Then-National Security Adviser Susan Rice did at times ask that certain names in intelligence reports be unmasked in order to understand the context in which they were mentioned in intelligence reports, a former national security official told CBS News.
Rice asked for the identities of those Americans picked up during surveillance of foreign nationals when it was deemed important context for national security, and she did not ask that the information be disseminated broadly, according to this former official.
A Monday report by Bloombergs Eli Lake said that Rice requested the unmasking of Trump officials. Names of Americans swept up incidentally in the collection of intelligence are normally masked, or kept redacted, in intelligence briefings.

CBS is now reporting this?
Last weeek: No no no no no! Nobody asked to unmask the names. NOOOOOO!
Today: Well of course she did. She had to do it for ummmm . . . national security!
Interesting. I Googled her today and the results showed MSM had nothing about this. It was only our sources showing this story. I went through 10 pages of results and there were some Times, CBS et all but it was all puff pieces.
“at times...?” C’mon CBS, you can do it. Tell the freakin’ truth!
Attempting to cover for her as the s hits the fan.
But But But, Rice denied “Unmasking” anyone, you are See BS, and you just L I E.
Oh context. Then it is completely understandable why she would need to unmask every single conversation by Team Trump. How else could she root around for dirt on the opposition campaign.
Mostly spinning it.
I am wondering if SeeBS is realizing that they can’t cover for 0bama and his corrupt administration anymore.
Went from never happened, to “here’s why” in nothing flat.
Where do you guys see reporting?
I see defending.
Oh, THOSE Trump officials! Slipped my mind.
Give them some time. They have to make sure their stories are consistent.
Now the Clinton Broadcasting System is out with this.
Rice may have the value of a left over half eaten chicken salad sandwich from last week.
She may get to recognize the undercarriage of the famous Obama Bus where former Obamaites get thrown under the bus to protect the one.
CBS saw all of this real news being reported today and realized no one had applied the fake filter. CBS fakified news safe for LIV viewing.
Dog ate my memory. Russians made me do it. Didn’t tell Barack.
