Susan Rice Ordered Spy Agencies To Produce ‘Detailed Spreadsheets’ Involving Trump

[Brad from Tennessee]

Former President Barack Obama’s national security adviser Susan Rice ordered U.S. spy agencies to produce “detailed spreadsheets” of legal phone calls involving Donald Trump and his aides when he was running for president, according to former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova.

“What was produced by the intelligence community at the request of Ms. Rice were detailed spreadsheets of intercepted phone calls with unmasked Trump associates in perfectly legal conversations with individuals,” diGenova told The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group Monday.

“The overheard conversations involved no illegal activity by anybody of the Trump associates, or anyone they were speaking with,” diGenova said. “In short, the only apparent illegal activity was the unmasking of the people in the calls.”

Other knowledgeable official sources with direct knowledge and who requested anonymity confirmed to TheDCNF diGenova’s description of surveillance reports Rice ordered one year before the 2016 presidential election. . .

Ah, I see what you meant now. Funny how that works, isn’t it? I’m convinced that the emails were real, and who knows, maybe they are being investigated now.

Rice asked IC to deliberately cull Trump's phone calls from the metadata. In other words, Trump's communications were targeted for political purposes.

Well put but I do not come to the same conclusion from reading Joe deGenova's words as you do, although that does seem a likely interpretation. I say it is ambiguous.

It is hard to believe that someone with Susan Rice's official responsibilities would have the time to read through what must be tens of thousands of intercepts of foreign conversations and order up those which connect the Trump organization. Far more likely she issued an order that you suggest, "cull Trump's phone calls from the metadata." Since the allegation is that these intercepts that she passed on to a high administration officials did not relate to Russia, it is hard to conceive of a legitimate purpose which she can claim. But who knows?

I just want it unambiguous. I want it so clear that she can be indicted and rolled up.

Oh, no. She will be held to account, because, after all, we are a nation of laws, not men.

LOLOLOLOL...gasp, pant, wheeze.

Where is the outrage from ANYWHERE except here and Mr. Limbaugh? How far we’ve fallen.

[inchworm]

It about Tim “lock her up” gets carried out, either with Rice, Clinton, or both.

[rxsid]

What does one expect from the administration of a damned usurper from day one?!?!

[hecticskeptic]

So many questions... I wonder when the first day of Susan Rice’s unmasking occurred. I wondered when President Trump first found out about it. I’m going to bet he knew before taking office. Makes one wonder (as suggested on another thread tonight) that the surveillance may have started when Trump started going after the birth certificate issue.... that would be so hilarious if that is found to be the case.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Nah, he’s not the least bit concerned because “not even a smidgeon of corruption.”

[LS]

You’re wrong. Trump’s tweet was the ONLY thing that ensured there would be an investigation of snooping vs. an investigation of him.

And once again you’re buying into phoney “approval ratings” by the SAME DAMN PEOPLE WHO MISSED THE ELECTION BY A MILE.

[A CA Guy]

So she what other spy agencies went before congress and lied under oath?

You have been out of the United States for too long.
Your opinions are no longer relevant.

I can’t say “Hang Her!” because of the reflexive knee-jerk SJW calls of “Rayciss” but may I suggest keel-hauling?

It seems like "sedition" when a huge network of operatives conspires, abusing executive branch powers, to undermine a presidential campaign, and then going into all out war abusing judicial branch powers against an elected president.

I have never seen such gangster tactics against the USA from within in my entire life. I think the Russians are way less of a threat to our election process and constitutional government than the aggressive cancer of liberalism

[LS]

Trump’s tweet was sheer brilliance. It TOTALLY turned the entire debate from Trump/Russia to Obama/spying.

I have never in my life seen one single tiny statement so completely destroy and reverse a mainstream media meme as did that.

It would have been a huge mistake to wait or involve others with more “evidence” because of leak factor. And as for “wiretap,” once again Trump communicates to American people in normal language vs priggish “surveiled.”

"I wondered when President Trump first found out about it."

Perhaps around the B.C. timeframe, but certainly sometime last fall...

1.The Intelligence Community -at the direction of President Obama- made a request to a FISA court for the NSA to spy on Donald Trump in June 2016. It was denied.

2.In October the Intelligence Community (NSA) -at the direction of President Obama- made a second request to the FISA court for the NSA to spy on Donald Trump. It was approved.

3.At around the same time (October), as the second request to FISA, (Def Sec) Ash Carter and (DNI) James Clapper tell President Obama to dump NSA Director Mike Rogers.

4.A week after the election, Mike Rogers makes a trip to Trump Tower without telling his superior, James Clapper; which brings about new calls (November media leaks to WaPo) for President Obama to dump Mike Rogers.

"There's a show on Netflix called 'Orange is the New Black' about a women's federal lockup. I'd advise you to watch and take notes."

Wait, what??

I mean, Glenn Beck rolled his face in Cheetos to portray Trump and the left calls him Cheetos Jesus (orange), and Susan Rice is black, and Sessions *is* from Alabama, so, RAYCISS! or something.

...do I REALLY need the sarcasm tag?
