Obama's UN Ambassador Susan Power: I Didn't Make Those Unmasking Requests. Someone Must Have Made Them Using My Credentials.

Then that would be a major crime, right?

Someone within the Obama administration’s intelligence apparatus made requests to unmask the identity of Americans named in intelligence reports on behalf of Samantha Power, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

That's what Power told the House Intelligence Committee last week during a closed-door interview.

South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy revealed in an interview on Fox News on Tuesday that Power was “emphatic” on the point that someone else in the Obama administration made the unmasking requests that have been attributed to her.

Fox News recently reported that Power made approximately 260 unmasking requests -- a rate of one per business day -- in her final year in office, including up through the end of Obama’s term.

I'm halfway willing to believe this -- but then, I'm gonna need a major investigation to find out which Obama personnel were using Power's logins and such to illegally make these unmasking requests.

Apparently someone without the power to do so himself -- or someone who had the authority, but knew he was engaged in an illegal operation, and so wanted to conceal his identity.

Ms Power, who might have had access to your ID and Pword? Would you care to name a name? Otherwise, we just have to assume it was you, because you are super smart and would have protected you id and pword because of your super secret access.

So who "took" your password and made the requests against your knowledge?

106 Secured government facilities where these requests are being made have cameras. Everywhere.

A request is made from a computer using credentials only authorized for use by that person.

Ergo you could quickly find out if she's lying. Which I believe she is. She's ass covering. There is no reason for her to make those requests. It would only be as part of a broader scheme.

Posted by: Marcus T at October 18, 2017 12:41 PM (brsgu)

107 There are many problems with this.


1) If someone was posing as Power, it means they obtained her credentials somehow. Either she shared them with someone (a big no-no), or they purloined them against her knowledge (a REALLY BIG no-no).



2) Regardless of how this "other person" got her credentials, the fact that s/he was permitted to continue making these requests in such large numbers without anyone actually asking Power's office, "Uh, why is the Ambassador so interested in unmasking these people?" means there's been a major breakdown in the chain of approval somewhere. Someone SHOULD have noticed and SHOULD have mentioned this behavior to higher authorities. They're fricking intelligence analysts; they should be able to smell something's off when the Ambassador is making, like, 2 unmasking requests a day.



3) Which makes one wonder: if someone DID notice, and DID report the irregularities, why was it allowed to continue? Don't bother to answer, we all know why: because Obama. But of course that doesn't excuse this gross lapse in judgment. Even if Power herself was making the requests - and I believe she was and this latest pushback is just an attempt to keep the wolves at bay - there should have been inquiries made and lines drawn. That becomes 100 times more obvious if her story is true and it was someone posing as her who was making the requests.

They have the courts, they have complete cover within the legal system. They have the Deep State. The cops can bring cases to them all day and the prosecutors will sit on them, crush them or SJW them.

"The unmasking of names is supposed to be done by a small group who have
the authority to do it. If others were given the ability to unmask in
the name of one of the principals then there is no real limit on how
many people could unmask the incidentals collected. And no way to know
who they are.

Obama greatly expanded the number of people who
could access, on an ipad or such, anywhere, the Presidential Daily Brief
which is classified at the highest level. The unmasked names would be
in this electronic document. Were all the 30+ people who got the PDB
authorized to use the name of a principal to unmask? Were even more
people? For either access to the PDB or to do unmaskings?

Hillary
sacrificed all national security to hide corrupt financial dealings
enriching herself. Did Obama sacrifice national security to do political
warfare using national intelligence agencies as his witting or unwitting
dupes?"

Of course he did. Giving power to a lefty Democrat is matches and gasoline to an idiot child.

179 Jonah Goldberg's "Tyranny of Cliche's" comes to mind, in the sense that once some technical-sounding name gets attached to a story, or issue, the lazy media just keeps using the same word, to sound smaht.

So, Hillary's selling influence to the Russkies becomes "The Clinton Foundation scandal" i.e. something vague and meaningless. Hillz' putting her own communications in such an insecure environment as to have virtually guaranteed that every major foreign intelligence service had a window into the SoS and POTUS decision making on foreign policy, i.e. spilling top level Presidential intentions to our enemies, becomes "an email scandal."

