Former US Attorney: Susan Rice Ordered Spy Agencies To Produce Detailed Spreadsheets Involving Trump
Richard Pollock Reporter
Former President Barack Obamas 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, diGenova told The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group Monday.
The overheard conversations involved no illegal activity by anybody of the Trump associates, or anyone they were speaking with, diGenova said. In short, the only apparent illegal activity was the unmasking of the people in the calls.
Other official sources with direct knowledge and who requested anonymity confirmed to TheDCNF diGenovas description of surveillance reports Rice ordered one year before the 2016 presidential election.

Never draw to an inside straight...................
They are sooooooo screwed....................
========================================================
(hat tip gregnh) If a name is unmasked we know a lot of information, or lack thereof.
When a name is unmasked detailed records are made and kept.
Who requested the unmasking.
Must be an authorized person by written request.
Request must state a "reason."
Who did the actual unmasking.
The original collector of the name.
Name of the "intelligence agency," who agrees with the "reason!"
When each act occurred.
=====================================================
Ergo, if Rice is on-record as having signed the log to review secure documents, she can neither claim 5A or Exec-Privilege. (hat tip Cletus D. yokel)
Then, there is no reason for Rice to take the 5th when testifying.
I seriously doubt the motive at the time had anything to do with Russia. This was focused spying for political purposes.
One year before the election and before securing the nomination it was very doubtful that Trump would be the nominee. Why was Trump singled out for illegal surveillance at that time? One very plausible explanation is he was not singled out but all the Republican candidates were being targed for illegal surveillance!!
It was SOP for the Dems to snoop wherever they possibly could, the laws be damned. Hillary was a lock...................
That was a sweet night. I watched Fox until it was certain that Trump had won. I then turned to CNN and MSNBC so I could savory their pain. Schadenfreude is good!
There are is still Patriots out there.
If Trump didn’t know he was being spied on the whole time, he would have lost.
We watched PBS that night, Judy Woodruff and Mark Shields. I think they called it for Trump before any of the ABCNNBCBSFOX did. It was solemn, and no commercials. I’ll never forget Judy saying, “....and with that Donald Trump becomes the next President of the United States.”................
The spreadsheetS are only “incidental”.
My favorite youtube’s are the ones featuring the highlights of angst on election night. They still make me smile. Bigly.
WATERGATE
call home
And they shoved watergate in our faces ever since.
Remember?????!!!?!?!
“.Donald better start looking for evidence of a break-in. “
Turning over the stone under the stone!
Even the smartest and shrewdest make mistakes.
Great phrase...
Thanks. A private investigator friend gave me that one.
When will these felons be prosecuted??
It's a keeper.
When Waters said that many laughed at her, I did not.
Neither did I. I knew she was flapping her gums at the wrong time.......................
