[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, these key words in the NSA memo released today aren’t getting enough attention:

“Each individual was an authorized recipient of the original report & THE UNMASKING WAS APPROVED THROUGH NSA’S STANDARD PROCESS, WHICH INCLUDES A REVIEW OF THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REQUEST.”[/quote]

This is standard practice and happens all the time. If there is intelligence that someone in a position of influence is having secret talks with the Russian ambassador and other foreign government officials, the people in need-to-know positions ask who it is. If the approval process determines that the request is from a need-to-know person, that person gets the name.

Unmasking doesn't mean the name was made public or shared outside the need-to-know national security people, but Trump lovers are too stupid to understand that.

Flynn made everything worse for himself, after the calls to the ambassador, when he lied to Pence and the FBI about them. Once Pence publicly repeated Flynn's lie about he discussed, Flynn was open to blackmail by the Russians who could threaten to expose his lie. That made him a national security threat.

The argument within DOJ was not whether to investigate Flynn, but whether it should be primarily a counterintelligence investigation or a criminal investigation. No one disputed that he lied to the FBI and the VP and that it should be investigated. Barr is lying again and misrepresenting the internal FBI deliberations about the Flynn case.[/quote]

Just a hunch...... I am betting that unmasking a member of an incoming administration by people in the White House is NOT standard practice.  [/quote]

I don't think you get it. They didn't know they were unmasking a member of an incoming administration. Hence the request to unmask. They were unmasking an unidentified American who was having treasonous conversations. That person just happened to be a member of an incoming administration. Maybe ask, what was the conversation the now Flynn was having and with whom. Let's get the transcripts and recordings and see what he was trying to do and assess if it was valid to make the request based on the information known at the time.[/quote]

Trumpkins who are crying about unmasking of  treasonous conversation which resulted in Flynn’s identification fail to ask if the conversation were above board why did Flynn lie to Pence?

In addition if treasonous conversation caught on wiretapping are not unmasked and a traitor goes on commit a crime against USA, who should be blamed. in addition to the traitor?[/quote]

I have said this before......

I don't think Flynn actually lied to Pence.  I think Pence was told by the FBI that Flynn lied to him.  I think they mischaracterized his conversation.  
YuThere was NOTHING treasonous in Flynn's conversations.  He was the incoming national security advisor.  It was his job to speak to people from other countries.  
He knew his calls were being monitored.  You folks love to throw out these accusations with absolutely no evidence.  
You simply cannot recognize that perhaps, many in the Obama administration were not as pure as you want to paint them.  [/quote]
Trump fired him for lying to Pence. Tell him, not us.[/quote]
