ya there was.
NSA granted nearly 2K 'unmasking' requests in 2016
http://thehill.com/policy/national-s...in-2016-report
The National Security Agency (NSA) in 2016 agreed to almost 2,000 requests from officials within the government to reveal the identities of U.S. persons caught up in foreign surveillance, according to an annual transparency report released on Tuesday.
In 1,934 instances, the NSA complied with requests from authorized officials to “unmask” names that had been originally blacked out to protect privacy. The report did not reveal the number of requests that were denied.
That figure is a dramatic increase from 2015, when only 654 were granted. The data was not provided in either the 2015 or 2014 publication — the first year the report was made public.

Page was the fall guy. So the FBI could get into the campaign
Recall Page had JUST HELPED the FBI convict a Russian spy ring!
Now he was called a foreign agent with no proof of these exchanges sited in FISA.
To that end, the FISA application draws directly from page 9 of the Steele dossier, claiming that someone "met secretly with Page and that their agenda for the meeting included Divyekin raising a dossier or "kompromat" that the Kremlin possessed on Candidate #2 and the possibility of it being released to Candidate #1's campaign."
and again Page was never indicted by any of these accusations.

So the accusations against Page were in error.
And I get the idea they knew that all along but needed some justification to surveil the Trump campaign aka ‘going crime fishing’ and since they knew Page had Russian contacts—he was their guy.
And it was ‘Oops, oh well, guess we were wrong about Page’ after they had used him as a basis to spy on Trump.
Our problem isn’t with the Russians.

What’s remarkable is how the Russia phobes will go on about how Putin is using Trump when practically everything Trump does thwarts Putin. Trump’s words don’t help Putin one bit.
But there is plenty of evidence our own taxpayer funded IC has been used against a political campaign—staring at them in the face, and they can’t or refuse to see it.

The FISC judges who approved the surveillance of Carter Page were:
Raymond Dearie (Reagan appointee)
Anne Conway (George H.W. Bush appointee)
Rosemary Collyer and Michael Mosman (George W. Bush appointees)
If there was FISA abuse they were all in on it. Maybe they're 'Deep State', lol.

From your link
According to the report — published by the Director of National Intelligence — the NSA may disseminate a U.S. person’s identity only if doing so meets one of a set of specified reasons under the agency’s guidelines.
Among those reasons is if the identity was necessary to understand foreign intelligence information or if the communication contained evidence of a crime and was being disseminated to law enforcement authorities.
The NSA provides the true identity of a masked person only if the official making the request has a legitimate “need to know,” according to the report, and has the appropriate security clearances — and if “the dissemination of the U.S. person’s identity would be consistent with NSA’s minimization procedures.”
Increased activity by foreign agents with "US persons" would be a cause for increased unmasking...wouldn't it?
What happened in 2016?
Oh yea...Russia was engaged in espionage related to a Presidential election
Ya mean like secret meetings in the Oval Office that we find out about from the Russian press? Sharing Israeli intel with Russia without clearing it with Israel? Bombing Syrian/Russian airfields but only after informing the Russians first? SIding with Putin's lies over our own intel?
Like that?
