Ok, thank you for good explanation. Here is where I get confused.
So a transcript was made of a phone call between Flynn and the Russian guy. Since Flynn is an American, his identity would be kept secret.
UNLESS a FISA warrant is filled out which a court would approve. Or, like you say, a national security request is made.
But if Flynn’s identity was correctly kept a secret, how would all these 39 people know who they want to be unmasked?
Say I’m conversing with my terrorist cousin in Pakistan and since I am American, my identity is kept a secret.
How would Joe Blow from Accounting know to request that I....I....ME...be unmasked when my name is kept secret?
Would they say we want to know the name of the American who spoke to John Doe the terrorist....so okay.
But the headlines keep saying they requested that FLYNN be unmasked and I dunno, maybe they just asked for whoever was speaking with the Russian guy.
Hope I am making some sense.
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.
They don't . But they know the whole conversation. They know that the other person is probably representing Trump and talking about the sanctions.
