Have to hold them accountable. It’s been some in the IC who have been behind the leaks and the effort to undermine. Pull their authorization until they behave.

Via Free Beacon:

Key lawmakers are threatening to cancel the authorization of sensitive U.S. spy operations until congressional leaders investigate efforts by former top Obama administration officials to leak highly classified national security information in what many believe was a targeted campaign to undermine the Trump administration, according to senior congressional sources familiar with the situation.

Key Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee are pressuring Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R., Va.) to investigate former senior Obama administration officials believed to be responsible for these anti-Trump leaks, including former United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power, National Security Adviser Susan Rice, and National Security Council official Ben Rhodes, according to sources who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon about mounting frustration over Congress’s failure to adequately investigate these leaks.

Lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee are prepared to halt key spy operations related to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, until Congress performs a full investigation into how damaging classified surveillance information targeting the Trump campaign and administration officials was leaked to the press.

Investigate them all, root out every single leaker and prosecute them into oblivion.

Oh, yeah? Which “key lawmakers” would those be?

I see they’re supposedly prepared to stop “key spy operations.”

Want to impair our intelligence gathering services, with the growing threat of North Korea making headlines every other day? If these “key lawmakers” actually exist, we’re evidently talking about some key idiots.

@Greg: Starting to see what the threat to national security is from leftists leaking classified information in an effort to try and damage Trump? All of this chaos and turmoil is due to the left trying to violate a legal election. Far too much time and effort has to be spent controlling and reversing the damage the crybabies are doing.

You all need to simply grow up.

All of this chaos and turmoil is due to the left trying to violate a legal election.

The chaos and turmoil result from the fact that exploited, delusional voters have put a morally challenged, incompetent no-nothing with a serious personality disorder in the White House. It’s as simple as that.

Don’t Look Away: Stuff Happens Fast In Trump’s First Summer In Washington

@Greg: Well, if the left would stop their crybaby antics and allow Trump to move his agenda along, we could see which of us is right, couldn’t we?

By the way, has even the slightest hint of evidence of Trump/Russian collusion been unearthed? Any evidence of what you liberals have been trying to invalidate a legal election over for 8 months?

By the way, has even the slightest hint of evidence of Trump/Russian collusion been unearthed?

The investigations haven’t ended. Their findings haven’t been made public. Neither you nor I knows what evidence they might have turned up, one way or the other.

@Greg: My question was, what is the first shred of evidence that has been found? I am not even asking what justifies this 8 months of spoiled foot-stomping, I am asking what is the first bit of evidence that makes this a viable use of time and money?

We KNOW that every intelligence chief has said NO evidence of collusion has been found and that there are liberals within this government that will leak anything they feel is harmful to Trump (if they can’t find it, they make it up). You want ME to believe that the reason not ONE SHRED of even the slightest evidence has been exposed is the integrity of the security surrounding the investigation and investigatory organizations? I know this: if they had found ANYTHING, we would know it.

Silly and weak.
