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

These Obama officials all have/had security clearances.  Their clearance could be taken away on this basis for LIFE.  Also, in the 'prisoners dilemma' scenario, they could all turn against each other....

THAT is admissible in court.

The Dems have overplayed their hands. Regardless of this  latest, enough straws are being put on the camel's back. It's going to break.

Susan Rice: When the White House twists the truth, we are all less safe. Why veracity matters to our security.

Top Obama Adviser Sought Names of Trump Associates in Intel

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-04-03/top-obama-adviser-sought-names-of-trump-associates-in-intel

By
Eli Lake

White House lawyers last month discovered that the former national security adviser Susan Rice requested the identities of U.S. persons in raw intelligence reports on dozens of occasions that connect to the Donald Trump transition and campaign, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

The pattern of Rice's requests was discovered in a National Security Council review of the government's policy on "unmasking" the identities of individuals in the U.S. who are not targets of electronic eavesdropping, but whose communications are collected incidentally. Normally those names are redacted from summaries of monitored conversations and appear in reports as something like "U.S. Person One."

The National Security Council's senior director for intelligence, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, was conducting the review, according to two U.S. officials who spoke with Bloomberg View on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly. In February Cohen-Watnick discovered Rice's multiple requests to unmask U.S. persons in intelligence reports that related to Trump transition activities. He brought this to the attention of the White House General Counsel's office, who reviewed more of Rice's requests and instructed him to end his own research into the unmasking policy.

[LonestarDream]

Mike Cernovich was right last night.  He broke this story.


THAT along with Trump's tweets and Fox news FORCED Bloomberg to publish this story.

BLOOMBERG DID NOT PUBLISH THIS STORY OUT OF THE 'GOODNESS" of their hearts.

@Weird Tolkienish Figure

In light of the initial naming that you commented on last night, you will surely want to see this.

He will claim there are 'unnamed' sources and that the publisher, Bloomberg is unreliable .

Unmasking Susan Rice and her NSC dead-enders
By Monica Showalter

Journalist and activist Mike Cernovich reports that former White House national security adviser Susan Rice obtained intelligence reports showing the identities of innocent Americans who incidentally spoke to foreign officials under security sweeps for spying or intelligence activities.  Under U.S. law, U.S. persons are protected from such disclosure, which could be dry cleaners asking envoys to pick up their laundry or wrong number phone messages spilling their guts about their mothers-in-law.  If such U.S. persons get swept up in surveillance, they are protected.  But only if they remain "masked," which is the law of the land.

So cuckovich is still the main source for this?

[LonestarDream]

From Bloomberg:

Rice's requests to unmask the names of Trump transition officials does not vindicate Trump's own tweets from March 4 in which he accused Obama of illegally tapping Trump Tower. There remains no evidence to support that claim.


Me.  Yes it does vindicate Trump.  Yes it does.

Even when outed, Bloomberg has to show its true colors.

Fox News just reported the Eli Lake story....

Read article. Does Eli Lake ring a bell?

 Cernovich blew out Boomberg.

Notice that the NYT , which also had the story , HAS STILL NOT PUBLISHED.

Pure evil.  Lying by Omission .

Wasnt he a Clintonoid?  Somewhere in the defense dept?

[LonestarDream]

The White House counsel's office disclosed these logs to House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes, who has been as responsible a steward of America's secrets as anyone (and said nothing).  But it would mean that Rice has to have been responsible for the illegal leaking to the press of the legitimate activities of people like her NSC successor, Mike Flynn, for political rather than national security purposes.  This would be true whether she did it herself or dispatched a flunky like fellow NSC official Ben Rhodes or Joe Biden's NSC man Colin Kahl to execute the dirty-tricks skullduggery.

I don't think so

I understand that whomever unmasked these names was breaking the law. But how does this prove that Trump's phones were tapped? Surely this isn't the evidence of that? There has to be more?

Eli Lake says it was Susan Rice who unmasked the names…

The Clinton guy was Anthony Lake.  Wonder if there is any relation.
