Susan Rice unmasking scandal cries out for a grand juryBy Jay Sekulow Published April 05, 2017
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/04/05/susan-rice-unmasking-scandal-cries-out-for-grand-jury.htmlAn independent investigation needs to occur. And a grand jury needs to be impaneled. Lynch, Rice and Evelyn Farkas, a former top Obama Administration defense official who is under also fire for her handling of sensitive intel information and surveillance methods, should be subject to extremely vigorous interrogation.
They all need to answer questions before a grand jury, where there are severe penalties for avoiding the truth.
This surveillance scandal is deeply disturbing, in constitutional as well as political terms. By greatly expanding access to classified information by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, the Obama Administration paved the way for a shadow government to leak that classified information, endangering our national security, in an attempt to undermine President Trump.
The American Center for Law and Justice will continue to dig to get to the truth and will, where appropriate, file additional FOIA requests to get to the bottom of this situation.
Misconduct by federal government officials calculated to subvert the Constitution for their own political and ideological agenda must end now.
Whether this misconduct was accomplished through the unmasking of sensitive information, the dissemination of raw intelligence signals information, or the leaking of classified information by bureaucrats who owe their primary allegiance to the shadow government as opposed to the Constitution, all individuals involved in this effort must be subjected to a vigorous and impartial investigation.
The American people deserve to know the truth about how their government operates and the true reasons for the decisions it makes.
And, individuals who violate our laws must be brought to justice without delay.
