Susan Rice Ordered Spy Agencies To Produce ‘Detailed Spreadsheets’ Involving Trump
The Daily Caller ^ | March 3, 2017 | By Richard Pollock

Posted on 04/03/2017 8:38:58 PM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

Former President Barack Obama’s national security adviser Susan Rice ordered U.S. spy agencies to produce “detailed spreadsheets” of legal phone calls involving Donald Trump and his aides when he was running for president, according to former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova.

“What was produced by the intelligence community at the request of Ms. Rice were detailed spreadsheets of intercepted phone calls with unmasked Trump associates in perfectly legal conversations with individuals,” diGenova told The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group Monday.

“The overheard conversations involved no illegal activity by anybody of the Trump associates, or anyone they were speaking with,” diGenova said. “In short, the only apparent illegal activity was the unmasking of the people in the calls.”

Other knowledgeable official sources with direct knowledge and who requested anonymity confirmed to TheDCNF diGenova’s description of surveillance reports Rice ordered one year before the 2016 presidential election. . .

This operation may have been going on since 2009 when Obama took office. It may have been used against Republican candidates in congressional races and against the Romney campaign. Negative information obtained against members of Congress could be used for blackmail. They obviously targeted CBS journalist Sharyl Attkisson and probably many more journalists.

Like, *PING*:

They should check back to 2011 and 2012 before Obama’s reelection. They could have been doing the same thing to Romney.

Thanks, kabar.

Note also, Maxine Waters' remarks over Obama's awesome database that knows everything about everybody. If I were Trump (which I'm not), I'd be considering how to generate an anomalous subduction zone in the Earth's crust to swallow that NSA facility in Utah whole.

Point being, what if China or Russia has hacked into it like they penetrated the OPM databases?

Very well said, and excellent use of the word “priggish”. Priggish and Trump are worlds apart, and that is one of the many reasons he won.

It’s all warped. We may not be seeing the outrage because that, too, is not being reported. Jeff Sessions is proceeding cautiously it appears. I think it might also be on us to mount some big outrage and express to everyone. It’s horribly damaging to our country.

Give it a rest, Nathan. Trump is the master of the sucker punch.

To quote Stephen Byerley in Isaac Asimov's Evidence:

“Exactly. I mean that I’m going to let him go ahead, choose his rope, test its strength, cut off the right length, tie the noose, insert his head and grin. I can do what little else is required.”

Comey can’t find his ass with two hands and a map, and has equal lack of success crafting a referral to a “reasonable prosecutor”.

Comey couldn't find his ass with both hands if you spotted him the first nine fingers.

Actually, I think he's corrupt as f*cking Hell.

I do not criticize the 5 AM tweets because Trump had the wrong goal motivating those tweets. To the contrary, I think it was well directed to try to change the subject from his own alleged collusion with the Russians to throw the election to unlawful surveillance by the Obama administration. My only objection is to the manner of carrying that out. I expressed those objections clearly:

As I said on the very morning when he came out with these tweets at 5 AM, the style of the tweets was extremely ill advised. He has been drubbed unmercifully in the leftist media because his tweet was so ineptly styled. I said then and I say now, he should have consulted with competent attorneys, he should have mobilized the Attorney General, he should have presented his allegations to the public with the full panoply of his office and supported with at least some facts. He left himself open to criticisms for misusing the word "wiretap," for claiming that it occurred in the Trump Tower, and for alleging involvement by Barack Obama himself, without any support then or since then. The tweets were half cocked and the vindication has long since passed the attention span of the public.

That is a pity because it was so easily avoided.

The approval ratings are unanimous and across-the-board. I remind you, Trump lost the popular vote.

I also remind you that shortly after these tweets were released the Obama administration had to make a climbdown announcement that it would not be speaking more on the subject until the conclusion of congressional investigations. The optics of that climbdown suggested that they did not have the goods. More of the pattern of impulsive mismanagement which was not necessary. The same effects of changing the subject could have been obtained with more judicious announcements.

There was no danger of leaks if he managed the matter properly. Nor did he have to wait extended periods of time. Presumably he had some evidence which instigated Trump to tweet, surely some of that could have been alluded to. Lawyers, experienced in matters of proof, might well have told him whether or not they had the goods on Obama himself. They might have told him not to use the word "wiretap." They might have told him to allude to some bit of evidence for credibility. Anyone might have told him to consider a more formal announcement coupled with an announcement of initiation of an investigation. All of these things have been done for generations by savvy presidents working with their advisors. Trump should have availed himself of some of these and he would not have been the object of ridicule across the establishment media for weeks. Yes, of course they will criticize him but perhaps they might not be calling his sanity into question as they have been doing.

As I said, the pity is it was so easily avoided. The same results, turning the question around, could have been achieved without the downside at least in the conservative media although it is pretty clear that the establishment media was not going to cover his allegations seriously and have only begrudgingly started to do so with the revelations about Susan Rice.

I suppose you believe the Trump was playing nine dimensional chess (evidently 3-D chess is not grand enough for the Grand Master) as has been insisted on these threads.

The problem is his numbers are in the tank and a lot of the country, a huge percentage of the country, believes that he is unstable partly because of these kinds of tweets.

If he wants to land a "sucker punch," he should not drop his right, he should not lower his guard and leave himself open to all these scurrilous attacks that the establishment media have been hurling at him ever since he tweeted these allegations.

I don’t care how universal the “approval ratings” are, they are as wrong now as they were then. And I don’t have to remind you that but for a mere 510,00 votes, Trump also would have carried 7 more states with another 51 electoral votes.

There is a type of clock in DC that starts a leak-o-meter every moment you delay/discuss a decision.

The wording of the tweet was perfect. Priggish specificity should give way to “communicatin “ every tine. Trump was a genius in this tweet.

,”...but of course, she's on video saying she was doing this so she could turn the sheets over to the incoming administration and they would have the information available to them

Why, that sounds like blackmail in the making; or conspiracy to destroy Trump for the audacity of hope to run against the Establishment.

His numbers are not in the tank; the polling remains as skewed in favor of the Dems as it has always been.

Speaking of in the tank, think back to immediately after the election:

The counts of votes on all major networks stopping *dead* for several hours while Dem fraud masters apparently tried turning the boxes upside down and shaking them to produce extra Hillary votes.

Election night, John Podesta (the Molesta?) coming out to say it's not over yet, they're not done counting.

First the spurious recounts which stopped as soon as they showed Dem election fraud / Trump's true vote increasing.

The calls of "But Trump lost the POPULAR vote!"

Hollywood's "public service" ads with third-rate actors cajoling electors to "go unfaithful". ("...and you'll have my respect / *my* respect / my respect")

Then the calls of "Russian influence" which morphed into "Russian hacking" which morphed into "Trump has been ...working with! ...the Russians."

Coupled with the hit job on Flynn.

And all breathlessly pummeled into the American psyche (for those still stupid enough to rely upon the MSM) 24x7.

Trump deflects the narrative with a single tweet: and as it turns out, what Obama's minions actually did is far worse than what the Dems had said Trumps "deranged fantasies" were: and is backed up by incontrovertible hard evidence.

And all you can do is whine about how Trump is going to lose, and he deserves it?

? Seriously, why don't you go talk up how well Merkel's importation of Middle Easterners is going for German women? You'd have a better chance of being given credence at this point...
