Sharyl Attkisson noticed what a good many of us have been noticing for the past few months …
Whatever happened to “unmasking” the Obama administration, especially in regard to their spying on Americans?
Whatever happened to the 'unmaskings' probe? My latest in The Hill: https://t.co/7RSj24be6Y

Sharyl wrote an exceptional piece on this topic:
From The Hill:
Could it help explain my own case in which government spy software was found on my work and personal devices?
Hypothetically, if bad actors abused their authority, might they be so anti-Trump partly because a wildcard Trump administration could be expected to unearth what they’d been doing all these years?
Last October, Amb. Power reportedly told congressional investigators that many of the hundreds of “unmasking” requests in her name in 2016 were not made by her. If true, it implies something equally problematic, or worse: Someone else in the government used her name to unmask Americans.
But we just might be too busy chasing the pretty colors flashing before us every day. They might be keeping us from taking a good hard look at a very serious matter.
Officials involved in unmaskings insist they did nothing improper, that their motivations were to protect the nation. They say they did not act for political reasons, or to spy.
If they did, people could go to prison. Theoretically.

Sounds kinda sorta suspicious to us, just sayin’.
Theoretically.
We are truly at a cross roads. It is no longer unmasking of operatives, but we need to unmask the criminals in government. If we do that, we may be down to 50 Senators, and 100 Representatives.

As citizens, we hear so much noise about corruption it’s hard to tell what is real and what is not.
But Sally said no.
So nothing to see here, move along, all good.— Roger (@rogergumley) July 30, 2018
Scandal-free presidency and stuff, right?
You have to wonder if the MSM disinterest in this story is due to the fact that they believe the ends justify the illegal means….

Oh yeah, that’s what happened.
Heh.
Sharyl also warned of third parties manipulating information based on what they think is for our own good.
This control of info "for our own good" is invariably abused to manipulate info. Beware 3d party attempts to "curate" our info. "..YouTube, Google, and Facebook have turned to Wikipedia to help fight spread of misinfo & conspiracy theories…" https://t.co/tWy2Q5BSeR

There is something going on here folks, and none of it’s any good.
