What else could they have done? Vote for her?

Everybody has suspected that Susan Rice was sort of a loss-leader. Bambi knew he wouldn’t get her in and was planning on then going with somebody who would have been seen as more objectionable if he hadn’t first presented somebody as awful as Rice. I thought that was his objective.

However, I think this article - suggesting that she will be the new National Security Advisor - has added a very interesting aspect, namely that she would then enjoy Executive Privilege and it would be very hard to question her about anything.

Mind, she doesn’t know anything except what she was told, but that alone would be pretty damaging, since all she was told was a lie.

I was questioning the RINOs not O.

But I wonder why they didnt play coy until she was nominated then bring her down then. That would of hurt O. Or were they scared to be seen questioning her?

This way O got off easy.

I believe that BO’s strong defense, tough guy act, of Rice was all an act. The last thing he wants is for her to be grilled by a committee about Benghazi and that would have happened. They pretended like she was so wonderful and so qualified and even threw in the race card to talk about the evil Republicans that don't think she's qualified. It was all an act and moving her to a position where she can use Executive privilege seals the deal and makes sure that BO, Rice and Clinton won't take the fall for what they did to contribute to the murders. This is highly suspicious and hopefully, Trey Gowdy and the rest will catch on to this.
