The federal prosecutor Attorney General Bill Barr tapped to investigate whether Obama administration officials improperly requested the unmasking of individuals during the 2016 election has concluded his probe without “finding any substantive wrongdoing,” The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
Barr appointed U. S. Attorney Jeremy Bash to review whether there was wrongdoing by the Obama administration in requesting the identities of individuals — in particular Trump allies — whose names are redacted in intelligence reports during the heated election.
The practice, known as unmasking, is common and done to help government officials make sense of the intelligence documents they are reviewing, but the president and his allies have alleged that Obama-era officials acted improperly in making a series of unmasking requests that ultimately led to former Trump campaign aide Michael Flynn’s name to be unmasked.
According to the Post, Bash and his team reviewed unmasking practices as well as whether officials at the time improperly leaked information to reporters. Bash reportedly turned over his findings to Barr, whose office chose not to publicly release the findings. The findings did not rise to the allegations Trump and his allies have made about wrongdoing, according to the report.

WTF ever
Let’s unmask Biden!
Hard to believe.
But BASH sure did...strategically right before the election.
Kids. Kids. Kids.
Remember it was ONLY after Barr Was put in place that He told the asswipe MULEHEAD. put up or shut up !
That got the ball rolling and ended that crap on mar 22 2019.
Look kids. You’ll never GET A CONVICTION OF THE SWAMP IN DC
Sounds like John Bash is the one who claims to have found nothing. He turned over his findings to Barr, who has not made any public statement.
The article states, “Bash reportedly turned over his findings to Barr, whose office chose not to publicly release them.”
Another game of 3 Card Monte without a money card. Will we ever learn?
“The way Just Us works is you narrow the scope of the investigation so that you are looking for a needle in a haystack”.
You are right on.
“But Trump made the mistake of trusting life-long swamp creatures to go after fellow life-long swamp creatures”.
Trump has done his best to find people who are not in the Swamp. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.
“Trump has done his best to find people who are not in the Swamp.”

Gotta look outside of the Wash establishment - Rudy G, Jay Sekulow, someone like that who knows how it works but is not part of it. If you gotta go with a DCer, use someone like Cruz who’s reasonably trustworthy and is not beloved by the swamp.
WP reports I would wait to see if this is actually true!!

“We found substantive wrongdoing in procedure and action, but won’t do anything about it because reasons.”
I said it before, Barr is th swamp.
Isn’t this just one aspect to the Russia corruption investigation? There’s still the fake dossier funded with blood money.
Excellent post so true
Without seeing the report, my question is whether they followed legal procedures in requesting the information as opposed to allowing it to be leaked illegally/unethically, which could be a criminal charge.
Let’s see if Flynn’s lawsuits bring out more documents on this tactic and its use, legal or illegal.
POLIDIOTS & PRESSTITUTES .......... Trust none of them ......ever.
Tom Fitton for AG. He knows the swamp and gets the real goods
If not him Flynn’s attorney Sidney Powell
