WAS MCMASTER PROTECTING THE TRUMP SURVEILLANCE PLOT?
FrontPage Magazine ^ | August 3, 2017 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 08/03/2017 6:30:01 PM PDT by george76

Sara Carter at Axios broke the story that McMaster, the NCS's master of disaster, had written a letter protecting Susan Rice's access to classified information

...

Why does Susan Rice, who is alleged to have participated in the Obama eavesdropping on Trump people, need access to classified information? What national security purpose is served by it?

The answer given in Carter's article is that it's an effort to provide cover for Susan Rice over the unmasking allegations.

In a June tweet, Trump called the revelation that Rice and other Obama senior officials were unmasking members of his team the “big story… the ‘unmasking and surveillance' that took place during the Obama administration.”

“Basically, this letter which was signed in the last week of April undercuts the president’s assertion that Susan Rice’s unmasking activity was inappropriate. In essence, anybody who committed a violation as she did would not be given access to classified information,” said a senior West Wing official, who was shown the document by Circa and verified its authenticity. “In fact, they would have their security clearance and right to 'need-to-know' stripped.”

“The point is, is that it lowers the bar for her,”

...

Why indeed would McMaster feel the need to go out of his way to provide cover for Rice? Let's pivot to a nugget from the great post by Caroline Glick.

He allows anti-Israel, pro-Muslim Brotherhood, pro-Iran Obama people like Robert Malley to walk around the NSC and tell people what to do and think. He has left Ben (reporters know nothing about foreign policy and I lied to sell them the Iran deal) Rhodes' and Valerie Jarrett's people in place.

...

The best way to protect the Obama surveillance state and its holdovers is by keeping people like McMaster around.

This is all BS. The letter is a bad forgery. No date, etc.

This deal makes Pizzagate well executed.

Seems like there’s been a steady stream of negative leaks painting McMasters as a Deep State NeverTrumper.

Does this square with everyone? IIRC PDT has had some glowing things to say about him. In an age of fake news, I’m increasingly confused.

It appears Trump has trapped McMaster into showing his involvement in the uncovering crimes.

McMaster should be charged with treason for giving top secret clearance to an obvious law breaker. It could be dragged out for years.

McMaster was recommended by Traitor McCain. That’s all we need to know. McMaster is a swamp creature. Gen Flynn was hit by the deep state and he has to quickly find someone. Hurried choice; bad choice.

I can’t help but notice the senior Generals and Admirals had no problem carrying water for the kenyan. Trump, OTOH, is a different story.

My problem is too many red flag issues with McMaster. Deference to Obama holdovers, Anti-Israel, firing Trumpers, not releasing Iran side deal info, etc.

Now the Never Trumpers at National Review are rushing to McMaster’s defense.

I might give him a pass on one issue but there is too much going on here. Too much smoke here coming from different sources for there not to be some fire, IMO.

McMaster is an establishment POS. Spin it all however they want, the fact remains the place is lousy with Obama holdovers, he gave Rice access to classified info she already got illegally. He likes the Islamic world. He wants a wider war in Syria, he wants strife and confrontation with Russia. He wants no wall. He wants another troop surge in Afghanistan. And I haven’t seen him defend Trump even once,...ever.

This week a DEA leader criticized thr President to his people, and an Admiral in the USCG flipped Trump the finger. All the big bad generals were silent.

Not a word. McMaster is the exact opposite of Flynn. And he came in with the exact opposite agenda. I see him as the same as Pence. A GOPe placeholder there to moderate and control Trump till he can get replaced.

McMaster is bad, bad news. Most of all Trump needs people loyal to him right now, IMO. I don’t care if they are a liberal and an ahole like Scaramucci. He needs Trumpers who are fighters. Not beltway climbing careerists looking out for themselves 24/7/365.

IMO, Trump is giving McMaster a lot of rope because he has no desire to get in the weeds on foreign policy. His background is business. He wants to focus on the economy and jobs, jobs, jobs.
