Barr Names Prosecutor to Investigate Unmasking
Trump says revealing Flynn’s identity to Obama officials was attempt to undermine him
By:Wall Street Journal, May 28, 2020:
Story continues below advertisementAttorney General William Barr has tapped a federal prosecutor to examine Obama administration officials’ use of the practice known as “unmasking” around the time of the 2016 presidential election, which President Trump has portrayed as an effort to undermine him.
U.S. Attorney John Bash of the Western District of Texas will oversee the review, which comes in conjunction with another probe Mr. Barr requested into the origins of the FBI’s Russia investigation, Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said.
The review is “looking at incidents specifically before and after the election,” Ms. Kupec said. The months leading up to the election are of particular interest, a person familiar with the matter said.
“We know that unmasking inherently isn’t wrong, but certainly the frequency, the motivation and the reasoning behind unmasking can be problematic,” Ms. Kupec said in an interview late Wednesday with Fox News’s Sean Hannity.
Unmasking is a common practice in which authorities request and receive the names of U.S. citizens mentioned in classified intelligence reports, often intercepted communications of foreign officials. The authorities must have the requisite security clearance to view the names.
Mr. Trump and his supporters say Obama administration officials abused that power to unfairly target the president and his associates, a charge Democrats deny.

“Burn Minnesota down!”
I hope they go after the head snake. He fooled everyone with his charm and his pitiful behaviour. In reality he was a dangerous Manchurian Candidate for the Muslim Brotherhood and he belongs in Gitmo.
Everyone that is being investigated should be required to turn in their passport so they do not flee the country.
My question posed 6 months ago is : who will run ?
Attorney General Bill Bar Opens Investigation Into Obama Administration…….Sadly THREE YEARS TOO LATE !!!
Since even Grenell admitted the unmasking was legitimate, what are they investigating?
Legitimate ? Why would Ambassador Sally Yates need to make over a hundred requests . How is an Ambassador involved in counter intelligence ?
Bring it on! I’ll believe it when I see it. Will the unmasking of the truth finish destroying the nation? or save it? America let the whole Obama farce happen, from the illegal unamerican president to the the most corrupt government, short of totalitarian, in history, can it stand the truth? From Clinton to the present the leftist, so called democrats, have progressively become more corrupt! Is there really an interest in truth and justice? Or just a ruse to prevent total collapse and revolution?
According to AG Barr, an unsuccessful coup is not illegal; however, the perpetrators of a successful coup will be memorialized in history as the winners. Not prosecuting the coup leader Obama, a previous president, is understandable; however, not investigating the coup leader is unconscionable.
I will believe it when it happens! Obama and his crew of cutthroats were the final nail that will cause the downfall of any resemblance of justice in America. How did a one time community organizer for Acorn end up as president of the free world? George Soras and his wealth might have something to do with it. Move on dot org is just a cover for their combined anarchy. God help us folks!
There is already enough EVIDENCE to CONVICT these governmental “white collar employees” who tried to commit a COUP against the American People. ARREST, CHARGE, PROSECUTE and JUDGE them according to the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND — THE CONSTITUTION!!!!!
