LMAO. You know who you are, but here's one of you JUST YESTERDAY:
"Illegal unmasking is, which is what happened to Flynn."
Turns out, he wasn't "unmasked" at all because he was appropriately never "masked" for the key call that is at issue. That could change, but what a hilarious development (for now) all the funnier because its reported on Faux News.

Again, at least for now . . Trump makes you all look like clowns by floating a crazy incomplete/misleading story and recall that he did so WITH ALL THE ACTUAL FACTS AT HIS DISPOSAL (meaning he thought everyone was too dumb to catch it). In other words, he and his team KNOW everything that is just now being reported AND MORE . . . before they ever float it.
HERE WE GO . .. .
The genesis of the entire fake Flynn saga is the allegedly LEAK of an allegedly "unmasked" Flynn for . . importantly . . a SERIES OF DECEMBER 2016 CALLS with Russian KISLYAK. These are the calls he lied about that led to his twice pleasing guilty. Here's FAUX NEWS on the timing:
"The timeline of that activity already strongly suggested that the numerous, recently revealed requests to "unmask" Flynn pertained to other reports. The source noted that Flynn’s calls with Kislyak took place during the presidential transition period on Dec. 22, 2016 and Dec. 29, 2016. The source then noted that a majority of the known Flynn unmasking requests from top Obama officials came prior to Flynn’s calls with Kislyak on those dates."
'PRIOR TO'
So . . . the unmasking request that one of you said was "illegal" are not even relevant because they are BEFORE the call that is the subject of the fake saga.
bwhahahahaha
So . . . how was Flynn's name known . . . once again, Faux News:
"On Tuesday, Graham sent a letter to Grenell questioning why the list of Flynn unmasking requests “did not contain a record showing who unmasked” Flynn’s identity in the call with Kislyak."
REMEMBER THE NAME GRENELL because then . . .
" . . The Washington Post reported this week that it was the FBI, not the NSA, that wiretapped Kislyak’s phone calls and created the summary of the transcript."
THE FBI, NOT NSA . . . no masking and done "legally"
"According to the ODNI’s Office of Civil Liberties, Privacy and Transparency, a U.S. citizen's actual identity may be included in an intelligence report at the time it is first prepared and disseminated if such inclusion meets the agency’s minimization standard.
Former Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York Andrew McCarthy told Fox News on Thursday that because the FBI regarded Flynn as a "suspected clandestine agent of Russia," the agency "could have rationalized either that Flynn's conversation with Kislyak was itself foreign intelligence information, or that, because Kislyak was an agent of Russia, knowing Flynn's identity was necessary in order to understand and assess the importance of the information about Russia's activities and intentions."
McCarthy, earlier this week, first highlighted the absence of a record showing who unmasked Flynn in connection with his conversations with Kislyak."
SO, HIS NAME WAS IN AN FBI REPORT BECAUSE IT WASNT THE NSA
bwhahahah
AND HERE'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND TO SEE THIS FOR WHAT IT IS -- A CON JOB BY TRUMP
THIS ALL COMES OUT BECAUSE IN FEBRUARY TRUMP NAMED GRENELL ACTING DNI . . AND THAT HAD PEOPLE SCREAMING ABOUT THE FLATLY POLITICAL MOVE (see below) BECAUSE GRENELL IS A TRUMP LACKEY AND NOT AN INTELLIGENCE GUY. WELL, IT WAS GRENELL WHO DECLASSIFIED THINGS!!!!!
Here's McCartyy as reported by Faux News (note the reference to Grenell)
"“I suspect that’s because Lt. Gen. Flynn’s identity was not 'masked' in the first place. Instead, his Dec. 29, 2016 call with Kislyak was likely intercepted under an intelligence program not subject to the masking rules, probably by the CIA or a friendly foreign spy service acting in a nod-and-wink arrangement with our intelligence community.”
Meanwhile, other intelligence agencies did produce reports that included information on Flynn in which his name was masked. The requests in the document declassified by Grenell would appear to refer to these reports, though it's not clear whether those involved in the requests even knew Flynn was the redacted name"
bwhahahahahahahahah
bwhahahahahahaha
bwhahahahahahahahahaha
bwhahahahahaha
HIS NAME WAS OUT IN THE OPEN AND GRENELL IS SUCH A TOOL WHO ACTUALLY PUHSED THIS BS STORY THAT HE EITHER MISSED IT . .
OR THOUGHT PEOPLE WOULDNT NOTICE
AND SWEET IRONY . . ITS LINDSEY GRAHAM WHO SAYS "HOLD ON . . SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT"
:-)
