If the information found in the ‘incidental’ involvement of any US Person was threatening to US Security, why did the ‘obsessive’ security agencies wait for Rice’s request to unmask and why did she initially deny responsibility for the unmasking? Why was this threat not unveiled at the time or since? After all, the ‘threat’ was about to be inaugurated as President of the U.S. Shouldn’t congress have been notified?
That the NSA didn’t unmask the information initially, plus investigations finding NO collusion between Russia and Trump have proven that whatever suspicions Rice may have had to justify the unmasking were absolutely wrong, or more likely non-existent.
Questions for Rice:
1. When did you request the unmasking, and from which agency? Who in that agency actually did the unmasking? Please provide the written requests you submitted.
2. Once the names were unmasked, did you still believe there was a threat to national security from the named US persons?
3. If so, with whom did you share the information, and what actions were taken to protect America?
4. If not, then you should not have shared the names with anyone else, so how did the names become known?

Because that is ‘proper protocol’, and covers everyone legally- The investigators must keep names out UNTIL they suspect someone of something, and then they can request that the ‘proper authority’ unmask the names- this covers them, and it covers the one who issues the unmasking- it’s a legal game they play so that everyone ‘legally meets the minimum requirements in order to avoid being accused of wrongdoing’- Many on The left are very sneaky scumbags- who abuse every loophole they can-
They can faslely claim ‘We felt” (that there was reason for investigating further)- and it is that ‘we felt’ that is the sticking point in all this- as it is very subjective- and ‘open to interpretation’ whereas other laws are objective and not really open to interpretation
Great stuff-—deserves a repeat. (It’s also a crime to willfully withhold information when applying for a FISA.)
