"There's a published report, and I can't comment on whether it's accurate or not, that Flynn's name may never have been masked to begin with," Schiff told Maddow on Friday. "That really blows a big hole in what Grenell has been trying to do, which is establish some theory that they [the Obama administration] were trying to unmask Flynn so that they could, I don't know, persecute Flynn and now there are public reports that he wasn't masked to begin with in that call with the Russians."
"This is the problem when I think you're trying to weave an alternate history, and that is: the facts keep getting in the way," he added.
What Schiff did not get into was the question of whether the FBI was the only agency to listen into these calls and whether the bureau made a record of every one they wiretapped.
