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

The Daily Caller ^ | March 3, 2017 | By Richard Pollock

[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. . .

Polls? Please. In this propaganda era reading polls is as helpful as reading tea leaves immersed in mud. Polls were dead wrong during the election season & remain woefully unreliable.

I’m sure sargon can stick up for themselves, but as I also (criticized your post (later on) Let me jump in here to say... thin skinned are we?

If you can’t take criticism, you ARE in the wrong place.

Should we call a “wambulance”?

He knew exactly what he was doing when he issued that tweet, and your inability to credit—or even comprehend—his strategy in doing so does not change that fact...

Exactly correct. Trump reaches over 100 million followers with his various types of social media, and bypasses the eneMedia while directing the narrative. Nothing is left to chance, nothing.Anyone who thinks that Trump doesn't know exactly what he is doing needs to re think how Trump gets things done.

I like him just the way he is.

Most of his base agrees with you 100%. It was Trump himself who said he could commit murder on Fifth Avenue and still be popular, or words to that effect.

The problem is he was elected with his base and about 70,000 votes divided among four rustbelt states. His base is now been reduced from 43% which elected him to somewhere in the 30% bracket.

I am not asking Trump to drink his tea with his pinky in the air, I am asking him to have have his tweets vetted before he crashes into cyberspace at 5 AM.

I know you mean well, but you do not, as yet, appear to understand the genius in his “impulsive tweets.”

Just as Nate Silver always used a brief associated dip in poll numbers as a sign that “Trump has lost,” you now take that baton and done the same.

At least Mr. Silver, after proclaiming Trump's doom seven times, states he has learned his lesson.

“Obama, true to form, is never near when these things happen.”
He wasn’t even present for his own birth!

As a PROUD “birther”, I almost blew coffee all over my laptop! VERY funny!

The MSM are obsessed with stopping Trump’s tweets, which Trump claims reaches 100 million thru various social media outlets. The MSM hate the fact that Trump can speak directly to the people without going thru their filter and they are forced to cover them.

Trump should not stop tweeting and using social media. Gravitas? You are living in the past. Print media is dying. Technology is changing the way we communicate.

“I tawt I taw a Pussy Hat. /Tweety bird> “

deserves repeating

[nathanbedford]

If I were thin-skinned I would join Trump's amen chorus and reap love from every corner of Free Republic. I am not interested in winning a popularity contest, I am here to persuade and be persuaded. My objection is not to people who take me on for misstating facts or for miscarriage of reason, my objection is to people who instead resort to ad hominem attacks to kill the messenger.

[COUNTrecount]

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

Trump currently reaches over 100 million followers of his various social media accounts, who would never hear anything close to the truth from the eneMedia.I agree with your statement,it is a brilliant way to command the dialogue.

[nathanbedford]

Are you unaware that I had never advocated Trump stopped tweeting?

Are you asserting that because of this new technology people do not want gravitas in their president, they do not want to feel that their destiny is in serious and sober hands?

I agree with you, Trump should continue to tweet, my objection is that his tweets at five o'clock in the morning on this subject were mishandled and if they had been properly conceived and vetted, he would have succeeded in changing the subject without opening himself to the attacks which undeniably have permitted the left to change the subject from illegal and unconstitutional surveillance to Russia and to Trump's competency.

Tweet on by all means but do so circumspectly when about matters of grave constitutional crisis.

[faucetman]

Yes, as with the Shroud of Turin. I am aware about pollen. Just perhaps, you missed the /s tag?

[COUNTrecount]

You still believe the “polls”?

Which “polls”, the ones that had Hillary winning?

[faucetman]

You see, that wouldn’t be “Trump”, that would be “YOU”.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Where is the f’ing outrage from the Reps?

Obama tapped all of their phones too. And their darkest secrets are FAR worse than Trump's.

[Pravious]

NONSENSE!

You people just don’t get it!

Trump is the “WHOLE PACKAGE”. He wouldn’t be “Trump” without the Tweets. He wouldn’t be Trump without the “inartful” language. “Believe Me!”

I don’t want to “change” Trump, like so many of you do. I like him just the way he is. A little off color, a little brash, a little impetuous, a little unrefined..... wait, okay, maybe “a LOT” of those things.

SO WHAT? He got to be PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES being that way. (in spite of the ENTIRE government, press, pollsters, FAKE news media, and Republicans being out to GET him. (at least he had the Russians /s)

He’s “REAL”!

For you snobs, that means “authentic”.

I agree. I was originally hoping he would stop tweeting - now I see it for what it is... a way to go directly to the people in real-time, over the heads of the propaganda media. If every tweet hasn’t been pre-written, pre-approved and sanitized... well, so be it. You’re right. This is the guy we elected. If we had wanted a business-as-usual, scumbag politician who only says things when the polls say it’s okay we would have elected one.

[LS]

Very nice way of putting it.

[GOPJ]

Yuge smoke for cover.

The press is guilty too... they're accomplishes.

[fivecatsandadog]

Obama’s orders. Not saying Rice isn’t innocent, but she wasn’t autonomous. Need to look at Obama’s meeting schedule for that period. The whole lot of that crowd needs to be investigated.

RE: Where is Valjar?

I think she's still manning the main listening post in Obama’s DC house. Why else would she be there? Maybe sending little “reminders” to certain officials that if they talk/take action, their little secrets will get leaked.
