Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Saturday called the requests for "unmasking" Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn by a large number of Obama officials "crazy" and called for reform, saying the process is a way to skirt the Constitution. "If the government wants to listen to your phone calls or my phone calls, the Constitution says they have to have probable cause that we committed a crime, they have to take our name and reasons to a judge," Paul explained. But [in] these secret courts there’s no protesting, no one even tells you they have listened to your phone calls. "But to have two dozen Obama administration [officials] 'unmask' him," Paul said, referring to Flynn. We need to reform the processes so that so many of these easy ways of listening to phone calls, we don’t snatch up Americans in this."
