Former Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice met Friday with investigators from the Senate intelligence committee regarding Russias attempts to influence the election.
Rice is one of three former Obama officials who met with the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, according to an official who spoke with CNN, but part of the reason why this meeting is particularly hot is due to several Republicans thinking Rice revealed the identities of Trump associates collected by the intelligence community.
Ambassador Rice met voluntarily with the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence today as part of the committees bipartisan investigation into Russias interference in the 2016 US presidential election, Erin Pelton, Rices spokesperson, told CNN. Ambassador Rice appreciates the Committees efforts to examine Russias efforts to interfere, which violated one of the core foundations of American democracy.
Former Obama Chief of Staff Denis McDonough and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper also met with the committee.
Regarding the allegations that Rice unmasked Trump associates, chairman of the committee GOP Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina said they traced back to House intelligence committee chairman Devin Nunes.
While Burr admitted individuals were, in fact, unmasked, he said that a full evaluation would be necessary before coming to any conclusions about improper activities.
The unmasking thing was all created by Devin Nunes, and Ill wait to go through our full evaluation to see if there was anything improper that happened, Burr said. But clearly there were individuals unmasked. Some of that became public which its not supposed to, and our business is to understand that, and explain it.
For her part, Rice has strenuously denied any wrongdoing.
The allegation is somehow Obama administration officials utilized intelligence for political purposes, thats absolutely false, Rice said to MSNBC on April 4

Hmmm?
So when do the leaks begin?
She is the UN ambassador not some counter intel operator. She had no reason period.
NON print version:
Well some unmasking and leaking needs to happen against them. Let them scream about it and watch the confused establishment...
I’d love an anonymous source revealing that Valerie Jarret was talking with the mullahs etc and that Rice was worried her lies would be exposed etc
Congress regards their role is to COVERUP crimes,
protect CRIMINALS, and keep themselves EXEMPT
from the “laws” they pass for others.
Congress is hated by the American people
because they DID NOTHING to stop the IRS Atrocity
which THEY created, and DID NOTHING to stop
the endless murders of witnesses which
they created by doing NOTHING.
If the FBI doesn’t put someone in jail for this unmasking, I am going to be pushing hard for no more FISA.
They can’t police themselves.
Lawyers for Jr and manafort got them a deal not to testify In public at this time.
Met privately. Behind closed doors. Now they gotta figure out what to tell the American people. Truth is a rare commodity in the DC swamp. All the swamp creatures agree on one thing for sure: can’t let the American people know too much or they may actually demand justice. Can you say ‘gloss over’ or maybe plain and simple ‘cover up’. Close ranks and protect their fellow elites. That’s what I expect the congresscritters to do.
In the Swamp Three of a Kind beats a Full House...
“Some [unmasking] became public which its not supposed to, and our business is to understand that, and explain it.
Talk about a weasel sorry ass politician. That is Washington-speak for nothing will ever come of it. It is just a thing we have to understand and regret and “explain” (dismiss) into oblivion.
“The unmasking thing was all created by Devin Nunes.”
Then how did (at least) Flynn’s name go public?
>>The unmasking thing was all created by Devin Nunes, and Ill wait to go through our full evaluation to see if there was anything improper that happened, Burr said. <<
Priorities: Russia #1; Unmasking: #15
>>Our business is to understand that, and explain it.
No WilBURR, “TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS” - That is your job.
Do it or WE The People will find someone who who understands their “job” better than you crony swamp slitherers evidently do.
“”Lawyers for Jr and manafort got them a deal not to testify In public at this time.””
When did that change? Originally reported yesterday (Friday), it was only Kushner’s questioning that would be done in private on Monday...the others in a public session on Wednesday.
Unmasking “thing” was created by Nunes?
Last night. Sorry..on phone. Cant do links.grassley said something like eventually there will be a public hearing
