Former Vice President Joe Biden and other top Obama officials received information in response to "unmasking" requests targeting retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn in the final weeks of the previous administration, according to a memo declassified by acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell.

The list, obtained by the Washington Examiner on Wednesday, shows Biden received information at least once in response to such an unmasking request on Jan. 12, 2017

I thought Powers admitted to unmasking names, but said she didn’t unmask the high amount of names that were credited to her.

However the record shows she has a January 11th unmasking of Flynn, one day before David Ignatius wrote his column identifying the Flynn call to Sergey Kislyak

Not exactly the right to privacy but your constitutional rights under the 4th Amendment, search and seizure. It’s the same rights that protect you from wiretaps in private phone calls. If your calls are captured while a foreign entity is being surveilled, the foreign entity is fair game because they aren’t protected by the constitution. However, if your call is monitored because they are actually listening to a foreign target, you still have constitutional rights under the 4th amendment. Therefore, your identity and your part of the call can not be considered as evidence in court, because they didn’t get a warrant.

Do you really believe all these calls were to foreign entities?

By the way Grennell has more docs. I hear 7 in total. This is just the first batch.

TRUMP: Biden “was a big unmasker”

“The problem is that so many people had access to the unmasking, it is impossible to prove which one leaked”

But not impossible to find what reporter it was leaked to. Is it not a felony on that end as well? Supena them, let them take the fifth, toss them in jail. I’m pretty sure it has gone down that way before. Judith Miller from the Scooter Libby fiasco comes to mind.

Been posited that Flynn has been surveilled since his firing by Obama. Obviously Holder and Bummer are ends justifies the means type New Americans. Spoke briefly to wingman after running into him at an airport. He gave me the black eyed stare of someone who'd score above 28 on PCL-R. imho

Please answer me this: Why would multiple people request the unmasking. Surely Biden knew it was Michael Flynn before January 17th. Help me out.

So is Biden campaigning with an impeachable offense around his neck?

Canklebeast Clinton was overheard saying “my name isn’t on the list, YES!, do it Barr, please oh please, oh please?

He forgot? got confused? Wasn’t that the same day Mustachioed Rice sent (inaugreation day) that last second CYA email to herself in regards to Odunga’s meeting on Jan. 5th. Hummmm very interesting.

Looks like everyone in the Obama administration was terrified that Flynn might be exposing their skeletons. All this unmasking had nothing to do with Russia (other than that serving as the excuse). It was a cabal of deeply corrupt and at-risk dirty pols trying to keep tabs on what Flynn was saying about them and to whom.

Everyone should give Biden a break. He's just like a little kid in autumn. All the older boys are talking about masks leading up to Halloween and he wants one too. He wants to be a big boy too.

After Clapper explained what making and unmasking was, Biden asked, "Can we unmask Cornpop?"

Im confused about that too. Unless the Russian was in on the whole scheme and frameup? They (Dems aling with the Russian) had set Flynn up ahead of time? And thats how they knew what conversations to ask to be unmasked.

I dont really get all of this either. Just know that very very smart people on FR have been waiting a long time and this is a huge step in the right direction. Hopefully this will all come clear.

Could we possibly finally get some justice for these treasonous thugs at the “news” networks.. was it illegal for them to publish classified info?
