    Likely NSA whistle blower blows lid on intercepts of Trump transition team that had nothing to do with foreigners or Russian investigation.
    (https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4662813/whistleblower)

    Summary:
    -During the open hearing on Monday, he encouraged anyone with relevant information regarding surveillance of President-elect Trump or his transition team to come forward and speak to the House Intelligence Committee.
    -Information was legally brought to him by official sources that "thought we should know it", presumably due to his request at the hearing. NSA, CIA, FBI leadership did not know that the information was going to be given to him (looks like a whistleblower).
    -He can confirm that on numerous occasions, the US intelligence community incidentally collected intelligence information about US citizens involved in the Trump transition. Details about US persons associated with the incoming administration, with little or no apparent foreign intelligence value, were widely disseminated in Intelligence Community reporting.
    -He can confirm that additional names of Trump transition team members were unmasked, similar to how General Flynn's name was unmasked.
    -None of the information he was able to see in the dozens of reports was related to Russia or the investigation of Russian activities regarding the Trump team.
    -Information was not part of a criminal investigation. It looks like "normal Foreign surveillance" under FISA where there was "incidental collection" that was then widely disseminated with unmasked names, but he still needs to get more information.
    -Doesn't know if the information was picked up at Trump Tower, but working to find out details by Friday. Rogers (NSA) appears to be wanting to comply. He's concerned because he doesn't know yet if the FBI will comply. He has called the FBI, no response yet, hoping to talk to Comey later today.
    -He has seen intelligence reports that clearly show that the President-elect and his team were monitored and the information disseminated to the IC in a "raw" format.
    -Unknown if surveillance was illegal, the main question is why the names were unmasked in reports and widely disseminated throughout the IC.
    -Most of the intercepts occurred in November, December, and January. During the transition period. This does not rule out any other periods of surveillance, this is just what he was able to see today.
    -It was "a lot of information about the President-elect, his transition team, and what they were doing".
    -He is surprised and "alarmed" by the discovery of this information, because it reminds him of when members of Congress were "incidentally" surveilled a year and a half ago. He doesn't understand how the intelligence regarding what President-elect Trump and his transition team were doing had any relation to foreign intelligence activities.

    So basically Zen ends up produces less cache misses, so just measuring pure cache latency is invalid benchmark.
