Grenell, a Trump ally, declassified and sent the list of names to Republican senators.
“I am providing a revised list of identities of any officials who
submitted requests to the National Security Agency at any point between 8
November 2016 and 31 January 2017 to unmask the identity of former
National Security Adviser, Lieutenant General Michael T Flynn,” read a
memo from Gen Paul Nakasone, director of the National Security Agency,
released by Grenell.
Unmasking is a routine practice used to identify a person anonymously
referred to in an intelligence document. It takes place hundreds of
times a year, without controversy.
Flynn was under scrutiny because of his conversations with the Russian ambassador about sanctions.
The list of officials released by Grenell includes former ambassador
to the United Nations Samantha Power, former director of national
intelligence James Clapper, former FBI director James Comey and former CIA director John Brennan. The last name on the list, from 12 January 2017, is Biden.
This isn't a conspiracy theory.
