#1 Even though this was posted after the 2:00 p.m. ET deadline, I thought it important enough to publish today rather than waiting for tomorrow.

#5 NYPost - “They did not have a basis for a counterintelligence investigation against Flynn at that stage, based on a perfectly legitimate and appropriate call he made as a member of the transition,” Barr told CBS News last week.

Seems like I read that somewhere, like, three years ago, or 39 months ago.

#9 Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Clapper, Comey, Biden and others were strangely silent on this.

#10 #9, probably a lot of phone traffic today with DNC LIE execs saying "it's not going to be possible to totally ignore this, it's not even going to be possible to actually spin this..."

#11 Next up, some NSA captures of phone calls and emails. Again, this is what it looks like when a dam gives way.

#13 All that False News claims were 100% true. Obama set them up to sell out their credibility. Gotta wonder if anyone in the media turns on them after 3 years of being manipulated.

Naturally most will just continue to dig trench works to defend their guy, but certainly some...

#15 If I was Sanders I'd walk away from the Democrats and form my own party at this point. He's too old to run again but could play King Maker for the Socialist party.

But instead he's working with Biden and Obama to do damage control.

#17 Watergate in reverse.

At the beginning of 1973 IIRC, s.t. like only 25% of Republicans had turned against Nixon.

By early summer of 1973 ca. 70% of Republicans thought Nixon should resign.

I expect we will see the same process play out now vis-a-vis Biden. And then Obama.

I'm picturing a "last helicopter out of Saigon" sort of scene, with Barry, Mike and Valjar all scrambling up the ladder.

#23 :-) Can you imagine him and Terrayyza asking where they can tie up their 42' powerboat "Scaramouche"?

#24 What is not being mentioned, or did I miss something ?

"Unmasking" deals with processed intelligence reports or intelligence production. Production aimed at foreign entities with Mike Flynn also in the room. Ok, I got it.

(1.) Where was the "need to know" regarding the dissemination of these reports to ambassadors and others, not even remotely associated with the intelligence process?

(2.) Where are the actual written requests (which would have provided justification) for the "unmasking."
