Michael Flynn's name was never 'masked' in FBI docs on his comms w/ Russian amb (Obamagate implodes)

A Republican effort to determine who may have leaked the name of Michael Flynn in connection to his 2016 contact with the Russian ambassador has centered on the question of which Obama administration officials requested his identity be “unmasked” in intelligence documents.
But in the FBI report about the communications between the two men, Flynn’s name was never redacted, former U.S. officials said.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) announced this week that he wants to subpoena witnesses over the unmasking of Flynn, as part of a larger effort to unearth information about the FBI’s investigation of Trump campaign officials.
On Tuesday, he sent a letter to acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell asking why a declassified list of Obama administration officials who had made requests that revealed Flynn’s name in intelligence documents “did not contain a record showing who unmasked” Flynn’s identity in relation to “his phone call with” the Russian diplomat, Sergey Kislyak.

Let's learn these grifters' tells.
They have a pattern - each and every time.
YEP. It's the bogus "chicken-little-the-sky-is-falling" routine.
VAPORWARE.
Let's keep paying close and closer attention.
Why? Because the usual last desperation shot is to move to dismiss all charges. For example, first Flynn - and then all the Russians.
Got it? YES, WE DO GET IT.
