Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) pointed to his House counterpart Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) for the narrative that former national security adviser Susan Rice improperly "unmasked" or revealed the identities of Americans swept up in intelligence reports.

"The unmasking thing was all created by Devin Nunes, and I'll wait to go through our full evaluation to see if there was anything improper that happened," Burr told CNN in comments reported after his committee interviewed Rice in a closed session on Friday.


Does Trump associate with anyone who's not a criminal?

[Solly Mack]

1. A truism about Trump is: All those close to him have been compromised.

Either criminally or ethically. Usually both, and either serve his purpose.

[tanyev]

2. Created or relayed?

I suspect the entire fiasco was dreamed up by someone in the White House.

[Snake Plissken]

3. He's not smart enough to come up with this on his own, but he is the one who called the presser

And he is the one who used his position in the government to publicly lie about it.

[Ligyron]

9. Yeah, actually he's one of the ones stupid enough to.

Wonder what Trump has on him?

[malaise]

4. Get thee to the greatest page

My he go down in disgrace and end up in prison

[OnDoutside]

5. Wow, that's a big statement from Burr.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

6. gives one a little hope in the post Obama age.

[malaise]

7. This should be the #1 story tonight

LOCK HIM UP

[OnDoutside]

8. Absolutely. Even with so much having happened today, it's still a bigger story.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. But there's a bigger #1 story

11. They are all LIARS

Sessions was lying for the Con - this will be fun as they devour one another

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Yup. Lies are their default position. nt

[malaise]

13. Notice how Putin helps the Con

to try and sink Sessions.

I hope all those ReTHUGs wake up now

[BumRushDaShow]

14. Yup and some of the others should take note of that.

Puppet Master is now moving those strings and creating some theater.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. Isn't that another form of perjury before Congress?

Asking for a friend.

[bucolic_frolic]

16. There is a point where facts, logic, rule of law count for a lot

even for the most right wing conservative because without them all order, organization,
courts and judgments, count for nothing.

Inventing facts is a prescription for chaos. You can only ride that horse so far.

[frogmarch]

17. Burr will probably

decide that nothing improper happened.

I don't trust him.

[Honeycombe8]

18. I wonder if he intended to mean "created"? If he intended it, then Burr might be on the up and up.

However, if it was a slip in terms, then THAT is very telling.

[GeoWilliam750]

19. "Does Trump associate with anyone who's not a criminal? "

I assume that is a rhetorical question.

[raven mad]

20. No.

[not fooled]

21. Well

dump has put the lying on steroids but remember that the pukes had no problem making sh*t up to go after HRC and President Obama. Those dumbass congressional hearings that wasted large amounts of taxpayer dollars all in order to get HRC's name in the mediaduh with the association of "scandal".

Pukes have been practicing their gobbels-like Big Lie propaganda for a long time.

[George II]

22. Great to see a REPUBLICAN call him out on this and hint that something improper may have happened.

[duncang]

23. To me the reason he went for the run was

Someone at the WH told him they had something on him. And told him to get out there and dance. I wonder if there are tapes from the russian wine distributor party yacht?
