Devin Nunes May Be a Buffoon and a Hack, But I Don’t Think He’s a Criminal
I believe that Devin Nunes is a buffoon and a political hack. I believe he needs to be removed from his position as Chair of the House Intelligence Committee — not just because he has been running interference for Trump, betraying his Article I duties, but also because he doesn’t understand the programs he oversees.
But I don’t believe he’s a criminal.
I say that in disagreement with Bart Gellman, who made just such an argument regarding the revelations in this NYT story here. Gellman argued, in part, that Nunes’ sources (about which I hope to say more later) violated nondisclosure laws by sharing reports outside of normal channels with Nunes.
Secrecy regulations, including SF312, the Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement, do not permit [Michael] Ellis and [Ezra] Cohen-Watnick to distribute sensitive compartmented information through a back channel to Nunes. This is true, and their conduct no less an offense, even though Nunes holds clearances sufficient to receive the information through proper channels. The offense, which in some cases can be prosecuted as a felony, would apply even if the White House officials showed Nunes only “tearsheet” summaries of the surveillance reports. Based on what Nunes has said in public, they appear to have showed him the more sensitive verbatim transcripts. Those are always classified as TS/SI (special intelligence) or TS/COMINT (communications intelligence), which means that they could reveal sources and methods if disclosed. That is the first apparent breach of secrecy rules. The second, of course, is the impromptu Nunes news conference. There is no unclassified way to speak in public about the identity of a target or an “incidentally collected” communicant in a surveillance operation.
To be clear, I think Ellis and Cohen-Watnick may have violated access rules on searches. But I don’t think Nunes violated any laws in accessing that intelligence (I think he probably violated the intent of classification rules on intercepts, but by providing no details about who he saw referenced in these reports, he’ll get away with it.)
That’s because minimization procedures pertaining to FISA materials specifically envision access to information — sometimes even raw data — for oversight purposes. The 2015 702 Minimization Procedures for NSA, for example, state,
Nothing in these procedures shall restrict NSA’s performance of lawful oversight of its personnel or systems, or lawful oversight function of the Department of Justice’s National Security Division, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or the applicable Offices of the Inspectors General. Similarly, nothing in these procedures shall prohibit the retention, processing, or dissemination of information reasonably necessary to comply with specific constitutional, judicial,or legislative mandates.
At times, minimization procedures have been even more explicit. Starting in 2014, for example, the Section 215 phone dragnet minimization procedures explicitly permitted the sharing of query results “to facilitate lawful oversight functions.”
Notwithstanding the above requirements, NSA may share results from intelligence analysis queries of the BR metadata, including U.S. person identifying information, with Executive Branch personnel (1) in order to enable them to determine whether the information contains exculpatory or impeachment information or is otherwise discoverable in legal proceedings or (2) to facilitate their lawful oversight functions. Notwithstanding the above requirements, NSA may share the results from intelligence analysis queries of the BR metadata, including United States person information, with Legislative Branch personnel to facilitate lawful oversight functions.
The FISC even excluded such sharing from reporting requirements, so Congress could be doing a lot of this and it would never show up in annual reporting.
In other words, at least for FISA-governed data, the court has permitted the sharing of information — and remember, these are supposed to be finished intelligence reports, not raw data or queries — for people in an oversight role. The 702 procedures leave a lot of room for interpretation, too, about what might be a “constitutional” mandate, the kind of language that White Houses of both parties have been prone to abuse.
If these reports were collected under 12333, the new sharing rules explicitly prohibit the sharing of intelligence for political purposes.
Any IC element that obtains access to raw SIGINT under these Procedures will:
[snip]
Political process in the United States. Not engage in any intelligence activity authorized by these Procedures, including disseminations to the White House, for the purpose of affecting the political process in the United States. The IC element will comply with the guidance applicable to NSA regarding the application of this prohibition. Questions about whether a particular activity falls within this prohibition will be resolved in consultation with the element’s legal counsel and the General Counsel of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) (and the DoD’s Office of the General Counsel in the case of a DoD IC element).
Even if this covered what happened, NSC lawyer John Eisenberg was in the loop on this caper, so they effectively did consult with the element’s legal counsel. Moreover, we know that Presidents can pixie dust executive orders at will.
Nunes, at least, pretends he was functioning in an oversight role in raising questions about whether SIGINT had been properly minimized. He appears to have no clue about the authorities he’s talking about, he appears to have misrepresented what the problem is, and he clearly was doing all this with an eye towards making political accusations against Obama.
But nevertheless, he claims to believe he was functioning in an oversight role.
Which is part of the problem! I’ve long pointed to how unrestricted this language is. It invites abuse. It should be tightened going forward (though neither the Trump Administration nor Congress has incentive to do that at this point).
