Anybody know what the "NOFORN" means, after the TOP SECRET classification? It piqued my curiosity, after I was finally able to make it out, and later read a bozo on DU who claimed it meant "no foreign revelation", or some such, to indicate it was not to be exposed to or shared with any foreign governments, friendly or otherwise.
He said he had dealt in these security matters, having been a Russian translation guy in the military while in Turkey in the late sixties (obviously, an NSA listening post assignment).
He was trying to make the point, as are a lot of like minded bozos, that Trump declassifying this was a big mistake and detrimental to our national security and intel gathering capabilities. Went on to say the Brits are really going to be ticked off about this. (
)
To further pile sh!t on the molehill, he even referred to it as a "codeword" classification, like TOP SECRET/CODEWORD, at one point. But, at the time he was privy to all this James Bond cloak-and-dagger horse hockey, unless they've changed something in the intervening years, all codewords are of 5 letters only. And they are changed periodically.
If he hadn't been so set upon blowing a lot of smoke, his explanation for NOFORN makes a lot of sense, though. This was House generated, in their going about conducting the people's business--OUR people, not any other government's people. As such, no need for it to go any further, unless, as so deemed by our President, the classification is removed.
My guess, anyway. Any others?

And I still don't see anything in the way of procedure, or whatever, that's being compromised, what all the left's caterwauling about, among other things (cherry picked info, outright fabrications, et al.) Nothing in the damn thing concerning methods and procedure that wasn't known already.
"The louder he proclaimed his innocence, the faster we counted our silverware." The FNMSM and the left are really grasping at straws now. It's like they've made a wall of themselves between Obama and the truth of just how corrupt that POS really was, and it's getting pushed back more and more every day. The SHTF day is coming and when it does, they'll get sprayed head to foot.
And I've been saying for about a year now that the Brits are in on this up to their eyeballs. Steele, who probably couldn't care less about American politics, of his own and on his own (he's retired from MI6...remember?) , is the perfect front for British intel to get their fingers in the pie.
Nunes needs to keep digging. With persistence, he'll knock the gild off that turd, Obama, and the super-sanctimonious Brits, too--two turds with one stone.
