At that point the name is unmasked.

It hasn't been disclosed, leaked, disseminated, mishandled, etc. What is improper about the NSA asking to know the identity of someone talking to the target of surveillance by a US intelligence agency?  And who is as it used for political gain after Trump was elected?  What am I missing?

Nothing improper, possibly no political gain, that's all not what I'm arguing.

To put it simple, when Rice is asked if she knows about incidental surveillance resulting in unmasking (and again, I see the word "disclosed" not in the sense of "made public", but "unmasked in surveillance reports") of Trump aides, there are two possible truthful answers, from what I know:

1. Yes, that happened
2. I can't talk about that.

But saying "I don't know anything about this", it just seems like not being quite true. Again, that's all I argue. Not that there was something shady going on, something unlawful or whatever. You read the question and her answer differently, and fair enough, let's leave it at that.
