”Unmasking” - Obama’s Instrument of Political Warfare

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.      

At a time when many of us are covering our faces, being “unmasked” might endanger our health. In official Washington, it can have the effect of destroying one’s professional and personal life.

We learned yesterday the names of over thirty Obama Administration officials who appear to have abused their power to unmask – employing intelligence tools to violate General Michael Flynn’s constitutional rights, expose his identity and end his career.

Evidently, this act of political warfare was not an isolated incident. Late in his presidency, Barack Obama vastly expanded the numbers of his subordinates allowed to unmask American citizens. The predictable effect was to enable many officials to do what was done to Mike Flynn, namely, take him out.

We appear now to have the first smoking-gun directly implicating President Obama in the “Obamagate” scandal. There are likely more to come.
