Mike 03
(16,616 posts)M: As I said, this matter is unprecedented...
Nunes is trying to argue that it's "wrong" that this was ever made public in the first place.
bdamomma
(63,791 posts)it was going to come out anyway, and we the public need to know. Crap. I hate repigs.

(53,342 posts)Maguire stating it could have been an individual within the WH or other areas with whom the call transcripts were shared.
Mike 03
(16,616 posts)"Leaks, leaks..."
MaGuire says it might have been someone INSIDE the White House! But he can't say and doesn't know for sure.
nolabear
(41,930 posts)The fumfering and obfuscating is astounding. Maguire isnt having it.
What a tool.
bigbrother05
(5,995 posts)Walked through who in IC had access that could have leaked transcripts, but failed to mention that the DNI passed to DoJ OLC and that Trump said that everyone in the WH was having a good laugh about the complaint.
Everyone knows the WH and DoJ have leaked like a sieve since Jan 2017.
