Susan Rice Abruptly Backs Out of Tuesday Testimony Before House Panel
thegatewaypundit ^ | Cristina Laila

Posted on 07/18/2017 5:34:40 AM PDT by davikkm

Susan Rice will no longer be appearing in front of the House committee on Tuesday to answer questions about her unmasking of Trump and his private associates.

Rice was expected to give a testimony to the House committee probing her unmasking scandal. It has apparently been postponed.

Fox News reports:

Susan Rice is no longer expected to visit Capitol Hill on Tuesday for a meeting with the House committee probing allegations she “unmasked” President Trump associates in Russian meddling probes.

Rice had been expected to face tough questions on her role in the matter while serving as then-President Barack Obama’s national security adviser. Trump alleges Rice may have committed a crime by asking government analysts to disclose the names of his associates documented in intelligence reports.

Fox News was initially told Rice would be giving closed-door testimony Tuesday before the Republican-led House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

But that session has apparently been postponed.

There was a proactive advance coup launched by Obama back right after the 2012 election aimed at whoever won the presidential election in 2016. It’s goal was to maintain control even out of office. It is funded well. Every player has orders. Poor performers are to be terminated.

Subpoena her and interrogate her as a hostile witness. Charge with the crimes we all know she committed before she leaves the hearing room and place her in custody of Capital Police.

"I’m thinking the administration is waiting to see what the Mueller investigation has to say. Wonder why there hasn’t been a leak of some things the Mueller investigation is investigating or finding. "

If Mueller isn't shut down this "investigation" will go on as long as President Trump is in office.

Jeff Sessions needs to resign. The Democrats are investigating the Trump administration from every angle absolutely unimpeded and with no fear of accountability whatsoever. How can we compete when our offence is not even on the field?

Jeff Sessions inaction is beyond unacceptable. It's way past time to ask for the resignation. And for petes sake put someone of known quantity in the AG spot. Rudy G. as AG is the answer to the Democrats criminality.

When are we going to stop blaming the liberal democrats? For crying out Republicans have the White House, the Senate and the House. When is the last time that happened? Blame where the blame really lies. Spineless Republicans! They are so brain washed playing 2nd fiddle to democrats in congress, they have forgotten how to govern, now that they have power.

What is killing the Healthcare bill? Reductions in GROWTH of medicaid. Crying out loud, how many on medicaid vote for Republicans? Why these congress critters want to be loved by media and those who never vote for them?????

If she was subpoenaed then the US Marshalls should be dispatched to arrest her.

3) The MSM is thoroughly corrupt as witnessed by endlessly hearing about Russians while they never, ever investigate, or even mention, unmasking, Susan Rice, the collusion between Loretta Lynch and James Comey. The classified material leaked by Comey or Hillary’s illegal server. The ONLY time the corrupt MSM talks about these issues is to down play them by accusing Republicans of playing politics with these issues.

I think we've had it wrong all along.

We used to believe the 'News' Media was an puppet of the Democrat Party.

It turns out the Democrats are a puppet of the "News" Media party.

Their plan to delay hearings is to first accept the invitation, then back-out at the last minute. Waste time, impede, obstruct, delay, delay, delay.

I'd say Susan is scared ****less. She's got a good idea of the questions she needs to answer. Here's a sampling:

1. When did you request the unmasking, and from which agency?

2. Who in that agency actually did the unmasking? Please provide the written requests you submitted.

3. Once the names were unmasked, did you still believe there was a threat to national security from the named US persons?

4. If so, with whom did you share the information, and what actions were taken to protect America and American citizens?

5. If you did not, then you should not have shared the names with anyone else, so how did the names become known?

6. Why was any of the info detailed here deliberately withheld on the FISA application? (it's a felony to willfully withhold information when applying for a FISA).

<><> If the information found in the ‘incidental’ involvement of any US Person was threatening US Security, and America citizens' safety, why did US security agencies wait for Rice’s request to unmask?

<><> Did Obama issue a secret stand down order?

<><> Why did you on PBS initially deny responsibility for the unmasking?

<><> Why was this threat not unveiled at the time or since? Why now?

Alarmingly, the supposed ‘threat’ identified by Rice was about to be inaugurated as President of the US. Shouldn’t Congress have been notified?

Why did you keep it a secret?

Did you collude w/ the Clintons to sell the intel to a foreign country?

The NSA didn’t unmask the information initially, plus later investigations found NO collusion between Russia and Trump. Seems to be proof-positive that whatever suspicions Obama/Rice/Brennan may have had to justify the unmasking were absolutely wrong, or more likely non-existent.

Susan knows this is not going to go well for her. She was one of Obama's little helpers-----stupid enough to believe he'd have her back at all times. It's not working out that way.

=============================================

Capitol Switchboard 1-866-220-0044

Contact your Representative and Senators---demand these questions blanket the media---and demand Susan Rice answer them.

“Rice, Lynch, and Comey have committed indictable offenses, but the MSM is only interested in overthrowing the duly elected president.”

Al by design. BOTH parties know where the money and the power is and that’s in DC. They will not persecute one of their own if it means more go down and the faucet stops pouring out the money flow. They love to bathe in that position of power and that money.

Goes deeper than what you described. Months or years are lost planning these “hearings”. Then when finally trapped they take the Fifth. Should not be allowed to take the Fifth for doing something illegal on the Gov’t dime. No one ever gets charged. No one ever questions again. The prep disappears with all the Taxpayer money they can acquire.

$6 Billion missing from Hillary’s State Department. No one has looked. We know that because the IG never mentioned looking into same.

For arguments sake, say AG Sessions is working 24/7 on investigating Hillary, Comey, IT Bros, Podesta, Rice, etc... Where are the results? Most of these matters are expired or approaching the Statue of Limitations. Further the FBI is not investigating. Since they are the investigating Authority in these matters, who do you think is conducting the Inquiry? I would not venture a guess at whomever broke into the FBI, took over all Authority and Equipment and vigilantly continues to investigate. At some point who do they submit the info to? It can’t be the DOJ. They don’t have access to the DOJ because they are not really the FBI and have no access.

If Sessions is conducting investigations or Grand Juries, I will admit my faulty questioning of same and commend DOJ for the great job. That will never happen. DOJ is waiting for a purge of Assit. AG’s Then we need new Assit AG’s which Dems will block into infinity. Either way it isn’t going to happen. Hillary & Obama have paid too much to keep this quiet.

Are you an atty? I am not but have two brothers who are and both have told me it takes many, many months to assemle the facts and evidence to even determine IF there is enough to assure at least a probable conviction.

How long has Sessions been AG?

I am not saying I know what is going on. But I know this, there not not been nearly enough time to now say that nothing is going on.

BTTT!

No time for RINO showboats to be re-arranging the deck chairs on a Titanic investigation that goes nowhere.

Electioneering theatrics for us rubes.

They are not committed to a damn thing having to do with justice, but only their next re-election, and have no intention of producing a criminal referral to the Justice Dept., on anyone.

“How can SHE decide she’s not going to testify?”

Because Congress is neither a grand jury nor a Federal court.
