1. I'm getting a bit concerned about this line I keep reading that 'it's not illegal to unmask' the ID of masked US citizens.
Er - it most certainly IS illegal.
Strict rules are in place to prevent it. https://twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/1260853613125087232

2. First - unmasking MUST be based on a valid reason. NSA rules are EXPLICIT:
It must be 'to understand foreign intelligence information or assess its importance'.
Or because the U.S. person is a foreign agent or terrorist.
Or the unmasked info is evidence of a crime.
AND.

AND.
3. The unmasked information can ONLY be for the person who requests the unmasking.
You can't start spreading the unmasked info around.
This protects the ID of the unmasked person, as well as the integrity of (say) a genuine counter-intel investigation.
UNLESS.

4. Unless you're a desperate, criminal scumbag who WANTS to allow widespread dissemination.
Looking at you, @BarackObama
Just days before leaving office, Obama issued EO 12333, intentionally designed to inject unmasked intel into the public square. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/01/obama-expands-surveillance-powers-his-way-out

'The new rules...relax longstanding limits on what the N.S.A. may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations....the change means that far more officials will be searching through raw data.'

6. Ask yourself - why would a POTUS do this just days before leaving office?
What's the possible benefit to the US?
You're correct. THERE IS NONE.
Then again, Obama was desperate to take out Trump. By doing this, he activated his #FakeNews slaves through massive leaks.

7. Not just that.
Obama and his thugs by-passed an American hero, NSA Director Mike Rogers, who until the EO was signed had the power to be a gatekeeper of any intelligence that was being unmasked.

8. 'Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch signed the new rules, permitting the N.S.A. to disseminate “raw signals intelligence information,” on Jan. 3, after the director of national intelligence, James R. Clapper Jr., signed them on Dec. 15, 2016'.
Well, well, well.
Well, well, well.
9. We are all going to be astonished at the ILLEGAL unmasking that was going on under Obama's regime, all the way back to at least 2012.
Let alone what his vile goons did with the unmasked intel.
Illegal leaking?
Blackmail?
Forged/manipulated evidence?
Etc.

10. They were (are) a group of CRIMINALS, after all.
So can we please quit this 'unmasking was legal' narrative?
It most likely WASN'T.
Don't give the enemies of America a break. Pursue them like the rats they are. Give them NO quarter.
Now, THEY feel PAIN.
#MAGA
The end.

11. ADDENDUM
ANOTHER misunderstanding.
'Obama's thugs were 'authorized' to unmask.'
SO WHAT?
I'm legally authorized to drive a car. Doesn't mean I can drive it at 120 miles per hour in a 30mph zone, wacked out on coke.
Exactly what Obama was doing with the US govt.
