Was the call illegal?
If not then no predicate, correct?
It was a giant fishing expedition imo.
Failed and exposed and illegal.

Legally, you'd have to ask the DoJ.
Politically, this has the potential to destroy the entire leftist movement that began with Obama's election in 2008. His reputation and that of his administration would be ruined, as would that of the entire Democrat party and the MSM that has fully bought in, if not been outright complicit in this scandal.

Not even sure why Obama was taking it to this level other than having a serious settle to score. He was outgoing. Only person that would care about something like this would be somebody infuriated and angry. Obama was the fuel source of all this Trump bitterness. Could not let it go. Trump embarrassed his whole Presidency. He lost all three branches because he was an awful President in the end. Trump kept humiliating him over and over and over and Obama went off the rails.

This is the single biggest political scandal in the history of the US, and likely will never be surpassed.
If they truly do go after these folks, it will be a sprint for whomever becomes a informant first. They will be hanging everyone out to dry.

The debates with Trump and Biden will be so deluxe 😎
I dont think Biden will weather this storm....likely won't be any debates.
Could the Dems have chosen a more damaged and corrupt candidate?

Perhaps you have a reading comprehension issue.
Right between the quotes you just gave is a sentence...
"In this case, 16 authorized individuals requested unmaskings for /masked/ different NSA Intelligence reports for selected identified principals."
They then give a list of those who requested the unmaskings and when.
Hope that helped.
Not only does it clearly state it, but it would be amazingly stupid if they randomly passed out the unmasking results to people that didn't request it.

Unmasking is not out of the ordinary. It's not even out of the ordinary to do so for blatantly political purposes (cf. Devin Nunes)
The Trump Administration is getting nervous and the echo chamber is rattling. Wonder why?
When it is unmasking of a American citizen it is out of the ordinary.
Now watch as this begins the take down of some high level political players in the coming months.
Trump isn't nervous at all.....he is ticked off and rightly so.
Don't worry....it will all come out soon enough.

Additional Disclosures from Devin Nunes: theconservativetreehouse.com... lance/
Devin Nunes appears with Lou Dobbs to discuss the recent list of Obama-era officials who unmasked NSA intercepts of Michael Flynn talking to foreign government officials.
Rep. Nunes reminds the audience that Flynn is only one person within a much larger group of Trump transition team members who were under surveillance by Team Obama.

The names on the list are those who wanted information about General Michael Flynn specifically.
Wrong. Read the top of the page at the start of the list - "Below is a list of recipients who MAY have received Lt. Gen Flynn's identity in response to a request between Nov 8 2016 and an Jan 31 2017"
When you ask to unmask something, you don't know who you are unmasking. These are just the requests for unmasking, yes we know at least one of them was the call on Flynn, but we don't know who got it.
