it is glorious! bring the pain.
That’s way too many people to have that level of access. Why so many at treasury needing unmasking on December 14?
31, January 2017?? They were making requests AFTER the inauguration?
A quick check on an acronym finder - gives two relevant meanings for COS (Chief of Staff & Chief of Station ). Only relevant meaning given for DCOS is Deputy Chief of Staff.
Why would a chief of staff be redacted?
The unmaksing list:
I’m guessing the redacted names are still involved in ongoing investigations??????

thanks.
just spit ballin
I wonder where they made these unmasks from?
can they do it on any terminal\PC?
or does it have to be secured ? or in a secured area?
Here’s Adm. Rogers’ take on 2 criteria to unmask:
“First, is there a “valid need to know” on the part of the agency or individual requesting the unmasking? If the NSA were to determine that the FBI, when looking into a related matter, would be hindered by not having the identity of this “U.S. Person” unmasked, the NSA will unmask them and give the FBI their identity.
Second, Rogers said, “Is the identification necessary to truly understand the intelligence value the report is designed to generate?” This second criterion is somewhat more subjective than the first. But it should be understood to apply to instances wherein the identity of the “U.S. Person” is integral to understanding the crime or offense that was committed.
Only in these situations can unmasking take place, and there are a limited number of individuals — 20 in the NSA, Rogers said — who can authorize it.”
