Samantha Power, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, was ‘unmasking’ at such a rapid pace in the final months of the Obama administration that she averaged more than one request for every working day in 2016 – and even sought information in the days leading up to President Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources close to the matter told Fox News.
Two sources, who were not authorized to speak on the record, said the requests to identify Americans whose names surfaced in foreign intelligence reporting, known as unmasking, exceeded 260 last year. One source indicated this occurred in the final days of the Obama White House.
The details emerged ahead of an expected appearance by Power next month on Capitol Hill. She is one of several Obama administration officials facing congressional scrutiny for their role in seeking the identities of Trump associates in intelligence reports – but the interest in her actions is particularly high.
WOW, what was Obama ans his clan up too.
I wonder how many laws were broken this time?
They GOP and AG, got off you butts.
Globalist desperation looking for any crumb to use against Trump and his team. Overturning Nov. 6th wasn’t just a gambit. It’s an expectation. Breaking laws is no problem when the perps are protected from consequences by deep state operatives. I expect much foot dragging delay and intentional obfuscation with respect to Republican investigations.
Trump’s pro-America return power to the common folk platform to them is like a wooden stake to a vampire’s heart. For the Globalist agenda to remain safe it needs to remain hidden in the dark shadows and avoid being dragged out into the daylight.
OOPS.. sorry slow system. Fixed spelling but nothing happened.
This is Watergate x 1000. But it’s Dems so its really not you wingnuts.
Let me guess: the unmasking was done in the interests of “national security”, right?

The EXTREME left doesn’t even attempt to conceal their motives and methods. They announce it. The Obama Admin. was RUN by these people. They will kill their own children to remain in power. They already OWN and OPERATE the DEEP STATE … which is why none of these American Traitors have yet to be indicted. They will cover their tracks, hiding behind the 5th Amendment, Executive Privilege, National Security … and when all other remedies fail … they will fall on their swords for the “greater good”
We ARE at WAR. A civil war that we conservatives are losing … badly. Our very Constitution is under assault both inside and outside of our government. One of the only ways we can save our country is to FAST TRACK multiple court cases including FOIA cases to the Supreme Court. The termite leftists in our Deep State are counting on delayed justice … to DENY justice.
It may be noteworthy that the Congress was controlled by Republican Leadership…It was Mitch that gave the GO-a-head, not one Congressional investigation resulted in any action. Congressional Oversight has incredible power over the Deep State, they are the Deep State…
Mitch OK’d the Comey FBI whitewash of Hillary (never Trump) The Hillary Investigation was done such that no loose end or open record was created. No FBI Transcript was made of Hillary testimony, no grand Jury, everyone one who had knowledge got immunity,, FOR WHAT
Mitch Ok’d the Russian investigation & wire tapping
Mitch made sure AG Jeff Sessions was neutered RE: Russian Investigation
Mitch OK’d Special Investigator The Special Counsel Investigation is a cover-up of FBI, NSA and CIA corruption with approval by Congressional leadership….Comey was a mechanic/fixer for Obama and Mitch’s FBI operation (look at his background employment activity)
The FBI could be disbanded if Robert Mueller screws up and thinks he can
piss up a rope…Time to Punt.. Mueller, while you still have your reputation!
JMHO
And no one in any of the highly professional, trustworthy, and ethical US Intelligence Agencies said anything, questioed anything, or tried to stop anything?
Time to de-authorize it, shut it all down, and fire them all. Guilty, innocent, indifferent? Do not care. Fire them all, and make an example of them all for every other partisan bureaucrat.
And then do the same in the IRS, EPA, and NASA.
I am afraid that will be the ONLY way the swamp can be drained … is to blow it up and cover it over.
Albeit on a different level of malevolence and mayhem, this reminds me of the Japanese hardliners, refusing to yield power, until finally they got nuked.
Meanwhile Mueller tries to justify his existence by trying to pull a Scooter Libby on Manafort, who has been surveilled for three years without charges.
Now Clapper admits he’s either a liar or a fool with a poor memory, certainly he comes across as incompetent: oh right, maybe Trump was bugged.
The power pendulum was bound to swing one way or the other and act as a political guillotine – Trump’s head over Russia collusion and racism – or the Dem party in virtually its entirety – for using the state security apparatus to try and gather dirt on a political opponent, even after the election.
My bet has always been with Trump. If he lasts until April 1st, which he will, I win my bet with a doctor friend for lunch.
Yes, the political establishment must be nuked, that is the only way they will give up their now unelected power, dragged out in chains.
Meanwhile the last of the RINOs, various other trough feeders and the deep state criminals look for cover, any cover.
This has not gone well for the Dims; they have been caught doing what they accused Trump of, being a despotic and narcissistic dictator.
The plan all along was to gather dirt on Trump for his show trial, jailing and public humiliation for dissing Queen Hillary after her coronation.
Now the whole establishment feels their necks slipping into the noose. They deserve every bit of that political indigestion, a fate well earned.
