Wash Post: Michael Flynn's name was never 'masked' in the FBI document on his communications with Russian ambassador.

From the time this saga began back in early 2017 I’ve had a sneaking suspicion that the Washington Post and NYT got the information about the Flynn surveillance from a source outside the U.S. government.

“Another reason they had a lot of people ask for unmasking was that they knew they were going to leak and they wanted it make it as difficult as possible to determine who actually caused the leak.”

Do we know that the formal unmasking requests were for the one conversation with the Russian ambassador or for something else?

My crackpot theory is that there was a FISA warrant on Flynn long before the Dec ‘16 call to the Rooskie.

If you look back on the list of Flynn unmaskings that was released a couple weeks ago, you'll see that the first unmasking request was on November 30, 2016 -- a whole month before the Kislyak phone call the supposedly set the whole thing off!

Everyone has been so focused on the January 5, 2017 request by Biden; but the big question for me has been why did someone request Flynn's unmasking already in November 2016?

Thanks for the link. Now I’m a subscriber.

Well, there’s the proof that the Obama team didn’t unmask Flynn. I guess that clears them.

If you place a call on your mobile phone while you’re in a foreign country — especially a third world sh!t-hole like the Dominican Republic — there are probably dozens of shady characters who have access to your conversation before the CIA/FBI does.

So what. Flynn wasn’t doing anything illegal. He said nothing that would have mattered to the Chicoms or whoever. This would be nothing burger had the Obama admin not targeted him.

Like they did things “by the book.”

They DID things by the book, but Obama never said WHAT book. The book they were using was the "book" by Lavrentiy Beria, who is famously quoted as saying "Show me the man, and I'll show you the crime!"

The Beijington Post is trying to spin the Real Deal - that they had the transcript of the Flynn-Kislyak phone call because Zero made sure he announced the Russia sanctions while Flynn was in the Dominican Republic on vacation, and thus out of the country.

They knew only one phone call was going to be made by Kislyak to the Dominican Republic, and they were waiting with a catcher's mitt.

What “other things” unrelated to phone call were those exposed requesting?

My view is that Griffin is so ill-informed on the whole Obamagate scandal that she is unaware how this further implicates Obama and the CIA in criminal behavior.

Unmasking is criminal when it is used for political purposes, and much of the Obama administration engaged in this. The fact, though, that the Flynn- Kislyak call was never masked, means that it was most likely illegally recorded by Brennan’s CIA. The fact that Obama was told of the call within one day, outside of the normal DOJ processes, means that he was in on it, too.

It’s astonishing that the WaPo is so ill-informed that no one there is aware of this.
