The Obamagate scandal just got a lot worse.
The list of names who were requested unmaskings that involved the Michael Flynn case has been released. Acting DNI Richard Grenell has suggested the list would be declassified and made public. He’s now delivered in stunning fashion.
Catherine Herridge ✔ @CBS_Herridge SCOOP @CBSNews obtains @RichardGrenell notification to congress declassified “unmasking list” Flynn between late 2016 and January 2017 - Read 3 pages provided by NSA here
If you go to the last page, you’ll see Joseph P. Biden listed. That means that someone made a request in his name for the unmasking information regarding Michael Flynn. Whether it was him or his secretary, there’s no doubt he knew what was going on.
That’s Biden, just a few days ago, claiming to have no knowledge of what was happening with Flynn. Amazingly, George Stephanopoulos corrected him and got him to admit that he at least knew the case was ongoing. Now, we know that both those characterizations were a lie. Biden was intimately involved here, to the point of being involved in the unmasking itself.
Sen. Rand Paul broke the news via an announcement earlier. Here’s what he had to say.
The Hill ✔ @thehill Sen. Rand Paul: "Biden accessed the identity and the private conversation of a political opponent. There is no more clear violation of a politician using their office and abusing their office to go after a political opponent -- and I think he's caught red-handed here."
Biden’s only real excuse here is to claim he didn’t receive the information despite his request. That out is described per The Daily Caller’s coverage of this ongoing story.
Daily Caller ✔ @DailyCaller · 2h BREAKING: Documents show that Joe Biden, James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper all submitted “unmasking” requests for information about Michael Flynn contained in highly classified intelligence reports.https://dailycaller.com/2020/05/13/joe-biden-james-comey-john-brennan-unmasked-michael-flynn/ …
Daily Caller ✔ @DailyCaller The request under Biden's name was made on Jan. 12, 2017, which is the same day that the details of the Flynn-Kislyak call info were leaked and published by the Washington Post.https://dailycaller.com/2020/05/13/joe-biden-james-comey-john-brennan-unmasked-michael-flynn/ …
“Below is a list of recipients who may have received Lt. Gen Flynn’s identity in response to a request processed between 8 November 2016 and 31 January 2017 to unmask an identity that had been generically referred to in an NSA foreign intelligence report,” the document stated.
“While the principals are identified below, we cannot confirm they saw the unmasked information.”
That’s not going to fly at all. One, the very fact that the request was made shows he was well aware of what was going on with the Flynn case and Obama’s plan to target him. For him to try to play dumb would be beyond parody. He originally claimed to not be involved in any of this. He clearly was and he’s been lying to everyone about it until this document exposed him.
Other names that requested the unmasking information include John Brennan, who should be sweating pretty hard right now, and Samantha Power, who was cited early on for the hundreds of unmasking requests she made. I believe at one point, though her story may have changed, that she claimed to not know how her name got on the requests.
For their part, the media are already spinning this as Trump somehow acting politically, completely ignoring that this proves Biden was acting politically in 2016.
Blake News ✔ @blakehounshell The list of names who asked to "unmask" Flynn includes former Vice President Joe Biden, raising the immediate question of whether declassification is being used as a political weapon in the 2020 campaign https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/13/republican-senators-michael-flynn-254726 …
You can expect that to be the line going forward. Republicans will be blamed for “interfering in the 2020 election” because the documents they released implicate Biden. Apparently, investigation political opponents with no basis is acceptable if you are a Democrat, but if you aren’t, then releasing documented evidence of malfeasance is very bad.
I don’t care though. This stuff is explosive and shows Biden is not just corrupt, but that he’s willing to lie with a straight face about his corruption. None of this is going away, no matter what spin the media attempt to attach to it. You can also bet that Grennell is not done. He’s got more coming and it’s going to continue to expose this massive scandal.
One can only dream to see Odumbo in the gray bar hotel penning his autobiographical epilogue entitled “The Audacity of Rope”.
Because Joe Biden has NO KNOWLEDGE
Both parts of the headline are still logically correct
Someone must have some large cojones to request in the name of VPOTUS. Now back to reality. Bye-Done Joe...
Annnnnnd here’s the pitch:
It’s a softball!
Swung on and missed, strike three!
Poor old dotard Dementia Joe, the senator from the great state of confusion, had no idea he unmasked anybody. When asked about it Bleeding Brain Biden replied, “Unmasking? Is it Halloween? Where’s my sister Jill?”
The funny thing is that Joe Biden was being truthful. His dementia is so bad that he truly has no knowledge. Doesn’t even know what day it is.
Look at how much baggage PIAPS had and they kept her.
BKMK. VERY interesting!
Yes, it is...
How did Catherine Herridge end up at CBS? Maybe she can bring just a little bit of sanity to that network. OK, OK, but I can hope can’t I?
Now all that’s needed is a Republican who’s not being blackmailed, paid off, in partnership with democrats, a never Trumper, or afraid of Hillary. And has a spine. Maybe that’s why the democrats aren’t worried.
How can you tell if a guy with severe dementia is lying or forgetful?
Wow, waiting for the “I learned about it on the news” moment.................or would this be the 10th time that the Obama Administration, to include BidenIdiot mind you, was blindsided by unforeseen news? /s
We can't see into his heart...
But Stephanopoulos did the world a favor acting like a real journalist for almost a full minute. Shows the power of the press if they were going after corruption rather than going after Republicans only...
LOL, not only did Joe Biden request the name, he was so out of the loop he had to learn the could get it not from Barack Obama or anyone in his administration, but from the Washington Post.
Like most liberal creepozoids, Biden claims ‘no knowledge.’ Only in his case it is not just closer to the truth, it probably is the truth. I do not feel sorry for any liberal creepozoid, dementia or no dementia. Whoever is propping him up is just as bad, if not worse. Hugh Hewitt wrote a book ‘If It’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat.’ Garcia in Kalifornia just proved it. They cannot ‘Ballot Harvest’ enough votes to beat Garcia. Thank the Lord!
Where do go to I donate to Richard Grenell’s re-election campaign?
Well he is actually all three...and he is the best the demonrats can do...
