Someone distributed the unmasked version to the Washington Post?

It's not like they've never taken down a president before...

Does that mean all the requests that were made about a week after the December 28 phone call were done to cover up the fact there was no masking? I understand the first unmasking request was made on January 4th. None were made on the day of the call.

It was the FBI, not the NSA, that wiretapped Kislyak’s calls and created the summary and transcript, the former officials said.

It was the FBI, not the NSA, that wiretapped Kislyak’s calls and created the summary and transcript, the former officials said.

“When the FBI circulated [the report], they included Flynn’s name from the beginning” because it was essential to understanding its significance, said a former senior U.S. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive intelligence. “There were therefore no requests for the unmasking of that information.”

So, basically, the Feds were directly spying on Flynn without either a Fisa warrant or a search warrant (meaning the Obama Admin most likely got the intercepts from a Five-Eyes or allied intel intercept, if not direct NSA/CIA taps). They were targeting him long before any unmaskings were requested.

This was not an “incidental collection” as Susan Rice claimed. This shows that Flynn was being spied on by the FBI. Where’s the warrant?

I don’t actually recall the FBI tapping anything. Remember, they got access to the NSA information and reported from that.

..... Interesting point ...... As it turns out though .... If there were no FISA Warrants issued for the "Off Record" surveillance ..... According to the FISA Rules and Regs ..... There is only one person that can order "Electronic Surveillance" without a warrant ..... As stated .... "... The President may authorize, through the Attorney General, electronic surveillance without a court order for the period of one year."

.... Yup .....

But wouldn’t his name still be masked in the handover of that info?

Also, Since this is appearing in the Washington Post,...these info can’t be good for our side

Two years ago I pointed out right here on FR that Flynn would not have been “masked” for the conversations he had with Kislyak while he (Flynn) was on vacation in the Dominican Republic. I hope all the Freepers who gave me a ton of crap over that are still here to see this.

If Flynn was never masked, then he was the SUBJECT of the investigation. Why was he the subject of an investigation?

Without a warrant both the collection and the leaking were illegal.

Is this a case of truth over fact?

The lefties on Twitter are having a good laugh that the “unmasking” part of the story is no longer a factor. What they haven’t yet considered is that this is a smoking gun of an illegal wiretap of the Trump campaign.
