Lo and behold, the person who unmasked the names of American citizens gathered in incidental surveillance of the Trump campaign was none other than President Obama’s national security adviser Susan Rice.
Logs show that Rice requested the unmasking of the names and then had them distributed to just about everyone she could. Those at the top of the Obama administration all got the list.
This is just another spoke in the spinning wheel of the Obama administration as it was on its way out. The Democrats have jumped in with both feet to smear President Trump any way they can, and now with this revelation, it seems Trump was, once again, right all along.
It is despicable to participate in the type of actions the outgoing administration took. The unmasking of these individuals had nothing to do with what is good for the country. It had nothing to do with the security of our election system. These extraordinary actions and then Obama relaxing the security of those names so they could be more widely distributed are pure partisan politics at their dirtiest.
