A New Round Of Biden Smears Launched From The Ukraine Fever Swamps
The 2020 election is six months away, and foreign interference in it has begun. The same people who brought you the conspiracy theories for which President Trump sought to extort Ukraine last year…talkingpointsmemo.com
As I predicted.
It’s difficult to overstate the extent to which a scandal around this is baseless. A number of high-ranking Obama admin officials asked to learn the identity of American citizens picked up in intelligence reports, thereby "unmasking" Flynn. This past week, Trump hack, acting DNI Grenell declassified the list of Obama administration officials. All of this has led to a hullabaloo on the right, expressly because Joe Biden was among the officials (which is why the list was released).
But the whole batshyte crazy conspiracy conveniently ignores a lot and completely mischaracterizes the process that it purports to describe. By law, the intelligence community redacts the names of U.S. citizens who appear in intelligence reports. High-ranking officials can then ask for the identity of a particular redacted name. The fact of the request means that the officials who are asking don’t know the identity of the target. Such requests themselves are incredibly common. The NSA releases data on these types of requests, and it shows that there were 9,217 requests from 09/2015 to 08/2016.
Why ask for the unmasking. Because the then unidentified person had made contacts with Russian nationals, one of which was Kislyak.
Why go to all these lengths to save the confessed criminal Michael Flynn?
Simple. Joe Biden's name is on the list. The smear campaign has begun in earnest and duped, knuckle dragging Trump cultists are along for the ride.
Everybody can see what's coming, right?

Duped, knuckle dragging, mouth-breathing, dentally challenged, dirty-t-shirted, glaze-eyed Trump cultists.
