Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has decided to declassify information about Obama administration officials who were behind the “unmasking” of Michael Flynn -- whose calls with the former Russian ambassador during the presidential transition were picked up in surveillance and later leaked -- and their names could soon be made public, a source confirmed.

There are those pesky words, again:
1. “could”
2. “soon”
3. “made public”
What about the hundreds of unmaskings that came from Rice, the UN rep and dozens of other people who shouldn’t be unmasking?
Post The List !!!!
It’s a good start. We need the names of all the FBI contractors that were searching the NSA database in the spring of 2016, too. This was before Admiral Mike Rogers discovered it and shut them off, forcing the FBI and CIA to turn to the likes of Misfud, Halpern and others; and the FISA court.
Passing information from one bureaucrat to another doesn’t accomplish anything. Grenell has declassified the names. That’s nice, where are they? Under Barr’s fat butt, just like all the things Trump declassified and put Barr in charge of a year ago.
You left off a couple other pesky words “tick tock”.
It wasn’t just Flynn, they unmasked thousands of people.
Wow, the illusion of something happening.
We need to look back to the beginning of the Usurpation, Obama was using all of the assets of the US government for political purposes.
He used the IRS against the tea party groups.
He used the FBI, CIA and NSA to build the most massive database on EVERYONE that anyone had ever seen according to Maxine Waters in 2013.
Umask the Unmaskers NOW!!!
“Post The List !!!!”
Timing.
If there’s one thing we should have learned from the left is that one must release damaging information at the point where it will inflict the most possible damage and yhave the greatest negative effect on you enemy.
I would wager that if we made one up, it would come pretty close to what is eventually released.
These orange jump suits in the closet are getting dusty, come on already!
Need to Unmask the LEAKERS
Exactly what's the problem with unmasking?
True... We can only hope that it is all leading to airtight cases against all the conspirators e.g. they are not going to tip their hands too fast; and maybe a couple of frogs will jump from the pot before it starts to boil and becomes witnesses against the seditionists.
It all shows why we need a very limited federal government. But for now, going back to Lois Lerner would be a distraction. It is of course one of the many incidents that show the complete lawless hubris under the Obama administration. Abuses of power need to be punished. There should be a federal crime for “dereliction of duty” for federal officers just like for military personnel.
But to get there from here, we have to start with the sedition; the weaponizing of the intelligence services against political campaigns and the related incidents - the crimes committed against Trump and Trump campaign.
Then you work your way up, offering deals if they squeal. It will start to get interesting up around the appointment level. They each will know if they don't squeal on their boss, the music will stop and they won't have a chair. Even Comey will say Obama ordered it done in the end. They might be a few that would fall on their sword for Obama, but not likely. If you have 3 or 4 lines of inquiry going at once, even better.
When you use this method, Someone in line one will have said something incriminating about line 2 or 3 and the leverage will go on even if one line peters out.
It wasn't some GS 13 that decided to unmask names and listen in on phone calls. You would get a name in 5 minutes if you just asked them. There will most likely even be paperwork with names on them at that level. Why in the world this wasn't started 4 years ago speaks to the depth of the swamp involved. Even the head of the FBI hasn't moved one iota since his appointment and he has access to all the records and people. Even Bill Barr (whom I love) has had several chances to charge someone recommended for prosecution and has no prosecuted one of them. Pick one, any one of them, and the names will start to flow.
Keep in mind this was a foreign surveillance wiretap for counterintelligence purposes. It was not supposed to be used for domestic surveillance of US citizens without a warrant.
If you catch US citizens on that wiretap as “collateral damage”, you mask their identities to protect their rights, unless they are actually caught doing something related to the scope of your wiretap. Unmasking them is basically retroactively violating their 4th amendment protections.
