Unmasking is legal under certain conditions, not just on whim. Those reasons are what will need to be explained and justified.
But if they did nothing wrong, they have nothing to worry about. They should welcome an investigation. Anyway, anyone who tries to stop it now is guilty of obstruction.
Those are the lines I’ve been hearing for two years.

If Carter Page was such a threat why hasn’t he been charged with anything?
A warrant signed by a judge was not part of the unmasking process.
Yates approved these, as I recall
No Collusion.
Probably because if he had started the investigations before Mueller was done there would have been cries of obstruction of justice.
Look at all the drama from the left after he fired Comey to get your answer.

Uh huh.
Besides the fact he was in 2016?
We should have an investigation to see if he really was colluding with Russia on behalf of the Trump campaign. Oh, wait.,…we just did.
