Exclusive: Rice told House investigators why she unmasked senior Trump officials
CNN ^ | 13 September 2017 | Manu Raju

Former national security adviser Susan Rice privately told House investigators that she unmasked the identities of senior Trump officials to understand why the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates was in New York late last year, multiple sources told CNN.

The New York meeting preceded a separate effort by the UAE to facilitate a back-channel communication between Russia and the incoming Trump White House. The crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, arrived in New York last December in the transition period before Trump was sworn into office for a meeting with several top Trump officials, including Michael Flynn, the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his top strategist Steve Bannon, sources said.

The Obama administration felt misled by the United Arab Emirates, which had failed to mention that Zayed was coming to the United States even though it's customary for foreign dignitaries to notify the US government about their travels, according to several sources familiar with the matter. Rice, who served as then-President Obama's national security adviser in his second term, told the House Intelligence Committee last week that she requested the names of the Americans mentioned in the classified report be revealed internally, a practice officials in both parties say is common.

Rice's previously undisclosed revelation in a classified setting shines new light on a practice that had come under sharp criticism from the committee chairman, California Rep. Devin Nunes, and President Donald Trump, who previously accused Rice of committing a crime.

At this point who isn’t thinking about registering as a Democrat and robbing banks?

Like a Thousand to One against that happening. We keep forgetting we live in a society where the rules and laws don’t apply to all.

When the law ceases to be a method of achieving justice, other methods will prevail...

...and there's no shortage of lampposts.

Mama always said, “Two wrongs do not make a right.” To attain one right or to right a wrong is not the practice of our elected and unelected. No money from the purchasers of behavior is spent for doing right but plenty of money spent for wrong(s)