If you’re bothered by Devin Nunes’ information operation — and I am — then you should be calling to tighten up the language governing how intelligence can be shared for oversight and other “constitutional” purposes. Because they appear to envision something like this happening.
But muh ‘felonious leaking’!
Seriously though, I admit as a non-US non-lawyer it often takes me a few reads to get what you’re saying in these blog posts (not a complaint!) but could you clarify if this is a retraction of your previous writing on Nunes, or were you just making fun of Gowdy? (When you said: ‘”It’s all classified information,” Nunes explained. // And Nunes so lacks any self-awareness, he seemed completely oblivious to the ways he had violated everything the Republicans were wailing about on Monday.’)
(Incidentally, thank you for ‘”It’s all classified information,” Nunes explained.’ Comedy gold!)
Nunes and Trump likely are every bit the jerks you assess them to be. But, as Binney and McGovern noted the other day ( https://consortiumnews.com/2017/03/28/the-surveillance-state-behind-russia-gate/ ) if they don’t roll over like Obama did they have the opportunity to change the course of the pervasive collection and misuse of all our communications. That collection has flourished since 9/11 and has been institutionalized by Obama. Its recent use for political defamation is precisely the tyranny that older spooks and Sen Church warned about once surveillance tools were turned inwards.
Gideon and Miranda were low life’s, but their cases were profound when they got to the Supreme Court. Distasteful as it is, our survival may lie in rooting for Nunes and Trump rather than NSA and CIA.
@lefty665
“Its recent use for political defamation…”
No.
Exxon, Halliburton, BP, and the rest of MIC, used it through Cheney, Bush43, Scooter Libby, Judy Miller, and NYT’s to lie us into Iraq.
Bush 43 turned it over to elites so they could use it f̶o̶r̶ ̶p̶o̶l̶i̶t̶i̶c̶a̶l̶ ̶d̶e̶f̶a̶m̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶ t̶y̶r̶a̶n̶n̶y̶ to get rid of the “Sheriff of Wall Street,” by leaking records of Gov. Spitzer’s spending on sex workers.
You are so fucking clueless it sometimes seems you must work at it. Please quit defacing my posts. Surely you can be inane and ignorant on your own without hanging on my coattails.
“You are so fucking clueless it sometimes seems you must work at it. Please quit defacing my posts. Surely you can be inane and ignorant on your own without hanging on my coattails.”
I think you should just leave here, and quietly. You’re here either on a trolling exercise or else you’re about as beknighted as Nunes.
I do suggest that, in arguing for Nunes as primarily a willing dupe, our peerless leader may have skated too blithely past conspiracy. Criminal conspiracies aren’t just about agreements to commit criminal acts; they also include agreements that envision the use of superficially legal authority to facilitate, assist, encourage or participate in the criminal acts of others.
Put another way: a criminal conspiracy put simplistically is a knowing & willful agreement between 2 or more individuals to commit a criminal act or collection of criminal & non-criminal acts to achieve a criminal purpose, but note first that said ‘collection’ can include ‘non-criminal acts’, and note as well that the ‘knowing & willful’ part, the mental element if you will, can include a willingness to do something legal while knowing that it does or will facilitate the commission of a crime by someone else, AND that it may be sufficient to make out a case for prosecution and guilt that the individual who’s agreed or to do the otherwise ‘legal’ act that he knows simply that his act or contemplated act is part of a scheme to commit some crime of which he is not, and need not be, fully aware of all details or even the overall scope.
In this regard, the so-called Ostrich instruction would appear to be arguably relevant here: that someone in Nunes’ position, which all that Nunes knew, would have stick his head in the sand to avoid seeing what he was doing and being asked to agree to do was part of an attempted obstruction of legal process or conspiracy to avoid or evade legal process.

Sanctimonious News Gathering and Dissemnination

In light of the tactic and strategy of the “professing Christian members” of the GOP (and, those within the ranks of America’s Conservative Corporate Media!) to use Scripture in their defence of their use of “FAKE NEWS” during this just completed U.S. Federal Election, I thought it appropriate to add a few Scriptural references of my own, to counter some erroneous “Christian Conservative predilections”, about how “CHRISTIANS” are to communicate amongst themselves!… let alone, communicate to the rest of the “unbelieving world”!

In other words, Trump can’t hide behind a state’s claim that a state-legislated MORATORIUM holds sway over DUE PROCESS and EQUAL PROTECTION!! But also!… no one making such a claim (and given the importance of same!), should be held blameless if such a claim is PROVEN to be false!… and so, N-E-C-E-S-S-I-T-A-T-I-N-G I-M-M-E-D-I-T-E F-B-I I-N-V-O-L-V-E-M-E-N-T (at the very least!), and a court’s determination– one way, or another!

