The Trump administration has sent Congress a list of dozens of Obama administration officials who they say asked for documents that led to the identity of former national security adviser Michael Flynn being "unmasked" from intelligence reports between the 2016 election and President Trump’s inauguration.
A copy of the list obtained by The Hill includes a who's who of Obama-era officials, including then-Vice President Joe Biden, former White House chief of staff Denis McDonough, former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA director John Brennan.
Acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Richard Grenell declassified and then sent the list of names to GOP Sens. Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Chuck Grassley (Iowa) on Wednesday.
“I am providing a revised list of identities of any officials who submitted requests to the National Security Agency at any point between 8 November 2016 and 31 January 2017 to unmask the identity of former National Security Advisor, Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn USA-Ret.),” the document from Grenell reads, which has been re-organized into chronological order.
It is not uncommon for officials to ask for the identities of anonymous individuals unnamed in intelligence reports, but the list is likely to become part of an escalating debate over whether Flynn's prosecution was handled appropriately by federal authorities.

It's time to strike.
If he hasn't already done it he's either in a meeting or off his game.
This is getting silly.
Bill Hemmer has a bunch of lightweight republicans on against rats who are spinning it and still doubling down in spite of the documented evidence.
CBS Weiju Jiang said releasing the list is racist.
Yes it is.
The Hill can run defence for Obama/Biden all they want, it's not going to change facts.
I had the TV on Fox from watching Tucker last night so when it came on Hemmer was letting some DNC nutcase run on and on spewing the same lies, I had to turn the channel.
Joe Biden wanted the information 9 days before the Trump Inauguration and 6 days before he went to Ukraine.
I wonder why?
Copies of the pages are here with all the names. Joe Biden is in there, too, as well as 0bama’s Chief of Staff at the time, but, of course, they knew nothing. ;)

Maybe he wants people to sweat or panic or make a mistake or make a deal to save their life and career.
Yes he does......disgusting Bill!....seriously, is this the best you can do!

Why would Biden and Obama Chief of Staff demand the unmasking of anybody?
John Solomon: A dozen document troves that could change the Ukraine scandal if Trump released them

There are still wide swaths of documentation kept under wraps inside government agencies like the State Dept that could substantially alter the public’s understanding of what has happened in the US-Ukraine relationships now at the heart of the impeachment probe.
EXCERPT The transcripts of Joe Biden’s phone calls and meetings with Ukraine’s president and prime minister from April 2014 to January 2017 when Hunter Biden served on the board of the natural gas company Burisma Holdings.
<><> Did Burisma or Hunter Biden ever come up in the calls?
<><>What did Biden say when he urged Ukraine to fire the prosecutor overseeing an investigation of Burisma?
<><>Did any Ukrainian officials ever comment on Hunter Biden’s role at the company?
<><>Was any official assessment done by U.S. agencies to justify Biden’s threat of withholding $1 billion in US aid if Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin wasn’t fired?
Is this the documentation Obama does not want exposed?
Maybe to sell the info?
“It is not uncommon for officials to ask for the identities of anonymous individuals unnamed in intelligence reports”
It is not uncommon for left wing rag The Hill to attempt to justify criminal actions by members of the deep state.
