Unmasking
During last week’s session before the House Judiciary Committee, AG Bill Barr was asked by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) if John Durham was looking at the unmasking of Michael Flynn. During the final stages of the Obama administration, Flynn’s name was unmasked 49 times by 38 different individuals in the Obama administration. These included seven unmaskings by the Treasury Department.
Barr’s answer appears to catch the room by surprise. Barr tells the committee that a separate US Attorney, one John Bass from Texas, has been tasked with handling the unmaskings investigation. There are now five USAO’s working on parallel tracks within this investigation.
