Agree.

Absolutely right. Bureaucrats do not go rogue. They are cautious, order following creatures who rigidly obey the chain of command. Going off the reservation means risking your comfortable and secure job with all its perks and benefits as well a future employment prospects. The damage to one’s career and reputation is simply not worth risking.
Government employees follow orders, directions and/or informal approvals from above. They know what their bosses want and exactly how far they can go without seeking more approvals. They NEVER do things on their own.
Obama ordered these things to be done, without question.
And the January 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting is the smoking gun. If dopey Susan Rice had not sent herself that CYA email after the inauguration, we would never have known.
And, while we are on the conspiracy road, why did she not send herself that email from her official account BEFORE the inauguration, or better yet on January 19?
Did she believe Trump was not going to be sworn in, after all? If so, why did she believe that?
She's one who will not require enhanced interrogation to get at the truth.
