What other GOPeers were under the ‘scope?

Did Putin torpedo Heb! ?

... 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...

And all 17 'intelligence' agencies went along with this because they 'were just following orders'? We've got a bigger problem than just the well dressed members of a Chicago Street gang...

Where is ValJar in all of this?

Heavy duty!

Former President Barack Obama’s national security adviser 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. Attorney Joseph diGenova.

“What was produced by the intelligence community at the request of Ms. Rice were detailed spreadsheets of intercepted phone calls with unmasked Trump associates in perfectly legal conversations with individuals,”

The ambiguous language used by Joe diGenova is very frustrating. What is a "detailed spreadsheet?" What does it mean when he says she "ordered" these spreadsheets. In other words, were these things given to Susan Rice pursuant to her order because she said, "give me everything you have concerning telephone calls of Donald Trump and his associates" or did she simply say "I have read accumulated intercepts at random and have discovered some phone calls involving Donald Trump and his associates that relate to Russian hacking of the election and I want you to put them in some order for me"?

In the first instance you have Susan Rice proactively ordering up surveillance data much more likely to be used only for political reasons than for national security reasons concerning the alleged and dubious claims of Russian interference in the election. If she told these cyber spies to vacuum up phone calls concerning Trump and his associates, that is very damning but we do not know what diGenova is trying to say.

We do know that those allegedly in the know have flat-out stated that these intercepts in fact did not relate to Russia and therefore it is much more likely that she was acting proactively.

Looks like somebody overplayed their hand a bit.

Can you imagine if a Republican engaged in something like this?

It appears that Hillary and Obama went on an illegal and unethical fishing expedition in an all-out effort to destroy Donald Trump, and they came up with jack sh!t.

And they were all counting on Hillary winning so that all of this criminality could be swept under the rug. That didn't work out too well either.

By any stretch of the imagination, President Trump has been vindicated on his tweet.

It's like Mark Levin said: this story isn't about the President's tweets. No, it's about illegal surveillance and unmasking fomented by the deep state at the behest of the Hillary campaign, and/or under the auspices of the Obama administration.

This is as dirty and excessive as it gets. Obama's legacy is going down in flames, not just due to the actions of President Trump, but by the breathtaking hubris of President Obama himself. What a disgraceful progressive "hero".

The criminals should be prosecuted and the repudiated Democrat party should be kept out of power for decades to come...

[vigilence]

And still, no one in the media has guts enough to connect the dots back to Obama himself. She was his top National Security adviser! She took the fall for he and HRC for Benghazi! What is the ex-President purportedly doing (besides writing his memoirs) other than leading the opposition to Trump? All the media is still cowed by him because he is black. Is that not racist?

[txrefugee]

Pres. Trump ought to order the heads of ALL the intell departments to the Oval Office tomorrow. Whoever gave approval for this blatant spying on his campaign team should be fired. They had to know this was unethical or they are too stupid to hold such an important position in our government.

[Bodleian_Girl]

Wonder if she sent anything to Podesta?

What did Obama know and when did he know it? #Obamgate #ObamaWatergate2.0 #SurveillanceGate

H Clinton's ego was so bruised the O administration and the media needed to find an excuse to why she lost. To the point of playing the fake Russian collusion card. The fake Russian collusion card as now uncovered their criminal ACTS. Their plan to derail Trump has back fired in epic fashion and the Left Wing media continues to inadvertently drive discussion to Obama's criminal activity.

Rice took her orders from Obama and Valerie Jarret. Period. #WorsethanWatergate #ObamagateisWaterGate 2.0

Seems like the leaks are on the other foot now!

And guess who she was working for.

[Gene Eric]

No difference between spreadsheets, blueprints, or Post-It Notes. And the 200 thousand intelligence agencies to which the info was dispersed...

The bastards thought this through. It was like... coordinated.

[fuzzylogic]

If Republicans don’t get her testifying under the full weight of the law I will be eternally against them.

Somebody’s going to jayul.

Wow. Could you send this avalanche of spillage and spread sheet event to MORNING JOE.

Mika and Joe need a dose of actual breaking news. They are stuck unhinged in an alternative universe of imaginings.

[PLMerite]

Man, those dumbasses were really betting the farm on Hillary pulling it off. I’m surprised something bad hasn’t happened to her...yet.
