#1 Uehlinger said. "Even though at this point, there seems to be no evidence of breaking the law, this ’unmasking’ of people was ill-advised at best.

I would encourge Mr. Uehlinger to reacquaint himself with the applicable Director Central Intelligence Directive (DCID), it's supporting legal authorities and federal laws.

#2 Ex-CIA Officer: Surveillance ‘intent was to allow for further leakage to hurt Trump administration'…

Thinking outside the box a bit. Could this same logic trail apply to former Klingon contractor Erik Snowden and his short-lived career at sometimes uncooperative community partner NSA ?

#3 I agree that the 'unmasking' was ill-advised, but probably not illegal.
The leaking of that unmasking to other agencies seems also to have not been illegal, thanks to last-minute Obama rule changes.
The leaking outside of government intelligence organizations was clearly illegal - but who can prove where the leak came from, since thousands of government officials had access.

#4 The whole thing was designed as a 'legal' series of independent actions that resulted in the leakage to the media. I wouldn't doubt a hundred lawyers looked it all over before hand, and that a hundred lawyers are currently sleeping in landfill.

#5 a hundred lawyers are currently sleeping in landfill.
