Treasury should never have been part of the unmasking of Flynn, because its surveillance operation was off-the-books. ...the Justice Department never gave the required approval to the Treasury program, [not] a DOJ-sanctioned domestic surveillance operation

This surveillance program was run out of Treasury’s Office of Intelligence Analysis, ...under ... S. Leslie Ireland. Ireland came to OIA in 2010 after a long tenure at the Central Intelligence Agency and a one-year stint as Obama’s daily in-person intelligence briefer.

See last two paragraphs, where Leslie Ireland talks about preparing the PDB and in-person briefing President Obama

...the OIA opened a back door to give access to the intelligence agencies.
...FBI, the CIA, the NSA and the U.S. Dept Treasury all collectively worked on the investigation into Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn
