The Rice CYA Memo, Unredacted
National Review ^ | 5/20/2020 | ANDREW C. MCCARTHY

Posted on 05/20/2020 5:22:51 PM PDT by bitt

How amusing to find President Obama’s national-security advisor, Susan Rice, suddenly calling for public release of the Flynn–Kislyak conversation intercepted by the Obama administration in late December 2016. I called for its release nearly three-and-a-half years ago. Dr. Rice, in a familiar pattern for her, has spent the ensuing years saying things that were obviously untrue only to reverse herself once the paper trail starts to dribble out.

Try not to get dizzy. Rice has gone from claiming to have had no knowledge of Obama administration monitoring of Flynn and other Trump associates, to claiming no knowledge of any unmaskings of Trump associates, to admitting she was complicit in the unmaskings, to — now — a call for the recorded conversation between retired general Michael Flynn and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak to be released because it would purportedly show that the Obama administration had good reason to be concerned about Flynn (y’know, the guy she said she had no idea they were investigating).

Naturally, we have now learned that Rice was deeply involved in the Obama administration’s Trump–Russia investigation, including its sub-investigation of Flynn, a top Trump campaign surrogate who was slated to replace Rice as national-security advisor when President Trump took office. Last night, I did a column for Fox News, analyzing the newly unredacted paragraph from Rice’s previously reported email memorializing a White House meeting on these subjects.

The meeting took place on January 5, 2017, and involved Rice, Obama, and Vice President Biden, the administration’s top political hierarchy on national-security matters, along with Obama’s top law-enforcement and counterintelligence officials, deputy attorney general Sally Yates (soon formally to take the acting AG role she was already performing), and FBI director James Comey. Prior redactions had already demonstrated that the meeting’s central purpose was to discuss the rationale for

Does this enhance Rice’s chances for being Biden’s running mate?

It should enhance her chance of having a jail cell just like his.

But that would require a system of justice where everyone is held equally accountable, and that train left the station long ago.

Team Obama is exempt from obeying the law. Just ask Lois Lerner.

All because both parties wanted the natural born citizen protections gutted.
They have had to cover up the crimes of the Kenyanesian Usurpation since Usurpation Day and now find themselves undermining a President of their own party to keep the awful truth from being revealed.

I would much much rather clean up after my dog than even think about Rice.

Actually I had a Golden Doodle who, in the morning outing, would pee for “Pelosi” and poop for “Harry Reed”.

Good thing he didn’t watch the drive by’s.

So we know from this that the illegal spying on the Trump campaign and Russia Hoax was being directed by Obama.

The crimes go to the very top.

#3. Re your question of “Does this enhance Rice’s chances for being Biden’s running mate?”

Maybe the answer lies in the “White on Rice” situation.

She's too stupid to know she's going to take the fall for all those other low-lifes.

She'll know it's over when Bill Clinton calls her.

Obama and Biden will never see prison but Susan Rice might. She’s starting to panic.

I’ve been saying for a while now, the best I hope for with Obama is unindicted co-conspirator.
