Joe Biden still may be undecided about who to pick for a running mate, but Donald Trump’s team knows exactly who they want: Susan Rice.
Trump’s aides and allies accuse Rice - without delving too deeply into the evidence - of helping cover up crimes for two of the president’s favorite foils, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, making her just the kind of deep-state villain who could fire up his MAGA base.
“She is absolutely our No. 1 draft pick,” a Trump campaign official said.
Rice, the former ambassador to the United Nations and national security adviser for Obama, is accused of revealing the identities of top Trump associates in 2016 after they were picked up as part of U.S. surveillance of foreign officials.
Four years earlier, she faced allegations that she misled Americans when she announced on national TV that the fatal attacks in Benghazi, Libya, occurred after spontaneous protests in response to an anti-Muslim video. That was determined to be inaccurate.
On Monday night, Tucker Carlson, the Fox News host influential in Trump’s orbit, opened his show with a lengthy diatribe about Rice and her role in the 2012 Benghazi raid - strikingly similar to the attack Republicans lodged against Clinton in the 2016 race against Trump.
“I can’t think of anyone that is more polarizing who would fire up the base than Susan Rice,” said former Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Republican who investigated the Obama administration as chairman of the House oversight committee. “They know her, and they don’t like her.”

ARE YOU SERIOUS? This azzhole is the best they have?
Some might say that Rice knows enough dirt to demand she be put on the ticket....but Democrats do not seem to work that way.
They keep their mouths shut because party loyalty is more important than anything else.
This will only help Trump/Pence.
The Hill is claiming that the allegations against Rice are "inaccurate."
I wouldn’t trust Politico to clean out my catbox, let alone believe anything they print.
Well, their only alternative was an old, white Communist that only considers himself a Democrat once every four years around Primary time.

False statements by Susan Rice in her January 20, 2017 “Memorandum to File” potentially expose her to criminal prosecution.
The declassification of the entire Susan Rice “Memorandum to File” dated January 20, 2017, and further “clarifications” given by former Amb. Rice about her role in the January 5, 2017 meeting which is the subject of the Memorandum, raise questions about what Rice wrote that could end up exposing her to criminal investigation and prosecution in ongoing Justice Department probes.
Let us start by stitching together a few factual representations about events reflected in the Memorandum as written by former Amb. Rice.
First, from the text of the Memorandum, we have the following:
“On January 5, following a briefing by IC leadership on Russian hacking during the 2016 Presidential election. President Obama had a follow-on conversation with FBI Director Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office. Vice President Biden and I were also present.
Susan Rice puts herself in the room for the “follow-on” briefing, which from the balance of the Memorandum concerned Gen. Flynn, and the intercepts of his conversations with Russian Ambassador Kislyak.
This is at odds with what Sally Yates told the Special Counsel’s Office (SCO) during an interview on August 15, 2017. The Memorandum of this interview is attached to the DOJ motion to dismiss the prosecution of Gen. Flynn, marked as Exh. 4. In that interview Yates told the SCO the following:
Yates first learned of the December 2016 calls between [LTG Michael] Flynn and [Russian Ambassador to the United States, Sergey] Kislyak on January 5 , 2017, while in the Oval Office. Yates, along with then-FBI Director James Comey, then-CIA Director John Brennan, and then Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, were at the White House to brief members of the Obama Administration on the classified Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian Activities in Recent Elections.
President Obama was joined by his National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, and others from the National Security Council. After the briefing, Obama dismissed the group but asked Yates and Comey to stay behind.
This sets up the factual inconsistency between the recollections of Rice and Yates about whether Rice was actually in the Oval Office during the conversation about Gen. Flynn as Rice stated in her January 20 Memorandum.
In testimony before the House Intelligence Committee on Nov. 2, 2017, Yates did not discuss the existence of this “follow-on” meeting as Rice called it. She was careful to avoid answering any question which would have disclosed the existence of the discussion about Flynn between Pres. Obama, Dir. Comey and herself. The subject of the Jan. 5 briefing is addressed beginning at p. 78, but the Committee members were unaware of Rice’s memo at that point which disclosed the existence of this “after-meeting.
Exactly. It was pure fabrication, and BTW, is that “videographer” still in jail?
Gov. Cuomo is waiting for the call for him to ascend to the top of the Demonic Party Plantation.
Good point, Yo-Yo. The “independent”? Feel the Bern. You KNOW government is messed up when...
Great details, GREAT poster. Thanks, Liz.
Save for later.
“Inaccurate” is when I weigh a package labeled as 1 Lb. and it actually weighs 15 oz.
If I claim on 4 news shows that 4 Americans died due to a “controversial video” that no one actually watched, that’s much, much worse than “inaccurate.”
It would be great if shortly after they announced her she got indicted.
Susan “5-Times” Rice for Veep! Bring it on.
Yep, for 3 days they told us it was a spontaneous protest when they knew within hours it was a planned terrorist attack, to hide the fact that they did NOTHING to defend American lives. No, they did do something: they ordered our forces to stand down. They assisted the terrorists instead.
