The cofounder of the largest Tea Party group is trying to ratchet up pressure on the House and Senate intelligence committees to investigate illegal Trump administration leaks and the Obama administration's unmasking of U.S. officials and other citizens during the presidential campaign and transition.

Jenny Beth Martin, the cofounder of the Tea Party Patriots,sent a letter on Wednesday to the leaders of the House and Senate intelligence committees pressing them to investigate the illegal release of classified information to the media and the unmasking of American citizens as part of their wide-ranging probe into alleged Russian interference and meddling in the last presidential election.

"I write as president of an organization with over 2 million, an organization that has directly felt the heavy hand of persecution by the very government we support with our taxes," she wrote in the letter. "Our concern is that your investigation's emphasis and focus on our government, again illegally interfering in the lives of law-abiding citizens, will go unaddressed with no accountability."

If the GOP-led committees in Congress ignore such allegations of abuse, it would be "absolutely unacceptable in the world's leading democracy, to which people around the globe look hopefully for leadership on issues of government accountability," she said.

The Tea Party Patriots were among hundreds of conservative organizations the IRS targeted for intrusive scrutiny during the Obama administration. The IRS forced the group to wait more than three years to receive its tax-exempt status.

Martin sent the letter to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R., N.C.) and the ranking Democrat, Mark Warner (D., Va.), as well as House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes(R., Calif.) and that committee's ranking member, Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.).

"There are clearly rogue government officials, with high-level clearances, engaging in criminal activity involving classified information. Where are the voices and concerns about this from you and your colleagues? The silence is deafening and eerily reminiscent to us," she said.

The line was a reference to multiple Congressional investigations during President Barack Obama's time in office into IRS targeting of conservative groups.

So far only Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) has pursued the unmasking issue in a public hearing, Martin said. She recalled Grahams questioning of former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates two weeks ago. He asked both: "How did the conversation between the Russian ambassador and Mr. Flynn make it to the Washington Post?"

"I don't know the answer to that," Clapper answered.

"Nor do I know the answer to that," Yates followed.

Later during the hearing, Graham said "it seems pretty obvious to me that political people could, in the right position, unmask people who have political differences, who end up talking to foreign agents and use it for political purposes. That, to me is very serious."

There are only a few high-level officials in the Obama administration who had the authority to unmask these private citizens, and lawmakers have an obligation to expose who is leaking classified information to the media so that they can be brought to justice, she said.

"Every day that passes without public, government accountability for these actions only further darkens the lens of cynicism and contempt through which the American people view Washington," she wrote, urging the key group of lawmakers to set full committee hearings dates to examine the unmasking and media leaks that continue to take place.

EarlierWednesday,news broke that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court rebuked the Obama administration in late October. Circareported that the court found that the officials had "violated the safeguards Obama and his intelligence chiefs vowed to follow in 2011."

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.)on Wednesdaysaid government surveillance programs wont receive the necessary congressional reauthorization for them to continueunless officials answer questions about who in the intelligence community unmasked certain individuals.

Tea Party Group Calls for Investigation Into Leaks, Unmasking - Washington Free Beacon

California Democrats are experiencing a case of be careful what you wish for.

Young activists who backed Bernie Sanders for President are surging into the party's political process and now, they're upending the usual order. Establishment Democrats worry its their Tea Party, while Republicans see new hope.

During the California Democratic Party convention last weekend, Sanders drew chants without actually being there.

Self-proclaimed Berniecrats have quickly become a new, rowdy left wing of the party. And their disruptive protests and recent gains in party elections have gotten the attention of Democratic leaders.

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom openly courted them in his bid for governor.

"Let me just acknowledge, you guys have had a pretty damn good day," Newsom said.

Meanwhile, outgoing party chairman John Burton grew frustrated when their chants for single-payer health care drowned out speakers.

"Sit the [expletive] down, please," Burton said. "Pretty please with sugar on it. Thank you."

Democratic party leaders and long-time operatives worry that this influx of new activists doesn't recognize their progressive credentials, such as passing a $15 minimum wage, aggressive climate change mandates and tight gun laws, while winning every statewide office.

Burton, a famously liberal lawmaker himself, argues they lack perspective.

"The world started when they woke up in the morning," he said.

Senate leader Kevin de Len praises their involvement, with a caution.

"Hearing different voices across the spectrum is a good thing," De Leon said. "We do also have to be also careful too that individuals dont set a litmus test of whos holier or purer than the other. Thats not who we are."

But many Berniecrats, such as newly-elected party delegate Patrick Weiss said a hard line is necessary.

"Theres no difference between a corporate Republican and a corporate Democrat, except on social issues," Weiss said.

And the movement is led by the hardline California Nurses Association.

"What kills me is that the California legislators actually think theyre progressive," said RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of the association.

She promised that the idea of "consensus for consensus' sake" is over.

"Were going to win and move this movement, Berniecrats, nurses, and all of the progressive Democrats, were going to move this movement across the nation," DeMoro said.

Democratic political strategist and party consultant Steve Maviglio has some concerns about the new wing of the party.

"Im trying to think of a very polite way to say this," Maviglio said. "The thing that concerns me is that when they dont get their way, so to speak, they act like petulant children and walk out of the room or kick sand in the sandbox. I think thats very dangerous for the party."

Maviglio and Republican strategist Mike Madrid both suggest a parallel to how the Tea Party has pushed the GOP to the right.

"It has been so consumed by its extremist elements it can no longer compete in the middle, and it left that for the Democrats," said Madrid.

He said California Republicans now could regain ground.

"It is no question an opportunity for the party out of power when the party in power starts to be consumed by its extreme wings, and make no mistake this is an extremist movement," said Madrid. "To suggest that somehow the California Legislature is moderate is almost a frightening notion."

Delegate Hawa Russell said her Berniecrats also see an opportunity, especially after their candidate for party chair lost only narrowly at the convention.

"Weve had a huge voice up here, and such a close win like that actually pushes us to move forward," said Russell. "Because we know we do have a voice."

Berniecrats, establishment Democrats, and Republicans will be watching how far left that voice will shift the party.
