The unmasking was legit and unremarkable. It happens thousands of times each year.
The leaking to the press was the crime.

never right before a change of power -days or hours- and certainly not without a national security issue..lets see the accompanying documentation
FWIW, Flynn was not “unmasked”. He was the target of the wiretap. The unmasking order was a ruse.
It was not legitimate. It is illegal as hell to unmask for political purposes.

Yes the leaking to the press is the crime but considering the timing of these requests; after the election and up to the day of Trumps inauguration. What was their interest... Obamma’s reign was over and what could they do with any information they received.... except to undermine Trumps presidency? Coup material.
Doesn't happen 30,000 times in a year, unless the unmaskers are crooks trying to keep their a$$e$ out of prison.
I do not think that is correct. It has been reported to have ramped up to include the Trump campaign in large numbers, far beyond what might be considered ordinary.
The unmasking of political opponents is extremely unusual, and beyond the pale.
