Susan Rice implies that Trump and his aides were an imminent theat to the US
Flopping Aces ^ | 04-05-17 | DrJohn

Susan Rice is a liar. We need to establish that as the baseline. She apparently unmasks the names of Americans caught up in surveillance matters, especially if their names rhyme with "bump."

Next, Andrew McCarthy (who knows a few things about this)

The thing to bear in mind is that the White House does not do investigations. Not criminal investigations, not intelligence investigations. Remember that.
And
In general, it is the FBI that conducts investigations that bear on American citizens suspected of committing crimes or of acting as agents of foreign powers. In the matter of alleged Russian meddling, the investigative camp also includes the CIA and the NSA. All three agencies conducted a probe and issued a joint report in January. That was after Obama, despite having previously acknowledged that the Russian activity was inconsequential, suddenly made a great show of ordering an inquiry and issuing sanctions.

Consequently, if unmasking was relevant to the Russia investigation, it would have been done by those three agencies. And if it had been critical to know the identities of Americans caught up in other foreign intelligence efforts, the agencies that collect the information and conduct investigations would have unmasked it. Because they are the agencies that collect and refine intelligence “products” for the rest of the “intelligence community,” they are responsible for any unmasking; and they do it under “minimization” standards that FBI Director James Comey, in recent congressional testimony, described as “obsessive” in their determination to protect the identities and privacy of Americans. Understand: There would have been no intelligence need for Susan Rice to ask for identities to be unmasked. If there had been a real need to reveal the identities — an intelligence need based on American interests — the unmasking would have been done by the investigating agencies.

So why would Rice need to unmask Americans identities if the other agencies did not? Let's go to Rice:
Let me explain how this works. I was the National Security Advisor. My job is to protect the American people and the security of our country. That's the same as the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the CIA director. And every morning, to enable us to do that, we received from the intelligence community a compilation of intelligence reports that the IC, the intelligence community, has selected for us on a daily basis to give us the best information as to what's going on around the world.
She's a political appointee. A dishonest one at that. Someone needs to explain how her judgment is more finely honed than the NSA or the CIA. Neither agency found it necessary to unmask Trump, his family and his aides.

But she did.  And it had nothing to do with Russia. So what was the justification? Apparently she thinks Trump is going to bomb America:

But let's say there was a conversation between two foreigners about a conversation they were having with an American, who was proposing to sell to them high-tech bomb making equipment. Now, if that came to me as National Security Advisor, it would matter enormously. Is this some kook sitting in his living room communicating via the internet, offering to sell something he doesn't have? Or is it a serious person or company or entity with the ability to provide that technology perhaps to an adversary? That would be an example of a case where knowing who the U.S. person was, was necessary to assess the information.

So when that occurred, what I would do, or what any official would do, is to ask their briefer whether the intelligence committee would go through its process -- and there's a long-standing, established process -- to decide whether that information as to who the identity of the U.S. person was could be provided to me. So they'd take that question back, they'd put it through a process, and the intelligence community made the determination as to whether or not the identity of that American individual could be provided to me.

She is implying that Trump wanted to bomb the US or sell bomb technology to a foreign entity.

Heady stuff. Then she states:

The crime is easy, Violation of Civil Rights under Color of law and conspiracy. She conspired with others to violate Donald Trump and other’s 4th amendment rights. That is an easy charge to prove and hard to defend against.

The fact is- rice and obama were not dumb- they were very very sneaky, And they have very very sneaky scummy lawyers advising them the whole way on how to avoid being directly implicated in anything- They very likely covered their tracks pretty thoroughly- But we’ll see how thoroughly soon- hopefully this gets exposed wide open-

So true and so predictable with the rats. We are at war with them, so let's get in the ring and may the winner take all.

Make them go through the hearings, House and Senate, have the FBI and Sessions investigate to the hilt. Expect Rogers at NSA to do his own investigation. Grab the news cycle every day. We have to fight this like it's war - which it is, for the soul of our Republic. Make the public thoroughly understand how sneaky and pathetic they are. . always skirting the illegal, always plausible denial, always, "I don't recall, always some slick legal obfuscation, . . as we're looking ahead to 2018.

The public should know this after all the shenanigans with the Clintons over the years, but hey, a little more education won't hurt.

