Lot of this confusion is actually due to the lack of Sessions not setting up the investigations. The longer he waits the more destruction of evidence will happen.
Questions for Rice:
1. As Obama's National Security Advisor, when did you request the unmasking, and from which govt agency?
2. Who in that govt agency actually did the unmasking? Please provide the written requests you submitted.
3. Once the names were unmasked, did you and Obama still believe there was a threat to US national security from the named US persons?
4. If so, with whom did you share this crucial information, and what actions were taken by you or Obama to protect America and American citizens?
5. If you or Obama failed to act, then you should not have shared the names with anyone else. So how did the names become known?
6. Was any of the info detailed here deliberately withheld on the FISA application? (it's a felony to willfully withhold information when applying for a FISA).
=====================================
(HAT TIP OMEGATOO)
<><> If the information found in the incidental involvement of any US Person was threatening US Security, and America citizens' safety, why did US security agencies wait for Susan Rices request to unmask?
<><> Did Obama issue a secret stand-down order in the face of putative threats to Americans?
<><> Why did Susan Rice appearing on PBS-TV initially deny responsibility for the unmasking?
<><> Why was this threat not unveiled at the time, nor since? Why now?
<><> Alarmingly, the supposed threat identified by Susan Rice was about to be inaugurated as President of the US. Shouldnt Congress have been notified?
<><>Why did Susan Rice keep it a secret? Maybe she and Obama had "other plans?" W/ the Clintons?
The NSA didnt unmask the information initially, plus later investigations found NO collusion between Russia and Trump. Seems to be proof-positive that whatever suspicions Obama/Rice/Brennan may have had to justify the unmasking were absolutely wrong, or more likely non-existent.
==================================================
That all of this did not make headlines earlier appears to enhance self-serving Obama's more recent fairy tale........ congratulating himself as the person solely responsible for "stopping" a Russian plot.
Does Susan Rice mind Obama throwing her under the bus?
