House Speaker Paul Ryan said House Intelligence Chair Devin Nunes' got his secret information from a 'whistleblower-type person' and that he said he was going to 'brief everybody' on it.

That included President Donald Trump, who Nunes says was referred to in some of the surveillance he saw.

Ryan says he did not tell Nunes to rush over to the White House and share the information with the president.

'I told him to just add it to his investigation,' Ryan told CBS' Norah O'Donnell.

Revealing the truth is now a crime.

I’m okay with being in the dark as to what the information is if it’s being presented to a secret grand jury that will lead to future indictments.

From what I understand, the FBI is not cooperating in releasing the info. To me, their foot-dragging indicates they’re trying to cover something up — something in which they are complicit!

They weren’t really whistleblowers. None of that information was leaked at all. They just told Nunes where to find it.

If one is passing on even highly-classified information to someone else with appropriate access and a need to know, it ain’t leaking - period.

It’s very telling that the NYT seems to have no interest in what these guys exposed. I suspect it could be devastating.

Right. But in this case they didn’t even give him anything. He only viewed it there without taking any copies.

What’s more important, that appropriate legal investigation continue or thatat your curiousity is satisified?

Go google “Dennis Montgomery CIA” if you want to know stuff.

...and my question is : How did anyone get this information other than the people that Nunes talked to...

Maybe Katy Walsh, Reince, RINO RYAN, John McCain, Linda Graham, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, should I go on???

Have to read the whole article. Trey Gowdy offering to take over and sit down with Schiff... Lindsay Graham comments. Wrong headline in my opinion

This sounds like Ryan is getting the knife out for Nunes’s back.
Ryan: “I didn’t tell him to take it to the President”.

From all I seen from the FBI lately I have to agree with you. The FBI is not forthright in this matter.

Maybe. Maybe not. The names came from NYT. Someone may have leaked them false information.

Leaking is not limited to the distribution of hard copies. Even discussing classified information with a person who doesn’t have the appropriate clearance and access AND a need to know is leaking.
