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. . .

By any stretch of the imagination, President Trump has been vindicated on his tweet.

No is entirely too early to claim the application and certainly not by "any stretch of the imagination." It is true, however, that he has moved closer toward vindication as a result of these revelations.

As I said on the very morning when he came out with these tweets at 5 AM, the style of the tweets was extremely ill advised. He has been drubbed unmercifully in the leftist media because his tweet was so ineptly styled. I said then and I say now, he should have consulted with competent attorneys, he should have mobilized the Attorney General, he should have presented his allegations to the public with the full panoply of his office and supported with at least some facts. He left himself open to criticisms for misusing the word "wiretap," for claiming that it occurred in the Trump Tower, and for alleging involvement by Barack Obama himself, without any support then or since then. The tweets were half cocked and the vindication has long since passed the attention span of the public.

That is a pity because it was so easily avoided.

As usual, Mark Levin had it right, the story is about the leaking but Donald Trump's tweets gave the left media the excuses needed to disparage and even ignore Trump except for his tweets and, therefore, the seriousness of the leaking

I hope Trump is vindicated and it looks like he will be but he has lost miles in approval ratings in the meantime because he tweeted before he consulted, all as I argued that morning with you. I never took the position that he had no basis for the claim only that the atmospherics were being mishandled. Perhaps the impulsive tweets can be overcome as revelations of Democrat criminality emerge with every news cycle.

If you are referring to the Podesta emails, wikileaks released the and T_D did a pretty good job combing through them as they were released. I’m sure you can head over there and read the archived threads in case you missed them during the run up to the election.

Good meme!

[TexasCruzin]

YOu notice Rice didn’t release a statement today either or make an appearance to defend herself.

[Political Junkie Too]

Really? You're going to say it's too early to say that Trump is vindicated, after defending your claim that it was early enough to declare Trump's promises as broken?

“Where is ValJar in all of this?”

Does anyone have any doubt that all of this revolved around Valerie Jarrett?

We like to fantasize about Barack Obama being indicted for these abuses, but that will never happen. The widely beloved first-black-president-of- the-United-States™ will never be touched

That magic protection doesn’t apply to ValJar though, even if she was Barry’s handler and the real power behind the scenes. I would love to see this evil woman behind bars, and at this point it could happen.

Detailed spreadsheets!

The crumb trail leads right to the Whitehouse of the Obama Regime, like Trump said it did. I remember how the seditious media was howling with derision "he has no proof!" when Trump tweeted that Obama was spying on him. I knew that in due time something was gonna come out in the wash (again....). It's getting harder and harder by the day for the media to continue to provide cover for the prior cabal.

As shown by the above paragraph, your penchant for second-guessing the President is unparalleled. By the way, the President did put the words in "wires tapped" in quotes.

When President Trump issued that tweet, he immediately changed the Media narrative, and suddenly all the masturbatory reporting about the Russian angle stopped.

The President goaded the Democrats and Media (but I repeat myself) into changing the topic, and now they look like fools for wallowing in their partisan skepticism.

As I've said before, it's fortunate that the President doesn't find it necessary to rely too heavily on the peanut gallery here for suggestions on how to handle these situations with the Media.

Donald Trump seems to have been doing a passable job at this task now for the last year or two—gratuitous hand-wringing notwithstanding. 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...

See my post #83!

? I was pointing out no one responds to the surveillance obfuscation done by the dems and the media. They allege podesta was hacked by the Russians to support trump but it seems no one asks was the info accurate as far as the felonies mentioned in those e mails.

Nanzi P. must have been in the dark, or she has the nerve of a burglar.
About a week ago she was stamping her designer shoe demanding an apology from Prez Trump for tweetng that the rats they were using the apparatus of government for political gain.

...”The larger issue is that we have career government personnel willing to carry out these illegal orders and actions...... Snowden talked about the current technology giving us “turnkey tyranny.” All it takes is an evil leader at the top.”......

Interesting term...”turnkey tyranny” as it does look just that.

I am just stunned all this is actually beginning to be revealed....Obama even stated too that his Pres. Chicago Library's main goal will be for people ‘to obtain citizenship.

All these mayors and judges working together across the nation....this looks a whole lot more like a nationwide coup!

BTW...While looking closer at the Judge in Hawaii who stopped Trumps Temp. restriction on immigrants....I discovered the actual complaint was filed by A Muslim Imam, whose Mosque is financed by N. American Islamic Trust, A Muslim Brotherhood Organization. Curiously Obama arrived there just a couple days beforehand.....not to mention that the 43 page complaint was already set to roll in just 2 hours...I am under the impression all this was staged ahead of time 'outside of Hawaii' and all they did was roll it out.......So where's the operational bases Obama and his team are working out of?????

Muslim Brotherhood is also protecting and working with Obama.

"That protection is now gone, because of the alternate media, social media, and President Trump, who is willing to use it."

It is slightly weakened, but not gone. I don't think the alternate media alone can ever generate critical mass to make a major scandal stick against a Democrat.

"The photo of Obumba and Rice on Drudge right now looks like the are reviewing the spread sheets..."

And Obumba looks like he's doing the Vulcan Mind Meld on himself.

[whistleduck]

That smiling Southerner seems to be totally out of the loop. Nothing but crickets heard as corruption and neer do wells ply their trade on every DC street corner. Government attacks on our Constitution continue. The term citizen has morphed to serf.

Disappointment has been his hallmark thus far. Perhaps the man needs some encouragement courtesy POTUS.
