Why hasn't anyone asked James Clapper, James Comey or Susan Rice why no calls were inadvertently picked up on Hillary Clinton or any of her campaign team? If the government was worried about collusion, wouldn't they listen in on both sides?
Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice went to that probing investigative reporter Andrea Mitchell for her only interview. Mitchell asked Rice if the leaking or unmasking was done for political reasons. Rice was offended and she said no one from the Obama Administration would dream of doing that for political reasons. Then Mitchell said did you leak anything and the brilliant Rice said I didn't leak nothing on nobody. Andrea then must have thought, I did my job and we know Susan has never lied before.

But Rice had no interest in any possible connections or collusion with Russia from Hillary, Bill or anyone in the Clicton campaign?
This is a very good point. There have been hundreds of examples of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation being involved with shady foreign characters.
True, Hillary had plenty of government assets to sell off for her personal benefit when in power and she indeed did to our detriment. Notice since her fall the Clinton Foundation has received not a nickel.
How about Justice Roberts, is this how they got him to support OC?
All the Republican candidates were surveilled
(1) Is this your signature?
(2) Did you sign this at the direction of someone, or on your own accord?
If she answers those two by pleading the fifth, turn her over to a grand jury. (hat tip hoosiermama)
==================================================
(hat tip gregnh) If a name is unmasked we know a lot of information, or lack thereof.
When a name is unmasked detailed records are made and kept.
• Who requested the unmasking.
• Must be an authorized person by written request.
• Request must state a "reason."
• Who did the actual unmasking.
• The original collector of the name.
• Name of the "intelligence agency," who agrees with the "reason!"
• When each act occurred.
=====================================================
Ergo, if Rice is on-record as having signed the log to review secure documents, she can neither claim 5A or Exec-Privilege. (hat tip Cletus D. yokel)
Nunes made it quite clear that the unmasking had NOTHING to do with Russia, or contact with Russians. They were unmasking Americans talking to each other and, coincidentally, most of the Trump and his team, even after he won the election.
If that’s not political, I’d like to know what is.
The Podesta brother’s were getting money from the Russians but no unmasking or talking about it in the MSM.
Obama Administration spying Trump may prove to be the tip of the iceberg that exposes extensive Obama Admin spying on congress, judges, military leaders, business leaders and political opponents
That is important. There were likely 10's of thousands of such "unmaskings."
Yes.
What about the murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich? Was he being monitored?
What about the UN Official John Ashe, who “accidentally” got his throat crushed right before he was supposed to testify against the Clintons? Was he being monitored?
Exactly......no one I know is convinced that this is a one-time only occurrence.
“As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton okayed the sale of
20% of the nations uranium reserves to a Russian company
after people connected with the company gave $145 million
dollars to the Clinton Foundation.”
“But Rice had no interest in any possible connections or
collusion with Russia from Hillary, Bill or anyone in the
Clinton campaign?”
- quote from Vlad The Inhaler
unmasking was her day to day job
18 US Code § 1801 (h) on rquired minimization procedures subpart (4):
notwithstanding paragraphs (1), (2), and (3), with respect to any electronic surveillance approved pursuant to section 1802(a) of this title, procedures that require that no contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party shall be disclosed, disseminated, or used for any purpose or retained for longer than 72 hours unless a court order under section 1805 of this title is obtained or unless the Attorney General determines that the information indicates a threat of death or serious bodily harm to any person.
One presumes that Loretta Lynch made no such determination or applied for a an order from the FISA court to maintain records on Trump and his "cronies."
Why would the Russkies not want to gain leverage on the Witch, when, everyone assumed she would be elected until late into the night?
p.s. Witch was not my first choice.
Furthermore under section 1802 of the same statute the facts of any such surveillance were required to be reported by the AG to the select committees on intelligence.
Dear Mssrs. Republican Chairpeople, I am conducting surveillance on Donald Trump and his cronies as part of our surveillance into Russian hacking. Yours sincerely, AG Lynch.
I’m sure the temptation would be very great to use available technology to monitor individuals of concern to the previous administration, and given the lack of concern over making an end run around legal restrictions regarding US persons demonstrated with the monitoring of the Trump team, I have little doubt that it occurred. I’d assume the “paper trail” was cleaned up as much as possible during the transition, though, but mistakes are made. Worth looking into, definitely.
How about Justice Roberts, is this how they got him to support OC?
Very interesting, I had never thought of that but you could be 100% correct.
WOW...rats will stop at nothing.
