Shortened title. Full title: Syria's government was supposed to have gotten rid of its chemical weapons in 2014. So what happened? There’s a mystery at the heart of an apparent chemical weapons attack in Syria this week: Syria’s government, suspected of carrying out the attack, was supposed to have gotten rid of all its chemical weapons in 2014. A year earlier, President Obama said Syria had crossed a “red line” by allegedly using sarin gas near Damascus and Aleppo, killing at least 100 to 150 people. But rather than take military action, Obama agreed to a Russian deal to dismantle...

The great investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, in two previous articles in the London Review of Books («Whose Sarin?» and «The Red Line and the Rat Line») has reported that the Obama Administration falsely blamed the government of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad for the sarin gas attack that Obama was trying to use as an excuse to invade Syria; and Hersh pointed to a report from British intelligence saying that the sarin that was used didn’t come from Assad’s stockpiles. Hersh also said that a secret agreement in 2012 was reached between the Obama Administration and the leaders of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, to set...

A scandal of historic and monumental proportions began with a tweet just over one month ago. "Terrible,” President Trump wrote on March 4. “Just found out that Obama had (ph) 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!" That tweet sent the mainstream, alt-left, hate-Trump media into an all- out frenzy. For the next several days, instead of investigating the president's serious claim, they mocked, ridiculed and bashed the president.

Despite being humiliated by backing down on his pledge to initiate military action against Syria if they used chemical weapons, Democrats celebrated the removal of WMD from Syria by Russia as a triumph for President Obama. What do you suppose they're thinking today, following the largest poison gas attack by Syria against civilians last week?

On Thursday’s Breitbart News Daily, SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam asked John Bolton about allegations that former National Security Adviser Susan Rice abused intelligence resources to spy on President Obama’s political opponents, including Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. “I think she absolutely deserves the opportunity to clear her name, under oath, before several congressional committees,” Bolton responded. “And probably so do a lot of other people in the Obama administration, right up to and including the president.” “You know the famous question that Sen. Howard Baker asked repeatedly during the Watergate hearings: ‘What did the president know, and when did he...

Susan Rice is a liar. We need to establish that as the baseline. She apparently unmasks the names of Americans caught up in surveillance matters, especially if their names rhyme with "bump." Next, Andrew McCarthy (who knows a few things about this) The thing to bear in mind is that the White House does not do investigations. Not criminal investigations, not intelligence investigations. Remember that. And In general, it is the FBI that conducts investigations that bear on American citizens suspected of committing crimes or of acting as agents of foreign powers. In the matter of alleged Russian meddling, the...

The media’s ministry of “truth” strains to sanitize spying on Trump.The English author George Orwell wrote that “political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” But even Orwell couldn’t have imagined the propagandistic whoppers that American journalists would mouth in their frenzied attempt to sanitize Obama’s spying on Trump. Again and again, Obama’s ministry of propaganda, with its branch offices from CNN to the New York Times to the Washington Post, solemnly instruct Americans that “unmasking is not spying.” That is about as convincing as the...

Why hasn't anyone asked James Clapper, James Comey or Susan Rice why no calls were inadvertently picked up on Hillary Clinton or any of her campaign team? If the government was worried about collusion, wouldn't they listen in on both sides? Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice went to that probing investigative reporter Andrea Mitchell for her only interview. Mitchell asked Rice if the leaking or unmasking was done for political reasons. Rice was offended and she said no one from the Obama Administration would dream of doing that for political reasons. Then Mitchell said did you leak anything and...

...Here's what we can say about the Rice situation at this point. There is precisely zero evidence that Rice used this information — assuming the reports are true — for anything other than her own official purposes or did anything unholy. Unmasking is not leaking, and Rice couldn't have names unmasked without permission from the relevant intelligence agency — a system in place to prevent political abuses. And as President Barack Obama's national security adviser, there could very well have been legitimate reasons for her to ask to unmask individuals in these intelligence reports, which are part of her job....

RUSH: It is fascinating to watch an entire industry disintegrate before our very eyes. So much of what we call the news business is literally eating itself alive and I guess they’re willing to do it. I have never in my life seen such a shocking abandonment of stated principles and objectives on the part of any group that I can recall. Greetings, my friends, and welcome. Great to have you here.

Maybe they are investigating the wrong president. Maybe they should be putting Barack Obama under the microscope instead of Donald Trump. Or maybe both: Trump for alleged connections to Vladimir Putin and the Russians, and Obama for having Trump under surveillance. The swamp people of Washington are practically hysterical over alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election, even though they admit it had no influence on the outcome, nor any signs that Trump had any dealings with the Russians.

It was revealed Monday that President Obama’s national security adviser Susan Rice allegedly ordered the unmasking of the identities of Trump campaign aides who were reportedly being surveilled during the 2016 election. .. 1.

Rice claimed that climate change was responsible for the deadly civil war in Syria. .. 3. Rice once declared that there is “no military solution” to the raging conflict in Yemen. .. 4.

Video LinkAccording to Bolton, Rice had to have a legitimate national security reason to make unmasking, etc. requests of the NSA.And if she gave what sounded like a legitimate reason when her real reason was political, she's in trouble.

The law imposes criminal sanctions on government officials who “engage in electronic surveillance under color of law except as authorized” by statutes and governing regulations implementing those statutes. This same criminal law makes a person “guilty of an offense” if she intentionally “discloses or uses information obtained under color of law by electronic surveillance, knowing or having reason to know that the information was obtained” in a manner “not authorized” by law. According to both FBI Director Comey and NSA Director Clapper, no warrant ever authorized the intercepts and electronic surveillance on a member of Trump’s team. Susan Rice, and...

House Intel Dem: If Flynn Was Unmasked, It Would Have To Be Rice Who Did It

Forget G. Gordon Liddy and the White House plumbers of Watergate days. If you're looking for a my-president-right-or-wrong apparatchik in the grand tradition of the Soviet Union, willing to do anything for her leader, look no further than former national security adviser Susan Elizabeth Rice. Rice, who evidently exploited the world's most technically advanced intelligence agency, the NSA, for similar purposes (spying on the opposition), has made Liddy et al seem like primitives. Apparently, the former Obama adviser was the one who "requested to unmask the names of Trump transition officials caught up in surveillance." The final unmaskings took place...

Last night we reported on Mike Cernovich’s breaking story that it was former National Security Advisor under Obama, Susan ‘Benghazi’ Rice who unmasked Trump and his private associates during surveillance. Fox News is reporting that the unmasked names of private citizens were spread to many different agencies and given to James Clapper, John Brennan and Ben Rhodes.

It is being reported that former National Security Advisor, Susan Rice was behind the ‘unmasking’ of Trump and his private associates. Reminder: Susan Rice said back in 2016 that there are too many white people in important national security posts. Lovely! Via Fox News: U.S. National Security Advisor Susan Rice said Wednesday that there are too many white people in important national security posts. Rice made the comments during her commencement address at Florida International University, saying that a lack of diversity in the those positions puts our country at risk, because they all think alike. Referring to the criticism...

Damning New Evidence: Obama Surveilled Trump BEFORE Prez Nom & Comey BURIED Evidence Radar has obtained the explosive documents sent to the U.S. Congress. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is covering up a massive “wiretapping” conspiracy — and one that did target President Donald Trump — conducted by spies acting on Barack Obama’s orders! That’s the bombshell claim of NSA/CIA contractor-turned-whistle blower Dennis Montgomery, 63, who — like Edward Snowden after him — spirited 47 hard drives and 600 million-plus documents, many classified, from America’s top spy agencies. “Those documents have been buried in (FBI Director James) Comey‘s files for...

Multiple sources tell Fox News that Susan Rice, former national security adviser under then-President Barack Obama, requested to unmask the names of Trump transition officials caught up in surveillance. The unmasked names, of people associated with Donald Trump, were then sent to all those at the National Security Council, some at the Defense Department, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and then-CIA Director John Brennan – essentially, the officials at the top, including former Rice deputy Ben Rhodes. *snip* Nunes has faced criticism from Democrats for viewing pertinent documents on White House grounds and announcing their contents to the press....
