From the Post?!?! Wow!
BOTH the crime AND the coverup.
They are trying to pin it solely on Rice. It’s much bigger.
This could be bigger than Bridgegate?
Not to parrot the other comments, but I am absolutely shocked the Washington Post published this article.
Huge.
Yes, they may have broken numerous laws, and have committed numerous felonies, but they had to do it because Donald Trump had won the election.
This is a good time for the agencies to clean house.
Is Rogers the WaPo’s token conservative?
The hunter becomes the hunted.
If we had Real Americans or even Real Statesmen in the Leadership, these people would have been LOCKED UP BY CONGRESS IMMEDIATELY until ALL THE ANSWERS WERE PUBLIC!!!
I highly recommend EVERYONE look up the Hinds Precedents,(Google) it is a Photocopy of the records, so a little hard to read, but WELL worth it!!!
Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions. One has to wonder how a previous Congress might have responded to Alberto Gonzales’s endless recitations of “I do not recall.”
Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR
No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!
CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
Nonsense. Democrats never talked about ill-defined "Russian interference" until after Trump was elected, and have yet to produce anything that is even claimed to be evidence, or to name specific persons, other than boogie-man Trump of course, who might have been involved in whatever vague actions they have not quite claimed to have happened.
Republicans have transcripts and have made calls for Susan Rice and Farkas to explain their very specific statements and actions.
The comments show that they feel the WaPo has brought in a rabid insane right winger. They don’t believe a word of this.
If Trump can’t get through to the enemies who own us right now, we are done without a violent war. Or maybe even with one. Conservatives are correct but we are now in chains. Pray for our nation to be free again.
susan rice- the gift that keeps on giving...
Haman and Mordecai redux
Don’t get excited about this. I have never heard of this commentator. Let them bring out their executives to admit their malfeasance, elitism, and incompetence. Then, maybe celebrate a little.
Or not. Who cares what this rag says?
On with the war.
This guy worked for Reagan and Bush Sr
On whose authority did Rice order the unmasking? Is she empowered to unmask?
Bullsh!t. The "fire" is the series of news stories posted in various media outlets with references to transcripts of intelligence materials with the identities of U.S. citizens unmasked. This is clear evidence of a two-fold crime: (1) leaking classified information, and (2) leaking the identities of U.S. citizens who were identified during surveillance of foreign targets.
What caught the Obama WH was Trump winning the election.. If Hillary had won this would never be ought there. It would have gotten buried just like Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS scandal and so and so on..
