"This is called incidental collection, and it can occur when people in the United States communicate with a foreign target of U.S. surveillance — or even when they chat about an overseas suspect. The identities of Americans whose communications are inadvertently collected are normally kept secret, though they can be “unmasked” under certain circumstances for foreign intelligence purposes.

Nunes said Wednesday he is worried this unmaking process has been abused, citing news media reports that former national security adviser Michael Flynn had pre-inauguration phone conversations with Russia’s ambassador."

Abused by whom? Those trying to get the dirt on Trump and his people? Is he worried Intel listened when they shouldn't have? That data was illegally collected on Flynn?

I never thought I would ever learn so much about spy stuff.
