Washington Free Beacon Senior Writer Adam Kredo appeared on Fox News's "Hannity" Friday night, where he told host Sean Hannity that it is "unprecedented" how many people were unmasked by then-United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power during the final year of the Obama administration.
Power is believed to have made "hundreds" of unmasking requests to "identify individuals named in classified intelligence community reports related to Trump and his presidential transition team, according to multiple sources who said the behavior is unprecedented for an official in her position," according to the Washington Free Beacon.
"It's truly unprecedented," Kredo said. "It's certainly odd, and I think the House Intelligence Committee, rightfully so, has subpoenaed her to find out what is going on here. Look, it's hundreds of unmasking requests in just the final year of the Obama administration."
He talked about how it was strange that a United Nations ambassador would be making unmasking requests of President Donald Trump's associates during the 2016 presidential election. Those same unmasked people would in some cases later become Trump administration officials.
"The fact that this information subsequently leaked to the press, I think raises even more questions about why a U.N ambassador over in Turtle Bay needs to unmask," Kredo said.

Good post. I believe Team Trump needs to make this a priority. Don’t let them erase these records. They could be a big part of his(or other) defense when Mueller makes up a crime.
A definite deep swamp dweller.
My theory is that she wasn’t unmasking them for her own benefit. Someone asked her to do so because she had the authority to request unmasking. And I suspect that someone was Barack Obama.
Her husband is Cass Sunstein and he’s a deep state creature. She could of been unmasking for people outside govt.
Sessions will get to the bottom of this. /s
Remask her, remask her!!!
Ummm... so why hasn’t she been arrested? Sessions talks about leakers, but he sits on his hands. Pathetic justice system. We may as well move to Venezuela, at least they are honest about being crooks.
[Samantha Power] - read the info I pulled from Wiki below - gee what a surprise
Ah, Cass Sunstein’s wife who wants to use United Nations troops to enforce a division of the land of Israel. What could possibly go wrong? Gee, we still have Israel-haters in key positions.
Married in the Year of Obama, she was eventually sent to the United Nations, as I recall.
[On June 5, 2013, U.S. president Barack Obama announced her nomination as the new United States Ambassador to the United Nations.]
[Power’s nomination was backed by Republican senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham]

On July 4, 2008, Power married law professor Cass Sunstein, whom she met while working on the Obama campaign.[79] They were married in the Church of Mary Immaculate, Lohar, Waterville, County Kerry, Ireland.[80] On April 24, 2009, she gave birth to their first child, Declan Power Sunstein.[81] On June 1, 2012, she gave birth to their second child, a daughter, Rían Power Sunstein.
Chemi Shalev wrote that individuals have described Power of being pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli, on the basis of statements she made in a 2002 interview with Harry Kreisler.[60] When asked what advice she would give to the president if either the Israelis or Palestinians looked “like they might be moving toward genocide,” Power said that the United States might consider the deployment of a “mammoth protection force” to monitor developments between the Israelis and Palestinians, characterizing it as a regrettable but necessary “imposition of a solution on unwilling parties,” and “the lesser of evils.”[citation needed] She clarified that remark on several occasions, including in an interview with Haaretz correspondent Shmuel Rosner in August 2008.[61]
In July 2014, Power expressed support for Israel’s right to defend itself during the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict.[62]
In December 2016, she justified the Obama administration’s refusal to veto a resolution against Israeli settlements. Power told the 15-member U.N. Security Council: “Israeli settlement activity in territories occupied in 1967 undermines Israel’s security, harms the viability of a negotiated two-state outcome, and erodes prospects for peace and stability in the region.
Power joined the Obama State Department transition team in late November 2008. She served as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights on the National Security Council from January 2009 to February 2013.[3] In April 2012, Obama chose her to chair a newly formed Atrocities Prevention Board. During her tenure, Power’s office focused on such issues as United Nations reform, women’s rights and LGBT rights, religious freedom and religious minorities, refugees, human trafficking, human rights, and democracy, including in the Middle East and North Africa, Sudan, and Myanmar. She is considered to have been a key figure in the Obama administration in persuading the president to intervene militarily in Libya.[4] In 2016, she was listed as the 41st most powerful woman in the world by Forbes
And yet another can of worms is opened. Hard to keep things polite now....
Robert Mueller’s talents are being gravely misused. There are ample grounds for the Trump Administration to demonstrate “We were framed.”
From the time she came on the scene I have said she is an extreme left wing liberal nut job. She has never done anything but prove me correct.
Read her bio. What else could she be but whacked out?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_Power
“the daughter of Vera Delaney, a field-hockey international and kidney doctor”
Can anyone tell me what a “field-hockey international and kidney doctor” is? Anyone?
I keep hoping that Mueller does the right thing and investigates how it was that this investigation began in the first place. But I’m not holding my breath.
Samantha Power was born in Dublin and raised in Ireland until she was nine, when her mother emigrated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
She subsequently graduated from Yale University and from Harvard Law School. In 1993, at age 23, she became a U.S. citizen.
From 1998 to 2002, she served as the Founding Executive Director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, where she later became the first Anna Lindh Professor of Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy.
She was a senior adviser to Senator Barack Obama until March 2008, when she resigned from his presidential campaign after apologizing for referring to then-Senator Hillary Clinton as "a monster."
Power joined the Obama State Department transition team in late November 2008. She served as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights on the National Security Council from January 2009 to February 2013.
She won a Pulitzer Prize in 2003 for her book A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide, a study of the U.S. foreign policy response to genocide.
Barnard College awarded Power its highest award, the 2015 Barnard Medal of Distinction.
The 2016 Henry A. Kissinger Prize was awarded on June 8, 2016 to Ambassador Samantha Power serving as the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations.
Samantha Power is considered to have been a key figure in the Obama administration in persuading the president to intervene militarily in Libya.
Power served as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations from 2013 to 2017.
Come on man.
Watching the exposed lawlessness being ignored by the DOJ and congressional republicans becomes more bizarre everyday.
And the wife of Cass Sunstein (radical).
Yep....and nothing will happen or come from this.
Your lives are great balls of secrets, and it is OUR job to GRAB ahold of them. We will and we MUST...
This is why Mueller is going after Trump, they really need to cover for the abuse that Obama perpetrated upon the Constitution. Mueller has to come up with some kind of crime to warrant Power’s egregious abuse of the the civil rights of Trump’s people. If Trump is innocent then this hideous power grab by Power-Obama will require a DOJ investigation, Grand Jury, conviction and prison sentence.
