BREAKING NEWS! Susan Rice requested unmasking of incoming Trump administration officials.

[Victoria33]

Susan Rice was the National Security Advisor, then Ambassador to the United Nations.  She had security clearance for intelligence and routinely got info. about those who foreign leaders called and those who called foreign leaders or others of intelligence interest.  It was part of her job.  So, it was not unusual for her to have this information.  Certainly Obama had clearance, too, and they undoubtedly talked between themselves about security matters.  We will see if the investigation comes up with something that goes outside their job qualifications and actions.

Levin is covering this now.  Sounds explosive.

Had Adam Housler on now and about to have Eli Lake.

It will be interesting to know what Rice will claim was the 'need to know' the information she specifically requested. Did it have to do with national security at all, or were her reasons strictly political?

Knowing how Obama rolled I think I already know the answer.

[Bigun]

No. That she had the clearance to know the unmasked names, debatably yes. That she had the right to use those unmasked names is an unqualified no.

EXACTLY RIGHT!  She has NO RIGHT what so ever to reveal those names publicly in any fashion.

[Bigun]

I make the observation that the Bloomberg article makes a point of saying that the unmasking was legal.

Unmasking legal. Making them public is decidedly not legal.

Indeed!  Very much so!

I don't expect anything to come of it. Both sides are slinging misinformation and leaks to cover their own butts. Its like watching a war on planet of the apes minus rational humans.

One reason is the name Mike Cernovich. He's the lowlife trash who started the pizzagate conspiracy theory that even Alex Jones has abandoned as false.

Walking out of a business tonight I saw the Commie Scott Pelley running this story on #DirtyRice. This thing is getting legs.

Dems are Masters of Spin. It is good to hold ones breath/nose and take a dive into that muck.

I was guessing they would hold this story as long as possible...good news indeed

You want to put this on Page 1?

Arrest her with a big show of Federal Marshals swarming down on her.   No bail.

I think they held this as long as they could. Now they are going to be falling all over themselves to get the story out so they can claim they were not holding back.

Trump Supporter Labeled ‘Fake News’ By ’60 Minutes’ Beats Everyone To Susan Rice Scoop

Alex Pfeiffer


Mike Cernovich, a journalist who has promoted conspiracy theories and was deemed “fake news” by “60 Minutes,” was the first to break the news that Obama’s former national security advisor Susan Rice made requests to unmask the identities of Trump associates.

Cernovich said in his report Sunday that New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman knew about the Rice requests, and “has chosen to sit on it in an effort to protect the reputation of former President Barack Obama.” A New York Times spokeswoman told The Daily Caller, “Cernovich’s claim regarding Maggie Haberman is 100 percent false.”

Like hell. Maggie got caught with her finger on the scale and everyone knows it.

If SEE BS is running with it you can rest assured the lid is off big time!

Rand Paul Wants Susan Rice Before Congress
by Ian Mason3 Apr 2017

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told reporters Monday afternoon that former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice “ought to testify under oath” after Bloomberg News’s Eli Lake revealed that, during the presidential transition, she deliberately sought to “unmask” President Donald Trump’s associates from intelligence surveillance.
Paul called the reports that Rice made dozens of requests to learn more about the identities of anonymous people thought to be close to the Trump transition team, inadvertently caught on tape during investigations into foreign persons of intelligence interest, “enormous news.”

“If it is allowed, we shouldn’t be allowing it. I don’t think we should discount how big a deal it is that Susan rice was looking at these,” Paul told the assembled reporters.

The Kentucky Senator then cut to the heart of the growing political fight behind what President Trump has called “wiretapping.”

“She needs to be asked, ‘did President Obama ask her to do this?’ I think she ought to testify under oath on this,” Paul opined.

Paul also tried to tie Monday’s revelations about Rice to the slew of leaks on the topic around the time of the handover of the White House. “I think she should be asked under oath, did she reveal it to the Washington Post?” he asked.

I'd like to see her before prison guards.

I'd like to see her before prison guards.

If she has to testify under oath, then that just could happen.

[EC]

EXACTLY RIGHT!  She has NO RIGHT what so ever to reveal those names publicly in any fashion.

Makes me wonder sometimes what people think masking is, my brother. Some poor schulb scribbling out the names then shooting the people who monitored the call before shooting himself? 

People - between 15 and 50 agents of various levels will know or have known each and every one of the names Rice wanted, got, and spilled. Those names were masked because NO ONE WHO KNOWS THEM TALKS ABOUT THEM! Security clearance doesn't come into it. Honor does. Something Rice and the Worm know NOTHING about.

Yeah - I'm pissed.

[Emjay]

I'd like to see her before prison guards.

Me too.  Why was she still in public office after her blatant lying about Bengazi.  Oh, I remember, democrats call that a virtue.

I saw way too much of her on Fox News today.  She does not look worried.

Welcome aboard!  I've been there for a couple of months now!

Most people have NO idea about such things my brother!  And that is probably a good thing!

And BTW:  I want to know who the SOB was that GAVE her the names just because she said she wanted them!

State Department insiders have discussed Susan Rice's role in unmasking names 'for weeks' – and Obama MUST have known – says Trump NATO ambassador pick

    Richard Grenell is expected to be nominated to serve as U.S. NATO ambassador
    He says Susan Rice's role in unmasking Americans' names from classified foreign intelligence reports has been long discussed in State Department circles
    Grenell believes the incidental collection of intel on Americans in Donald Trump's inner circle was weaponized into leaks meant to hurt the Republican
    The former UN mission spokesman says if Rice was at the center of a plot to leak classified intel, former president Barack Obama must have been aware of it
    Grenell first floated Rice's name, along with that of her political deputy Ben Rhodes, as potential culprits ten days ago

The diplomat who is in line to be America's next NATO ambassador said Monday that former National Security Advisor Susan Rice has been suspected 'for weeks' of involvement in an effort to publicly unmask Donald Trump associates whose names appeared in foreign intelligence reports.

And he claimed ten days ago that if Rice and her deputy Ben Rhodes were behind politically motivated leaks of classified intelligence, former president Barack Obama was also in the know.

'Former State Department colleagues of mine have been talking about Susan Rice's role for weeks,' Richard Grenell told DailyMail.com on Monday

'She and her team certainly were hyper-partisan throughout their tenure. It makes sense.'

Somebody please correct me when you see things change.

Fox News headline: UNMASKER UNMASKED
Susan Rice named as intel boss who exposed Team Trump surveillance

CNN: I'm still waiting for their report....

MSNBC: nothing ( Don't expect anything from Rachel Madcow. Joe of the Morning Schmoe? Maybe ....  but still waiting ).

CBS: Susan Rice asked for “unmasking” for national security, source says

ABC: I'm still waiting....

[libertybele]

Definitely agree with Rand on this one.
