Whatever happened to the 'unmaskings' probe?
The Hill ^ | Juy 30,2018 | SHARYL ATTKISSON,

One of the deepest, darkest, most important issues in the whole mess has to do with the massive number of “unmaskings” of U.S. citizens. It potentially opens a can of worms squirmier than many other issues.

Could it help explain my own case in which government spy software was found on my work and personal devices? Hypothetically, if bad actors abused their authority, might they be so anti-Trump partly because a wildcard Trump administration could be expected to unearth what they’d been doing all these years?

One final note: Last October, Amb. Power reportedly told congressional investigators that many of the hundreds of “unmasking” requests in her name in 2016 were not made by her. If true, it implies something equally problematic, or worse: Someone else in the government used her name to unmask Americans.

The good news would seem to be that there’s documentary evidence of all this ... if anyone wants to discover it. There are names of who requested what and when, information as to where unmasked intel was sent, names of those who searched the NSA database and under what auspices. Unlike a lot of facets of the Trump-Russia-intel controversy, this trail should be easily traceable.

But we just might be too busy chasing the pretty colors flashing before us every day. They might be keeping us from taking a good hard look at a very serious matter.

Officials involved in unmaskings insist they did nothing improper, that their motivations were to protect the nation. They say they did not act for political reasons, or to spy.

If they did, people could go to prison. Theoretically.

Ah, whatever happened to the unmasking investigation?

Well, it is being masked, else deep state players would be unmasked.

The unmasking is critical. It led to all the FISA mischief. Power & Rice were openly seeking information on anybody and anything Trump. the unmasking led to the players/Targets. Much of the unmasking is what the DS wants hidden. Now is the time to hit the DS with everything. Probably win every seat up for Nov. Or they can wait until it is too late and surrender as usual.

They could not pin it on Trump so they lost interest.

Once again the GOP snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Some things never change.

There can be no real investigations of the real crimes committed as long as the DOJ is filled with acolytes of the Kenyanesian Usurper.

The New York Times - the worst newspaper in history - won’t cover this story because it make liberal elites look bad...

AND

Because all the other newspapers in the country are lemmings they won’t cover the story if the New York Times won’t cover it.

AND

If the story’s NOT covered in newspapers, TV ‘news’ can’t ‘see’ it and it dies.

Things will never change as long as we keep re-electing Bush League Republicans.
They are in league with the Democrats to steal the country from the citizens by flooding it with foreigners.
Trump laid it out in this speech:

Just wait until... later.

McConnell promises that as soon as the republicans can get 75 seats in the senate and 399 in the house, as well as 8 republican appointees to the Supreme Court, then there’s a pretty real possibility they might decide to grow a spine (only one spine, to be shared by them all) and rekindle the hearings, which may or may not result in an indictment, which might just possibly lead to the conviction of a low-level lackey. Or something like that.

Well, Sessions is doing his job blocking any serious investigations into any matters that might hurt the Democrats. That’s what happened.

Since the only people this “probe” could lead to are obama lackeys, this is going nowhere.
