As the Trump-Russia conspiracy express grinds on, a real scandal has been completely covered up by the corrupt mainstream media.
That is that several high-ranking officials in the Obama administration conducted extensive domestic surveillance operations against the campaign of then candidate Donald Trump. It was a gross abuse of power as well as a hijacking of the national security apparatus for political means.
The surveillance was aided by the “unmasking” of names of American citizens in intelligence reports that were widely distributed to political operatives.
One who has been identified as a chief culprit is former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice.
Ms. Rice was scheduled to appear before Congress on Tuesday but her testimony was abruptly canceled with no definite date on when (or IF) she will be questioned set as of this time.

According to the Washington Examiner “Susan Rice’s testimony to House Intelligence committee delayed: Report”:
Susan Rice, former national security advisor under President Barack Obama, is no longer slated to provide testimony to the House Intelligence Committee this Tuesday.
Fox News reported last week that Rice’s testimony was scheduled, and is now reporting “that session has apparently been postponed.”
Her testimony is still expected at a later date.
Rice became the flash point in the debates over leaks about the Trump administration after she was the focal point of a Bloomberg report that said she had requested the “unmasking” of the names of some U.S. citizens who were accidentally caught up in routine surveillance of foreign targets.
As the Russia investigations were in their initial phases, the Trump administration was rocked when the transcript of a surveilled phone call between then-National Security Advisor Mike Flynn and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak was leaked to the press. The leak showed Flynn’s account of the conversation he gave to the administration was not accurate, ultimately leading to his dismissal.
In a statement, Flynn said he had, “inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information” regarding the conversation.
But the issue also raised questions over what seemed to be on its face a leak by someone from within the intelligence community. And the leak seemed to be related to the “unmasking” of the names of people associated with the Trump campaign.
The unmasking issues seemed likely to be part of the questioning Rice would face before the committee.
The committee still has a subpoena to the National Security Agency seeking documents related to Rice’s unmasking activity in 2016.
Ms. Rice and other Obama regime officials are as guilty as hell in what increasingly appears to be a far-reaching and coordinated effort to manufacture a case that Trump was colluding with the Russians.
It’s long past due that Rice and others are made to testify under oath about their role in the real conspiracy.
You could be correct with your theory. However, if it is stated as a fact, source it.
Seems to me, you are really stating an opinion or a theory—not a fact...way to much of that goes on here—if it is an opinion or theory, wonderful—may come to be proven as a fact.
Just state as theory or opinion if cannot substantiate it as fact. Cuts down on misinformation and internet rumors.
