Lindsey Graham Asks Very Simple Question About ‘Unmasking’; Massive Evasion Effort Ensues

For months now, Senator Lindsey Graham has been trying to get an answer to a very simple question, namely ‘if his conversations are ‘incidentally’ captured while he’s overseas talking with a foreign leader who’s being surveilled by the U.S. intelligence community and his name is subsequently unmasked, is he, as a United States citizen and/or as a U.S. Senator, legally entitled to know that he’s been unmasked?’

And while the entire world is being distracted by the “Russian meddling” narrative, Graham’s question highlights the single most important issue that should be “top-of-mind” for Americans as it gets to the heart of whether the various intelligence agencies in this country can be transformed into political weapons of mass destruction.

As we pointed out a couple of months ago, the timing of Susan Rice’s requests to unmask conversations conducted by Trump officials that were ‘incidentally collected’, and the subsequent leaking of that information to the press, would seem to highlight the urgent need for clarity on this topic (see “Confirmed: Susan Rice “Unmasked” Trump Team“).
