As the Trump-Russia conspiracy express grinds on, a real scandal has been completely covered up by the corrupt mainstream media.
That is that several high-ranking officials in the Obama administration conducted extensive domestic surveillance operations against the campaign of then candidate Donald Trump. It was a gross abuse of power as well as a hijacking of the national security apparatus for political means.
The surveillance was aided by the unmasking of names of American citizens in intelligence reports that were widely distributed to political operatives.
One who has been identified as a chief culprit is former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice.
Ms. Rice was scheduled to appear before Congress on Tuesday but her testimony was abruptly canceled with no definite date on when (or IF) she will be questioned set as of this time.

According to the Washington Examiner Susan Rices testimony to House Intelligence committee delayed: Report:
Susan Rice, former national security advisor under President Barack Obama, is no longer slated to provide testimony to the House Intelligence Committee this Tuesday.
Fox News reported last week that Rices testimony was scheduled, and is now reporting that session has apparently been postponed.
Her testimony is still expected at a later date.
Rice became the flash point in the debates over leaks about the Trump administration after she was the focal point of a Bloomberg report that said she had requested the unmasking of the names of some U.S. citizens who were accidentally caught up in routine surveillance of foreign targets.
As the Russia investigations were in their initial phases, the Trump administration was rocked when the transcript of a surveilled phone call between then-National Security Advisor Mike Flynn and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak was leaked to the press. The leak showed Flynns account of the conversation he gave to the administration was not accurate, ultimately leading to his dismissal.
In a statement, Flynn said he had, inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information regarding the conversation.
But the issue also raised questions over what seemed to be on its face a leak by someone from within the intelligence community. And the leak seemed to be related to the unmasking of the names of people associated with the Trump campaign.
The unmasking issues seemed likely to be part of the questioning Rice would face before the committee.
The committee still has a subpoena to the National Security Agency seeking documents related to Rices unmasking activity in 2016.
Ms. Rice and other Obama regime officials are as guilty as hell in what increasingly appears to be a far-reaching and coordinated effort to manufacture a case that Trump was colluding with the Russians.
Its long past due that Rice and others are made to testify under oath about their role in the real conspiracy.
This is a flaming piece of crap.
Swear her in, and let her plead the Fifth under oath, and under the TV lights.
President Trump, time to get some wins. Get AG Sessions making some noise.
Why won’t you fight back in this arena?
It just means that Rice has the goods on the right people. Obama and herself have a standing “get out of jail free” card.
Sure glad the Republican run Congress now.
TYou can bet the Obama people have the dirt on republicans in the congressional leadership or the House Intelligence committee and are putting the screws to them.
Hey - It worked with John Roberts, didn’t it?
Fire Sessions...what is he doing to earn his paycheck???
"Susan, as you sift through the intel, get me something
damaging on Penguin books so I can shake them down for
a lucrative book deal."
"And get Harvey Einstein's tax returns. Malia needs a job."
"Oh, and Lois needs intel to target conservatives' tax-exempt status.
And don't forget the FBI files on Sharyl Atkisson, Dennic Kucinick, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer."
=================================================
Susan was a faithful Obama ***-kisser----doing all his dirty work. She figured Hillary would step in and cover it all up for good.
None of this made headlines til Trump got elected.
I guess Susan is a bit unnerved b/c self-serving Obama's more recent fairy tale congratulates himself as "the person solely responsible for stopping a Russian plot."
I guess Susan never figured Obama would throw HER under the bus.
Waterboard her.
As usual, the Demperps get off.
No rule of law.
She needs more time to get her story straight. She was leaked an email from Hillary that contained her suicide note.
Under mitch and ryan these pubbies are pathetic.
Why vote for crappola?
And the dems are worse.
Probably saved her life. Lotta witnesses getting murdered on the day before they are scheduled to testify.
She was merely "invited" to testify. Why the GOP didn't subpoena her is anyone's guess, but mine is that they are not serious about pursuing this matter and are only going through the motions - kabuki theater.
“SUSAN RICE TESTIMONY ON UNMASKING POSTPONED INDEFINITELY.”
She is like most other democrats, nothing will happen and she will get away with EVERYTHING!

If you can’t get rice to testify... if you her skate... don’t ever mention Donald jr or anyone else on this side of your lousy justice. Weak and unable to fight because you all are in the same swamp.
And Trump had better call out the dems and the repubs who own the healthcare ... don’t be mr nice guy with these hypocrites and turncoats.
I expected her to show up and plead “the fifth” on every question.
