Rand Paul Wants Susan Rice Before Congress (Here it comes)
Breitbart ^ | Ian Mason

Posted on 04/03/2017 5:33:23 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told reporters Monday afternoon that former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice “ought to testify under oath” after Bloomberg News’s Eli Lake revealed that, during the presidential transition, she deliberately sought to “unmask” President Donald Trump’s associates from intelligence surveillance.

Paul called the reports that Rice made dozens of requests to learn more about the identities of anonymous people thought to be close to the Trump transition team, inadvertently caught on tape during investigations into foreign persons of intelligence interest, “enormous news.”

“If it is allowed, we shouldn’t be allowing it. I don’t think we should discount how big a deal it is that Susan rice was looking at these,” Paul told the assembled reporters.

The Kentucky Senator then cut to the heart of the growing political fight behind what President Trump has called “wiretapping.”

“She needs to be asked, ‘did President Obama ask her to do this?’ I think she ought to testify under oath on this,” Paul opined.

Paul also tried to tie Monday’s revelations about Rice to the slew of leaks on the topic around the time of the handover of the White House. “I think she should be asked under oath, did she reveal it to the Washington Post?” he asked.

Fifth amendment, state secret, and questions carefully crafted.

What's up with Congress sticking its nose into potentially criminal acts? What legislation does this impact? Hypothetical question, I know the answer. Congressional hearing are conducted for the benefit of individual congressweasels. It's for show.

Nah. NOTHING will happen. Repeat: NOTHING will happen.

There are rules for politicians and there are rules for we the people.

Better get used to it - it will save you an ulcer.

Man if I were Rice I’d be throwing O under the bus....no prosecution for turning him in. She would be more famous then anyone in history if she got a former President convicted.

“Is your name Susan Rice?”
“I don’t recall.”

She was a perfect fit for the cause.
Tell the truth under oath? Never happen.

I’d expect she’d claim privilege repeatedly before Congress.

There’s ugly days ahead. The Dems will fight. Not debate, not argue. Fight. If real illegality can be shown, their party will not recover for many years. They know it, too...

“Ms Rice, did you have access to intelligence data of any kind, be it phone calls, emails, texts, any type of electronically collected intelligence, that had “masked” people in this data?”

“Ms Rice, did you instruct, either verbally or in written or electronic format, anyone to “unmask” the identities of US citizens?”

I had the same thought. It wasn’t only about health care, I wager. (I HOPE they discussed some other issues)

Where are the rest of our illustrious senators and representatives?

Why do we only hear from Rand Paul?

If the shoe were on the the other foot every Democrat would be shouting “bloody murder”.

Rand is on the right path. Maybe it’s the result of the weekend golf lesson.

Ambassador Bolton wants to ask....What did the President know, and when did he know it?

And, he’s NOT talking about President Trump. He’s talking about pResident Ospyin.

I trust Cernovich's input but not as much as I trust the richly rewarded sources of Bloomberg and Fox.

The dam is getting ready to burst...just like Oroville. Whistleblowers are going to emerge from every cypress stump in the swamp.

Ah! Drudge and a half-hour ago Bill O’Reilly and Brit Hume discussed it. Though BOR doesn’t like using anonymous sources, putting it on his prime time show is a huge deal.
