they picked up when they monitored his undeclared visit was that the crown prince of united arab emirates came to new york city and he came to trump tower for a meeting. in december 2016, undisclosed to the. s. government, the emwroughty crown prince met at trump tower with mike flynn, steve bannon, and jared kushner, america's own crown prince. cnn reports today that when obama snashl security adviser susan rice unmasked the names of these three americans, these three trump advisers, it was because he was looking at a intelligence intercept trying to figure out what the emwroughty crown prince was doing in the united states. on this visit that he explicitly did not declare with the u.s. government. and that's exactly the kind of circumstances under which national security officials would unmask a u.s. name on a intelligence intercept. if you need to do that to figure out what some foreign surveillance target was up to in in country. what he was up to was this secret meeting in trump tower with flynn, bannon and kushner. that meeting at trump tower was on december 11th then the emirati guy turned up

flynn, jared kushner, and steve bannon to better understand why the crown prince of united arab emirates was in nework last year to meet with them. the obama administration reportedly felt misled by the uae because it didn't mention the prince was traveling here as is customary. the committee was satisfied with her testimony that she did not leak the names. meanwhile, national secured advice or a trimester is cracking down on the leaks. he needs to do that. but as we'd obtained a memo she sent to all departments requesting they hold a training session. ed says "a review of the nondisclosure agreement reminds us of the response abilities that come with access to and penalties for unauthorized disclosure of classified information. however, it is equally important to discuss the importance of protecting controlled unclassified and personally identifiable information from unauthorized disclosure. it will be time well spent to shine a spotlight on the importance of this issue and engage the workforce and conversation about what it means to be a steward of the united states government information" ." tha
