The newly declassified list showing who submitted requests to unmask Michael Flynn, the incoming national security adviser in late 2016 and early 2017 for president-elect Donald Trump, leads one to believe the Obama administration used intelligence agencies to go after a political opponent, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Wednesday.

Dozens of officials in the administration submitted requests to unmask an identity in a National Security Agency foreign intelligence report that turned out to be Flynn just before Trump entered office, according to list.
