Rand Paul Destroys Morning Joe Panel, Says ... Rice Needs to Testify Under Oath for Trump Unmasking
ZeroHedge.com ^ | 3 April 2017 | The_Real_Fly

Posted on 04/05/2017 7:14:37 AM PDT by Rockitz

Amidst a cacophony of smug laughter and abject ridicule on the ultra-left leaning Morning Joe panel, Senator Rand Paul managed to weave his way into the discussion and utterly destroy their narrative.

Paul's claim was the collection of data, 'backdoor searches', encroaches on the civil liberties of all Americans and that 'secret warrants' by 'secret courts' should be eschewed and replaced by standard old fashioned search warrants.

When Paul asserted the White House had used the collection of surveillance for political purposes and that Rice should be subpoenaed and questioned under oath, the panel led by Mika Brzezinski and Bill Press, jeered him.

"They were not spying on these Americans", said Press. His argument was that foreign agents were being spied on and that Trump and his team just happened to come up in 'incidental' intelligence gathering.

Paul then ripped his spine out when he said "I think it's a mistake to downgrade this and say oh it was just incidental and not a big deal. It's a HUGE deal that we are collecting millions of Americans phone calls and that someone can go to a keyboard and search for it without a warrant. This is an illegal warrantless search."

After this beat down, I'd like to see a lot more of Rand Paul on TV, but I doubt he'll be invited back to "Mourning" Joe.

One wonders what the presstitutes would say if Trump was the outgoing Pres and was spying on BathHouse Barry?

As much as I agree with Senator Paul, and would not want to copmpound a wrong with anothwr wrong,I am at the point where some these a**h**es like Press and Brezinsli should be treated the same way Trump has been treated, utilizing the same abuse of power Rice, Obama, Lerner, and others have been engaging in.

I would propose that Trump and his staff announce they will use the wire tapping capabilities of the NSA to go after the Dems 2020 presidential candidate. That would really stirr them up.

Bill Press is still alive? Well, he is on MSLSD so it was just his career that died.

It wouldn’t do any good, we already have the WikiLeaks where so many of them colluded with Hillary. We already know that 2 people from the O administration are related to 2 higher ups in the MSM. Susan Rice’s husband is formerly with MSM.

They think they are justified and trying to save the country for their filthy agenda.

We need to stick to the rule of law and continue to fight back by keeping alternative news outlets up front.

No. Announce that any potential contacts relating to "National Security" will be surveilled, and if the candidate, their family, and campaign workers happen to be "incidentally" included and names leaked, that's perfectly ok based on precedent.

Every time someone gets on a show with these Rats they should be asked how they would react if the Bush admin had pulled this crap on Obongo.

Democrats have gone from: "Trump is insane for suggesting Obama admin spied on him, [to] Susan Rice was just doing her job."

==============================================

Just doing her job. Phew, I'm so relieved.

So Democrats are OK w/ Obama/Susan's surveilling/unmasking b/c it's "all legal."

Okay, then Pres Trump needs to do his job. He needs to announce ASAP, that since this is “all legal,” his administration will step up and do the legal thing to protect Americans' safety and security.

They'll be surveilling and unmasking any and all Democrats, on a continuing non-stop basis, particularly Democrats who have talked with foreign ambassadors, foreign financial groups, tropical offshore entities, and the like.

Plus, the Trump administration will ask for the “unmasking” of all those Democrats who are involved in such talks... because it is "legal."

AND Trump will use "Obama’s very on legal rules" to distribute that information to every US intelligence agency. (HAT TIP BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP)

==============================================

Democrat will be s-o-o-o pleased that Trump is following in Obama's footsteps.

A couple of times is incidental, as long as they can show that the targeted person offered relevant intelligence.

But if there is a persistent pattern of unmasking, and the intelligence is political information, then that is not legal.

We need to know more about the details of the intercepted calls.

If all this is, as Press says, Trump and his team just happened to come up in ‘incidental’ intelligence gathering, why are they making such a big deal of Russian involvement?

Just wait until one of these journalists or talk show hosts finds out that Obama and crew surveilled them (you know they did). Then watch the $hit hit the fan.

So we know that if it was okay for a democrat administration to secretly use illegal power, openly using it now by Trump IS okay now too!

...”After this beat down, I’d like to see a lot more of Rand Paul on TV, but I doubt he’ll be invited back to “Mourning” Joe.”...

Rand Paul is one of the finest Senator’s in our government. He is not open to influence peddling of any kind and is highly intelligent. He is a doctor who knows the legal workings of American government in and out and he is courageous enough to speak up about corruption and lawlessness in government. Tangling with him is really not what these lizard brained persons want unless they like egg on their faces.

Just wait until Ted Cruz and Little Marco figure out they were being surveilled by the Obama/Clinton machine as well. This whole thing will blow up BIG TIME. Heads will roll...

Mika (paraphrased): “With all due respect - we don’t KNOW that Rice did what you suggest.”

To which the reply should be: “Well, aren’t you the LEAST bit curious??!!”

Rarely have I seen the MSM so shamelessly cover for the dems.
