===========================================
Obama's Jan. 5, 2017 WH meeting with his various flunkies, including Joe Biden, is being showcased as evidence
of Obama's villainous activities to "get Trump." Obama was paranoid about protecting his "scandal-free" administration.
The shocking details of a criminal president flow from an unusual email to herself in which Susan Rice (to be replaced
by Gen Flynn) revealed significant details about the evil cabal.....all of it written on Trump's inauguration day.
=============================================
RICE BEGINS BY EXPOSING THE FRAMEWORK OF THE EVILNESS:
“Pres Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain
if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia,” Rice emailed herself.
When Susan Rice stupidly wrote a memo to herself, she inadvertently confessed to a series of crimes that added the time line and inferences about what the outgoing Obama administration illegally concealed from incoming President Trump and his aides.
Obviously their lack of honesty was a serious issue.......but flipping off established protocol had serious ramifications. This was a “justification memo”......outgoing National Security Advisor Susan Rice needed to explain why there have been multiple false and misleading statements given to the incoming President Trump and his officials.
NOTE After-the-fact memos are rarely a good idea....they reveal things the author never intended——as did Susan Rice in her now-infamous email to herself on Trump’s inauguration day.
============================================
BACKSTORY Pres Obama’s maneuver of January 3, 2017-——his signing of NSA Data-Sharing Order Section 2.3 out of AG Lynch’s office ——is the coupe d’etat to blow out The Deep State. Obama’s original ex/order contains some unusual language particularly the convoluted language WRT “The Strategic Delay of Section 2.3 of Obama’s Executive Order 12333.”
NOTE WELL: Prior to the formal signing of Section 2.3, greater latitude ALREADY existed within the White House in regards to collection of information – especially in relation to the Trump Campaign. However, once signed, Section 2.3 granted broad latitude to inter-agency sharing of information.
But by the time Obama’s new executive order was signed on January 3, 2017, all that information was already in the possession of Obama White House. Thus, Susan Rice’s January 20, 2017 email to herself takes on an even greater significance b/c no one was ever supposed to know about the REAL meaning of Obama’s retroactive actions.....until Rice stupidly laid it all out in an official email.
===================================
Suzan skipped down the Yellowbrick Road, along with the mental midgets of the Obama Administraton that notorious day.
Obama’s FBI, DOJ, ODNI, CIA and intelligence officials flipped a finger at protocol....and even worse ....they were intentionally dishonest with incoming President Trump and key members of his new administration. ump and all of his officials.
NOTE WELL This is not a “CYA” memo, this is a justification memo for use AFTER the Trump-Russia collusion/conspiracy narrative collapsed; if the impeachment effort failed.
Her intellectually facile “By-The-Book” reference -refers to both she and then-President Obama being told by CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, that President Trump was the subject of an active counterintelligence investigation to determine if he was under the influence of the Russian government. But they NEVER told candidate Trump about it.
Even the timing of Rice’s Oz-ish memo, written 15 minutes prior to the end of the Obama administration, is ex-post-facto useful as evidence of the author’s intent.......as Suzan stupidly confesses to a host of crimes.What people miss about Susan Rice and her need to write that last memo is her attempt to craft a record of a ‘COUNTER-INTEL’ operation that was ongoing and that Obama had instructed that everything be done ‘by the book’.
What is significant here is that during a counter-intel investigation, it is permissible to lie, or in official terms ‘to disseminate disinformation’.
As long as the Obama spying was characterized as a counter-intel operation, it was legal to have words and actions left in place that might be discovered as untrue.
In other words, Rice’s final memo was an attempt to carve out a last minute get-out-of-jail pass for all those involved in the spying.
Rice likely foresaw that her successor Gen Flynn, and Congressional hearings might uncover false and perjured statements on the part of persons in the spy operation to which the response would be “So what? It was a Counter-Intel operation.”
This is why it was IMPERATIVE for Barr and Durham to investigate the ORIGINS because if the origins revealed no predicate, no basis, no genuine probable cause for launching a counter-intel operation, then Rice’s feeble stay-out-of-jail memo would fall apart.

Barr may have taken Obama off the list for now, but Comey sure as heck better be prosecuted.

Barr seems very careful with his words, “ to date” hopefully indicating that the imperative investigation is what he/durham are really about and getting to the end game of what did Obama/Biden know that was beyond the “ counter-intel” framework.
Barr may be applying a very legalistic terminology re “ criminal” as this point awaiting whatever comes out, or already knowing and taking some of the “persecution of Obama/Biden” off the table for now.
Trump is very direct in using “ criminal” and hopefully knows the real end game as he strings along the media and Joey... to their demise.
Thanks for your very through, insightful post.
You do an excellent job of background and then summarized key point.
Much appreciated
I think you summarized it well @ post 41
This is a pretty good piece by McCarthy that hones in on the most important part of the Rice memo, which was done posthumously to deflect blame from the White House and place it squarely at the feet of Comey.
It indicates a level of knowledge by Rice as to what was going to happen (the Russian collusion delusion coup attempt) and her concerns that it might not work so they needed to insulate Obama.
Comey is a fool. He pictured himself the hero of this story (as usual) when he will be remembered as the villain. Those above him have plausible deniability as they can deflect to what Comey was telling them. It is the standard DC game. Brennan and Clapper will put it squarely at the feet of Comey.
The only person Comey can try to blame is McCabe and vice versa. However, the conclusion you have in bold above is true. Criminal intelligence investigations are done for the President.....
Speaking of Rice, it is amazing how wrong she was in her Russia vs China calculation in her testimony. Russia behaved recklessly during the Obama administration in part due to the feckless foreign policy and weakness of that administration. Where are they now?
The real threat then and now is playing out before our very eyes. China. Flynn was concerned about China and Rice thought he was dangerously wrong. How did we survive the last administration?
