A massive revelation in the alleged surveillance of President Trump’s aides broke Monday morning when Bloomberg reported that “[f]ormer National Security Adviser Susan Rice requested the identities of U.S. persons in raw intelligence reports on dozens of occasions that connect to the Donald Trump transition and campaign.” With their identities unmasked, it allowed for someone to freely and illegally leak their names to the press. It’s controversial news but ABC and NBC both chose to ignore it that night, while CBS defended Rice.

“This is at least 100 times worse than Watergate so I purposely watched ABC national news last night after the local news went off and not ONE SINGLE MENTION OF IT. These partisan news agencies are just as guilty of propaganda by NOT REPORTING NEWS that shows dimocrats law breaking as they are when they make something up.”

This is why:

Yes, break up the media! Everything is owned by 5 or 6 corps. Bring back the anti propaganda law too.

It is interesting seeing how the Opposition Party is responding.

You are, of course, referring to the media.

As Mark Levin said yesterday, the defense is easily rebutted by saying that the proper process was to get a FISA court warrant to surveil the suspected Americans.

Repeated "reverse targeting" of Russians known to be in contact with Trump associates creates a pattern of criminality that is ignored when the MSM treats each individual incident as legal without regard for the bigger picture.

-- saw some suggesstions in the comments on earlier threads re Hannity prog today ith Eli Lake/Sara Carter, that the consensus was everything was legal. --

Careful with that "everything." Plus, we have a fact vacuum. The snooping, unmasking, minimization, etc. may or may not have been legal. We have too little information to go by.

You are right on the money about the leaking being illegal.

Trump did a good job in his March 4 tweets. He did not assert that the snooping was illegal. He did not assert that any unmasking was illegal.

The talking heads are doing what they always do, fill the time with speculation, deliberately mis-framed arguments, misleading "statements of fact," and outright falsehood.

Crickets on USAToday as well!

Like they are supposed to just come out and Confess that they have been part of this espionage from the beginning, they Probably were. ANd if and when the evidence comes out, it will most likely show a whole lot of media outlets were Complicit and Part of the Conspiracy to commit Espionage.

The press covered up for John Edwards, Teddy Kennedy and many other democrats. This isn’t a surprise. The press is corrupt and in bed with Democrats.

That media says Trump is dangerously “attacking” the press and its sacred constitutional rights and duties—after spending months and months of slandering him, mudslinging at him and his wife, pushing viciously digusting lies against him and his family...

Looks like the press was fed by Democrat opposition research teams (who PAY for info - just like the National Enquirer) and from LEAKS from our "Intelligence Services"... It's truly disgusting.

Take away the broadcast license. The companies involved would also not be able to sale their tv assets. Total loss.
It will make the next company think twice and three times not to undermine America.

Well this thing is defiantly going to blow.....I actually think those investigating this are keeping their hand close until they have all the facts.....and know exactly all those involved. But it's a mighty huge operation to bring down as its tentacles run clean across the nation.......as soon as there is one discovery it opens another.

That media says Trump is dangerously “attacking” the press and its sacred constitutional rights and duties—after spending months and months of slandering him, mudslinging at him and his wife, pushing viciously disgusting lies against him and his family, and suppressing anti-Dem news the people should be allowed to learn. We cannot be informed if they say what is not covered by them must be “fake news.” What absolute crap.

The one that bothers me the most is when liberal 'journalists' spend days trashing Trump then report 'concern' that his numbers are going down. They are such dreadful people.
