Chances are good that Boris Epshteyn was the active WH person under FISA

[GliderGuider]

Here's what we know for sure:

1. Last Sunday, March 19th, Devin Nunes let slip on air the fact that someone currently in the WH is under investigation and surveillance.

2. On Tuesday night, Nunes received a phone call and immediately abandoned his Uber ride and an accompanying staffer.

3. On Wednesday Nunes did his soft-shoe panic in front of the press, revealing that someone on the WH transition team was under legal (probably FISA) surveillance.

4. Though he didn't tell Adam Schiff anything, he spoke to Paul Ryan and immediately beetled over to the WH to tell the Donald whatever-it-was, in total violation of protocol.

5. On Saturday, Boris Epshteyn - a member of the transition team who was working as an adviser and surrogate for Trump - was gone from the WH.

That is what's known as strong circumstantial evidence.

The immediate question is who was "incidentally collected" in the surveillance on Boris. If the arc of the moral universe really does bend toward justice as Dr. King believed, it will have been the Donald himself.

1. Sounds likely actually, but there are so many reasons he should

have been removed, even more why he should never have been hired in the first place. Heck, his name alone these days, even if he wasn't a Russian immigrant.

Could be he just sucker-punched someone again, or made a pro-Semitic comment or anti-Semitic slur in front of the wrong person. That whole crowd of sharks probably slips close to losing it most days.

2. The FBI

now needs to pay Paul Ryan a visit....

3. I'm shocked! Is this the same Boris Epshteyn that was born in Moscow and...

...has "financial ties to the former Soviet Union, which include consulting through Strategy International LLC for 'entities doing business in Eastern Europe' and moderating a Russian-sponsored conference on 'investment opportunities in Moscow.'" ?????

4. My initial reaction is no, there are much bigger

fish involved. Epshtyn was/is doing the bidding of others. Why? Because of the huge amounts of Russian money involved. It defies logic that he had better reasons to raise sufficient suspicion. Kushner seems a more likely suspect.

Boris Epshteyn Named in July FISA Application; Did Nunes Obstruct Justice?

Mensch said when Nunes said on Fox News
"people working at the White House now," none are under intel investigation or surveillance "but one," he was tipping off Epshteyn on live television.

I do not believe that was a slip of the tongue. I believe he referred to Mr. Epshteyn and tipped him off on live television.

Further, Mr. Nunes’ rants about FISA warrants (plural – I have only reported one, more, clearly, may exist) ought not to be assumed to be fact free. Instead, they should be assumed to be a completely illegal and garbled recitation of classified information illegally acquired and distributed by Nunes. When he says what he read “did not relate to Russia” he means he read details of a money-laundering investigation under FISA (but it did relate to Russia). When Nunes says he “did not hear the word Russia” nor would he need to if he were illegally reading transcripts of conversations involving money laundering, names and amounts. And when he refers to a member “of the Presidential transition team” on which he himself sat, I believe he is referring to Boris Epshteyn.

Mr. Epshteyn has, again, not even been indicted, far less convicted in any court. But IF he is indeed under a top secret investigation and his buddy and Trump lackey Nunes has just discussed both the evidence against him and the fact that he is under investigation, then it is Representative Nunes who needs to be arrested. The House Intelligence Committee should do more than demand that Speaker Ryan remove Devin Nunes as chairman of the Russian hacking inquiry. It should call Nunes as a witness, under oath. Having sat myself on a Select Committee, I know very well that politicians become friends with their opposite numbers. It is hard indeed to turn on a colleague with whom one is friendly. But the Committee must steel themselves to their manifest duty. Removal of Mr. Nunes from the House Intelligence Committee is now a matter of the national security of the United States at the highest level.
