In an unusual development casting further shadows on the motives and dealings of the Obama Administration, Sen. Chuck Grassley released a partially redacted email written by President Obama’s National Security Advisor Susan Rice, and sent to herself, documenting a meeting with Obama where he allegedly stressed “his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect” of the investigation regarding Russian hacking during the 2016 Presidential election is handled “by the book.”
This is a revealing letter in many respects, and suggests the question of whether to depose or not depose President Trump is the wrong one.
Unquestionably, the planks on the bridge leading to Hillary Clinton and her involvement in the FISA affair and with Russian activity designed to influence the outcome of an American presidential election are multiplying and becoming sturdier with every week that passes, while the ones leading to Donald Trump are rapidly crumbling.
But there also appears to be a new extension emanating from the Hillary Bridge, one leading to former President Obama himself, and one that was just made stronger by the hapless and unwitting actions of the dishonest and often bumbling Former National Security Adviser, Susan Rice.
The mere fact that that Rice would write an email to herself makes the communication unusual, but there is so much more that raises questions.
First, the letter was sent on Jan. 20, 2017, at 12:15:32 PM, from, and to, an official government email address. Of course, this is the date of the new President’s inauguration marking the peaceful transfer of power from the Obama Administration to the Trump team. Although the date of the letter is indeed striking, even more surprising is the time, as it was sent after President Trump had been sworn into office at approximately 11:47 a.m. By 12:15 p.m., the time the email was sent, both President Obama and his White House team, inclusive of Rice, were out of office.
Why would Susan Rice be sending an email containing classified information and detailing certain aspects of a meeting with the Immediate Past President of the United States using an official government email less than 30 minutes after the new President had been sworn in when she was no longer National Security Adviser? And does the act of handling classified information less than an hour after the expiration of her term in office make Susan Rice criminally liable? After all, she was no longer in any official capacity.
Equally as intriguing, Rice is actually not the only recipient of her self-sent email as she copied one of her staffers, a young man named Curtis Ried, who according to his very scant twitter feed worked for Ambassador Rice for seven years. Why cc Curtis Ried? Did he have a need to know about this meeting? Was the email solicited by Ried? Did someone else ask Rice to send it, and if so, who?
This brings us to the substance of the Jan. 5 meeting documented in the email. Why would the President of the United States, in the last fortnight of his tenure, need to remind the FBI Director, the Deputy Attorney General, the Vice President, and the National Security Advisor, of the need to carry out an investigation regarding suspected Russian hacking “by the book”?
Adding to the incongruity is Rice’s problems with her candor and her lack of credibility. Recall, this is the same Susan Rice that The Washington Times’ David Keene called the Obama Administration’s “go-to liar” largely because of her multiple attempts to sell a fake story to the American people linking the attack on our embassy in Benghazi to a ridiculous and inconsequential movie. She is also the same Susan Rice who called Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl a hero. One must strongly consider that Rice’s email represents another messaging mission given to her by the President Obama.
Admittedly, the public is not in possession of sufficient information to answer the myriad of questions posed by Rice’s actions. But here’s what we do know.
Along with the texts sent by Lisa Paige to her FBI lover and coworker, Peter Strzok, there are now at least two known references regarding the possible direct involvement of President Obama in the covert and illegal investigations of American citizens with the intent to dig up dirt on his party’s political opponent, more than enough to depose the President’s potential direct role in this latest example of the federal government’s abuse of power.
You’re going to get a whole lot of “I don’t remember.”
Do you mean, like, UNDER OATH? (/s)
Why would she even have access to a computer at that point?
Obama should have been “deposed” in 2009.
In DC, no one cares.
44 no BC so what. no ss# so what.
IRS Atrocity. all walking.
Funding terrorists. all tweeting.
FBI Sedition. at work in human resources piling pensions.
They did keep themselves EXEMPT, however.
Can you please start posting the author of the (mostly) blog posts you post? Thanks.
They need to depose Valerie Jarrett and Huma Abedin, the closest advisers to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton respectively, first.
If they are not able to obtain the needed info by deposing Rice and the other attendees, then maybe they could justify deposing Obama.
“Why would she even have access to a computer at that point?”
Maybe she was busy pulling the “T”’s off the key boards.
Sure thing! That one was Rep. Julio Gonzalez.
Yes, those three and many others need to be disposed with prejudice.
Anacharsis said this 2,600 years ago.
And the smartest woman in the world along with her criminal cohorts all develop a severe case of CRS
Nice! Thanks!
Because there is no controlling legal authority to stop her. She probably could have stayed in the building for a month if she wanted to. What are they going to do, drag a black female out of a chair and put her on a bus? Melatonin / Gender immunity - that's why they got hired in the first place.
I would love to set up a “reunion”, invite everyone who was part of the odumbo administration and once they attend, round them all up and move them to an deserted island and let them cannabilize each other until the last one eventually died of starvation.
I kinda hope that ‘depose’ is a euphemism for ‘waterboard’.
May I suggest: CPAN should live broadcast the event from the floor of the House?
Pay-per-view will help pay off the debt that obama caused
