FLASHBACK: Susan Rice Said ‘I Know Nothing’ About Unmasking of Trump Officials
freebeacon.com ^ | April 3, 2017

Posted on 04/03/2017 11:40:53 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Susan Rice, former President Barack Obama's national security adviser, reportedly requested on several occasions the identities of "masked" U.S. persons in intelligence reports linked to President Trump's transition and campaign. The revelation contradicts Rice's past comments on March 22, when she claimed she knew "nothing" about the intelligence reports.

White House lawyers discovered Rice's dozens of requests last month, during a National Security Council review of the "government's policy on ‘unmasking' the identities of individuals in the U.S. who are not targets of electronic eavesdropping, but whose communications are collected incidentally," Eli Lake of Bloomberg reported Monday, citing U.S. officials.

But Rice, who Newsweek once called Obama's "right-hand woman," denied during a PBS interview last month having any knowledge of the intelligence community's alleged incidental surveillance of Trump's transition team.

The Watergate drip drip drip, so important to Nixon’s fall, had lots of help from Congress and from a dominant media narrative which, while built with facts, may have been constructed to tell a lie.

In this case, Congress is indifferent, the Attorney General has recused himself, there is no deputy AG and no Solicitor General, and the media is committed to a coverup.

Good luck, President Trump. You’re going to need it.

I do not spend much time watching CNN, but yesterday I did click there a few times, and never heard one word about Susan Rice. Complete crickets on the alphabetical networks as well?

How sweet that lefty PBS “unwittingly” helped bring down Rice and probably a lot more of Odunga’s Admin.

“In this case, Congress is indifferent, the Attorney General has recused himself.

I believe you are wrong about Sessions. He took himself out of the game in regards to investigation of any Russian involvement in the election. This has NOTHING to do with the Russians.

...that all change when Reid started changing the rules...ethics got thrown out the window. Insider trading made it possible
for Congresscritters and senators to make millions by just going along with the leadership...get caught?..no problem,we’ll
hold hearings behind close doors *wink wink*
...slap on the wrist. Waters banking scandal, Reid railroad ....the higher up you are the more you can make. Play the game, get appointed to a hearing,make waves,no money for you, following the leadership can be very profitable,do it long enough and know the rules...no jail time for you..

they disgust me and this will be their ruin, I don’t know if what they did was illegal. Many experts are saying it wasn’t. It was just very unusual and wrong.
I would love to be wrong. If someone knows if this is illegal please let me know

Dubya didn’t pardon him but he did commute his prison sentence. He should have pardoned him though. What a farce that whole thing was.

I’m sure she believes she’s not lying. Pol-speak allows one to “maintain a narrative until confronted by new facts”. Different than lying, and better, if you believe that the stupid public will never learn new facts. That’s where her wagon broke... probably once out of 500 ...

I think she just believes there’s no trail back to her. These PhD types rarely grasp digital log-files and how they work. They have an entire listing of her being logged on, and each time she requested a unmasking...that’s recorded in the log-file. It’s a fairly open and shut case if they just stick to the unmasking effort and why her duty required such information.

If I were her....I’d be sitting with a lawyer and discussing what kind of deal I could make and who I might be able to dump information about....to get out of this mess. Awful stupid behavior for someone to get into.

Love the way this playing out.

Yep, and I bet some of the lesser players are aligning the immunity deck chairs behind the scenes. These Dupes best keep an eye over their shoulder. The big players are working on giving them the Seth Rich treatment.

So much for Obama’s claim that the DOJ is independent of the White House and that what happens in the DOJ stays in the DOJ. Rice was not in the DOJ.

The Deep State is furiously destroying the evidence that Obama ordered shared.

As a Demonicrat, Susan Rice steals oxygen and exhales lies.
