Former U.N. Amb. Power Unmasked ‘Hundreds’ In Final Year Of Obama Admin
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | August 2, 2017 | Adam Kredo

Former United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power is believed to have made "hundreds" of unmasking requests to identify individuals named in classified intelligence community reports related to Trump and his presidential transition team, according to multiple sources who said the behavior is unprecedented for an official in her position.

Power was first identified by the Washington Free Beacon last month as a central figure in a congressional investigation into efforts by senior Obama administration officials to obtain classified intelligence information in what many allege was an effort to undermine President Donald Trump and his incoming national security team.

By having the UN ambassador request the unmasking. it makes it look legit, so there won’t be any raised eyebrows.

The MSM looks the other way, wink, wink..................

Not really. A UN ambassador has no business in this type of intel on US citizens.

Being UN Ambassador has NOTHING to do with intel gathering on a domestic political party, which is what she was doing. Lock her up!

Somebody has to be “first” .... looks to me like Powers would be a good candidate since she really had no intel reason for unmasking .... a more cut & dried case than some of the others.

TALKING POINTS---demand Samantha Power answer these questions, at once.

==============================================

1. When did you request the unmaskings, and from which federal agencies?

2. Who in that agency actually did the unmasking? Please provide the written requests you submitted.

3. Once the names were unmasked, did you still believe there was a " threat to national security" from the named US persons?

4. If so, with whom did you share the information, and what actions were taken to protect America and American citizens?

5. If you did not, then you should not have shared the names with anyone else, so how did the names become known?

6. Why was any of the info detailed here deliberately withheld on the FISA application? (it's a felony to willfully withhold information when applying for a FISA).

=====================================

(HAT TIP OMEGATOO)

<><> If the information found in the ‘incidental’ involvement of any US Person was threatening US Security, and America citizens' safety, why did US security agencies wait for requests to unmask?

<><> Did Obama issue a secret stand-down order?

<><> Why was this threat not unveiled at the time or since? Why now?

Alarmingly, the supposed ‘threat’ was about to be inaugurated as President of the US. Shouldn’t Congress have been notified?

Did Power planned to collude w/ the Clintons to pass the intel to a foreign country....for a price?

========================================

The NSA didn’t unmask the information initially, plus later investigations found NO collusion between Russia and Trump. Seems to be proof-positive that whatever suspicions may have had to justify the unmasking were absolutely wrong, or more likely non-existent.

Early on she was a Special assistant to the president and was the member of the National Security Council.

Once RATs get security, it seems they never lose it.
