Not so much. Reply #10 makes it look like unmasking was entailed in the very FISA warrant itself.Title 1 allows not only surveillance of US citizen Carter Page (accused of being a foreign agent by the Clinton financed Steele Trump hating dossier), but also follow up surveillance of any of his direct contacts—the entire Trump team, irrespective of when Page stopped being a campaign advisor. Logic of FISA title one is simple—catch the entire spy network. Result is horrific. Any Page call or email to the Trump team exposed the entire Trump team to surveillance under title 1 of FISA.
No. The fact of unmasking indicates a circumvention of minimization. Minimizing a name is synonymous with masking a name. Names were masked according to the law and to any minimization specifics recited in (or incorporated by reference) the warrant.
