it turns out that all of the intelligence divisions have their own separate rules for who has authority to approve unmasking requests. In Comey’s FBI alone, he stated that there were 20 or so people with that authority. There are 16 intelligence branches. Thus, there are literally hundreds of people that can be asked for the approval of a request, including the other possible leakers Obama loyalists Clapper, Brennan, Comey, etc., etc.
Yet you suggest that if annmasking request is not legitimate, it will be denied which is absurd since there are clearly ways to have this approved by those on the same political page.
Come on, Chris. I’d rather that you simply say there must be a reason that I can’t see right now for Biden making his unmasking request but I trust him, than insult our intelligence with the “DOJ professionals doing their job perfectly” bullshit argument that has already been blown sky high (unless your talking about William Barr in which case you suddenly go the opposite way).
