FR POSTED ——2008 DOJ rules limit supplying politically sensitive information to the White House, a review of guidelines for domestic FBI intel investigations has found. The central focus of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence probe into putative Russian election meddling as a cover to disseminate unauthorized disclosures of sensitive US intel communications intercepts.
The prohibitions may explain why the FBI still has not responded to a House request for documents about how the White House was able to “unmask” the names of Americans incidentally spied on during an apparently contrived Obama admin “foreign electronic intelligence operation” timed to run during the Trump transition team commenced its operations.
The House committee investigation centers on Susan E. Rice, then-Pres Obama’s national security adviser, and her involvement in clandestine political spying operations using foreign surveillance as her cover. She is the committee’s central witness to explain the unmasking and wide dissemination of what committee chair, Rep. Devin Nunes, has called “improper electronic surveillance of Trump transition team officials.” (EMPHASIS ADDED)
