Acting intelligence chief Grenell gave DOJ list of Obama officials who unmasked Michael Flynn
May 12 2020
Acting director of intelligence Richard Grenell made the decision to declassify the list of officials involved.
President Trumps top intelligence adviser has given the Justice Department the names of Obama administration officials who unmasked Michael Flynn following his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States in 2016, according to U.S. officials.
That action, which has been a cornerstone of Trumps long-standing allegations of criminality by his predecessor, identified Flynn, then the national security adviser-designate, as the person urging Russia not to respond to punitive sanctions that the Obama administration had imposed after the Kremlins interference in the presidential election.

(181 posts)...and it is acceptable to unmask an American name as part of an investigation like this, especially after hearing him mentioned prominently in Russian communications.

(18,123 posts)Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson is trying to get the names of Obama administration officials who "unmasked" former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
The move came late Tuesday after Richard Grenell, the acting director of national intelligence, declassified a key document.
According to the New York Times, the document is "a list of Obama administration officials who sought to learn the identities of Trump associates swept up in surveillance of foreign officials."