.
Furthermore, we may very well find– given the P-R-O-V-E-N veracity of the C-H-I-L-D A-B-U-S-E/ C-H-I-L-D R-A-P-E allegations!– that the T-R-U-E R-E-A-S-O-N this “character” became involved in this race at this time, was to H-I-D-E from these allegations within the “smoke screen” of a U.S. Federal Presidential Election (AND, THROUGH THE ASSISTANCE OF– HOW SHALL I PUT IT?– “LIKE-MINDED” “OFF-SHORE INTERESTS”!… AND, QUITE POSSIBLY, “LIKE-MINDED” “ELECTORAL COLLEGE INTERESTS”!… SEE, PROVERBS 28: 1!)!… and!… I-N T-H-E G-U-I-S-E O-F S-E-R-V-I-N-G H-I-S C-O-U-N-T-R-Y!

And… honestly!… I wouldn’t put it past this “POTUS HUXSTER” and “HUSTLER” to have “played” the RNC, America, and his alleged RAPE VICTIM (and her family!), in order to escape the “cuffs of justice”!!… i.e., at least, given what we’ve come to learn about his P-R-O-V-E-N “MISOGYNIST HUBRIS (to put it mildly!)”! In other words, such “dysic behavior” by Trump, I-S N-O-T “out of the blue”!
.
Simply put!… if what is alleged of Donald Trump is T-R-U-E, THEN THIS “POTUS ELECT”, S-H-O-U-L-D N-O-T H-O-L-D O-F-F-I-C-E!! I-N-D-E-E-D!… N-O P-R-E-S-I-D-E-N-T-I-A-L W-A-N-N-A_B-E U-N-D-E-R S-U-C-H A C-L-O-U-D, S-H-O-U-L-D B-E E-N-T-I-T-L-E-D T-O B-E I-N T-H-E W-H-I-T-E H-O-U-S-E! AND TRUMP SHOULD HAVE BEEN– AND SHOULD BE NOW!– C-O-M-P-E-L-L-E-D T-O S-T-E-P D-O-W-N!! Unless… and of course!… the reports that Huffington Post (and MANY others!) have been publicizing, are all “FAKE NEWS”, and created by “ghost writers”!… and!… are but further examples, of “NETTROLLICIDE”!! And, the which… in that event!… should be held LIBELOUS (and regardless of any initiative by Donald Trump!… and, regardless of whoever proffered such “FAKE NEWS”!)! Or!… S-U-C-H B-E A-C-T-E-D U-P-O-N! In other words, the FBI– at least!– should be addressing such “FAKE NEWS”!… OR, ACTING UPON LEGIT NEWS ACCOUNTS, THAT HAVE REPORTED ACCURATE CLAIMS INVOLVING DONALD TRUMP IN ACTS OF C-H-I-L-D A-B-U-S-E/ C-H-I-L-D R-A-P-E!! And DITTO, for A-N-Y News of such acts involving A-N-Y O-T-H-E-R N-O-T-A-B-L-E A-M-E-R-I-C-A-N P-O-L-I-T-I-C-A-L F-I-G-U-R-E!!
.
In addition to what may be true or bogus in a host of reports flying around the Net that Netizens (and American voters!) should have been– but, should be now!– up in arms about pertaining to the once candidates in this just past U.S. Federal Election, we can now add these previously cited “CRIMINAL TALES” involving Hillary and Bill Clinton to the list (though, I’m of the view, that the reports about Trump are A-C-C-U-R-A-T-E!)!
.
Freedom of the Press is one thing!… but, Freedom to create HAVOC through “FAKE NEWS”, is quite another!! And it’s this HAVOC!… this attempted NETTROLLICIDE (if proven to be so!)!… that the FBI– apparently!– is NOW honing in on (i.e., re their recent preoccupation… among others!… with “FAKE NEWS”!)!!… and, is attempting to end!! Although!… and despite the veracity of the said evidence pertaining to Trump reported by the Huffington Post (among others!), the NECESSARY INVESTIGATION concerning the allegations involving Donald Trump, have yet to be given as much consideration as the “reports” of “FAKE NEWS (ummm!)”!! And!… please note!… it is not– in my view!– the C-O-N-S-T-I-T-U-T-I-O-N-A-L-L-Y S-A-N-C-T-I-O-N-E-D R-O-L-E of the FCC, to act as “INFORMATION ARBITER”, and/ or, “INFORMATION POLICE”, re “FAKE NEWS”!
.
