The insiders say Susan Rice ordered surveillance of Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign aides as part of a political intelligence operation. She has since gone on the record, numerous times, to deny this allegation.
Let’s take a look at some of the other things Rice has told us and see how they have held up to the test of time:
- Rice claimed that climate change was responsible for the deadly civil war in Syria.
Rice once declared that there is “no military solution” to the raging conflict in Yemen.
Susan Rice said accused deserter Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl served “with honor and distinction.”
Susan Rice was the driving force behind a misinformation campaign about the Sept. 11, 2012, Benghazi terror attacks.
Tuesday, April 4th, 2017, former National Security Adviser Susan Rice once again flatly denied that she sought to improperly “unmask” Trump campaign officials whose conversations were caught on surveillance by U.S. intelligence services. “The allegation is that somehow the Obama administration officials utilized intelligence for political purposes, ” Rice said in an exclusive interview with NBC’s Andrea Mitchell. “That’s absolutely false.”
Rice added that it’s not unusual to request the identities of people caught on intelligence surveillance.
‘I leaked nothing to nobody,’ Susan Rice insists
“There were occasions when I would receive a report in which a U.S. person was referred to, name not provided, just a U.S. person, and sometimes in that context in order to understand the importance of that report, and assess its significance, it was necessary to find out or request the information as to who that U.S. official was,” she said, without going into specifics.
Washington insiders say it’s not a uncommon ploy use the excuse of monitoring a foreign official, when the object is really an American. However, at this time no hard evidence has surfaced to prove Rice was the person who unmasked the American political figures in the phone taps. She had motive, ability and opportunity and there are unnamed sources who say she absolutely was the person responsible, but that is not enough. Hopefully, Congress will sort this out in their probe, because we really need to know. This is a felony crime and it involves an attempt to undermine the President of the United States.
If she leaked “nothing” to “nobody” she leaked something to somebody. I know practiced liars are good at what they do but this is on par with Bill Clinton saying “It depends on what the definition of is, is.”
She told the truth and masked the lie in five words!
(These people are college educated, yes?)
With her Harvard education she knew exactly what she was saying. She just figured, like the rest of her cohorts, we were too “stupid” to understand.
A double negative of “nothing to nobody” means everything to everyone.
“…at this time no hard evidence has surfaced to prove Rice was the person who unmasked the American political figures in the phone taps”
White House logs are not proof?
Funny how the left media lets them get away with this $#*^!
One picture is worth 1000 words. But in this case, only one really applies: LIARS!

Rice also boasted just before Obumble left office that we had successfully eliminated chemical weapons from Syria.
I’m sure those victims of the latest chem weapons attacks in Syria will be happy to know that.
One proven serial liar worked for another proven serial liar.
“Hell yes, Donald Trump was “wiretapped.” So were you, by the way. And me. From open source information shared by defectors the intelligence community was too incompetent to keep from defecting, we know that every single electronic communication we send is collected in the NSA mainframes. Every single one. And the NSA has algorithms they can use to search it. You don’t go plant a bug in Trump Tower. You wiretap the opposition party’s nominee for president by running a search through the communications that the government “incidentally” collected. And if you find something juicy, then you call up your buddy at the Post and hand it over.”

Off topic, but word needs to spread–
“Samsung is making all their devices “smart” – not just phones, but TVs and appliances like dishwashers and the like. All of these will be connected on your home network. They have shipped something like 30 million of these devices, so this is in all kinds of things. You may even have one of these and not know about it.”

The evidence we know about is very compelling, but it falls just short of the threshold to get a conviction. The problem is this, the government must prove beyond a shadow of a doubt…that’s a high bar. We know she requested the information, but we don’t know what she did with it once she got it. And therein is the problem, otherwise we would be seeing an indictment. We need to establish the link between the last government person with their hands on it and the media that received it. I’m betting it was Rice, but obviously we’re not quite there yet.
I am reminded of this movie—

That was a great movie.
the Federalist, “BOMBSHELL: The Obama Spying Scandal Started Long Before Trump,” by Bre Payton:
And from Dr. Sebastian Gorka:
http://www.breitbart.com/video/2017/04/05/gorka-watergate-little-spat-sandbox-compared-susan-rice-unmasking-allegations/
Those of us who lived through Watergate and who have been paying attention to the weaponizing of the IRS, HHS, DOJ, FBI and now the “intelligence” community’s leaking under Obumble are well aware that Mr. Gorka is spot on!
Since this spying of republican candidates started during the primary I want to know if Cruz and the other candidates and their teams were also under surveillance. I hope the committees look beyond Trump since the polls showed him loosing to Hillary, while Cruz and Rubio were higher in most.
Looks like Hannity has been added to the Obama’s attack on the media, like Rosen, Attkisson and the AP. How many others will be uncovered?
BREAKING: CIA Director John Brennan Targeted General Flynn and Sean Hannity For Surveillance:
“Yesterday, we reported on a breaking story by GotNews that Sean Hannity and Blackwater founder, Erik Prince were also spied on and unmasked by the Obama administration.
GotNews has just revealed that it was Obama’s CIA Director, John Brennan who was targeting them and other Trump supporters for surveillance.
Via GotNews:
Barack Obama‘s CIA Director John O. Brennan targeted Trump supporters for enhanced surveillance, intelligence sources confirm to GotNews’ Charles C. Johnson.
The surveillance took place between Trump’s election on November 8 and the inauguration in January, according to White House and House intelligence sources.
The focus was on General Mike Flynn, billionaire Erik Prince, and Fox News host Sean Hannity — all of whom had close ties to Trump before and after the November election and had helped the future president with managing his new diplomatic responsibilities.
Hannity was targeted because of his perceived ties to Julian Assange, say our intelligence sources. Hannity was reportedly unmasked by Susan Rice at Brennan’s behest thanks to his close relationship with Trump and Julian Assange.
Blackwater founder Erik Prince, a former CIA covert asset, has long criticized the CIA’s bloat and incompetence, including the Brennan-run CIA drone program’s failure to properly target terrorists rather than Afghan civilians. Prince has repeatedly called for restructuring the CIA and argued against Brennan’s tenure.
GotNews’ Chuck Johnson went on to explain the feuding history of Brennan and General Flynn…”

Found this related article of interest, especially update #2.
The Inside Story on How Roberts Changed His Supreme Court Vote on Obamacare:
“UPDATE 2: The Volokh Conspiracy lends some insight into the Crawford report. Stewart Baker notes that Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy (D.), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, may have been aware that Roberts was the swing vote, because he gave a notably partisan speech on the Senate Floor directed at Roberts—and not mentioning Kennedy—in mid-May. “I have not seen much devoted to the Chief Justice’s role,” warned Leahy. “Why,” asks Baker, “would the chair of the Judiciary Committee risk the appearance of trying to harshly strongarm the Court when his remarks wouldn’t make the slightest difference?” Could Leahy have had inside information?
Orin Kerr, also at Volokh, makes a persuasive case that Crawford’s sources are not clerks, but actual Supreme Court Justices. “First, law clerks don’t generally chat with Jan Crawford, while several of the Justices have done so publicly. Crawford appears to have particularly good relations with several of the court’s conservative Justices. Here’s Crawford interviewing Justice Thomas, and here’s Crawford interviewing Justice Scalia. Second, a clerk who leaked this and is identified has likely made a career-ending move.”
