Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, told "The Story" Wednesday that he was "troubled" by the release of documents showing top Obama administration officials -- including then-Vice President Joe Biden -- requested to "unmask" the identity of Michael Flynn in intelligence reports during the presidential transition period.
"I wasn't shocked by the people who were on [the list]," Lee said, "but I was, however, a little troubled by the idea that after 230 years in which we have had peaceful transitions of power between one administration and the other, you've got what appears potentially to have been an effort by one administration to interfere with the next legitimately elected administration's efforts to conduct foreign policy."
"This is simply stunning," Lee added. "They didn't raise it with the leadership of the incoming Trump administration. That could support the proposition that maybe what they were trying to do was render less effective the incoming Trump administration. Maybe they didn't like what the incoming Trump administration might do because they were philosophically wired a little differently. This is part of what is so disappointing about all of this."

Let ‘them do their shame in federal prison for 20 years.
Maybe a Letter of Warning is in order?
A current U.S. intelligence official tells NPR's Mary Louise Kelly that there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing in the transcripts of former national security adviser Michael Flynn's conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, although the official noted that doesn't rule out the possibility of illegal actions.
The official also says that there are recordings as well as transcripts of the calls, and that the transcripts don't suggest Flynn was acting under orders in his conversations.
If the phone calls were innocent, why was everyone at the highest levels of the Obama regime so desperate to know who was on the US side of the call? How did it catch the attention of so many people? Someone pushed it out as an item of very high interest. Probably someone who's name isn't on the list and doesn't need to unmask. Could it be Kislyak himself?
Why have we not seen the transcripts or heard audio of these calls that brought down a National Security Advisor?
What a mealy-mouth UTAH response to the biggest political scandal in the history of the USA.
That's like saying, "Ted Bundy should be ashamed of himself. He should have informed all those young Utah ladies of his true interests, and his unusual proclivities."
More from Utah closet libtards.
“Ashamed”? Really?!
Wow, potentially x100 that of Watergate, and the best one can muster is “should be ashamed of themselves’. How harsh and brutal. Give it a bit though, LeeIdiot, RomneyIdiot got your back. /s
I don’t care if they are ashamed, I want them punished and to suffer for what they have done......thought the courts, of course.
Wow! That’ll show ‘em.
Lee is like one of those Chinese rockets. Was going to be a rising star when first coming to office, but crashed and burned in the end instead.

Haha I thought the same. Bad democrats, bad! For shame! There, that showed them!
