The argument about the unmasking is utterly stupid. People who discuss this do not seem to understand how this works. You are trying to imply they did something wrong or illegal when they did not. Unmasking is common and happens thousands of times a year. They did not know who they were unmasking until after they were unmasked. That's the entire point of the masking - The ID of the person is protected until there is a valid reason to unmask the person. They didn't know who it was until after they unmasked them.
Now we are finding out Flynn was trying to work a deal with the Turkish government to kidnap someone on US soil for fifteen million dollars? While he was working for the future president of the United States? But let's talk about what's important - Hillary's emails.
