yeppers!!! way to go.. Now you got it.
I don't believe that's correct. Post up something.
something!
Nothing.
Whomever said you need a warrant to unmask incidental targets of Surveillance was wrong.
You Need Authorization. That could be in the form of a Subpoena. Or it could be done by A Lawful and Public Order to do the unmasking by An Intelligence Official who has that Authority, but to do that, he or she has to cite a Criminal Violation, and also has to have The Classified Information Declassified and have this approved, and has to cite why.
There are hurdles and checks and balances in place that you have to overcome to unmask an Incidental Target of Surveillance, and NO ONE ACCOMPLISHED THAT!
In other words The Unmasking was Illegal because there was No Legal Authorization Ordering any Unmasking to take place.
It does not matter if you argue over whether or not The Surveillance was Legal or Not. There was no Authorization to Unmask which means The Intelligence was still Classified, and was not Legally Declassified.
This then become a Felony Espionage Case and is a violation of The Espionage Act which subjects The Leaker to Sedition, and Treason Charges as well.
