Mike Flynn's name was not redacted from FBI intel report about his conversation with the Russian ambassador, sources say. Flynn's name was unmasked in other intel reports about other conversations he had with foreigners, but not the Dec. 29 phone call.
Flynn's name was unmasked in other intelligence reports about other conversations he had with foreigners, but not the one about the Dec. 29 phone call that got him in legal trouble, the sources said.
That call with Kislyak was monitored by the FBI under a FISA warrant covering Kislyak, as is standard practice, current and former officials have said. Many former ambassadors and foreign officials working in the U.S. are monitored by the FBI as part of routine counterintelligence inquiries.A former senior intelligence official explained that FBI reports based on FISA collection, unlike reports from the National Security Agency, generally do not"mask" the names of U.S.
Unmasking is a routine practice by which senior officials with security clearances request to learn the names of Americans who are overheard speaking to foreigners if the names are deemed important to understanding the intelligence. The names are otherwise usually redacted or"masked."
