Sen. Graham says he was a target of 'unmasking'
FoxNews Politics ^ | 02 June 2017 | AP

Sen. Lindsey Graham says U.S. intelligence agencies tell him that a conversation he had with a foreign individual was picked up in surveillance and that an unknown U.S. official or officials asked to know his identity as a party in the conversation.

Graham says he doesn't know if intelligence agencies actually revealed his name. But he's sent a letter to the FBI, CIA and the National Security Agency seeking information on any incidental collection of his communications with foreign targets.

Graham says he wants to know if Obama administration officials sought the unmasking of Americans in foreign intelligence reports for political reasons.

Pelosi says Rep. Devin Nunes should not be issuing subpoenas...

Linda is on THEIR side....why would they unmask him??

Although he drank the John McCain Koolaid often, Graham could still be a thorn in the side of Obama and his henchmen.

Graham fought Obama's cuts to the Dept of Defense on several occasions, including the cutting of certain weapons systems and also pay/benefits for our military and veterans.

That's just one example.

Graham is a retired Air Force Colonel in the Reserves.

I am told that all it took for Obama Hussein to call you an enemy was one single incident where you didn't kiss his skinny a$$.

He was unmasked?

Was it at one of those weird Rahm Emanuel/Barack Obama “Mystery Partner” parties?

Mcmaster hired an unqualified person that is associated with Lindsey Graham.

Cernovich claims a deal was made between Mcmaster and Graham. Hire the person..and he would soften his stance type of deal.

I think he means “outing”, not unmasking.

Likewise, did Gram COLLUDE with the Russians to get re-elected? Did he use the Russians to HACK that election?

Sounds like a Special Prosecutor is needed to find out.

(as the saying goes: ‘first they came for the Jews...’)

Graham could still be a thorn in the side of Obama

My read on this also. Graham seems to develop a type of devoted loyalty to certain Type A men. Trump could use another loyal supporter in the Senate for sure.

Exactly. The crime isn’t the collecting of data. Any US citizen caught up in the recording of the transmission is masked—their names are removed—and this is done due to Constitutional requirements.

The issue is the UNMASKING.

The only reason I can think of even asking for this information is POLITICS.

That reason is supposed to be strictly forbidden.

Now that that is out of the way, you can see this is not going to be good for Obama and his minions.

IF of course, the law is followed. There’s no reason to expect that from this feckless Congress...

I think Graham the Spam meant to say that he was the victim of ‘outing.’

Funny how these guys allow the people to be surveilled, but when it’s THEM they go crazy.

Sen Linda says: “I was the victim of unmasking, had my taxes audited, was blackmailed, was given a wedgie and beaten up by Obama’s goons but you know what? I hate Trump and am willing to overlook all if that so I can continue to be the MSM’s favorite go to guy on why Trump colluded with Russia or if the MSM needs some life support for the Russian meme.”

They didn’t know who it was when they (someone in the Obama admin.) requested the unmasking. They were trying to find out WHO had a certain intercepted conversation, and it turned out to be Graham.

This may be the only way to get Congress to take the issue seriously, when they realize that many in Congress were under surveillance by the Obozo regime.

I’ve said this before. All the GOP candidates were victims of Obama Administration/Hillary Campaign/DNC surveillance. Wait until Uncle Ted finds out that he was unmasked as well. All hell will break loose. The truth is that there are probably many, many others including many members of congress, conservative donors, etc., etc.
