.” We know that there was this — there was surveillance of Trump and people close to Donald Trump including some supporters for up to a year before inauguration.”

The Spied on Trump and his team during the entire campaign. Watergate x100. Too bad Trump won’t fight back and our Press won’t care.

“Their bottom line is what whatever Rice did was “probably legal.”

Unmasking for political reasons is probably legal? What Universe do you live in?
I don’t think that’s Steve_Seattle’s opinion. I think he means that’s what her defenders are going to say.

I think that, as National Security Advisor, she does have access to intelligence available to the Executive Branch. And she is one of 3 people in the WH with the authority to “unmask.”

Where do you get that from?

It's Trump who is driving this entire matter, starting with his "wiretapping" tweet.

The surveillance was reportedly NOT Russian related. So what purpose is given for the surveillance in the first place?

This B$tch probably enabled the jihadists to kill Americans at Benghazi with her lies and what she told her idiot Obama to do and not do.

The US was on a slow role with its unionization of federal employees and infestation of liberal careerists...at some point the host (government) begins to die from the parasites feeding off of it. And this death is manifested in the outright corruption and lawlessness of our institutions and public officials. Another reason why the demokkkrats will suffer further erosion in 2018 and 2020 hemorrhaging more of their moderate voters.

Here we go...You can’t use the powers of the government intelligence operations for political purposes and someone just got caught doing it.

This is not the Alt-Right reporting this. This is Bloomberg.


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 intelligence reports were summaries of monitored conversations — primarily between foreign officials discussing the Trump transition, but also in some cases direct contact between members of the Trump team and monitored foreign officials. One U.S. official familiar with the reports said they contained valuable political information on the Trump transition such as whom the Trump team was meeting, the views of Trump associates on foreign policy matters and plans for the incoming administration.
-snip-
Rice did not respond to an email seeking comment on Monday morning.


So on one hand you have a the President Elect’s transition team talking with the Russians (oh the horror. Imagine a new president establishing contact with a country that is a significant player) vs. the other side gathering those conversations for political purposes. Gee, who should I side with on this one?

“Ruh roh. First fake news org to carry this.”

Which means Madame Rice has been nailed and tatooed with her signature on the TopSecret/Sci signature log, which, she had to sign to see the names.

The article tries to make Nunce’s behavior more of an issue than Rice’s. And, of course, tries to make Trump look like a liar.

I did not read it that way. That this is even covered in an MSM publication is big. This is no small development. I share your skepticism with MSM, just think it does not overshadow this time.

“Bitch needs to do time.”

If she rolls over and tells Jeff Sessions that Obama ordered her to do this, and Brennan and Clapper enabled them.

Then, she can be eligible for an ocean view room at Gitmo Shores and her pick of room mates from her Jihadist buddies still there.

Brennan and Clapper don’t get an ocean view cell. They get a general cell with all of their Jihadist buddies, who are hungry for white meat.

I’m sure Obama concocted some national security excuse to surveil some foreigner with plans to “reverse target” Trump and his team.

Of course, but that will not fly. SOme of this surveillance began even before Trump was the nominee. Which means only one thing, Barry Soetoro was surveilling ALL of the GOP candidates.
