Americans inside the NSA increasing, but we also saw unmasking of Americans increase exponentially. And very curiously, from November through December after the election... so after President Trump had won. And that led to other stories where we discovered that John Brennan, Samantha Power, Susan Rice, and others within the administration were unmasking Americans unlike anything we had ever seen in the past.
to get our hands on those exact transcripts of conversations is very impossible. So we tried to do our best to tell the stories without violating any of those classified norms and without breaking the law. But what we know based on our research and based on all the evidence, it appears that, yes, there were people using intelligence and have used the intelligence that they intercepted.
