In case you didn’t read last week’s column, I need to take a moment here to explain that Jarrett’s 1979 column would not have any particular importance except that 30 years later, al-Mansour was in the middle of a national controversy when it was claimed that he had solicited money and recommendations to help put the young Barack Obama through Harvard Law School in the 1980s.

This claim was made in March 2008 during the heated New York primary battle between Obama and Hillary Clinton. Octogenarian lawyer and longtime New York power broker Percy Sutton had reported matter-of-factly during a local New York City telecast that al-Mansour had asked for his help in the 1980s when he was trying to get Obama into law school.

This had the potential to be an important development in the 2008 presidential campaign because Khalid al-Mansour had a long history as an anti-Semitic black nationalist, a mentor of the radical Black Panther party, and an adviser of the Saudi prince who blamed Israel for the 9/11 attacks. He was certainly no one that a presidential candidate wanted to be affiliated with, and as soon as the story went public on the Internet in August 2008, the Obama campaign called it a lie.

On September 20, 2017, Fox News reported that Power unmasked over 260 persons in her last year as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in an attempt to uncover associates of President Trump. She “was ‘unmasking’ at such a rapid pace in the final months of the Obama administration that she averaged more than one request for every working day in 2016,” even seeking “information in the days leading up to President Trump’s inauguration.”

On October 13, 2017, Power testified behind closed doors about this matter to the House Intelligence Committee. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, who also sits on the Intelligence Committee, stated that “Her testimony is they [the unmasking requests] may be under my name, but I did not make those requests.”

“Unmasking and then illegally leaking the names of Trump team members caught up in foreign intelligence gathering would have been an incredible, but unsurprising abuse by the Obama administration. Was the Clinton-DNC dossier also used as justification to abuse intelligence data to ‘unmask’ American citizens to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Donald Trump?” asked Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.  “And why is the Tillerson State Department stonewalling Judicial Watch’s FOIA investigation into this potentially illegal conduct by its agency employees?”

Separately, in a response to a FOIA request, Judicial Watch was told by the National Security Council (NSC) in May 2017 that the materials regarding the unmasking by Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice of “the identities of any U.S. citizens associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team” have been removed to the Obama Library.
