Fox News has come out with a new report with multiple sources in the intelligence community that appears to vindicate Devin Nunes amid all of this scandalous and breathless media coverage.

Here are a few of the highlights:

1. The surveillance that led to the unmasking started way BEFORE Trump was the GOP nominee

2. The person who did the unmasking is very high up in the intelligence world and is not in the FBI

3. The people reported by the NY Times were not Nunes sources. They only helped him navigate the intelligence







4. Nunes was told about the unmasking of Trump’s team back in January BEFORE Trump’s tweet about Obama’s spying.

5. It took a while to coordinate Nunes seeing the intelligence reports in order to protect his source. They chose the White House because it was the only other location they could view the reporting without outing the source.

6. None of this has anything to do with Russia.

Here’s the video report:

Here’s a few tweets from directly from Adam Housely on the matter:

Our sources: This surveillance that led to the unmasking of private names of American citizens started before Trump was the GOP nominee. — Adam Housley (@adamhousley) March 31, 2017

Our sources:The person who did the unmasking is "very well known, very high up, very senior, in the intelligence world & is not in the FBI — Adam Housley (@adamhousley) March 31, 2017

Our sources: Unmasking the names and then spreading the names was for political purposes that have nothing to do with national security — Adam Housley (@adamhousley) March 31, 2017

Our sources: "It had everything to do with hurting and embarrassing Trump and his team" — Adam Housley (@adamhousley) March 31, 2017

I will also note…my sources are "not Trump people" They are "just frustrated with the politicalization of our intelligence agencies" — Adam Housley (@adamhousley) March 31, 2017

Note the last tweet. If Housley is correct in his reporting, and I’m guessing he is, then this absolutely blows the roof off the media’s attempt to paint Nunes as a Trump cultist who is just trying to cover for Trump.

As I said all along, Nunes has handled himself as a class act and has taken a beating from the media for daring to inform the President and the media of his preliminary findings.

They can gripe about him not going to the committee first if they want, but it sounds like there’s a huge story about to break once he gets the intelligence into his committee and that’s exactly where the media’s focus should be.