So it is with the "unmasking." Every functional retard in the MSM covers this as the "unmasking scandal" or "unmasking allegations" that means Jake Shite to most Americans. Call it what it is: spying on Americans, and more particularly, spying on the political opponents of Obama-Clinton Inc. Not blaming Ace for this, who does call it for what it is; just incredibly frustrating that to the extent these stories get traction, they do so under these abstruse, bloodless terms.

Jeff Sessions should be holding a press conference on domestic SPYING, with high level presentations by Congressional Intelligence Committees. This is way worse than the crap that resulted in the once-famous Church Hearings.

But, as one prior poster has pointed out, it seems that the sheer volume of corruption and treason of the prior administration had deadened most people's ability to care anymore. Sad.

Clearly there were no warrants issued...

Fun thing? The Agency which has the information is the one you must make the request to... FBI is in charge of counter espionage in the US... so would have been the appropriate agency....

Thus, right back to Comey's desk...

185 I'm gonna need a major investigation to find out which Obama personnel were using Power's logins and such to illegally make these unmasking requests.

========

This is interesting. I can understand an immediate subordinate lying, saying "Power has asked me to request an unmasking. Compile the report and deliver it to me".

But in this case (using her login), wouldn't the report be delivered to her? Didn't she think it was odd when a bunch of reports started to pile up in her in-box?

211 For over two years Bill Clinton averaged one flight per month on Jeffrey Epsteins Lolita Express, often accompanies by Epsteins underage masseuses.

Has that ever been investigated?

The Russians, through a Canadian front company, gave over $100 million to the Clintons, getting approval of their purchase of US uranium mines in return.

Has that even been investigated?

We can make a list a mile long, but the point is too obvious to belabor: Jeff Sessions is in place to stop investigations, or let the criminals investigate themselves, and not to drain the swamp.

The point of decimation was it was done by the rest of the legion. They'd draw lots, 1/10th would be losers, then the other 9/10ths would have to beat the "winners" to death. Failure to follow through likely meant everyone got a cross, but I've never read of an instance where that happened.

What is interesting to me in the process...

In order to ask for an 'unmasking', you must know that the conversation exists... that it was intercepted.

How the hell did she know about these conversations in the first place??? Someone at some other Agency must have TOLD her (or whoever asked for the unmasking ) about said intercept.

FBI is in charge of counter espionage in this country... NSA outside the country.... CIA spies on our enemies (but only supposedly outside the country)...

Just who in the hell HAD the conversations in the first place? Who was the Agency in charge, and why the hell did they not question why the UN Ambassador was asking to unmask said conversations?

They know they can lie and get away with it so why tell the truth when they CAN prosecute you for that?

These House/Senate Investigations are dog and pony shows for the public. To make everyone think something's being done.

You wanna know what is really freaky about these unmaskings?

Say that you are a Russian, and you are worried your conversations might be intercepted by the NSA. If you have an asset embedded in the bureaucracy that can request the unmasking of US Nationals who were involved in the conversation, and then that information is widely shared and leaked, then you know the Feds are listening to your conversations.

It also works the other way, if your embedded asset is leaking national security information to the NYTimes, or unmasking US Nationals that get caught up in the intercepts, you risk exposing your embedded asset.

Under the law, it does not go to the FISA court.

The request goes to the Agency who has the intercept... and THEY decide if it is a valid request.

They then provide the unmasked intercept, and the originator has 24 hours to get a Warrant, or they must destroy the information.

Needless to say.... that's not what happened... the information was spread all over...

But the FISA courts are not involved unless you legally want to keep the information for over 24 hours...

But the ONLY penalty for not following the law? is that the information can't be used in a Court of Law... which these people don't care about anyway.

Posted by: Don Q. at October 18, 2017 01:20 PM (NgKpN)

330 If the evidence points to Susan Power doing the unmasking, and by evidence I would assume some form of paper or electronic requests that uniquely identify her as requesting these, then she's guilty. If she claims evidence, let her come forth with exonerating proof it wasn't her.

1) OK, who did you share your login/passwords with?
2) Who was authorized to make these requests on your behalf? Proof they had had the authorization. Names, dates, etc.

352 Here's hoping that the NBA follows the NFL down into the dustbin of history.

I was a long time Magic fan, primarily due to the fact that BBoySquared was as tall as I was when he was 12 y/o. He was a natural for basketball despite his birth defects.

