This list shows who got eavesdropping material on General Flynn that should have been unavailable. Names include Joe Biden, John Brennan, and Obama's chief of staff. It was collected as part of overseas spying by the NSA and someone asked to unmask the name of an American citizen who was "incidentally" in the conversation. Someone specifically asked to find out who he was and what he said. This list is not a list of all the un-maskings out there during those three months. It's a list of people who wanted to know about General Flynn specifically. There was no approved pathway to do this directly but they piggybacked on foreign snooping to get around the rules. The names were
published today by Acting DNI Grennell. There is also snooping done within the USA by the FBI and this is not referenced. Click to EMBIGGEN
Commenter Chojun at Conservativetreehouse adds: "Note that Obama’s Chief of Staff requested to unmask Flynn on Jan 5th – the same date of Obama’s “By the book” meeting." Also: These are word for word transcripts, not summaries that were being circulated.
