Government officials requested to know the identities of more than 1,900 Americans whose information was swept up in National Security Agency surveillance programs last year, according to a newly-released intelligence report. The identities of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents were found in 3,914 intelligence reports the NSA distributed last year, said the report released Tuesday. The annual report comes just weeks after President Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama’s national security adviser of possibly committing a crime when she asked government analysts to disclose the names of Trump associates documented in intelligence reports. Most names in such intelligence reports are masked to protect privacy, but last year government officials requested that 1,934 identities — not initially revealed in the NSA reports — be unmasked in order to understand the intelligence being conveyed. In 2015, government officials requested the unmasking of 2,232 identities.

But was there intent to misuse the information for political purposes.

You do know that unmasking a document isn't illegal.
The NSA gives another agency a document which is masked.
If that analyst thinks they need to know the names on that document to understand the full meaning of the document they can request it be unmasked.
The NSA then reviews the request and if they deem necessary they can unmask some or all of that document.

Would have been fitting if he did it 50 more times.

Obama wasn't just a Brotha. He was Big Brotha. And, Big Brotha was watching.

Abuse is a flat-out certainty

So then, I take it you're one of those who think the deep state is out to get Trump.
I obviously have no idea what's in the document but if the NSA deems that the analyst needed the information, I assume they need the information

Trump is irrelevant. This power will be abused.
Hell. Trump is liable to abuse it. His successors will abuse it
It's quite simply to easy for it not to get abused
I mean really. What's the penalty for abusing it? Nobody in those positions is at risk of losing their freedom over it.

But what's the other option. Sometimes you need to unmask to know what to make of a document.
For example:
Let's say you get a document where it says
American Male A: "I have some plutonium to sell to you"
It matters who that person is. If that guy is some 15 yo living in their parents basement it doesn't mean anything, but if that person is the spouse of someone who works at a nuclear plant that is a whole different story

I'll say it again and keep saying it.
Barack Hussein Obama is the biggest thug and crook in US political history. He was literally a Crip or Blood with a pen instead of a gun.
What a colossal piece of shite.

I'd like to know the Bush Administration stats for context before drawing conclusions.

Bush didn't have this program available to him. Obama relaxed the rules in 2011, and the Metadata was not even in place until 2013.
