On Wednesday, Kathleen Troia K.T. McFarland, a former national security aide to Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan, claimed that United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice is being promoted to National Security Advisor in order to shield her from congressional scrutiny over her role in the response to the Benghazi attacks.
I figure that was the payback for Benghazi, McFarland said of Rices promotion to NSA on Wednesday. The fact that she carried the administrations water carried it very badly, I might say but carried it.

Obviously, they have a close, personal relationship, noted Fox News Channel anchor Martha MacCallum. Youve stood by me all these years and this is a position where youll be protected, as you say. You wont have to answer questions anymore.
McFarland agreed. She said that Rice, conveniently, no longer has to testify before Congress relating to what she knew about Benghazi and can invoke executive privilege if asked to testify.
In a post on Fox News.com, McFarland repeated her theory. By appointing Rice to NSA job means she can invoke executive privilege and doesnt have to testify on Capitol Hill, she wrote. And she will certainly be a loyal soldier if she is now sitting 40 yards from the Oval Office.

No surprise is there? After all its just Chicago style politcs in your face!
Drag her in front of a special prosecutor, then throw her in jail after she’s convicted. Throw her, Obama & Holder in jail. In fact, someone should stand and try them all for treason. Better to do this sooner than later. Just sayin’.
Cronyism tops competence - who you know and what you have on who is more important than being able to do the job - makes me feel safer......
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
There is no doubt Barry put little Susie Rice in the “security” job to keep her off of the Benghazi hook and keep his chestnuts out of the fire.
She wouldn’t have had to testify anyway.
Republicans aren’t going to call her, nor are they going to get to the bottom of it.
How can he shield her when the incident happened before she was elevated??? Something is wrong with the law if that is the law!
Why didn’t the House Committee’s get her testimony before now?
The whole Fu)?g thing is rigged. It’s all fake outrage from the GOP.
These GOP hacks could not run a real investigation if they tried.
My thoughts on this is how Defense, war, national security is the only thing RINOs McCain and Grahamnesty bark about Obama. They agree with him on most other issues : guns, taxes, amnesty....
But this appointment shows what a failure or scam they are running. Their sole issue with Obama and he pokes them in the eye with this with no repercussions to him. Obama is 100% safe with McCain and Grahamnesty on the beat.
Or maybe it shows the two Defense woof-woofers are just smoke screening it.
Yep. The GOP has no interest in making anyone pay a price. Only to use
as a campaign issue.
I don’t see how she’s protected. Congress wouldn’t be calling her to testify on anything related to her new position.
How nice of Congress to wait for 0bama to make this move. Oh yeah, and Hillary too.. I’m starting to think Congress is in on this sh!t.
Since “security” has become a joke under this regime, she should have a lot of free time to sit around watching YouTube video clips. We sure don’t want that bunch insulting the Islamists again.
It makes no difference. Congress can’t do $hit to her. It will take a special prosecutor and that won’t happen.
But the taxpayers will keep paying the government to enslave them, because they fear their government SERVANTS.
Im with you...It’s flat out Murder....
They could ask her questions under oath.
