How could they tell? Even if the transcript included a line saying


"Hi, this is Flynn," (which I assume would have been redacted as part of the masking in the first place), wouldn't it be in the best interest of both the then-current administration AND the Trump team to be sure it was someone from Trump's team?

What if it were some rogue actor pretending to be part of the Trump transition team making a deal with a foreign adversary? Wouldn't it be important to confirm who the unidentified US person was?

How do you think they could have known it was Flynn? Especially since you don't even know the contents of the intelligence that most of the unmaksing requests were for in early to mid Dec.
