NYPost | Do you suspect that the noise over Trump-campaign contacts with the
Russians is just a political hit arranged by Obama insiders before they
left? You got fresh evidence of that Monday, with news that then-National Security Adviser Susan Rice was behind the “unmasking” of Trumpites in transcripts of calls with Russian officials.
Again, nothing on the public record so far shows that anyone on Team Trump said anything improper on those calls.
It’s no surprise that US spooks intercept foreign officials’ calls.
But intelligence-community reports don’t disclose the names of US
citizens on the other end. To get that info, a high official must (but
rarely does) push to “unmask” the Americans’ names.
Bloomberg’s Eli Lake now reports that Rice started doing just that last year.
