Which law firm has Susan Rice chosen as her designated representative?

As far as I’m concerned, she needs to swing.

What’s going on with Jarrett living with the Obamas and him in Tahiti...for a month? Nothing makes sense.

Working with handlers and meetings with the right people for plans of new operation??.
He’s most dangerous when silent.

Appears the left media is finally surrendering on this.

Isn’t Susan Rice the one that put out the story that Benghazi was the fault of some silly islamic movie? These folks are the king of fake news.

obama was a loser when he had the highest office in the land. Does he think he can do more out of office? He’s certainly a threat.

here's an excerpt from the piece for discussion. looks to me like bloomberg piece is MSM 1st attempt to spin Rice's alleged unmasking as binez as usual/everybody does it:

But Rice's multiple requests to learn the identities of Trump officials discussed in intelligence reports during the transition period does highlight a longstanding concern for civil liberties advocates about U.S. surveillance programs. The standard for senior officials to learn the names of U.S. persons incidentally collected is that it must have some foreign intelligence value, a standard that can apply to almost anything. This suggests Rice's unmasking requests were likely within the law."

so nothing here on distribution or "leaking" of these unmasked individuals in trump administration.

From the Bloomberg View article…..Rice's requests to unmask the names of Trump transition officials does not vindicate Trump's own tweets from March 4 in which he accused Obama of illegally tapping Trump Tower. There remains no evidence to support that claim. But Rice's multiple requests to learn the identities of Trump officials discussed in intelligence reports during the transition period does highlight a longstanding concern for civil liberties advocates about U.S. surveillance programs. The standard for senior officials to learn the names of U.S. persons incidentally collected is that it must have some foreign intelligence value, a standard that can apply to almost anything.

FOR WHAT PURPOSE WERE THE NAMES UNMASKED? Can it be done on a whim?

AND

Trump should send a revised Tweet:

“Let me be more precise, Obama’s “plumbers” utilized a valuable surveillance tool, to “spy” on me and my team. Dirty tricks by sore losers. American people are disgusted.”

“As far as I’m concerned, she needs to swing.”....

“Swing”, right beside Odumbo, Hitlary, the former head of the IRS and a host of other demodummies. The bastards are all crooked and our laws meant/mean NOTHING to any of them, they are ABOVE THE LAW. Unfortunately, we will never see any of them doing time or hanging from a tall tree.

Well, I suppose in that case there are a great many communications between Hillary Clinton and members of her campaign staff that can be legally unmasked and distributed among the political levels of the Trump administration.

For one thing, hiding in Tahiti makes it rather difficult to shoot the bastard. Maybe Jarret’s shacking up with the Mooooooooooooch in his absence.

Of course, I meant “swing” as in wearing a poodle skirt and dancing her little heart out. I’d never advocate her lynching...at least one that didn’t involve a trial, its lawful conduct, verdict and sentencing..... :0)

Makes total sense. Tahiti (French Polynesia) is a French possession, with which the US has no extradition treaty. Even if Barack Hussein Obama/Soetoro/Soebarka was convicted of treason in abstentia, there is no way to bring him home from there. Legally, that is.

It’s disappointing but all of this **makes sense** for a country that has crossed over into the land of Midnight Cash Pallets and Learjet Meetings.

If Bloomberg is reporting this, it could be YUGE.

The entire situation with Valerie Jarrett living with the obamas is bizarre.

Where was she living before moving in with them? Why did she need to move?

What normal adult couples want another adult living with them? What happened to moosechelle’s mother? Is she there too? Bizarre people.
