Graham: Rice Has History of 'Political Manipulation' of Nat'l Security Information
insiderfoxnews ^

Posted on 04/05/2017 2:41:27 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said today he intends to find out the story behind former national security adviser Susan Rice's actions and whether she manipulated classified information for political gain.

According to Fox News' Adam Housley, sources have named Rice as the member of the Obama administration that initiated the unmasking of names of Trump transition officials caught up in surveillance.

The unmasked names were then sent to other top Obama administration national security officials.

Graham said on "America's Newsroom" that lawmakers must "get to the bottom of" what Rice was doing, pointing out her history of "political manipulation of national security information."

He pointed back to Rice and her top deputy, Ben Rhodes, misleading the American people about what happened in Benghazi in 2012 to benefit President Obama politically.

"She's done it in the past. Whether or not she did it this time, I don't know, but it's something Congress should look into," said Graham.

"I'm not going to prejudge here, but I think every American should know whether or not the national security adviser for President Obama was involved in unmasking Trump transition figures for political purposes," he said.

Graham said he has "no idea" if Rice's actions were illegal, but called for former Obama administration officials James Clapper and John Brennan to speak to the Senate.

Graham reminds me of little yap dog.

He is always chasing or barking at something, seldom ever catching it.

It seems to be his way of keeping his name in the media.

Kind of like “stroke of the pen, law of the land”, you’ve got all this intelligence info there right in front of you, begging to be used...

After all once Hillary is in office, the ends will have justified the means (which no one will ever know about anyway). Or care.

I think, now that he’s putting distance between himself and McCain, he does not sound like quite as much of a KOOK.

Forget “getting to the bottom.” They need to get to the top - where all this shenanigans was authorized.

I know, it’s scary.

Then again, I think of Darrell Issa and Benghazi and “Make sure this doesn’t happen AGAIN”.

And Hillary and Obama AND SUSAN RICE skated.

Perhaps he's just not the most leftist Republican Senator ever, despite FReepers constantly pretending like he's to the left of abortion-loving, gay-marriage touting Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins?

Head fake, he doesn’t care. Between him and McQueeg they are totally compromised and the Dems know it. All talk.

Amazing and I have not even started drinking yet. Perhaps I am having Delirium Tremens and just think this is what Graham said.
