Reporter: "Senator Rand Paul has called the reports that Susan Rice ordered the unmasking of Trump's associates a "smoking gun", does the President agree with that characterization and what does he think of these reports?"
Spicer: "There is an ongoing investigation, that we have supported, looking into this matter. I will say there is a troubling direction that some of this is going in. But we're going to let this review go on before we jump to [conclusions]."

If she is not the leaker and all she did was unmask, she’s NOT in legal jeopardy of any kind.
Unless/until the leaker is found. Then there is enormous leverage the DOJ can bring to get the leaker to spill the beans on this presumptive conspiracy.
Whodda thunk someone as retarded as Susie Rice would ever be this deep into crimes against Americans. Where the hell was Obama’s “intelligence community” with “too many white people at the top” when Susie Snowflake was committing these crimes?
There is no evidence she did anything illegal, so far.
Unmasking was not illegal even if she did it.
No one will ever be penalized or jailed. Waste of time.
how many times do I have to explain this?
Democrats don’t do anything until
they have the ...excuse... figured-out in advance.

“A troubling direction”
A great, emotion-causing sound bite.
From Hannitys show:
HANNITY: And welcome back to Hannity. So as we told you in the last two segments, according to Sara Carter and John Solomons reporting, Susan Rice, John Brennan and Loretta Lynch were cleared to, quote, request and consume unmasked intelligence reports. So will the mainstream media cover that bombshell?
She only needs to state that the conversations were of “foreign intelligence value” due to oblique discussions about or with Russians.
And she would be in full compliance with the law for the unmasking.
Its currently part of the Senate intelligence committee investigation headed by Nunes.
I will say there is a troubling direction that some of this is going in.
(That wording indicates that theyre going after the bitch in a big way.)
Oh yeah!
“She ILLEGALLY exposed (aka unmasked) the names of American citizens that were caught up in surveillance of foreign nationals “
That is not illegal for somebody in her position. It will be very, very difficult to prove she did it for political reasons...even though everyone knows it’s true.
Trump executed a brilliant pincer movement with the help of Adm. Rogers and Gen. Flynn.
Oh really? Tell me Mr. Smarty Pants, what is fact, what is contrived and what is implied? Not even you Mr. Smarty Pants can give us a precise synopsis of what is fact and what is embellishment of all the crap that has been going on over the past two months........
Go ahead, Mr. Smarty Pants, try........
I think this story just got some LEGS !!
I’m under the impression that the unmasking can only legally occur when there is a national security concern. And, she disseminated the unmasked intelligence to various other intelligence agencies here and abroad. She’s going to have to prove that she gathered that intelligence, disseminated that intelligence, and unmasked those names for purposes of national security, and not for political reasons.
She is in trouble if the unmasking was improper, meaning that there was no national security reason for doing so and was only for political purposes. She will be called before Congress to justify her actions, and she may face a criminal referral to US AG Jeff Sessions.
And don’t forget, Trump is on the trail of the leakers which is a felony. My guess Ben Rhodes will be fingered for leaks to the media.
But there are reports these intercepts had nothing to do with Russia...
This White House should be fitted with a Pussy Hat?
What are you talking about?
It’s possible to come up with at least a dozen bullshit stories that make the unmasking legal.
