Former Vice President Joe Biden and other top Obama officials received information in response to "unmasking" requests targeting retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn in the final weeks of the previous administration, according to a memo declassified by acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell.

The list, obtained by the Washington Examiner on Wednesday, shows Biden received information at least once in response to such an unmasking request on Jan. 12, 2017

This is too long and convoluted a story for a movie. This will require a two week long TV miniseries to explain it all when its all over. They can get this guy to play Bammy

Joe Biden played by

1 other theory I read was that Flynn had been under surveillance well in advance of the election, for whatever reason I have no clue.

Then everyone HE cam into contact with on Trumps Team would also be unmasked.

If that has merit then we all I would need to understand what originally placed Flynn under surveillance. My bet would be Obama did it after Flynn showe3d him up and conflicted with him as a General.

Sounds like something nice Obama would do, doesn’t it?

Unmasking means revealing.

Wonder if they all looked independently to protect each other assuming this list would ultimately come out?

I think the plot of "Murder on the Orient Express" resolves around EVERY suspect actually sticking the knife in the dead guy. No way to prove who actually killed him. Seems like the same concept.

Correct terminology is: U.S. person .. instead of “American citizens” ...

Maybe Joe is feigning Alzheimers to get immunity from the law. His boss won’t be touched, so he is working to cover his rear end?

Conveniently, it’s easy enough to fake dementia if the stakes are high enough.

the excerpt is not clear.

Did Biden make a request for unmaking? Or, did he just receive the info from the person who made the request?

Let’s just see if any reporter asks Uncle Mumbles about getting caught in a lie.

I'm sure CBS's Weiju Jiang is calling her right now to demand that answer.

I just typed up a nice response to that effect and lost it when my VPN crashed. Glad you made the point.

There was a thread yesterday saying Obama was surveilling Flynn for years and then surveilling people who contacted Flynn. I believe this is not OK. Then Kislyak came along and contacted Flynn. So they surveilled the Russian guy (makes sense). When things got hot, they need to defend some of this surveilling, and the excuse became, "Well, this Russian guy contacted Flynn and we thought that was odd". But the truth is the opposite. The Russian guy was in the middle, not at the beginning. And I'm not sure Flynn ws "unmasked" because he was the focus of the investigation for years. The people he spoke to got unmasked.

It should be exceedingly rare. In the Obama administration, we’re about ready to find out just how common it was.

Maybe it should be but it's not.

There are thousands of requests each year and the Trump administration is holding its own.

Intelligence officials asked the National Security Agency to unmask the identities of Americans in surveillance-based intelligence reports 16,721 times last year — a significant rise from a year earlier, a new report revealed on Tuesday.

As soon as the Dems named realized that Trump won, they all went to the NSA...

I'd bet my left nut that "they all went to the NSA" on numerous occasions during O-bitch-boy's term.

In fact, THAT is what they may trying to hide.