He played for a couple of years and I kept on being a fan. I slowed down when they let Shaq leave without so much as getting another center to replace him. Since then, they've screwed the pooch on nearly every trade since then. I got tired of watching other teams in playoff games and going, "Oh, he used to play for the Magic. Hey, so did he." A few years of that pretty much turned me off. Then there was the Bronco Bama years. Now I'm convinced they're just a tax write-off for the DeVos family. Basically a D-league team that's in the big league as a farm team.

That they're turning SJW just cements my decision to abandon that sport too. F' them.

You cannot use dog shit to fertalize your lawn.

Dogs eat animal protein and their feces contain parasites that are harmful to humans.

You could compost it but then you would have to compost it for a long time to make sure the parasites were killed.

384 Did Eric Holder need months and months of painstaking following of laws and painstaking procedures to get off his ass and do what HIS President wanted done?

Nope, he blew off the law, ignored the constitution and just did whatever the hell he wanted. Somehow I don't want our AG doing that. Do you?

========

We live in strange times. It may be what is necessary at this point to counteract the damage of the last eight years. You don't normally go about killing people, but if they are trying to attack you, lethal force is justified. It's not normal behavior, but being attacked is not a normal circumstance. The question is, is the response justified?

"Plus, when a Democrat goes after a target, they don't have both parties and the media protecting their targets. Holder didn't have remnants of the previous president in the justice department actively working to undermine his work and protect their targets for investigation.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at October 18, 2017 01:18 PM (39g3+)"

========

So, purge the remnants. And people mainly ignore the media anyway. That's why we see all these protestations "the media is a valuable institution! And we must respect it!" We need to wage all out war on these people at some point. Power would be a good start. Not Hillary, not a minority. The left would be unable to generate any controversy about her.

I agree, its idiotic to keep any of these people in the government and there must be a big purge. Why its not happening more is completely infuriating to me. It is happening some places; Donald Carson is basically gutting the Housing and Urban Development, for example. Way under the radar, nobody is noticing that.

Here's my question(s):

Power claims someone else did this using her name.

What
is the process? Is it automated via a .gov system? Does the system
still allow a user ID and password for login or is it, like almost all
.mil systems, one that requires the use of a Common Access Card or a
specially chipped "token" card for access, i.e. something that someone
must physically have in their possession, insert into a card reader at
the terminal, and know the PIN in order to access the system?

Even government computers that are non-military require a chipped ID card for access to the computer. Beyond that, yes, she likely would have had to have a username and password, and the password would have had to have been changed every few months. So who else had access to her information?

394 If someone else did this, How does she know?

Is she assuming that because SHE didn't do it that means that someone else did?

She wasn't asked to speculate on who are what. She was asked if she did it or who did it. She supposedly doesn't know.
Why didn't she raise alarms then?

But hey, do go on pretending he's doing nothing because he won't
obey your commands this instant exactly as you wish. Its not like he
has to obey the law or follow procedures. Not like it takes time to
build a solid case or anything, particularly against powerful people. I
mean, you'd know everything he's doing right, working in the Justice
Department yourself and all...
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at October 18, 2017 01:09 PM (39g3+)

399 If Powers did not make the requests, how does she explain the obvious follow-on, i.e., she must have received the responses to those requests or were those sent elsewhere. One must assume that the person requesting the unmasking information would also be the recipient of the intelligence response providing the answer.

400 As always, want to know who did something ask cui bono, who benefits?

Who benefited from unmasking private communications of Trump staffers during an election year? Probably the same person who leaked it to the press. Who made such a leak impossible to find by signing an executive order distributing the informational as widely as possible? Who was obsessed with his legacy? Who committed crimes that only the next corrupt democrat could cover up? Who is building a presidential library that has no papers in it? Who had the authority to get Susan Rice's password and ID?

Who?

Sessions is the Attorney General. He's in charge of the Justice Department. ICE and the FBI are both part of the Justice Department. Do you think the AG of the United States is going to swoop in personally like Superman and grab people? He's in charge, he's the CEO. He directs people to talk actions and they take action.

405 What is worse for Power to commit perjury or to admit she illegally unmasked all kinds of Trump transition people at the behest of Obama or someone high up in his administration?

I say, she is willing to take the perjury charge over answering any more questions on unmasking. If her claim is that she 'didn't do it,' it is on CONGRESS to prove that she did. Will they be able to do this? How long will it take?

I think Power lied to avoid having to answer more questions and weighed her options. She is hoping that they cannot clearly make the connection back to HER...if they do, she'll take the perjury hit along with any other charges. But at this stage, to lie was her best and only option.
