Graham Gets Heated During Questions About Unmasking Private Conversations [VIDEO]
dailycaller.com ^ | 6/27/17 | Henry Rodgers

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham became frustrated with intelligence community lawyers Tuesday, when they would not answer a question about his conversations being picked up while the U.S. was spying on foreign targets.

Graham asked the lawyers at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday whether he is legally entitled to know if his communications are collected and “unmasked” within the administration. The identities of U.S. citizens inadvertently caught up in foreign spying are typically “masked” from officials to protect their privacy rights.

“It’s important to us to get the facts right,” Graham said. “Did the name come in masked or unmasked? Was it masked or unmasked as a result of the request from the White House?”

He’s only concerned about whether he or his fellow Senators have been unmasked.

After all, he’s one of the primary advocates of the Patriot Act and all its embellishments over the years.

He is an enemy of the American people.

Maybe they cant due to investigatory reasons. Graham might be worried about something.

“Angry Lindsay” sounds like a doll that should be marketed to transgendered abused children.

I would love to see all the info from all of congress. You know it is bad. I had hoped wikileaks would have gotten a hold of RNC emails too.

Graham is a two-faced tosser.
Nevertheless, he is asking an important question.
Why aren’t more people in Congress demanding answers on this?

ABSOLUTELY.

Chaffetz actions are a mystery. I still think someone forced him.

Yep. It’s an important question and I’m glad someone is asking it, even if it’s Graham.

You are correct...that whole thing is weird. Now wants to give all member’s of congress $2500 a month because they cannot afford 2 mortgages. Then he gets a gig with FoxNews. I thought that was strange too.

Whatever happened to his foot operation? Did he have it?

That 2500 a month will cost us 16mil a year. Like Shummer and Pelosi cannot afford rent? Pfffftttttttt! It really p8sses me off.

They give themselves this and they give Veterans only a $2 a month raise.

No, the ones who are concerned about covering their arses are Chuck Schumer who yesterday tried to obstruct the hearing and the Obama admin that has been stalling and hiding Susan Rice documents by burying them in records to be moved into Obama’s library where only Obama’s people can release them.

They can do what evan bayh did...some cheap condo in a sketchy neighborhood as his State residence. I would be shocked if he ever stepped foot in the place after looking at pics

Schumer for some reason is blocking not just this classified hearing on unmasking but also an investigation into human trafficking.

He said the it would save taxpayers money because that way congress wouldn’t have to buy airplane tickets to go back home all the time. No way they will stop going home, that $2500 will go into their pockets.

Make them live in their offices. There is a thread about this here. I had to stop reading it I was so mad.