[[so let’s get in the ring and may the winner take all.]]

Oh i absolutely agree- put the most brilliant legal minds on this issue and really hammer the liberals with everything we have- legally-

[[Make the public thoroughly understand how sneaky and pathetic they are.]]

Amen- Absolutely- Many independents, who mostly get their news from the msm, went for trump this year- in order to keep them- we need to make them understand the truth- expose the left to them like they’ve never had the left exposed before- Make them understand that their choice in news networks was failing them miserably-

Trump should keep doing segments on Fox- just because independents would tune into fox, to hear him speak, and then perhaps stick around for a few shows just to check fox out- and hopefully get exposure to the truth-

Also another brilliant strategy would be for president trump to help the black community as much as possible- give them hope again- turn them from democrat to republican, or at least independents- as they also get exposed to the truth-

IF President Trump can accomplish this- we may very well hold the presidency for a good long time- Like you say, we’re in a war with the left- and they will stop at nothing to fight us- we need to do the same- and maybe, just maybe, if the left lose the whitehouse for 2 decades or better, they will reassess why they lost it for so long and actually begin to work with republicans instead of fighting all the time- in an effort to re-image their party-

[[This has to be thoroughly investigated and the laws tightened]]

I agree fully- You’d think that brilliant lawyers would have forseen situations like this happening and would have worked already to ensure that folks like rice couldn’t do these things- but it seems not- hopefully we can prevent this kind of obscurity in the future

Yes, this is really big. Interesting they missed it. At least this notoriety will force them to tighten the laws as we can not let this happen again. Geez. . It makes you wonder if they were doing this from day one in 2009?

I hope you’re right=- I suspect though that it’s going to be tough to prove, legally, that his rights were violated- by claiming ‘need’ for the unmasking, which is a subjective declaration-

Amen to that. Trump does a good job grabbing air time. I still would like to see him do the old Sunday evening fireside chat. I know he does that weekly address, but how many people see or hear that? If he did say, 7:00 pm every Sunday, almost like The Ed Sullivan Show, (now that ages me, : ), where people could count on it, they would tune in. I wonder if FOX would do it? His humanness would really shine through. He could focus on one topic and really zero in on it. People would be discussing it during the week. Talkers, TV time, and the dems would excoriate themselves with the blatant opposition. Water is wet, "No it isn't, blah, blah."

Good question, this would be absolutely huge for fox if they could work something like that in

[[People would be discussing it during the week.]]

nother great point- it would be the subject of watercooler discussions no doubt-

That is why they so stringently support gun control. They are like socialists everywhere and are always just one or a thousand or a million murders away from utopia.

It’s true he was and still is a threat to the U.S., the one Obama was trying very hard to create that is.

I really wish Trump would try the 7 pm Sunday “Hour with America” or some such title on FOX. It’s a win-win all around and certainly would be the talk of the country during the week - the watercooler, etc. Hope some FOX people see this.

Obama and Co. were the only imminent threat to the country. These people are HUGE hypocrites.

This is the ultimate in Jihadi projection.

Keep those lies going, Susan; keep those lies going.

Dig that hole. We know how honest and accurate you were that a YouTube video caused a SPONTANEOUS terrorist attack with all kinds of weapons. Your lies DID help fool the idiots into voting for Obama ONE MORE TIME.

Yes, Susan. You are quite the disinformation whore.

They are crazy in the way of a bizarre religious cult. I think they truly do worship their Satanic god and believe implementing their socialist beliefs is their way to “salvation” . Truly insane and they are not compatible with freedom seeking Christian Americans.

Yes, we have freedom of religion in this country, they are allowed to believe all that if they want, but not to the point that sedition, treason and espionage against American citizens can be overlooked.

I agree with the other poster. If we don’t find the will to prosecute and imprison those whose cult like beliefs cause them to want to tear down America and not only want, but actually act (as in crimes), we are finished.

Pray for our country and the leaders who do worship the one true God and revere Biblical morality. Pray we can set this country on the right path again somehow. And fix the socialist cult indoctrination centers(public schools and universities) while we are at it.

Absolutely. And if they need to start World War IV with the Russkies, that nutcase Ralph Peters will be cheering all the way.

(I lost all respect for him when he went off on Lou Dobbs a couple months ago)
