GOP Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa released documents on Wednesday listing the declassified names of Obama-era officials who sought to “unmask” former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
The List includes President Obama’s Chief of Staff, Denis McDonough, former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, and the last person named is former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee. The list includes 37 individuals, but it’s clear that Obama knew even though he was not directly named.
Here’s the complete list in the order listed:

The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold hearings on Spygate and issues related to unmasking requests made by Obama officials against General Mike Flynn.
“The Judiciary Committee will begin holding multiple, in-depth congressional hearings regarding all things related to Crossfire Hurricane starting in early June,” Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the Judiciary committee, said in a statement Thursday.
The Judiciary Committee will begin holding the hearings in early June.
“Our first phase will deal with the government’s decision to dismiss the Flynn case as well as an in-depth analysis of the unmasking requests made by Obama Administration officials against General Flynn. We must determine if these requests were legitimate,” Graham said.
During an interview with Fox Business on Thursday morning, President Donald Trump spoke out about the long list of Obama administration officials, including former Vice President Joe Biden, who unmasked his former national security advisor Michael Flynn.
The President slammed the former administration saying that this was the “greatest political crime” in American history and said that the Obama officials involved with the unmasking should be punished.
“It was the greatest political crime in the history of our country,” President Trump told Fox host Maria Bartiromo. “If I were a Democrat instead of a Republican, I think everybody would have been in jail a long time ago, and I’m talking with 50-year sentences. It is a disgrace what’s happened. This is the greatest political scam, hoax in the history of our country.”
President Trump went on to shred Obama officials for targeting Flynn.
“People should be going to jail for this stuff and hopefully, a lot of people are going to have to pay,” President Trump said. “No other president should have to go through, and I’ll tell you, Gen. Flynn and others are heroes, heroes, because what’s happened to them. They weren’t after Gen. Flynn. They wanted him to lie about me. Make up a story.”

Hearings, lots and lots of hearings!
That should become the list of who is ,intially, water-boarded
Why are these hearings only going to focus on unmasking General Flynn? Were they not unmasking others? Does Graham know who else they unmasked? Will he try and find out?
So why aren’t we demanding the redacted ones be “unmasked”? I mean if you got nothing to worry about, why not?
We don’t need “hearings”...aka kabuki theater. What we need is indictments, arrests, quick/fair trials and maximum penalities for these criminal, seditious traitors. Less than that leaves the judicial system unjust.
Here is the .pdf of the list of request to unmask General Flynn. Furnished by Senator Grassley
(SHNF-) 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. Each individual was an authorized recipient
Yes, but the Senate Intelligence Committee? What RINO totalitarian will chair the committee with Sen. Burr stepping down while he is investigated? What if it’s someone the FBI doesn’t have pictures of with nude children? horrors!
They will use hearings to drag this chit out until the election
The phone call with the ambassador was AFTER the election but the first unmasking was Nov 8th...election day.
They unmasked over 9,000 people that year and have been unmasking more than that in recent years.
On average 27 per day.
Bkmrk
If they were republicans, they would already be in jail. Similar to Roger Stone.
God save our Republic because our elected legislative officials sure do not care.

We here at FreeRepublic are my nature a impatient bunch.
We want action and we want it now.
But do we?
I have always said IMPEACHMENT is a political act not a legal one. President Trump’s move against the coup conspirators is (besides a legal one) a political one.
In order for an impeachment to be successful the American people have to support it. General Flynn was the MacGuffin in the insurance policy the FBI needed to bring down the President.

Going after the co-conspirators is also a political act and care must be taken and the American People have to support it or it will fail.
The Democrats (DOJ, FBI, White House and the Media) all conspired to remove President Trump.
But for the American people to understand this they need to understand how it all began.
Public hears are just one prong of the counter attack.
Obamagate will in time gain traction as more information is released.
I believe President Trump already knows everything he just needs to spoon feed it to the public before he acts.
Arresting a former President is a major step one does not do with out solid footing
37? Why would Flynn want to ever return to a job at the White House ever?? Get this case dismissed. Sue the Bast##ds. Write a book. Retire far away from DC and enjoy life with your family.
I’m confused by all of this. Why did so many officials have to request the unmasking? Does this mean that the intelligence people would not unmask until the very last request, which was apparently by Biden. Someone help me out here.
It’s NOT a full list as [Redacted] is in there all over the place.
I wonder if they colluded and agreed to all request the unmasking so that it would be impossible to trace which one of them leaked to the Washington Post?
“They unmasked over 9,000 people that year and have been unmasking more than that in recent years. On average 27 per day.”
What is the source of these numbers? Just curious as I don’t remember seeing these numbers reported anywhere.
I would give you an up-twinkle, if we had that option here at FR
