Trump deepens 'Obamagate' conspiracy theory with Biden unmasking move
The Guardian ^ | May 13, 2020 | David Smith

Donald Trump has ratcheted up his “Obamagate” conspiracy theory to implicate Joe Biden and other former White House officials in what critics say is a desperate attempt to distract from the coronavirus pandemic.

Ric Grenell, the acting director of national intelligence, on Wednesday sent Congress a list of high-ranking Obama administration members he alleged were involved in the “unmasking” of retired general Michael Flynn, in intelligence reports dating from the presidential transition....

Unmasking is a routine practice used to identify a person anonymously referred to in an intelligence document. It takes place hundreds of times a year, without controversy.

It’s not a theory if you can identify the conspirators and the elements of the crime.

The Guardian doing its part to blame Flynn and the Republicans rather than telling the truth. Lying is so easy for these leftists.

Crossfire Hurricane WAS a criminal conspiracy to triangulate weaponized government agencies against the Trump campaign and administation.

RUSSIA HACKED THE ELECTION is a frickin’ conspiracy theory and it has been shown conclusively that Donald Trump did NOT collude with Russia, that Russia’s facebook ads did not affect the outcome of the election, that Russia did NOT change ballot votes electronically, and drip drip drip the DNC “hack” occurred from within on a thumbdrive as Seth Rich may have used.

Trump deepened something? Biden, was four days from leaving office forever, and was still illegally Inspector Clousseauing his way into the opposition party’s incoming Administration.

They are probably right. Unmasking probably was done “hundreds of times” or more during the Obama regime.

I have heard several leftists trotting out the line - It’s routine, the Trump admin has unmasked over a thousand Americans blah blah blah. What cannot be ignored is that many of the poople on that list have nothing to do with the intel community. Ambassadors who are ambassadors only through donations are on that list. How in the hell does that happen??

That’s been the new DNC/northeast media talking point ......” conspiracy theory “.

It has been dispensed to the Fake News apparatus, so expect the DNC media puppets to regurgitate this term for the foreseeable future.

Unmasking is a routine practice used to identify a person anonymously referred to in an intelligence document. It takes place hundreds of times a year, without controversy. Flynn was under scrutiny because of his conversations with the Russian ambassador about sanctions.

He was being unmasked before the phone call happened. Also there were no unmasking requests from Dec 29 to Jan 4—the time between the Flynn-Kislyak calls and when Obama/Biden were briefed— an implication that Flynn’s name was not masked to begin with.

OK, unmasking requests have to be made in writing......and signed by the requester............Joe Biden.
...............
The doc exists and it contains the reason why Uncle Mumbles wanted the unmasked, unredacted intel.........eight days before Trump was inaugurated.
..............
OK Joe, what you know? Congress needs to subpoena that doc. So Joe can’t say it ain’t so, let’s all have a look.

“from Dec 29 to Jan 4” DC is a ghost town, they all jumped on it when they came back to town.

Tucker laid out a scenario tonight that had the Obama admin going around the FISA process by having the NSA forward any communications with Flynn involved sent to the WH, Once there they were unmasked via requests using a variety of individuals. This would explain why some of the folks on that list seemingly have zero to do with the intel community.

Also McDonough is on that list to Keep Obama’s name off it.

Only in Obama wackjob world can trying to defend yourself against false accusations be called "...a desperate attempt to distract..."

These democrats are going to be the death of us and our Republic if we don't get rid of them.

“Conspiracy’, “desperate,” “takes place hundred of times a year.” See how often these appear in the copy from the other snakes.

The point being the call happened on 12/29. There was no request to unmask the name of an American on a call that supposedly was picked up on Kislyak’s end. Yet there was a meeting to discuss Flynn and the call on 1/5.

So who was being spied on by our intell community, Kislyak or Flynn?

Geeze they take us for stupid.
