Washington (CNN)Former national security adviser Susan Rice privately 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 late last year, multiple sources told CNN.

The New York meeting preceded a separate effort by the UAE to facilitate a back-channel communication between Russia and the incoming Trump White House.

The crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, arrived in New York last December in the transition period before Trump was sworn into office for a meeting with several top Trump officials, including Michael Flynn, the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his top strategist Steve Bannon, sources said.

She said they wanted understand why the UAE was meeting with the incoming administration, weeks before her administration was to go away?  Why?  What did she plan to do with the information?

Nothing there has anything to do with the election.

She is probably lying--again.  (Remember the film that supposedly triggered Benghazi?  Where did that scandal of bald-faced lying go?  [When we let political officeholders lie so much, we will never catch them when it really counts. Our Congress is weirdly ineffectual.])

Yes, agreed.  Why the geniuses on the committee didn't ask her that I just don't understand.
