According to Housley, it was done at the direction of those very high up and was done so for a significant amount of time, which he described as unprecedented and blockbuster.
Transcript as follows:
We dont know who spoke to Devin Nunes. We know its not someone at the White House. We dont know who spoke to the White House about this other than what Nunes has said in front of press conferences. The sources we are talking to are separate from both of those entities. They dont really have a horse in this game. They are frustrated with the way they say the agencies are being politicized more than they have seen before in their careers. And one reason they are speaking out is because of that. The second reason is because Nunes came out in front of the cameras and has his finger on it, they say and want to make sure it is done correctly.
So for example, if I call somebody in Bulgaria, and thats picked up somehow by our agencies and theres nothing there involving national security, theres nothing there involving a crime, that report would come out and it would say American number one or my name would not be there. What Im told now is that when these reports came out, names were there and that is unprecedented. Basically, they say the information thats unmasking, these names of Americans who had done nothing wrong was disseminated to all of NSC, some at DoD, Clapper, Brennan basically the people at the top.

What weve learned is this from multiple sources is that its all about intelligence-gathering methods. The fact is, a lot of these men and women in the intelligence communities did not want to speak about whats going on because they were concerned about those methods being known. But now they figure they might as well at least clarify things since Nunes has been leaked to by someone they dont know or at least they tell me they dont know. We know that there was this there was surveillance of Trump and people close to Donald Trump including some supporters for up to a year before inauguration. That information was disseminated were told through NSA channels. Its unprecedented the way this was done. The mention of U.S. citizens is supposed to be masked. That means basically taken out of the report.
So for example, if I call somebody in Bulgaria, and thats picked up somehow by our agencies and theres nothing there involving national security, theres nothing there involving a crime, that report would come out and it would say American number one or my name would not be there. What Im told now is that when these reports came out, names were there and that is unprecedented. Basically, they say the information thats unmasking, these names of Americans who had done nothing wrong was disseminated to all of NSC, some at DoD, Clapper, Brennan basically the people at the top.
They also say Im told Rice knew about this possibly as well. Now, I know there are some reports out there that she was the one who ordered this. We do not know who reported this because we have not spoken to Devin Nunes about it. He has not at least told us these things. So, we dont know what papers he saw. Our sources dont know what papers he saw. They just tell us about the information about unmasking names from Donald Trump and his team and his family was disseminated to a very select few at the top and was done so for a significant amount of time. And that is blockbuster, guys. As far as we know hasnt been done at least in modern times when it comes to this type of thing. Also, as we look down at some of my notes here going through this, that there were also additional unmasking as well and, again, as far as we can tell, none of this had anything to do with national security.
Clapper, Brennan, Rice, Comey, McCabe, Lynch, ValJar....
It is a major crime to “unmask” the US persons incidentally captured in foreign intel surveillance. Where is our beloved FBI on this?
We know from Farkas that this was going on well before Trump got the nomination, or was a leading candidate to get the nomination.
The wife’s question was, “Why watch Trump so early on when it was considered unlikely he’d get the nomination? Isn’t it likely they were watching EVERY leading candidate to store up dirt for later use?”
Good question.
“Where is our beloved FBI on this?”
Still in bed with their god of the past eight years.
Annnnnd like the dems Russia ruse, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence besides here say that this is true, sadly
I hope Trump JD insists on jail time for all those crimes that were done for politial purposes
The FISA system comes up for a vote this fall to renew or cancel. While we have not heard much lately about FISA warrants being used, the FBI has to be very concerned about the news cycle as it will negatively impact or threatens to end what they claim is their best tool against domestic terrorism and espionage.
I want them ALL, every damn last one of them including McCain to ‘Hang in the Town Square’ and that is even to good for them...
May they burn in hell for eternity!!!!!!!!
Spying on every American would mean exactly that even Ted Cruz
Name names. Not “someone high up”... name them.
In other news: “Susan Rice” (MSM: Bloomberg)
FBI: Interview and arrest ASAP.
I would like to see this new administration and POTUS be more proactive with these holdovers.
Start revealing names. No more pussy-footing around!
Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Jeb!Bush, Robert Mercer, Robby Mook, John Podesta, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Hairy Reid, Tom Donahue, Eric Holder, The Chicago ‘godfather’...
-—Why watch Trump so early on?——
E pluribus unum
Trump was but one among many
All Republican Presidential candidates were surveilled!
This one for instance is supposed to be...
"...very high up and was done so for a significant amount of time..."
That's all fine and dandy but I'd much rather have this sort of info come from someone who is 'very, very high up' and has been doing it for a long, long time'.
Maybe it's just me, but...
