"From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia."

Am I reading this right? It sounds like they were trying to lay the groundwork for keeping things hidden from the incoming Trump administration.

There must be things that they don't want revealed.

The way the questions are worded, it seems that Grassley-Graham already know the answers to these questions.


They must be attorneys. :)

It’s obvious a cya email.

It may be an attempt to cover HER ass, but it may uncover Obama's ass. It casts Obama in a very dubious light.

I would think it unprecedented for an outgoing President to discuss whether or not to share information fully with his successor in the last days of his outgoing administration. I can't think of ANY reason for this unless the outgoing President was aware of an ongoing investigation of the incoming President (valid or invalid).

Obviously, as a long time FReeper, I'm going to interpret this as an ongoing investigation of Obama's manufacture, rather than real Russia, Russia, Russia. After all, these are the people who lied about Benghazi being due to a video, and put some guy in jail to back it up. And (the wife keeps reminding me) Hillary shamelessly lied over the coffins of the returned dead to their parents.

Since Lindsey Graham is one of the GOP Senators taking the lead on this, I think it’s safe to say he knows damn well that HE was one of the GOP candidates under surveillance by Obama.

"Why was Zero asking Comey to keep him informed of ANY DAMN THING AFTER 1/20/2017? He was no longer POTUS..."

My thoughts exactly!

What's this?

The little rodent-faced know-nothing liar is a Senior Fellow, at the Belfer Center

They must be hard up to have hired her.

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

Keep in mind that the Obama crime syndicate's incessantly going to the FISA trough could prove very instructive. B/c not only is it a no-no to LIE to a FISA court.....it is a felony to WITHHOLD info from the FISA court.

<><>Did Obama/Rice's request for a FISA warrant stipulate that Obama and Susan Rice wire-tapped Trump Tower......while Trump was a candidate?

<><> Did Obama/Rice's request for a FISA warrant stipulate that Obama's CIA director Brennan used phony foreign intel as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into candidate Trump?

<><> Did the request for a FISA warrant stipulate that phony foreign intel led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to candidate Trump residing and conducting business in Trump Tower?

<><> Did the request for a FISA warrant stipulate that foreign intel gave cover to Susan Rice's sifting/unmasking operations?

I didn't think so.

"ALL these people Obama surrounded himself with were not very smart..."

I agree, and would add Hilary to the list of libs who surround themselves with morons.

This brings up Hanlon's Razor, which states:
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

As it relates to Russia, Hillary, the DNC, FBI, DOJ, CIA, NSC, etc.

Thats a bit more accurate.

Some piss poor cya. Grassley will have pretty solid answers to the questions he’s asking. Rice did a fair amount of unmasking, but we still don’t know why Powers did so much, so much in fact she claims much of it wasn’t her. So who was using her name ?

“””12. Did President Obama have any other meetings with Mr. Corney, Ms. Yates, or other government officials about the FBI’s investigation of allegations of collusion between Trump associates and Russia? If so, when did these occur, who participated, and what was discussed?”””


This is a key question. It seems obvious that Obama and others had several prior meetings about Russia/Trump and by memorializing this meeting they could claim it was the only meeting they had had re Russia/Trump.

“Why was Zero asking Comey to keep him informed of ANY DAMN THING AFTER 1/20/2017? He was no longer POTUS...”

That seditious and hateful ideologue sat there with Trump in their post-election meeting, acting like such a gracious person, but was all the time plotting. This is clear. Meanwhile, initially Trump was genuinely complimentary to Obama after their meeting, stating that the meeting went way over time because they were having such a great conversation.

Obama is one of the best liars, concealers, and bulls**tters I've ever seen. He is much better than Bill Clinton at this. He could make just about anything sound well-reasoned and above board. That talent, combined with what appears to be a deep-seated resentment of traditional America makes him very dangerous. Even now. He is truly an ideologue, as much as any Bolshevik, and he is very willing to do whatever appears necessary to achieve his goals. Just like Hillary, the ends justifies the means. The difference between them is that Hillary is on a mission to go down in history as a great historical figure. Obama wants to change history, and transform the major Western power on Earth.
