Btw, your piece would be even better if you noted that some of the most inflammatory parts of Circa report were errors.

Thanks for the note. You mean the parts about unmasking?

It's frankly a long list. The Circa piece was a shitshow.

But yes. The issue with back door searches has nothing to do with unmasking. They're also missing a Carter Page angle, though.

It's the difference between raw intel and processed intel, no?

Yes. And the big worry abt back door searches is they're routine at FBI. Probably a good number of people accessed Flynn's comms at FBI.

With the back-door searches, there's no masking to begin with, right?

Right: Tho as bad as NSA was, they do FAR fewer of them than FBI does, & mostly on people w/orders or real terror ties.

So the stuff we're talking about WOULD directly affect Carter Page on trips to Russia (tho precedes his targeting). But not Flynn.

One of the big errors in question is that if Page was approved for targeting post 9/1/16, NSA might pull up stuff from before that.
