Bull ******* shit!!!!
They didn’t even get an okay from the FISA court for surveillance until last October.
You seem to forget that they have no right to be monitoring Americans' communications without a warrant. If the NSA captures any they're not allowed to keep it, much less spread it around without a court order. They have to provide probable cause to a judge before they can go rooting around or developing spreadsheets on political opponents. I guess they decided that the laws were preventing them from spying on Trump so they ignored them.
What FISA warrant?
You idiots are so convoluted with this shit. Not a one of you has even a simple understanding. You're conflating all sorts of shit that has nothing to do with each other.
These are existing intelligence reports of existing intercepts from existing warrants.
They were masked by the agency that collected them and made the reports.
Rice had to request that the reporting agency unmask the names. The fact that it was granted shows clearly that is was done properly.
Simply unmasking the names so as to get a clearer picture of the report is no no way spying. Only the person who requested the unmasking is permitted to see it. They don't even get a copy let alone have the ability to forward it to anyone else.
So, I have no ******* idea what you are saying or trying to say.
