Worm beginning to turn?
[NYT] A long-simmering conflict between the National Security Agency and the House Intelligence Committee broke into the open on Sunday when the committee’s chairman, Representative Adam B. Schiff, accused the agency of withholding critical intelligence from his panel, including some that might be useful in the impeachment trial of President Trump.

#1 Signals collection against the President of the United States or any other US person (USP), or US political candidate is not within the mission parameters of the NSA.

Providing collection reporting (to the congress) on foreign entities which may contain 'incidental' USP discussions for legal or political purposes is illegal.

Schiff's efforts are destined to fail. He's simply seeking a convenient scapegoat.

#2 Yet another charge for the treason trial.

#3 Does he not realize he just incriminated himself if he knows the NSA was listening to a president in the US?

#4 Pff. NSA was already exposed by Snowden as illegally spying on Americans. Clapper lied under oath to Congress about it.

Nobody went to prison.
