As President Joe Biden constructs his new administration, individuals from the Obama administration are quietly resurfacing in positions of power. Some of these people are well-known, others lesser so. But they all played critical roles at various times during the Obama administration.
Susan Rice, Obama’s national security adviser and now the “top adviser to the president on domestic policy and related decisions,” has admitted to participating in the unmasking of members of the Trump transition team. Unmasking is the process in which a U.S. citizen’s identity is revealed from collected surveillance.
Initially, Rice publicly denied the allegations, claiming that “I know nothing about this. I was surprised to see reports from [House Intelligence Committee] Chairman [Devin] Nunes on that count today.” Two weeks later, Rice stated that she hadn’t done so for “for any political purposes.” It was later reported that Rice told House investigators that “she unmasked the identities of senior Trump officials to understand why the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates was in New York.”
Rice was also a participant in an early January 2017 meeting with President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, FBI Director James Comey, and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, during which President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn’s call with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak was discussed.
According to a filing in the Flynn legal case, notes from FBI Agent Peter Strzok revealed that “former President Obama, James Comey, Sally Yates, Joe Biden, and apparently Susan Rice discussed the transcripts of Flynn’s calls and how to proceed against him. Mr. Obama himself directed that ‘the right people’ investigate General Flynn.” According to Strzok’s notes, it also appears that “Biden personally raised the idea of the Logan Act” that would initially be used to pursue Flynn.

p
The ENTIRE government had a hand in hobbling Trump, because the ENTIRE government had been corrupted by the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
And every murder or attempted murder of Presidents before him and every stolen ballot...and a zillion other things we could name throughout America’s History.
But, they don’t TEACH History anymore, or it’s whitewashed and sanitized to the point of being unrecognizable.
How I loathe these Anti-American TRAITORS!
ITEM-—Gen Flynn’s third brief made waves b/c it included texts between Obama’s FBI analysts;
ITEM-—the filthy Obama spy apparat knew the Flynn investigations were bogus, but were driven by partisan animus.
ITEM-—One Obama FBI texter confessed they bought “professional liability insurance” b/c their illegal conduct might be exposed.
ITEM-—This could be insurance fraud if the Obama spies falsified insurance apps, omitting their early commission of wrongful acts.
NOTE WELL: Gen Flynn was tapped by Trump to replace Obama’s execrable NSA Susan Rice.......
Gen Flynn would soon be privy too all of Obama’s illegal activities. Flynn had to be removed.
EXCLUSIVE CIRCA 2020 : Obama’s Treasury Dept Spied on Gen Flynn, and the Trump Family, Dec 2015 and well into 2017, Says Whistleblower
The Ohio Star | 18 May 2020 | Neil W. McCabe / FR Posted by Erik Latranyi
Obama’s Treasury Department regularly surveilled retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn’s financial records and transactions beginning in December 2015 and well into 2017, before, during and after when he served at the White House as President Donald Trump’s National Security Director, a former senior Treasury Department official, and veteran of the intelligence community, told the Star Newspapers.
“I started seeing things that were not correct, so I did my own little investigation, because I wanted to make sure what I was seeing was correct” she said. “You never want to draw attention to something if there is not anything there.” The whistleblower said she only saw metadata, that is names and dates when the general’s financial records were accessed. “I never saw what they saw.”
By March 2016, the whistleblower said she and a colleague, who was detailed to Treasury from the intelligence community, became convinced that the surveillance of Flynn was not tied to legitimate criminal or national security concerns, but was straight-up political surveillance among other illegal activity occurring at Treasury.
“When I showed it to her, what she said, ‘Oh, sh%t!’ and I knew right then and there that I was right – this was some shady stuff,” the whistleblower said. “It wasn’t just Flynn,” the whistleblower said. “They were targeting other US citizens, as well.”
Only two names are listed in the whistleblower’s official paperwork, the others must remain sealed, she said.
The second name is Paul J. Manafort Jr., the one-time chairman of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The whistleblower said the most senior staffers of Trump’s 2016 campaign and members of Trump’s family were spied on. (Excerpt) Read more at theohiostar.com ...

