Lindsey Graham: ‘We Will Continue’ to Look into Susan Rice’s Unmasking
Breitbart ^ | 4 May 2017 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 05/05/2017 12:16:39 AM PDT by Trump_vs_Evil_Witch

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he would continue to look into whether Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice improperly unmasked Trump campaign officials, after she declined his invite to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Russian interference in the 2016 elections next week. “At an appropriate time, I expect we will continue down this path. I hope Ms. Rice will come before the committee – and not just the press,” he said in a statement.....

a recent Wall Street Journal editorial took issue with her assertion, pointing out that Democrats in 2005 had claimed the practice was infrequent, especially by political appointees. It also said that Rice had no direct intelligence duties in her role as national security adviser.

“Ms. Rice had no direct intelligence duties in her NSC post, and no Democrat has provided a valid reason that Ms. Rice might have needed to unmask anyone associated with the Trump presidential campaign,” the editorial said.....

Susan Rice needs to be placed under Congressional subpoena and a Special Prosecutor needs to be called to investigate real felonies that involved unmasking US citizens for political purposes....When is Congress going to begin a real investigation of real crimes committed by the Obamanistas in their desperate attempt to stay in power?

[I hope Ms. Rice will come before the committee]

Oh yeah, LG - Keep that hope alive.

They’ve all already lied about Benghazi. You’re not going to get much without waterboarding them I think.

I’d love to be proven wrong.

Who the hell does she think she is....refusing to answer questions? Despite her disturbed allusions about herself, Susan Rice has been a huge detriment to our republic. She was given a little power to pump her resume by the moron posing as a president. Now she's operating under severe delusions about her actual role in govt.

Taxpayers demand she answer questions....and they want answers now.

Questions for Rice:

1. When did you request the unmasking, and from which agency?

2. Who in that agency actually did the unmasking? Please provide the written requests you submitted.

3. Once the names were unmasked, did you still believe there was a threat to national security from the named US persons?

4. If so, with whom did you share the information, and what actions were taken to protect America and American citizens?

5. If you did not, then you should not have shared the names with anyone else, so how did the names become known?

6. Why was any of the info detailed here deliberately withheld on the FISA application? (it's a felony to willfully withhold information when applying for a FISA).

=====================================

(HAT TIP OMEGATOO)

<><> If the information found in the ‘incidental’ involvement of any US Person was threatening US Security, and America citizens' safety, why did US security agencies wait for Rice’s request to unmask?

<><> Did Obama issue a secret stand down order?

<><> Why did Rice on PBS initially deny responsibility for the unmasking?

<><> Why was this threat not unveiled at the time or since? Why now?

Alarmingly, the supposed ‘threat’ identified by Rice was about to be inaugurated as President of the US. Shouldn’t Congress have been notified? Why did Rice keep it a secret? Maybe she planned to collude w/ the Clintons to sell the intel to a foreign country?

The NSA didn’t unmask the information initially, plus later investigations found NO collusion between Russia and Trump. Seems to be proof-positive that whatever suspicions Obama/Rice/Brennan may have had to justify the unmasking were absolutely wrong, or more likely non-existent.

Contact your Representative and Senators---demand these questions blanket the media---and demand Susan Rice answer them.

A Wall Street Journal editorial took issue with Rice's assertions (actually her deranged mindset). Democrats in 2005 had claimed the appalling practices she engaged in were rare for a political appointees like Rice. Rice had no direct intelligence duties in her role as Obama's national security adviser.

“Ms. Rice had no direct intelligence duties in her NSC post, and no Democrat has provided a valid reason that Ms. Rice might have needed to unmask anyone associated with the Trump presidential campaign,” the Wall Street Journal editorial said.....

So Rice also lied to her employer? As of March 2017, Rice has begun a job as a Distinguished Visiting Research Fellow in the American University’s School of International Service.

She told the school her position with Obama involved providing the President with daily national security briefings and was ‘responsible for’ coordinating the formulation and implementation of ‘all aspects’ of the Administration’s foreign and national security policy, intelligence, and military efforts.

She said nothing about her investigative intel activities.

I wonder when Lindsey Graham is going to start saying things I don’t want to hear. It’s encouraging to hear him say the right things, but knowing he’s going to snap eventually takes the fun out of it.

Congress is toothless when it comes investigations. They more concerned about politics in these hearings.

Any investigation should be done by the DOJ. I have no faith in the FBI which very sad and dangerous for this country.

Graham said: "I believe Russia tried to interfere in our election. Did the Obama administration try to politicize intel? I don't know. I'd like to get the answer to both."

Graham suggested he was unlikely to issue a subpoena to compel her testimony.

Lindsey Graham wants Susan Rice to testify at hearing - CNNPolitics.com - May 2, 2017

When asked if he would go as far as a subpoena of Rice, Graham replied "I don't know where we'll go with her yet, but I do believe that she should be before the committee. She talks to MSNBC and she talks to CNN about what she did as national security advisor regarding unmasking. After the hearing Monday ask me that question."

He later went on to say, "What I want to do--there's three things I'm focused on. Whether the Russians were involved in the election in collaboration with the Trump campaign and now was there politicization of the intelligence gathering process."

Can't have a good whitewash without a public investigation, and maybe some outrage. Like every scandal that comes before Congress, this is going nowhere. Political theater for the suckers.

And Comey’s playing a balancing act with his testimony and not wanting to investigate certain people - if all the truth gets out one will find he was trying to “be a decent guy” while looking the other way and allowing some bad crap to be done against citizens for political reasons.

An article in the Guardian last week provides more confirmation that John Brennan was the American progenitor of political espionage aimed at defeating Donald Trump.

Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under Hillary, Brennan teamed up with British spies and Estonian spies to cripple Trump’s candidacy. He used their phony intelligence as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into Trump, which led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice, among other Hillary supporters, to spy on Trump and his people.

==================================================

YES, SEN GRAHAM, ONE CANDIDATE DID COLLUDE W/ RUSSIA---THAT WOULD BE HILLARY
John Brennan’s CIA operated like a branch office of the Hillary campaign, leaking out mentions of this bogus investigation to the press in the hopes of inflicting maximum political damage on Trump.

=============================================

ONCE AGAIN---FROM THE EXPOSE---Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under Hillary, Brennan used foreign phony intelligence as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into Trump.....that led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice's sifting operations....

Not only Brennan.... "Susan The Sifter" had a dog in this hunt......Hillary tapped her for Secy of State. Mighty powerful incentives for anti-Trump political shenanigans.

Thankfully, Susan's so stupid, her public explanations of her activities set her up for a precipitous fall.
