Susan Rice: When the White House twists the truth, we are all less safe

WaPo ^ | 3/21/17 | Susan E. Rice

[ColdOne]

Susan E. Rice was national security adviser from 2013 to 2017 and U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations from 2009 to 2013.

Last week, the British intelligence agency GCHQ took the rare step of debunking as “utterly ridiculous” the Trump administration’s insinuation that Britain spied on Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign. On Monday, FBI Director James B. Comey testified plainly that “I have no information that supports” President Trump’s accusations that his predecessor ordered the “wires tapped” at Trump Tower. These false statements from the White House are part of a disturbing pattern of behavior that poses real and potentially profound dangers to U.S. national security.

The foundation of the United States’ unrivaled global leadership rests only in part on our military might, the strength of our economy and the power of our ideals. It is also grounded in the perception that the United States is steady, rational and fact-based. To lead effectively, the United States must maintain respect and trust. So, when a White House deliberately dissembles and serially contorts the facts, its actions pose a serious risk to America’s global leadership, among friends and adversaries alike.

First, U.S. power is frequently a function of our ability to rally other countries to join our cause. President George H.W. Bush famously gathered some 30 countries to expel Saddam Hussein from Kuwait in 1991. President George W. Bush enlisted NATO and other countries to fight

Susan Rice: When the White House twists the truth, we are all less safe>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yeah Right.

Rice on Benghazi: “It was the movie, stupid!”

She should be in jail.

[Cowboy Bob]

Is saying “utterly ridiculous” a denial?

[rlmorel]

HAHAHAHA HAHA HAHA HA HAHAHAHA HAHA HAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHA HAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHA HAHA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[McGavin999]

Do you have that on video Susan?

[Skooz]

Oh, this is rich.

Tell this to the poor slob who made the video and wound up in Obumgabe’s gulag to sell your Benghazi story.

[equaviator]

“...from a female that walks like John Wayne.”

She’s just another wannabe who regrets being born with that hole between her legs but still enjoys the double standards that came with it.

[Bodega]

Exactly right, Susan Rice, one of the Obama prevaricators, would be one to know.

[rlmorel]

I have always thought this kind of thing from them was both hubris, and an inside joke for them. They know how much they lie, and they are tickled by the outrage it causes to hear them say these things. One can imagine Susan Rice talking to her fellow travelers:

SUSAN RICE: "Hey...check this out...I am going to piously intone to them that when they speak a mis-truth, it makes us less safe and hurts all Americans, as if a lie has never left our lips! This will make their heads blow up, they will be so outraged!" (Snickers all around)

[alloysteel]

Funny that Susan Rice should mention the “less safe” aspect of things when the Former Occupant of the White Hut was a specialist at twisting the truth. Donald Trump could try for months, and he could not twist the truth as much as the Former Occupant could in a casual afternoon, and do it repeatedly days on end.

[Don Corleone]

All nations, within their capability, spy on one another.

On his final days in office:

<><> Obama appointed Valerie Jarrett and National Security Adviser Susan Rice to the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees

<><> Deputy Ntl Security Adviser Ben Rhodes was appointed to the tax-funded US Holocaust Memorial Council.

This trio can't live by do-goodism alone (smirk). We demand to know how many US govt checks this motley crew of incompetents hangers-on is cashing. (Payroll and pension checks.)

Its an old political trick to (a) pad pensions, and, (b) hand-pick people and put them on govt payrolls long after you think they're gone.

The trio's vouchers for reimbursement would also prove enlightening.

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

THE NUMBER OF GVT CHECKS VALERIE IS CASHNG ARE ADDING UP

EVEN IN THE DC SWAMP Valerie Jarrett STILL Received
A $36K Annual Pension For Part-Time Chicago Transit job

Chicago is known for its L-train. But it's the gravy train that White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett prefers to ride.

In addition to the $173,922 Jarrett earns per annum as President Obama's senior adviser, she is also paid an annual pension of $35,660 for the eight years she served as chairman of the Chicago Transit Authority, according to a Chicago Sun Times investigation.

Jarrett was appointed to chairman of the agency - a part-time position - in 1995 by then-mayor Richard Daley, whose brother, William Daley, served as Obama's chief of staff. Jarrett served as the former mayor's deputy chief of staff and was appointed to numerous other positions during his term. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

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

Wonder how many transportation bonds were issued while Jarrett was at Chicago Transit? Her pension payout would pale against her hidden income from lucrative Chicago bond deals.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Susan, Hillary, and B-O told a fairy tale to the American people about the Benghazi film-maker. Not only did they tell it to the American public, they gave a full press rendition—Susan Rice on TV, Obama at the UN, and perhaps worst of all, Hillary, who lied to the parents of the dead over their coffins. “We’ll get that film-maker who caused this.”

[Just mythoughts]

Oh, this is rich. Tell this to the poor slob who made the video and wound up in Obumgabe’s gulag to sell your Benghazi story.

I have no sympathy for that poor slob.. His entrance into the 'video' making world, he claimed he was a Jew, and went dumpster diving to that Koran-burning preacher in Florida. He is no 'innocent' in this fraud..

[Just mythoughts]

This bunch is akin to the devil preaching Christianity.

[tennmountainman]

This hack Rice lied over and over again about the Bengazi video.
She should be in jail, not running her mouth.

[Toespi]

So Susan Rice is writing for the WAPO......didn’t they give her at least a dozen pinnochios during the Benghazi debacle? The rats stick together, no matter what.

[MayflowerMadam]

Hahahahaha Hahahahaha Hahahahaha.

Susan Rice. Truth.

Hahahahaha Hahahahaha Hahahahaha.

[RummyChick]

Sometimes these headlines just make me shake my head.

Pot..meet the benghazi kettle

[Jane Long]

Kinda like blaming the attack on the Beghazi consulate, and attendant death of four US citizens, on a video?

^^ THAT ^^

[MarvinStinson]

The same Susan Rice who set a world’s record telling the same lie about Benghazi on five different talk shows in one day.
