active coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives to influence the 2016 election. I should accept your wager, and raise it your entire net worth, but 1) I don't need your money, and 2) I would hate to be the one to sign your ticket to the poor house.
