They use last nights article and claim DC had foreknowledge and according to them the only way that could be is from Nunes.. That means I must have gotten my info from Nunes before them and not from the first article.

On Friday evening, both the New York Times and the Washington Post reported that an American professor in the United Kingdom had acted as a source for the FBI during the early stages of the bureau’s investigation of L’Affaire Russe. The professor, whom both outlets reported had provided information to both the FBI and CIA, met with George Papadopoulos, Carter Page and Sam Clovis, had also had interacted in the past with Michael Flynn. His reported contacts with the campaign began shortly before the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation on the basis of Papadopoulos’s comments to an Australian diplomat, when he interacted with Page following the campaign advisor’s visit to Moscow in July 2016. The source reportedly continued to talk to Page, Papadopoulos and Clovis through the late summer and fall of that year.
Neither the Post nor the Times named the source. But NBC pointed to a story in the Daily Caller that had named a professor who broadly fit the profile described by the Times and Post:
NBC News has not confirmed the use of informants in the Russian interference investigation, which began in July 2016. A right-wing web site, the Daily Caller, first reported that both Page and Papadopoulos met during the campaign with an American professor at Cambridge University in England.
“No evidence has surfaced publicly indicating that [the professor] was acting as a government informant,” NBC went on, “[b]ut the Daily Caller noted that right-wing media personalities have speculated about his role in recent days.”
The Daily Caller certainly seems to believe it has identified the source, and it all but alleged back in March that he was an FBI informant. The outlet itself noted the relationship between its subject and the informant reported by the Times and the Post on Friday—and the Daily Caller reporter who wrote the original story spent much of the evening protesting that the Times and Post had not credited his reporting.
We cannot report the source’s identity, having no sources of our own on the subject. If we did have such sources, we would not report the informant’s identity anyway. Lawfare does not publish leaks of classified programs. We don’t blow intelligence or law enforcement sources either, even when their identities are not classified. So we have no information to provide about any source the FBI may or may not have used here. We are working entirely off the public record. In addition, we are making a point in this post of not naming the individual whom the Daily Caller has publicly identified. As long as the Post and the Times continue to shield his identity, so will Lawfare.
If, however, we assume for a moment that the Daily Caller has the identity of the informant correct, then it’s hard to escape the conclusion that his outing has taken place at the joint hands of the House intelligence chairman and his staff, certain actors in the conservative press, and the president of the United States."
Total fucking bullshit.. And you suckers eat it up like candy.
