Hmmm… obtuse swampy defense surfaces. CTH smells the strong residue of UniParty Flak and Countermeasures. Unfortunately, not necessarily surprising.
During an interview with Fox News Brett Baier, the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Trey Gowdy, claims former Ambassador Samantha Power did not initiate all the unmasking incidents attributed to her. [Video Prompted – just hit play]
[04:35 Video] Brett Baier: “You are also looking, and have talked to the former Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power. We reported that she requested or her officer requested 260 plus efforts to unmask, in other words, get who was talking about picked up in surveillance. How did she answer that question? Why so many?”
Trey Gowdy: “Well, I’ll tell you broadly, uh Brett, I think if she was on your show, she would say those attempt to unmask may have been attributed to her. But they greatly exceed, by an exponential factor, the requests that she actually made. So that’s her testimony, uh, and, and she was pretty emphatic. The surveillance community, the intelligence community, has assigned this number of requests to her – her perspective, her testimony is: ‘they may be under my name, but I did not make those requests‘.”
“So, we’ve got to get to the bottom of that; if there was someone else making requests on behalf of a principal in the intelligence community we need to know that because we are getting ready to reauthorize a program, that’s really important to the country, but also has a masking component to it.”
Suspicious cat remains increasingly suspicious.
Would the Awans have the necessary access to systems, passwords etc., to have got in and used her name. Just thinking that could be what made them so indispensable to DWS.

Glad to hear so many people now off the Gowdy wagon – he’s a total snake… always pretending he’s Mr Law & Order and totally principaled, but that act has become so old and transparently false now that I don’t even like watching him anymore. The consumate snake oil salesman /politician, all talk and no action.

Only certain people are allowed by law to make the unmasking requests; those authorized persons cannot delegate their authority. Whoever used Power’s identity to authorize the requests committed a serious crime. Has Gowdy sent the DoJ/FBI a referral for criminal prosecution for identity theft of the national security kind?
I wonder if Power was asked whether the unmasking requests were done with her knowledge or least tacit permission, generally. Then asked specifically.

Well, uh, Trey…. she’s a liar, a dishonest person, just like you.
And, uh, Trey… what she might say on somebody’s TV show isn’t necessarily what they might say UNDER OATH in a court of LAW, is it, Trey?
You should see what see Benghazi Susan said on TV. You, uh, remember Susan Rice, don’t you?
Weren’t you the ‘head’ of that circus, the ‘committee to nowhere’ investigation on the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three brave Americans who tried to rescue him, USFS officer Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty — men who were LEFT BEHIND to die, by the Hussein administration and Twisted Hillary Clinton?
Who did your investigation hold accountable, Mr. Gow-dee?
You better crawl back under your rock, Trey.
There’s no need for anyone to hear the garbage that comes out of your mouth.

Trey Gowdy should end up in Gitmo in a cage right next to Samantha Power.

Are you testifying now, Mr. Gowdy?!?
Are you vouching for Samantha Power now?
Can you even IMAGINE a Demonrat defending a Conservative in this manner?!?
But here’s Trey, going to bat for the criminal political-class, like always.
You make me SICK, Trey.

Oh, well… you didn’t say that before. If she was “pretty emphatic”, well, that changes everything!
What a freakin’ sideshow routine this bottom-dwelling swamp-weasel is.
I hope they prosecute you, Trey Gowdy.
It’s the least they could do, for what you have done to our country and to the American People.
