Attorney General Bill Barr has appointed a federal prosecutor to probe deeper into the “unmasking” requests that Obama administration officials submitted against Trump associates, Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec confirmed Wednesday night.
“Unmasking inherently isn’t wrong, but certainly, the frequency, the motivation and the reasoning behind unmasking can be problematic, and when you’re looking at unmasking as part of a broader investigation — like John Durham’s investigation — looking specifically at who was unmasking whom, can add a lot to our understanding about motivation and big picture events.”
Earlier this month, former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell declassified a list that showed 39 requests were made to unmask the identity of Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn between late 2016 and January 2017. The list of officials showed that former U.N. ambassador Samantha Power, former director of national intelligence James Clapper, former CIA director John Brennan, former FBI director James Comey, former vice president Joe Biden, and former president Obama’s chief of staff Denis McDonough all requested to see Flynn’s identity at different points.
In January 2017, Flynn’s identity was illegally leaked to the Washington Post from an unknown source
In the end more massive abuse of power by Obama and his administration will be exposed. Along the way, some proven LIARS, like POWERS, might be forced to explain why she lied earlier about never having unmasked Flynn after it has been proven she did so numerous times. I doubt; however, that Joe Biden, who has been proven to have lied and unmasked Flynn as well, will be called to testify.
