Former Vice President Joe Biden and other top Obama officials received information in response to "unmasking" requests targeting retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn in the final weeks of the previous administration, according to a memo declassified by acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell.
The list, obtained by the Washington Examiner on Wednesday, shows Biden received information at least once in response to such an unmasking request on Jan. 12, 2017

Your supposition is correct. UN Res 2334 condemns Israel for settlements in Palestinian territory.
...........
Flynn was trying to get Russia to veto it, but Russia eventually refused and it passed on 12/23/16. Our UN rep, Powers, acting on Obama’s request, requested the unmasking of those intel contacts, 7 times, and later lied about it to Congress.
............
One might ask, why all the requests for unmasking? Flynn’s name was all over the Obama Admin., but all they had for docs was redacted versions of the intel reports and transcripts.
.............
Reporters were tipped off but were only offered redacted docs and they wouldn’t go to press and reveal classified intel and risk a felony.
..............
That forced the leakers to offer up unmasked, “clean” docs with Flynn’s name unmasked, to back up the media stories.
“....Ya gotta love these Clintons....”
Yeah. The Toons are something else....very special, indeed.
They’re professional grifters....and murderers.
Both of em sold their souls to Satan years ago and have a special pact with the devil that allows them to live forever and do whatever, whenever they want and to anybody they want.
There is hope though; the Grim Reaper will NOT be denied...although when it comes to their beloved PIAPS, he may have to hold his nose while he swings.
The process by which unmasking must be done was explained by Admiral Rogers in an interview after he retired. For each unmasking asked of Flynn, needless if that was all they were asking for— this group of a@@clowns got around the strict rules with the “hop and skip” method for surveilling ANYONE Flynn was talking to, and then who those people were talking to-— waaaaaay beyond the Kislyak call, and not the 33 other foreign ambassadors he called. Call it “multilevel” unmasking bypassing the strict rules of Federal laws (which, btw liberal dems insisted on for civil rights— what irony)
The “hop and skip” to other individuals from the multiple requests for the same unmasking-— is completely illegal— major security breach of NSA intercepts— and is spelled out in the enabling legislation created to protect individual privacy.
That is the crux of the importance of the exposure of multiple unmasking requesters— the Queen of them in sheer numbers was Samantha Power (who tried say someone had “used her name by hacking it”— never happened, she gladly helped build the entire surveillance operation of thousands of Americans). This is the “obama” apparatus which that idiot Maxine Waters bragged about repeatedly. It is obamaumao’s STASI like surveil, which in Flynn’s case was decided to remove him— because Flynn was set to expose all of this abuse,political surveillance, and because he was advocating AUDITing several 3 letter intel agencies. He had to be taken down, fired— whatever.
The requests must be in writing. And the request is documented with reasons for the request. The written requests will be declassified, and all hell will break loose for the ones who are not to be indicted, and exposing them to the public. Durham has all the other request letters— they are evidence no one ever thought would be revealed in their “operation”.
The football season is looming...
What reason is there for ben rhoads or Biden have for unmasking....they arent investigators.
Your 100% right.
Sorry for that.
:)
Dems used the unmasking to attempt a coup...no prob for a dem like you
i am used to personal attacks from dems like you.
“I know you are, but what am I”?
Please tell us why General Flynn’s 4th amendment rights were forfeited for being on a phone call with the Russki.
because general flynn forfeited those rights ...
it will happen to all of our rights if we do not fight for them.
flynn made the choice to forfeit his rights to protect his son... it was the wrong choice. your constitutional grandstanding means nothing unless you are willing to stand up and fight to prevent those who will take them from you.
call me what you want, i have fought the government for my fifth amendment rights and won, putting my property on the line... we have to stop the bullying, but there will be casualties. we will have to demand accountability for there will not be.
“flynn made the choice to forfeit his rights to protect his son”
His rights were violated before he forfeited any rights by pleading guilty.
Because he pled guilty retroactively justifies his 4th amendment rights having been violated a year or so earlier?!
no...
he didn’t fight hard enough for them.
or you didn’t fight hard enough for him. we all didn’t fight hard enough for him... first they came for flynn...
our rights are only ours if we are willing to fight for them, for others to have them. your virtue signalling to me that i am a dem, shows me you’re only looking for easy fights. keep it up, i am sure the fascists will stop taking people’s rights away when they get to you.
They don't . But they know the whole conversation. They know that the other person is probably representing Trump and talking about the sanctions.
Correct. They asked who was on the other end of the conversation because they read the conversation with just that person's name blanked out.
The list is the people who asked for a blanked-out name in a conversation. The fact that most of them were asking for that name for partisan political purposes is going to be hard to prove. The leaking of Flynn's name is a felony but it only took one person to do that.
Many people read a conversation with Flynn's name blanked out and many of them asked for the name.
I think you are making it too complicated. They read the call with Flynn's name redacted, and they asked for the unmasking. When they do further searches they are working with Flynn's name to find more calls between Flynn and other foreigners. But, in my opinion, that's not the same as proactive surveillance in the FISA court. Two different things. The first is conversations with foreign suspects that have already (and always) been recorded. The second is wiretapping.
The problem is using the search tool for political purposes.
Again, she's not creating future surveillance. These are past conversations that have been recorded because the foreigner is of some higher rank or importance. The US names are redacted. By unmasking hundreds of names she is building the social network database. But she is doing it for political targeting because there's no way those searches could have been anything else.
Thanks. Makes sense and sums it up well.
Big swing and a miss. I neither virtue signaled nor called you a Dem.
Goodbye.
