Barr asks federal attorney from Texas to lead review of 'unmasking' in FBI's Russia collusion probe
[JUSTTHENEWS] Attorney General William Barr has asked John Bash, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas, to review the practice of "unmasking" during the 2016 presidential election.

The probe was announced Wednesday night by Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec on Fox News.

Barr has asked Bash to focus on the unmasking, amid U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut John Durham’s larger review of the federal government’s Russia collusion investigation.

"Unmasking" is a term used by the U.S. intelligence community to refer to revealing the identity of U.S. citizens whose communications are being monitored.

That practice came to light during the recent release of declassified information that showed several B.O. regime officials sought to learn the identity of Michael Flynn, a member of the 2016 Trump presidential campaign and Trump's first National Security Adviser, whose communications were monitored during the Russia collusion probe.

Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general, pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI in connection to the probe. But revelations about the probe in the recently released documents have resulted in the Justice Department asking a federal court to drop the Flynn case.

#1 Good that at least its not a DC-NY corridor/beltway swamp rat.

Hopefully this one follows the Texas Justice tradition of swift and stern action against criminals, accompanied by hard time in the sentencing phase.
