It's like diplomatic immunity; his people are there, under the federal witness protection program.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told reporters Monday afternoon that former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice “ought to testify under oath” after Bloomberg News’s Eli Lake revealed that, during the presidential transition, she deliberately sought to “unmask” President Donald Trump’s associates from intelligence surveillance.
Paul called the reports that Rice made dozens of requests to learn more about the identities of anonymous people thought to be close to the Trump transition team, inadvertently caught on tape during investigations into foreign persons of intelligence interest, “enormous news.”
“If it is allowed, we shouldn’t be allowing it. I don’t think we should discount how big a deal it is that Susan rice was looking at these,” Paul told the assembled reporters.
The Kentucky Senator then cut to the heart of the growing political fight behind what President Trump has called “wiretapping.”
“She needs to be asked, ‘did President Obama ask her to do this?’ I think she ought to testify under oath on this,” Paul opined.
Paul also tried to tie Monday’s revelations about Rice to the slew of leaks on the topic around the time of the handover of the White House. “I think she should be asked under oath, did she reveal it to the Washington Post?” he asked.

The left will never stop pushing us to the brink of civil war. They are asking for it. Day after day.
One day they are going to get it.
They can give her immunity and the Fifth becomes insignificant and they can follow up the food chain though her testimony. If she lies still perjury, if she still refuses she can be sentenced to a year until the Grand Jury is discharged. Same offer same result another year.
This will not be easy for her to accept.
It's like diplomatic immunity; his people are there, under the federal witness protection program.
Maybe they HAVEN’T been, but they will be NOW. You still haven’t adjusted to the new reality.
Democrats join you in the pretense that this is unimportant, congratulations.
Another one not adjusted to the new reality.
She will testify attorney or no attorney. Check out the Bobby Kennedy-Sam Giancana grudge match for a historical similarity.
They are not involved in this so why so divisive?
Stay on the point. We are discussing fascist intrusion into our government not airing your beefs about McCain. He has lost all control of this it will not have any impact on the confirmation. He has also supported using the nuclear option if necessary.
Complain elsewhere.

I agree with the other posters who are doubtful that any meaningful justice will come out of this. Let’s not forget: THE SWAMP HAS NOT BEEN DRAINED YET. If necessary, we will see any and all manner of legal contortions to protect the perps.
I would imagine that the team that draws up questioning for her involves some legal folk, no?
I dont know.
They wriggled out of the Benghazi tragedy with ease. I think you are right. Damn them to hell.
IT’S OK!!!!
SHE DID NOTHING WRONG.
CBS SAID SO!!!
That should be good enough for us and congress.
I remember someone on FR saying something similar after Benghazi. You may end up being right but it is very long odds.
Only if Hillary doesn’t get the fifth first.

I bet Rice was leaking everything to the Hillary campaign
before the election as well as the Washington Post. These folks are bottom dwellers, the whole lot of them. Send the entire thing to a grand jury to start investigating and prepping indictments.
Some of these people sound as though they WANT nothing to happen, know what I mean?
I’m sick and tired of hopeless defeatism pretending to be realism.
Many sound as though they actually want nothing to happen.
