Ben Rhodes melts down over Grenell's unmasking of Flynn's 'unmaskers

Former White House spin doctor Ben Rhodes isn't taking Ric Grenell's unmasking of Gen. Flynn's Obama administration unmaskers very well.

Here's some of his wild flurry of tweets and retweets:

Ben Rhodes

The unconfirmed, acting DNI using his position to criminalize routine intelligence work to help re-elect the president and obscure Russian intervention in our democracy would normally be the scandal here...

Ben Rhodes

It's not a "theory" it's bullshit served up with the expectation that a bullied media will credulously spread disinformation to a mass audience.

Tommy Vietor

The people who "unmasked" Flynn are top national security aides. It's literally their job to understand intel to help make informed decisions.

Jon Favreau

It’s really pretty simple. If you don’t cover it this way, you’ve failed at your job and are actively facilitating a partisan political scheme.

Adam Blickstein

Can I recommend a way reporters should be covering the "unmasking" news?

"Republicans, Trump Manipulate Routine US Intelligence Activity to Attack Political Opponents"

He wasn't even named in this tranche of documents, but some of his pals were.

According to the Conservative Treehouse, regarding the list of Obamatons actively involved in surveilling and unmasking Flynn for political purposes:

"Literally their job"? Guess everyone unmasks political opponents through the apparat of government — is that it, Ben? The news has since broken that Obama knew all about these Flynn unmaskings. And his vice president, Joe Biden, was actually named as an unmasker.

What might be behind the Rhodes frenzy? Rhodes himself is on the record as claiming that the Obama White House knew nothing at all about the unmasking of Flynn. Now he's claiming it's all "routine intelligence" work, and any effort to question it is "politicization."

Ben Rhodes -vs- Susan Rice: We Didn’t Know About The FBI Flynn Investigation That Obama Instructed The FBI to Conduct “By The Book”…

Conservative TreeHouse ^ | 5-14-2020 | sundance
It’s always worthwhile to revisit past assertions and denials when presented with new evidence. Consider this… During an interview on April 26, 2019, former Deputy National Security Advisor to President Obama, Ben Rhodes, told a journalist the Obama White House didn’t even know there was an FBI investigation into President-elect Trump or Michael Flynn. (Watch video clip) If the White House didn’t know about an FBI investigation into Michael Flynn (per Ben Rhodes), then how does President Obama tell the FBI to conduct their investigation “by the book” according to Ben Rhodes boss, National Security Advisor Susan Rice. See the...

"criminalize routine intelligence work"

Problem:

1 It was a crime for each of their unmasking acts.

2 That their illegal behavior was routine does not then make it legal.

All good about this jacksnipes whining reactions and fear.

The real issue is not his “cover” concern— the real issue is the 30,000 plus non requested so called “upstream” unmaskings being done by people in the NSC WH (staffers, pretending to be WH) and apparently within the FBI. Thousands of Americans on a STASI like electronic surveillance that was “unmasked” without any formal request. The number of illegal unmaskings are in the well over 30,000 range by individuals who used the “tricks” do get this info, for whatever reason— and definitely not at all about foreign agents interfacing with Americans in every case.

Oh, no this was anybody that obamagate worker bees (in different WH agencies) were tasked to produce. Lots of people, useful in the political blackmail and illegal manipulation of our elections. Maxine Waters bragged about
obama’s “files of information”-— like it was a brainy superior skill.

No— this was being run by the people who RAN obamaumao— as a puppet, and wanted to stay in power with hitlery. Every body in the “enterprise” of surveillance with “dog in the hunt”— profit and power. It really is a huge number way beyond Flynn.

Flynn is a prominent excellent example of these vicious amoral animals-— because he KNEW what they were doing, and intended to shut it all down. If someone is comfortable with this blanket unmasking-— then they are a MAJOR enemy against our Constitutional government of Laws. Obamaumao set the dogs on Flynn for the exposure risk to obiwon that was and still is quite large.

“This is the most transparent administration in history,” Obama declared in ’13.
Shortly thereafter, he was using the NSA to spy on members of Congress opposed to his deal with Iran. Three years later, he was caught secretly smuggling a fortune in foreign currency on unmarked cargo planes to Iran. That same year, his close associate, Ben Rhodes, bragged to the New York Times about their control of the media. “We created an echo chamber.” The “echo chamber” was its own secret society of media people who would be coordinated together to push White House narratives. ——
