The unmasking of Joe Biden
The Hill ^ | 5/14/2020 | Jonathan Turley

The declassification of material from the Michael Flynn case has exposed more chilling details of a concerted effort by prosecutors to come up with any crime to use against the former national security adviser. This week, however, a letter revealed a new unsettling detail. Among more than three dozen Obama administration officials asking to “unmask” Flynn from the investigation was former Vice President Joe Biden. This revelation came less than 24 hours after Biden denied any involvement in the investigation of Flynn. It also follows a disclosure that President Obama was following that investigation.

For three years, many in the media have expressed horror at the idea of the Trump campaign colluding with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election. We now know there never was credible evidence of such collusion. In recently released transcripts, a long list of Obama administration officials admitted they never saw any evidence of such collusion — none. That included the testimony of Evelyn Farkas, a former Obama national security adviser who was widely quoted in her public plea for Congress to gather the evidence that she learned of as part of the Obama administration.

The media widely covered her alarm that this evidence would be lost “if they found out how we knew what we knew about their, the staff, the Trump staff’s, dealing with Russians.” Yet, in her previously classified testimony under oath, she repeatedly said “I didn’t know anything.” (Farkas is now running for Congress in New York and highlighting her role in raising “the alarm” over Russian collusion.)

As much of the media blindly pushed the Russian collusion story, a truly alarming story has unfolded in plain view: the use of national security power to investigate an opposing political party and opponents. There is

“...the use of national security power to investigate an opposing political party and opponents.”

But it’s so, so much more than that. It is conspiracy to undermine the duly elected President of the United States and his administration.
This is not just political party shenanigans...its a coup.

Dumb question, but when you ask to “unmask” someone is it:

1. Please give me all the calls involving Gen. Flynn or is it

2. Please tell me who US Person No. 1 is in this call transcript I am looking at.

Or can it be both?

Grenell must have been watching that interview with Biden, which prompted him to say oh no you don't get away with that lie. 8>)

But none of this matters. A Democratic administration using a secret national security court to investigate the opposing party’s campaign simply does not matter to Democrats in Congress or many in the media anyway. An investigation continuing despite the lack of any credible information supporting collusion does not matter to them either. A president and vice president taking personal interest in surveillance of political opponents? It does not matter.

This is the most important part of the article, the media can’t find a story in such a small matter as a sitting president and his vice president using intelligence agencies to investigate political opponents. After all, don’t all political parties in power use their Stasi to investigate their opponents?

Sadly, you are correct. To a majority of Americans, the recent revelations of Deep State spying are met with a collective yawn or shrug.

And yet, just a few minutes ago, I heard a radio reporter breathlessly describing how a whistle blower testified today in the House how woefully unprepared the Trump administration was for the virus and how he was punitively fired for downplaying the Trump drug, Hydroxychloroquine.

The truth may be on our side, but the means to get the truth to middle-of-the-road voters who decide close elections is controlled by the Left.

I hope there is a whole call center of media watchers who are tuned-in and turn-on the the stinking spin coming out of the DNC/Media collective.

Sure wish a crafty gamer would create an updated version of Hollywood Squares and put the Donkey Support Team in the boxes with memorable quotes.

On the left side of things, Jonathan Turley is a giant among midgets, particularly in the "honesty/truth" and "pro-America/pro-Constitution" dimensions.   Sincere thanks to him, and may God bless him.

Lets be factual. First, Biden said he didn't know anything about the investigation into Mr. Flynn. Only after Stephie told him he was in the January 5th 2017 meeting that Biden then backtracked and lied on camera that he thought Stephie asked him about the Flynn prosecution and then said he knew there was an investigation, but that that was all he knew. If Joe thought Stephie originally asked him about the prosecution, why would Biden respond with "I didn't know anything about the investigation" into Mr. Flynn. Is he that far gone with dementia? Or, is this the same ole lying Joe we've known for 50 years?
