Not sure that members really understand how serious this situation is.
IF ONLY IT were *MERELY* Trump Tower being 'wiretapped'
@LonestarDream My memory of Benghazi is that Ben Rhodes ran point on the admin reactions in the immediate aftermath and it was he who suggested that Rice do the Sunday shows.

Why Susan Rice, Not Hillary Clinton, Took the Fall for BenghaziJune 28, 2016 7:22 PM EDT

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-06-28/why-susan-rice-not-hillary-clinton-took-the-fall-for-benghaziLet's start with Rice. According to testimony from Rhodes, she was his third choice to go on the Sunday shows. Initially he tried Clinton, who did not respond, and then Tom Donilon, who was Obama's national security adviser. Rhodes told the committee that neither of them did the Sunday shows often.
Rice was not well-prepared for this task. Not only was she not a participant in the senior-level meetings to respond to the Benghazi attack, she wasn't even briefed by an intelligence analyst before appearing on the Sunday shows. She told the select committee that she was unaware at the time that the CIA maintained an annex at the Benghazi compound. Rhodes and senior Obama adviser David Plouffe briefed Rice instead.

Conclusion I draw that Susan Rice was and is a useful tool. She does what she is told to do. If she has a decent lawyer, she knows that she is vulnerable to, at the least, aiding and abetting conspiracy and an accessory to revealing classified material. She needs to run, not walk to the DOJ and tell them, "Ben told me to." and get her some immunity.
From the time that Flynn got hosed, I saw Ben Rhodes' greasy fingers in this, based on both Benghazi and his Iran "echo chamber" and his confidence in his own ability to play the msm like a fiddle..."...they know nothing."
