I don’t think that’s necessarily true. There are different means by which to tap phones. Masking is a product of FISA process. If Kislyak was under surveillance from something other than a FISA warrant, Flynn might not be masked.So there goes the lie about how Obama was out to get trump and frame Flynn right out the window.
So now, what is the new lie and conspiracy going to be now?
Don't you far right radical extremists realize that after so many lies, after so many phony conspiracies, do you really think people are going to believe anything you say anymore?
If you do, you're even bigger fools than I thought.

Flynn’s name was never ‘masked’ on key intelligence document: report
An FBI report on communications between former national security adviser Michael Flynn and then-Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak never redacted Flynn’s name, despite GOP allegati…thehill.com
Moron....it proves the exact opposite...it shows that Flynn was directly targeted for spying, you doofus........They didn't need to unmask him because they were spying on him directly, they screwed up with what they did here you moron....
Before they could say they didn't know who was on the other side of the conversation when they asked for the individual to be unmasked...and it just happened to be Flynn......this shows they didn't need to unmask him because they already knew it was Flynn, which means he was specifically targeted....you moron.

Unmasking? The Real Story Is When Flynn Was Not Masked in the First Place | National Review
Where is the record showing who unmasked Flynn in connection with his fateful conversation with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak?www.nationalreview.com
That, the story goes, is what must have happened to Flynn. Trump’s designated national security advisor was unmasked because, once intelligence agents intercepted the December 29 phone call, they decided it was essential to identify the person with whom the Russian ambassador was discussing sanctions that President Obama had just imposed against Moscow.
I no longer buy this story. If it were true, there would be a record of Flynn’s unmasking. DNI Grenell has represented that the list he provided to Senators Grassley and Johnson includes all requested unmaskings of Flynn from November 8, 2016 (when Donald Trump was elected president) through the end of January 2017 (when the Trump administration had transitioned into power). Yet, it appears that not a single listed unmasking pertains to the December 29 Kislyak call.
-------
To summarize, the list provided by Grenell indicates no unmasking of Flynn between December 28 (the day before the call) and January 5, even though news of Flynn’s identification was already circulating on January 3 (when McCabe briefed McCord about it).
--------
That said, it’s totally possible that Flynn was already the target of a FISA warrant. That would be classified information. Given Horowitz has been going over FISA warrants with a fine tooth comb, the fact that we haven’t heard of problems with a FISA warrant for Flynn indicates that it likely wasn’t a misuse of the system if it did exist.
The article clearly states why his name wasn't redacted from the documents so he was never unmasked.
Here's that part for all of those who didn't take the time to read the article, please pay attention to the last sentence:
