Extremely timely and fascinating thread, well worth reading, even though long. No opinoin, just fact. Note the kill box at the end.... I had forgotten about the change of succession at the DOJ!
Lots of graphics and a youtube, click link to see. [For easier reading I added some punctuation, a bit of spelling]

Let’s take a moment to discuss Ben Rhodes. Ben Rhodes official White House title was Deputy National Security Adviser to the President.
I have a few thoughts i’d like to lay out.
As Dep NSA, Ben Rhodes had a very famous boss. Ben’s immediate supervisor was Obama’s Natl Security Adviser Susan Rice.
Formerly Ambassador to UN Susan Rice.
Susan Rice is famous for all the wrong reasons, starting with pushing a known lie to cover up the terror attack on Americans In Benghazi, the ones Obama admin left to die.
Rice went on TV to blame a youtube video as internal State Dept emails prove they knew it was Al Qaeda.
This report from @SharylAttkisson lays that all out beautifully. It also resulted in the Obama @FBI hacking her computers & illegally spying on her.
Susan Rice moved up in the world when Obama beat Mittens Romney. He promoted her to National Security Adviser & he chose Ben Rhodes as her deputy.

Ben Rhodes appointment. I wonder why he had problems getting a security clearance from an FBI that literally gave them to known threats?
Hacked Emails Suggest FBI Denied Security Clearance for Top Obama National Security Advisor
Emails published by Wikileaks that were purportedly hacked from an account belonging to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta suggest a top national security
Also very interesting is who succeeded Susan Rice at the key post of UN Ambassador- Samantha J Power.

Do you know what Samantha J Power is most famous for?
Allow me to refresh your memory, readers.
Samantha Power sought to unmask Americans on almost daily basis, sources say
Samantha Power, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, was ‘unmasking’ at such a rapid pace in the final months of the Obama administration that she averaged more than one request for ever…
Now that’s profound, & would have certainly alarmed NSA Dir Adm Rogers & NSA IG- there’s *zero* legit reason for Power to be unmasking *any* Americans. Her job had zero need to know for that info.
I have grave doubts about Power honesty, especially under oath, but this is interesting- she claims ‘others’ were unmasking in her name, but her signature is on the docs.
Trey Gowdy: Samantha Power testified that intel officials made ‘unmasking’ requests in her name
House Oversight & Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy said Tuesday that President Obama’s former United Nations ambassador has testified that not all of the “unmasking” requests made in h…
Because Power’ job was directly related to NATSEC matters, she would have also reported to Rhodes & Rice. Interestingly, Rice denied unmasking. Rhodes never commented.
‘Absolutely false’: Top Obama adviser denies she ‘unmasked’ Trump associates for political purposes
Susan Rice said allegations she “unmasked” associates of Donald Trump for political reasons while serving in the Obama administration were “absolutely false.”
https://www.businessinsider.com/susan-rice-unmasking-trump-associates-leaks-2017-4?op=1
Susan Rice was lying. She later admitted to unmasking, but said it was legit, & very limited. Riiiight.
Rice ADMITS unmasking Trump officials over secret UAE meeting
Susan Rice told Congress she ‘unmasked’ the identity of top Trump officials over an undisclosed meeting they had with the prince of the United Arab Emirates.
Susan Rice and Sam Power unmasked HUNDREDS of US Citizens in raw electronic surveillance records, & leaked them all over the intell community & to the press.
Ahem, @genflynn calls..
But Ben Rhodes in the interview he just gave & shared by @LeeSmithDC says he knew nothing, wasnt involved.
YouTube @YouTube

Worth watching this interview with former Obama deputy Ben Rhodes: Investigating Origins of Russia Probe ‘Waste of Time’
In fact, here’s how prevalent the illegal spying was:
Massive excel spreadsheet w thousands & thousands of lines with raw intercept data & unmasked US Persons’ names-
Former US Attorney: Susan Rice Ordered Spy Agencies To Produce ‘Detailed Spreadsheets’ Involving Trump
Susan Rice ordered U.S. spy agencies to produce “detailed spreadsheets” of legal phone calls involving Donald Trump and his aides when he was running for president, according to former U.S.…
These spreadsheets were provided all across the intell community, to media outlets, & congress. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Evelyn Farkhas openly bragged about it on MSNBC:
Right now you’re asking ‘how is this possible?! There are supposed to be safeguards against this!’ Yes there are. All of them ignored because Barack Obama issued an Executive Order suspending them.
Obama Administration Set to Expand Sharing of Data That N.S.A. Intercepts
The change would relax longstanding restrictions on access to the contents of the phone calls and email the security agency vacuums up around the world.
Now, Ben Rhodes claimed the Obama white house did everything by the book & nothing illegal or improper happened. Sound familiar? Back to his boss:
grassley.senate.gov/news/news-rele…
Note that letter is from a committee oversight chair demanding answers. You know why. That was a CYA letter Rice sent to try to legally protect herself knowing shes in criminal trouble.
Its clear the entire National Security team of the Obama White House was deeply involved in spygate before, AND AFTER the 2016 election.
There’s documentation of this. Time stamped, court admissable documentary evidence. This is just one example, note the timestamp/date:
FBI agents’ texts reveal Obama wanted ‘to know everything’ about Hillary probe

Now, if everything was legal, if they were looking at Valid NATSEC threats, why didn’t FBI brief Trump? Why did Obama White House & FBI & DOJ have meeting inauguration eve discussing how to hide it all from Trump?
Why did the Obama White House, by Obama executive order, change order of succession at DOJ just before leaving office?
Executive Order — Providing an Order of Succession Within the Department of Justice
EXECUTIVE ORDER - - - - - - - PROVIDING AN ORDER OF SUCCESSION WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
The incoming Trump admin knew this was to maintain control of DOJ from outside his admin & continue the coup & hide evidence, stand in way of prosecutions. Trump reversed it immediately.
Without fanfare, Trump reverses Obama order on Justice Department succession
President Trump has quietly signed an executive order changing the order of succession in the Department of Justice, reversing an executive order by President Obama signed just last month.
If this was all legal, why did DOJ Natl Security Division head John Carlin quit 1 day after certifying report that no FISA abuse occurred while Adm Rogers was briefing FISA Court on abuse by obama admin?

John Carlin was an Assistant Attorney General – and Head of the Department of Justice’s National Security Division (NSD). On September 27, 2016, Carlin announced his resignation. He formally left the…
If this spying was legal & necessary, why did two key players at FBI discuss hiding their texts from FBI data retention & seek help from FBI IT head to do it?
It’s easy to see the deception, fear, & agitation in Ben Rhodes during the interview. He knows that @JusticeOIG @USAttyHuber @TheJusticeDept AG Barr @nsagov Inspector General, FISA court judges are all looking at everything I outlined.
Ben Rhodes knows all of this. But Ben also knows he played a key part in killing #projectcassandra & illegal action that were part of the Iran Nuclear deal, & so many more crimes.

Its easy to see why Ben Rhodes is panicking.