The “Members of Congress” being spied upon by Obama could be a goldmine of info.
Betcha good money, Obama was spying on DEMOCRATS.

Susan Rice (in 2020) is reportedly on Joe Biden’s shortlist to be his running mate, and because of this, she’s clearly trying to get ahead of negative stories that are bound to come up should she be selected. The most significant story is the role she played as chief propagandist for the Obama administration after the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S consulate in Benghazi.
[SNIP] In an interview with The Atlantic’s Edward-Isaac Dovere, Rice addressed this liability head on.
Dovere: The Sunday-show appearances around the Benghazi attack have become so much of your public identity. Your mother actually warned you not to do it, and thought Hillary Clinton should have instead. In the end, that became an issue getting in your way to be Obama’s secretary of state, and continues to be an issue Republicans attack you over now.
Rice: She said, “Why you?” And I said, “The White House asked me to do it.” And she’s like, “Well, where’s Hillary?” And I said that she’d been asked, but declined. And I presumed—I hadn’t had this conversation with her—that she had had an extraordinarily draining week, having lost four Americans in an American overseas facility, and all the pain and trauma that that entails for the people of the State Department, for the families, for everybody. But I agreed, as a team player.
And her instinct was, “I smell a rat. You shouldn’t do it.” <>And I said, “Mom, don’t be ridiculous. I’ve done this many times before.” She was absolutely right. (Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com ...
Obama's ex-National Security Adviser Susan Rice is unfit ....because her policy ideas cannot be implemented amid the “kind of threats the United States is facing around the world,” Rep. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., said on Monday.
“I was on the front lines of Susan Rice’s poor judgment, bad policy, she would be bad for our military and dangerous for this country,” the former Green Beret commander told “Fox & Friends.” “I had to lead the search for Bowe Bergdahl, where men died looking for him. He abandoned his unit and then to see Susan Rice declaring him a hero who served with honor and distinction after all of that was just a slap in the face for me and it was a slap in the face for everyone out there looking for him,” Waltz said. Rice, rumored to be on Joe Biden’s running mate short list, is dismissing what she has described as “harping” from Republicans on her role in the Obama administration's response to the 2012 Benghazi terror attack. Rice blasted Republicans for failing to summon any outrage when, "under Donald Trump’s watch," three Americans were killed on a U.S. military base in Pensacola, Fla., last year in a terrorist attack inspired by Al Qaeda.
It appears to be the first foreign-directed terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11 – "because the Defense Department failed to adequately vet the Saudi military personnel who are being trained on that base,” she said in an interview with The Atlantic. “But no investigation, no outrage, not a boo out of congressional Republicans.” Waltz said that Rice would “refuse to call a terrorist a terrorist by calling them an extremist.” “Year after year of cutting the military’s budget, she would move our foreign policy backward, not forward,” Waltz said.

CIRCA 2020 Progressives alarmed by Rice’s vast financial investments
By MARC CAPUTO and CHRISTOPHER CADELAGO / 8/7/20
The multimillionaire Rice (then Biden's VP finalist) bought into the company that owns the Keystone XL pipeline project — and many other Democratic Party villains.
When Susan Rice was under consideration for secretary of state in 2012, she was attacked by environmentalists for holding stock in the controversial Keystone Pipeline XL deal.
Now, with the multimillionaire Rice then in contention to be Joe Biden’s running mate, that investment is again drawing fire from progressives.
They say her extensive past holdings in an array of industries at odds with liberal causes — particularly the Keystone investment — could make her ill-suited to be vice president in a Democratic administration.
It's gonna be a long four years...
Pence had Flynn fired. Always remember that.
“Pence had Flynn fired. Always remember that.”
Trump never had anything approaching a functional Administration. He was stymied at every turn and this is why his legacy was rolled back in about 2 weeks by his successor’s executive orders. I think that was by design — both parties.
Top that off with the fact that once they’ve been recycled back in to gummit, they can use “politics” as their criminal defence when the charges come down.
