NRO: Biden Named in List of Obama Officials Who Requested to ‘Unmask’ Flynn
Former vice president Joe Biden appears on a declassified list of Obama administration officials who requested the unmasking of former Trump administration national security adviser Michael Flynn.
The list, obtained by CBS News, shows that Biden’s office made its request to see Flynn’s identity on January 12, 2017 — the same day that Washington Post columnist David Ignatius broke news of Flynn’s calls with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. While the NSA says it “cannot confirm” that those listed personally saw the information, the list also names former U.N. ambassador Samantha Power, former director of national intelligence James Clapper, former CIA director John Brennan, and former FBI director James Comey.

Update #2: List of officials who sought to 'unmask' Flynn released: Biden, Comey, Obama chief of staff among them (FOX News)
WNU Editor: The names that stick out are .... then-Vice President Joe Biden, then-FBI Director James Comey and intelligence chiefs John Brennan and James Clapper. US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power, and Chief of Staff to the President Dennis McDonough. There are some entries that have been redacted.
This is a big story. We have senior members of the Obama White House making requests to listen in on the communications of a senior official of their opponent. But the one sticks out in the current political moment is former Vice-President Biden's request on January 17, 2017. So much for his narrative that he was not involved in the Michael Flynn probe .... Biden Admits That He Was Aware Of The Michael Flynn Probe, But Was Not Involved (May 12, 2020).
Update #3: This story will be updated later today.

I await the defense of these people's actions. It should be interesting to say the least.
Why are 39 Obama people asking to unmask to whom the Russian ambassador was talking?
Does that sound like an efficient use of resources administratively?
Should it not be Comey, Clapper, or Brennan looking into it and then reporting back to the group for discussion?
Maybe each one of them was trying their hardest to toady up to The Great Helmsman, Barack Obama (The only man of East African Ancestry with no East African SNP's).
