Report: Secret Source Who Aided Mueller Probe Is Deemed Off Limits To Congress
Daily Caller ^ | 05/09/2018 | Chuck Ross

House Republicans are again battling with the Justice Department over information related to the Russia investigation, this time over documents the intelligence community said involves a top-secret source who has provided information to the CIA and FBI.

The mysterious source has also gathered information that was given to Special Counsel Robert Mueller as part of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to The Washington Post.

WaPo reported Justice Department and intelligence community officials issued a stark warning to the White House on May 2 against a request from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. Nunes had submitted a subpoena to the Justice Department on April 24 for records related to the Russia probe.

Justice Department and intelligence community officials argued to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly that complying with the subpoena would reveal the identity of a top-secret source and would undermine protocol regarding intelligence sources, according to WaPo.

NOTE: DC says that according to WaPo Kelly discussed the issue with Trump, who sided with the intelligence officials.

Nunes claimed that they are using national security as an excuse to not allow congressional oversight. Maybe Judicial Watch will make a statement.

It’s probably Brennan or Clapper or Susan Rice. More CYA.

We shall see if Trump denies that he “sided with security officials.”

Hang it over their head for a while, and drop it closer to the election...

Why issue a warning to a separate branch of government?

It was an analyst at a “Five Eyes” partner. They have complete immunity to spy on us with abandon and we route access to everything to them for review.

It gets completely around our quaint laws requiring court orders or search warrants.

It’s obscene.

That's assuming WaPo is truthful and not misleading. "sided with security officials" might not mean what we think.