And so… and again!… if the FBI would consider the reports covered by the Huffington Post (among others!) as “FAKE NEWS”, THEN THE FBI SHOULD DO ITS JOB, AND SHUT DOWN THIS BREACH OF THE U.S. FEDERAL STALKING STATUTE (AND THEREBY, THE BREACH OF THE CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED SECURITY OF THE PERSON OF DONALD TRUMP!… WINK, WINK!)!… AND, HOLD TO ACCOUNT THE “INSTIGATING/ INITIATING AUTHORS” OF THIS “FAKE NEWS (VICTIM, OR OTHERWISE!… WINK, WINK!)”!!
.
But!… if the Media reports (OF WHATEVER LEGITIMATE STRIPE!) alleging Donald Trump’s involvement in C-H-I-L-D A-B-U-S-E/ C-H-I-L-D R-A-P-E can’t be challenged (i.e., because these reports are “R-E-A-L N-E-W-S”!… WINK, WINK!)!… and the “victim” is compelled to follow-through with her “civic duty” to finalize her EARNEST INVOCATION (by mandating policing protection for her!… and, because the FBI, and she, would be– AND SHOULD BE!– held criminally and tortiously accountable for failing to complete a process that she E-A-R-N-E-S-T-L-Y began!… WINK, WINK!), then the FBI is “D-U-T-Y B-O-U-N-D” to effect the necessary criminal investigation, and any concomitant subsequent C-R-I-M-I-N-A-L A-R-R-E-S-T!
.
To cite further biblically-based admonitions for the benefit of Donald Trump, and the Christian-conservative members of the GOP (but, etc.!)!… GALATIANS 6: 7, states… “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return (BUT NOTE THE ENSUING, LUKE 10: 16!).” [NIV]
.
In Luke 10: 16, Jesus states to His servants– in advance of their mission:… “Whoever listens to you (a Christian Messenger!) listens to Me (Jesus Christ!); whoever rejects you (a Christian Messenger!) rejects Me (Jesus Christ!); but whoever rejects Me (Jesus Christ!) rejects Him who sent Me (i.e., GOD!)!” [NIV]
.
And Matthew 25: 40, states… “And the King answering (Jesus!), will say to them, “Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these brothers of Mine (E.G., ABUSING A CHILD; COLLUDING WITH HURTFUL, AND GODLESS FOREIGN POWERS; FAILING TO ADHERE TO ROMANS 13: 1- 3; AND, FAILING TO ADHERE TO A COUNTRY’S GODLY INSPIRED PARAMOUNT LAW AND LESSER LAWS IN REGARD TO THE NEEDS OF THE LEAST OF THOSE OF CHRIST!), you did it, T-O M-E.” [Berean Literal Bible]
.
On the matter of the WikiLeaks of Julian Assange… Julian Assange will be vindicated for his uncovering of the truth re sundry U.S. Military Strategic “Tactical Operations” that saw the wrongful deaths of innocent civilians, in the same manner that sundry were vindicated in the uncovering of the truth about the My Lai Massacre (see, My Lai Massacre – Wikipedia!)! And!… DARE A-N-Y-O-N-E suggest today, that revealing the truth about what happened at My Lai, was a BETRAYAL of the interests of America, and of American Security!
.
Most Americans– I suggest!– have seen (or at least, have heard about!) the Wizard of Oz!… and, are– somehow!– familiar with the FAKE WIZARD behind the curtain! And despite the thunder, the lightening, and the smoke, Americans are just not buying what Trump is selling!… and, have converged (and are converging!) on his “MENTAL LARE”!… and– INDEED!– on his “TOWER”! And Trump’s F-A-I-L-E-D A-T-T-E-M-P-T at dumping ObamaCare, is but one example of the “political convergence” yet to come!
.
Simply put!… as a consequence of Trump’s constant attempts to evade accountability through a series of “Wizardian tactics”, the once assumed disappearing “Trump elephant” in the Oval Office, has– unfortunately (for Trump!)!– M-A-G-I-C-A-L-L-Y REAPPEARED!
.
AND SO… OH POTUS TRUMPETER!… IT’S TIME TO BOARD THE BALLOON!
.
Please!… no emails!
March 4. Trump Tweet
March 5. Political imbeds (Cohen-Watnick) search FISA transcripts for anyone in the “Trump Inner circle” who was discussed by foreign governments
March 7. Flynn registers as foreign agent
March 9. AP reports Flynn registration
March 10. McMaster fires political imbed Cohen-Watnick
March 14. Bannon et al reverse Cohen-Watnick’s firing
March 15. Trump “clarifies” what he means by wiretapping and promise more info to come
March 21. Cohen-Watnick gives intercepts to Nunes
Sure looks like the Trump team told Flynn to register as a foreign agent because they needed to give transcripts to Devin Nunes to justify Trump’s Tweet
McMaster suspected Cohen-Watnick of leaking to Flynn, but perhaps his job was saved because he was “just following orders”
So who advised Flynn to register?
