List of officials who sought to 'unmask' Flynn released: Biden, Comey, Obama chief of staff among them
Document at link:Quote:
Top Obama administration officials purportedly requested to "unmask" the identity of Michael Flynn during the presidential transition period, according to a list of names from that controversial process made public on Wednesday.
The list was declassified in recent days by Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell and then sent to GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson, who made the documents public. The roster features top-ranking figures including then-Vice President Joe Biden -- a detail sure to soon be raised in the bare-knuckle 2020 presidential race where Biden is now the Democrats' presumptive nominee.
The list also includes then-FBI Director James Comey, then-CIA Director John Brennan, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Obama's then-chief of staff Denis McDonough.
...
Meanwhile, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Wednesday penned a letter to Grenell inviting him to testify before the Senate Subcommittee on Government Oversight next week about the unmasking of Flynn, noting that he has questions about what Biden and former President Obama knew.
“During my prior oversight of this matter, I met several dead ends, and I have many remaining questions in regard to President Obama’s administration abusing its authority,” Paul wrote to Grenell Wednesday. “Unlawful unmasking of U.S. persons should never be swept aside in hopes of being forgotten in time.”

The list has the dates. It is clear that Dec 14, 2016 was the date where this group agreed to go all in. They spread it out among a lot of people, but the vast majority happened on that one day.Quote:

Rand's angle is apparently to use this to bring the GOP on board with reducing the power of the FISA courts.
Nice idea, but it's not going to work; the GOP only cares about the surveillance state insofar as it affects the GOP.
It would be better to just lay out the libertarian case, without getting into this partisan nonsense.
Yep, correction, Biden was Jan 12, 2017.Quote:

Brennan: Rand Paul’s ‘Inane Comments’ Show He Has No Understanding of Intelligence Profession
Pam Key - May 14 2020
...He added, “So when I’ve heard some of the comments today by like Senator Paul, whose comments —he has no understanding of the intelligence profession. He makes these inane comments that really misrepresents the facts. And so I’m sure at Fox News, and others right now are engaged to try to besmirch the reputation of a lot of people within the Obama administration who were carrying out their responsibilities the way they should have.”
