The U.S. government’s foreign surveillance sweeps up American lawmakers and their staffers so routinely now that Congress is alerted as often as once a month that its employees involved in intercepted conversations have been unmasked and their identities shared with intelligence or law enforcement agencies, Circa has learned.

The notifications are just one of many growing signs that what once was considered a rare event inside the intelligence community -- the unmasking of a conversation involving Americans captured overseas by the National Security Agency or the FBI under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act -- is now becoming more widespread after President Obama lowered the thresholds and privacy protections for such sharing starting in 2011.
The NSA is authorized to spy on foreign powers without a court warrant under Section 702 of the FISA law.

How come none of them have been leaked to the press? Why hasn't Hillary's campaign talks with foreign dignitaries been leaked? The leaks are only for political assassination and with what little proof leaked out about Trump tells me they have exactly jack sh*t about collusion and a whole handful of "holy sh*t they caught us spying on law abiding Americans and everyone knows it".

Are private citizens informed when they are unmasked in such incidental communications surveilence? If not, why are congressmen?

I'm not an expert, but maybe because they don't want the shite they're threatened with going public?
"Here are compromising photos with you and 14-year old boys, Senator Graham. You want to support the President's policy on this, don't you?"
