That satchel that Acting DNI Ric Grenell personally delivered to the Department of Justice on May 7, 2020 was far too big for a just a list of the 39 Obama administration officials, including his chief of staff and ambassador to Italy. Those higher ups have been exposed as requesting the unmasking of General Flynn. But there must have been a lot more inside, and that material, voluminous to require a briefcase-sized container, and that is the key to exposing the real extent of the spy operation that President Obama carried out on his political enemies, and the unmasking of General Michael Fynn is just the tip of the iceberg.
That is the basic message of this long and fascinating post by retired naval officer J.E. Dyer at Liberty Unyielding. I urge those who take a keen interest in the subject to read the whole thing, for it is full of technical points and complexities, but I will offer my own perspective on the thesis advanced by Ms. Dyer who tweets under the name OptimisticCon. The post was sent to me by a counterintelligence professional who noted that it reinforced the point I made yesterday:
SNIP
The key message is that for years, the Obama administration was mining the incomparable database of the National Security Agency (NSA), which captured virtually all electronic communications – emails, text messages, everything – launched into the ether. The potential for abuse is breathtaking. Everything that political enemies said to each other, except in private in-person conversations or in snail mail letters, could have been spied upon. And now it looks like staggering numbers of intercepts were spied upon. Dyer makes that case:

0bama was a follower of allah, the master of lies. It appears he was a true believer.
This reminds me of Mad Maxine’s quote that the Obama administration had put together an unprecedentedly powerful database.
Absolutely chilling how he leaks his conference call with the Obama Alumni Association and suddenly Judge Sullivan starts contorting himself into a pretzel to keep the Flynn case alive.
I need more popcorn.
Like I said before, Judge Sullivan can’t just Give Back the Bribe Money, he has to perform for his handlers.
I’d sure like to hear their story about the ambassador of Italy.
Lindsey & McConnell have that look of fear in their eyes.
Yep.
Grenell, as outsider, is going to do things that none of these swamp creatures would dare.
You mean his massahs?
14 May: NY Post: Who, O, who can the Flynn leaker be?
By Lee Smith
One obvious route by which Obama would have been briefed on unmaskings of US persons was through Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. The list of Obama officials who asked for Flynn’s name shows that McDonough made one request on Jan. 5, 2017...

The INITIAL Flynn/Kislyak leak was not to David Ignatius – it
was to WaPo reporter Adam Entous.
The leak came directly from “sources [who] saw a transcript and described it to [Entous].”
10 May 2020
We suspect the Flynn/Kislyak occurred around 1/5/17 - the same date Obama was allegedly briefed on the call by Clapper.
This date coincides with Entous reporting on other “intercepted communications” from Russian officials leaked to Entous...
Entous: “My sources start whispering to me that there were these mysterious communications” between Flynn and Kislyak.
This caused an internal WaPo discussion about whether to run the Flynn/Kislyak story.
To his credit, Entous didn’t find it newsworthy...

ignore the Howard Kurtz video:
10 May: Fox News: Washington Post had ‘divisions in the newsroom’ over Flynn’s Russia calls, before publishing opinion piece
By Gregg Re; Fox News’ Brooke Singman and Wilson Miller contributed to this report
A transcript unearthed Sunday indicates that The Washington Post’s newsroom was deeply divided over whether it was even worth reporting that incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was speaking to Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in December 2016 — before the Post published details in a column from an opinion writer who “was able to just throw this piece of red meat out there.”
On January 12, 2017, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius reported that Flynn had phoned Kislyak “several times on Dec. 29, the day the Obama administration announced the expulsion of 35 Russian officials as well as other measures in retaliation for the hacking.” Ignatius asked whether Flynn violated the “spirit” of the Logan Act — an obscure statute that has never been used successfully in a criminal prosecution...
But, Ignatius wasn’t the only one at the paper with information on the communications. Washington Post reporter Adam Entous stated at a 2018 Georgetown Law panel discussion that “sources start whispering to me that there were all these mysterious communications between Michael Flynn, who was then the National Security Advisor designate for Trump and the Russian ambassador, Kislyak.”...
According to Entous, this information caused “divisions within the newsroom.”
The transcript of Entous’ remarks at Georegetown was first spotted Sunday by Twitter user Techno_Fog, who has extensively reported on the Trump-Russia investigation...
The leak to Entous may have occurred around Jan. 5, 2017 — when, according to former FBI Director James Comey, then-President Obama apparently was briefed on the Flynn call by then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper...

Lindsey & McConnell have that look of fear in their eyes.
—
McConnell always looks like that. It comes from having 0% testosterone.
Graham’s terrified he might someday have to come through on one of the thousand things he’s promised to investigate.
I’ve been saying that for years, particularly after ADM Roger’s visit to Trump Tower in January of 2017, when he advised Trump AND Flynn of the Obama administration’s extensive misuse of STELLAR WIND data. I would bet more than I can possibly afford that the unmasking went way beyond Mike Flynn, who I’ve known for about 26 years. I’m thinking they submitted “about queries” to NSA’s Q Group on every member of the Trump family; who knows what else they did...
Sullivan has two issues - he is compromised AND he is a true believer. Roberts is just compromised.
If what they had on Roberts was made public, it would lose its power, and the house of cards would come down. Roberts should confess what has been done to him, let the cards fall where they may, and save the republic.
great stuff from Greenwald:
14 May: The Intercept: New Documents from the Sham Prosecution of Gen. Michael Flynn reveal broad corruption in the Russiagate Investigations
by Glenn Greenwald
https://theintercept.com/2020/05/14/new-documents-from-the-sham-prosecution-of-gen-michael-flynn-also-reveal-broad-corruption-in-the-russiagate-investigations/
so did they spy on flynn’s judge sullivan? is he compromised? supreme court judge roberts?
Reminds me of the scene in “The Godfather” where Vito tells the baker:
“Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me.”
Sullivan got the call.
